I shouldn't really do this just to annoy the sheep but I do like you both.
I always find it difficult buying beer for Polish people.
They know what it means to be the host. In this respect, they are very different from us and the US.
I assume also that they should understand feelings of guilt - something that seems quite common amongst Catholics I've met.
This is another fundamental difference. The Poles don't seem to accept that guilt is part and parcel of the Catholic religion.
I don't want to appear controversial or disingenuous here, but Mass seems to, albeit in a small way, let people do wrong things, safe in the knowledge that their sins or wrongdoings will be purged and they will emerge forgiven. As a Scot, I must agree with your opinion, Osioł. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that many see guilt as synonymous with Catholicism.
Interesting times :)
Poles buy their own beer because they are guilty Catholics?
Translation = talking shite.

you didn't quite catch what I meant. Better than catching some nasopharyngital germs I suppose.
I never catch what anyone means, I live a longer happier life with my selective hearing and I have managed to apply this to reading threads :)
