Love / What do foreign women think of Polish men? [120]

Polish girls have obviously much lower standards than English or Greek women.

Thats not what I meant at all. Standards have nothing to do with ethnicity....and more in person. The fact that one is stuck up doesn't mean they have lower standards....

Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]

Bankrupt Greek men will be doing the same soon ;) ;)

The men aren't bankrupt...they're the ones that abused the system and crashed things over. It's why in Athens you see one man with a foreclosure and dying of no healthcare and another with a Maserati.

We Greeks rely mostly on looks,appearance and clothes and bla-bla comes second.

Pssssh. People in every country rely on those things....stop generalizing.

EDIT: Why the hell is there a google ad for dating Lithuanian women under my post? Seriously?

Not only that...Greek women and UK women tend to be very stuck up......maybe I'm generalizing....but that's by experience as opposed to Polkas.

USA, Canada / Are you a US citizen? Test for Americans. [67]

By now, I don't know if Osama Bin Laden is even alive.

Oh you mean that long bearded Muslim fellow, whom lobbyists for mass Oil industrialists paid billions in underground funds to government strategists in order to hire him?

Yea, he's alive. I believe he recently purchased his third Maserati.

Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]

I visited the University of Warsaw while I was there and it wasn't anything special, nice buildings but the level of education seemed like your average public school.

That might be offensive to some Poles since UWarsaw is the top in Poland. While it isn't world-class, they do have some outstanding programs such as their humanities program which ranks amongst the highest in Europe. Also, you shouldn't generalize. Private does not mean better than Public. Here in the US (where the vast majority of top schools reside) there are TONS of top ranked public schools, along with Crap loads of horrid private schools. Also you preach the Ivy League, when both for undergraduate and graduate studies they are still excellent, however they have lost their #1 ranking in most of the subjects they teach. Go figure. (ie, medicine is now Johns Hopkins, economics and biological sciences is now UChicago, Law is now Northwestern, engineering and technology is now MIT, physics is now Caltech, and so on)

If you like top schools come here to the University of Chicago. We have some of the best buildings and architectures than any other school in the US, and we have more Nobel laureates than any other institution in the world. (over a dozen of whom are current professors)

I'm a summer student there, during the year I go to Loyola University which is a neighboring school.

go to the World Health Organization website

lol, and I thought I was the only one spending hours looking at those numbers.

UK, Ireland / No job unless you're Polish [201]

manufacturer Forza AW

It's an Italian company, and with what poor management the UK gov't has on foreign firms I think it's our corporate leaders in Milan who have more of a say in this.

that would be The Daily Mail.

The lowest rated news source in the UK.

Poles work harder, more efficiently and effectively

Thanks Stalin, how many times have I heard you correlate labor with ethnicity? Poles might have the intent to work harder when they come to the UK with penny-cash in their pocket and only have small jobs to choose from, with no money for an education, to send back home as expected, or to live; they work their asses off to get those essentials, something which the UK citizen is born into. Not to mention most are on a time limited work/study visa.

50 million

Nope, 42 million. Wikipedia lies, I too change numbers for my own reasons on there. My source? The World Development Report of 2010 by the UN and World Bank supported by the CIA factbook.

Why on gods earth would an ENGLISH person who lives in ENGLAND who would like a job in a meat packing factory want to learn Polish? We speak ENGLISH in ENGLAND, no? The factory is based in ENGLAND.

Because it's owned by Italians who have seen (look above) that the Poles are much harder and efficient workers. They simply want the superior human resource for the maximum output of product. Supply-side economics.

Of course - you understand that the Poles are just a drop in the ocean comparing to the overall UK immigration

VERY true. Here in the US as well. It's come to the point where you have lame bias too. In the UK I see, but in Chicago I experience it. I keep hearing dumbasses saying how there's more Poles in Chicago than Warsaw (which obviously degrades polish immigrants and culture as being quick to leave their homeland). However if you look at the numbers in recorded population censuses by the state government (even acknowledged by the Polish American Society) A little over a quarter of the Poles in Warsaw are in the Chicagoland area. But STILL you have Chicagoans complaining about the too many Poles in the workforce and what not. When the puerto ricans, Italians, and Germans here greatly outnumber the Poles.

British people have not historically minded when others are forced to speak English and/or discriminated against in hiring if they don't.

It's called the British Empire....

You guys are f-ing missing the point!!!!!!!!!!!
MEAT PACKING FACTORY = SWEATSHOP

lol really? By the looks of it, it seems that it's for a fortune 500 job.....

The EU will be a distant memory in 25 years.

And so he says @_@

In each population there is the average(65%),the very competent(10%). ,the useless(10%)

Oh brother, you got that out of Karl Marx's works. Even in Mein Kampf Hitler pointed out that in every single human population there was a constant percentage that was "inferior" or as you say useless.

Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]

DariusTraveller

Yea as someone who studies world history tons, Italian, Greek, and French histories are almost always the most exaggerated in European history, it's also why those countries have more or less the most nationalists in Europe. Also I know what you mean about the Mediterranean looks. I too have been to Greece and Italy and there is the olive skin, dark eyes and hair almost on everyone you run into. But personally I never have seen it to surmount to racial trouble; or at least since the other Europeans might know they're Greco-Italian. But from what I've seen many ladies like it ;-). With me I am half Polish and half Greek so I never fully "fit in" in either country. I have the pale skin of a slav, and the dark hair, eyes, and facial features of a Mediterranean.

I also agree with the asian guy above me (are you Japanese? If so Konichiwa ^_^) that I liked the rural cities more than the main capital. While you are right Darius that the people in Warsaw are more educated and open to various people, citizens in the rural areas seemed more helpful and attentive...plus I like the Polish nature with renaissance style buildings more than I do the industrial areas. However! Note that when I say rural I mean the minor cities such as Wroclaw, Krakow, Zielawola, Gdansk, or Lublin. Not some middle in the no-where with hillbillies that will most likely from the stories I've heard discriminate against everyone that steps foot there. :-/

Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]

True story.. Check wikipedia. Ever wonder why they never teach you about the Persian Empire in school.. it's always the Greek Empire even though the Greeks plagiarized our technology for hundreds of years. .. Kinda weird uh? All humor aside.

you know as someone who is Greek and respects Persia a lot such simply isn't true. Wikipedia isn't a good history source and Greek and Persian historians put it best. The vast majority of Ancient Greek discoveries and technologies were before the Hellenic empire which was actually led and run by Macedonians and even before Persia became involved in anyway with Greece. To claim that a nation fully plagarized your things just because of a few similarities is very ethnocentric and uneducated sorry to say. Moreover could I not say the same with ancient Persia and ancient china in technology?

You should note that there are many Persians whom live in Greece today and that tensions are none. All great civilizations have had great contributions, ethnocentris

simply leads to all that discrimination your complaining about.

Life / Famous Polish music and musicians [48]

Ah yes, I love Chopin he is my idol! lol

A day doesn't go by where I don't listen to his music. Ballades, Polonaises, Ecossaisses, Waltzes, Impromptus, Etudes, Cantabile, Preludes, Concertos. This guy did them all! Surprisingly few composers in history manage this, and he also is considered the master of the piano by many!

Love / All Polish women can't be nutters can they? [257]

I stopped reading half-way through. While she is the problem, the fact that she is Polish is indeed irrelevant. The fact that you made obvious mistakes is relevant though. You should have told her to stop kissing you and pecking at you after the first declaration of your ending of the relationship so you two could have gone your separate ways without having done so while being in a relationship which seems to have caused the most hassle and disturbance. Clearly it wasn't meant to be, and obviously a friendship couldn't have worked out. If you like Polish girls so much, then try again; but the fact that she was so dithering wasn't because of her ethnicity mind you.

ps. Did Southern get banned? I can't click on his profile haha.

News / Freezing weather in Poland, 42 people dead in winter freeze... and no-one cares? [140]

In Russia, I accept this. The state doesnt care. But Poland? Why people must die?

You know in Stalinist Russia you didn't see too many homeless people at all. They were either executed or given prolonged gulag sentences as a crime and traitorship against the state for being ill-productive and putting negative weight on societies resources.

If you want me to be honest with you, the problem is purely scientific which is why I am nor a socialist or capitalist but a naturalist. I believe that there are factors at play upon our species. First is, faulty socioeconomic grouping by which too many people get what they don't deserve or vice versa and abuse or lack resources in excess or demeanor. Secondly, it's overpopulation and governemnts that guarantee rights to each individual when clearly there aren't enough resoruces or allocated space on labor, commuting, or healthcare markets. Correlations also point out that strain is being put by lower socioeconomic classes having more children than the higher ones. Thirdly, specieism upon the human race not only negatively affect other species around us and the environment which ironically ends up affecting us, but it has also created ill minded perceptions upon human rights, child rearing, resource lineage and distribution, and institutions overpowering society. I'm sure you could get much more, but then again all these are prominent.

Life / RUSSIAN WOMAN IN POLAND....welcome...or not...? [33]

Culturally poles and russians are very similar.

Hm, not really. I have lived in both and they are quite different.

As for the love/hate. Well all the tensions are over, however it's Poland itself that deserves a look at. Somewhere over 97% of the people that live in Poland are Polish, so it's a very ethnocentric country in both culture and ethnicity. However, it depends on whom you meet. If you meet younger-middle aged Poles they tend not to care, howerver if you speak to the elderly that lived during the Soviet occupation, Katyn, the Warsaw Pact, they might be a bit uneasy. I have met all these type- it's sort of the same in Russia. The majority of Russians I have met don't dislike Poles, they simply don't know much about them. The few I have brought up the subject with claim to not know anything about Polish culture and to have never met Polish people. (Again there aren't too many Poles in Russia or vice versa).

But other than that, don't worry, there isn't much haste. What you should worry about is the dense culture of Poland, so learning the language might not be a bad idea.

News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]

Worst one I've been asked:

"So in Poland, who are the maids and house cleaners?"

Obvious bigotry.

Also, "Was Chopin the guy in Poland who invented vodka, since I saw that vodka with his name?"

EPIC FAIL

Love / How to please Polish women? [216]

do something big, they will always appreciate, and it doesnot have to be expensive just beautiful, but dont expect that she will marry you just for that. Polish women are educated and they calculate a lot. they trust Logic more than God so, be aware.

They trust it more? To me they have both, and use one coercly with the other.

News / WHY DOES POLAND BUY GAS FROM RUSSIA? [105]

jajajaja

You don't know about Gazprom do you? At least the Poles have it off good. Look at the Ukranians, they get theirs shut off a few times every year (usually during the freezing winters), their prices sky rocket, and the Kremlin calls them thieves to the world media.

It's because the Gazprom has the vast majority of gas in Europe and especially Eastern Europe; as for the little that exists OUT of Russia in Europe, Gazprom either fully or partially owns the gas lines, source, and company. It's called Russian style capitalism.

Love / My recent experience with a Polish girl. [231]

You both might be right tho, to avoid someone like that

awww, she probably thinks about you every night before she goes to sleep. She has still saved those old messages on her phone, and wants to be friends only so she could have gotten to know you better before making that intimate romantic aesthetic warm kiss that means so much to that lonely Polish girl. Now a tear falls everytime your innocent face jots her memory; who will be there to catch it in all it's warmth before it hits the stone cold floor below. Stone cold like her heart and soul from the lonliness burdened by a lost lover to never again be seen.
