Life / Uptight Poles [262]


Obviously you had bad experiences. Italians are really cool and laid back. Never had the impression they would be uptight. Look at their fashion, cars, design...hardly possible if you have a Stock im Arsssch.. ;)

Regarding polish people i can only say that i liked my time there and that even though we lost track a little bit, my old friends still contact me and i had only nice experiences.

Are there any local differences in Poland regarding being 'laid back', north-south difference? i never noticed that. Is it like that?

History / Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2? [178]


The most stupid decision in ww2 was when the austrian idiot ordered operation barbarossa. from then on just downhill.


Useless all those inventions if the deciding person has a complex and doesn't think rational.

All in total many of those inventions in ww2 we still can see in some rudiments nowadays in weapon technology.

Why did Russia attack Poland in WW2?

...to get rid of the Krautfresser. ;)

Life / Injection Moulding in Poland [21]

Bikerjenko/(Colin?)

Why don't you just contact one of the biggest molding companies in the world. They will for sure have an office in Poland, like ALCOA, Bericap etc.

If you cannot achieve there anything, ask around at some bottler and try to get connected to the cap supplier, if that's it what you want.

Generally i agree with you, but i travelled quite a lot and f.e. the more south in europe you go, the more loose the folks are. Logic to me. Sun. Valencia has 300!!! days of the year as 'sunny days'. How can you be uptight.

It's not only climate, but also, more of course culture what puts you uptight.

Life / Uptight Poles [262]


Agreed. German Cafe looks more like Kasernenhof...everything in order. Jawoll!


T-man, what a life in the name of science... ;)


Latin uptight? Where have you been? Go to a tango bar and then tell me your impressions. ;)

Life / Uptight Poles [262]


They simply now their place in life. Shows self awareness. ;)


Typical 'conquerer' behavior, subconciously. Very annoying.

History / Polish flag over the Reichstag first? [399]

=Deutsches Reich ;)

I think there is a point in that. Stalin and Hitler had similar aspirations in deviding Europe for their purposes.

Yeah, typical gimmiks are missing. ;)


Everybody loves US. ;)
Go to a Post office somewhere in Germany and try your luck. Even better, try the Deutsche Bahn. ;)


Most probably.

Not only there. The linusines usually wind up in Russia or Ukraine. The rest is spread all over Europe and the last trend I heard was Africa...for the landlords there. ;)


Can have sth to do with jobless young people, gangs, whatever...usually done by jobless or without perspective. It's fast and easy money.


Sounds like a real hunt to me...

I was just referring to your comment/joke about Poles and cartheft, 'cause I witnessed that in the 90's and thought that is over...Obviously Germans should start to drive some other brands. ;)

Wildrover, you seem to be a quite reasonable man.
I'll give you an example: I worked for a couple of years many projects in Poland and frequently we used a car. One day my collegue and I got what they call it a 'polish wheel change'. So I experienced sth similar myself, but come on how many car "crimes" are done over in UK by people with certain nationalities? Any jokes or not jokes available? ;)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastarbeiter

Nice work stupid. Didn't know that you have google under your stone. ;)

Like always tiny details are not that important, but once you evolve you'll understand that. It is more the broader picture which counts.


They are an important detail in this topic and of course the prejudices.


Are those jokes ever getting out of fashion...?

That's correct, if you have the potential to accept or maybe tolerate/like/love someone, but in Germany that is still not the fact. Especially now with the crisis going by and Germany consolidated there is no reason for tolerance.

The recent success of the green party was not based on that issue but more on the hype/fear of nuclear energy.

That what in the 70's started with the 1st Gastarbeiter was quite successful, but globalism, changes in society and of course media presence changed that completely.

Now Germany is on the 1st place tolerant to itself. ;)


Silent force. ;)

UK, Ireland / Immgration to UK. A success? [114]


That US company I worked for i visited their headquarters in US and it was like of the actual presence at work we had more than 50% meetings, talking and talking, but the productivety was close to zero.

I mean, all those managers have to justified. ;)

UK, Ireland / Immgration to UK. A success? [114]


Try to put my comment on a more abstract level. I know that you can do it. ;)

On a human level I completely agree with you, but that was not the point. Think. ;)

UK, Ireland / Immgration to UK. A success? [114]


That is probably just an example. They picked randomly Poles, but in total of course the foreigners are guilty, for whatever. That is in sink with the new strategy declaring the mulicultural society failed like Cam announced.

It is maybe just propaganda, but has its effects.


Hardly if you are in an inferior position like Poles in comparison to UK.


Besides the 'color', probably true.


Maybe 1/1000 of them what would mean a big success. The rest is low ranking work labor; resaturants, hotels, cleaning/housekeeping etc.

Why not wear tight gymnastic trousers, men and women, so both would have spiritual and physical 'fun'. ;)

pgtx, 'cause the question is legitimate and there is NO answer to it. Not here on PF or anywhere else.

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


What rules? Who is implementing them? I never heard a priest complain when someone in 'his' church was 'not dressed like it is supposed to be'. That is complete nonsense.

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


Faith doesn't need a dress code. Simple as that. If the faith says it specifically o.k., then you should comply, but the rest is just 'constuction'. Dictate. Nothing else. It doesn't have to do anything with the faith.

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


That means the building, institution???


As far as I recall Jesus said somewhere that in front of him and god EVERYBODY is equal. I'm sure that he gave a fukkkk what the people's clothing were like.

That dress code is like seanus meantioned only an "add-on" and unncecessary


It's not about a battle I thought. Everyone is equal, at least in the eye of god (?) and wardrobe is not an issue.

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


Why? Church is the place of love, sharing etc.. ;)


Do we really, if we are 'pathetic and weak'? ;)


Good luck. ;)

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


Faith is a strict personal thing imo. Who goes to church, o.k., he needs the institutions and the faith. No pro.


There is NONE.


No a lucky comparison, 'cause we both know it's strictly political driven. Almost no rationalism in that.

God bless you. ;)

In Asia that's a must, otherwise the host is insulted that you didn't like his meal.


Why? Who's "ordering" that bs? The faith?


Hygiene issue.


Did you ask them?


Just stupid cattle and I refuse that role.


Know that, but my point was about contructed, prepared situations like business meetings and how those issues are treated elsewhere...

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


see my post #30. I was little too slow. ;)

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


That was just an example.


Who is deciding that? Society? Customs? Conformism?

This stupid 'code' is probably standable as long as it's not caricaturating itself.


Who is deciding that? Wrong? Right? Happen to see one of the "Jesus" movies over the easter holidays? What were his followers waering?

The focus is completely wrong. It's not about what you wear when you go to church than THAT you go to church for whatever reasons. You adress the faith NOT the institution and its forms.

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


...and it's most of the time stupid. Read my comment #12.


That's probably not true and if they are not dressed as it is 'supposed to be' it has sometimes to do with that they maybe cannot afford sth nicer, better...


Nobody directly, but if they reveal ugly legs....the eyes maybe...just jokin'. ;)

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


Yap.
That so called 'dress code' for official buildings/companies etc. AND church is just to let you make feel their authority(over what??) and your inferiority(because of what). That's to me full bs. If that 'code' is for sth on equal level, ok., otherwise scrap it.

During one of my business trips to Israel i met the 2nd richest man in food production in one of his facilities...it was summer...they guy himself opened and received us in sandals, short and t-shirt with spots of tomato juice... ;) We were of course dressed like Communion student. ;)

Life / How could things have gone so wrong (Poland church dress code) [195]


Totally universal problem. You'll run into it everywhere when you go in a church in a small town or village. In metropoles unlikely to happen. People less visit churches and anonimity is helping. :)

News / Poland ready to receive Libyan refugees [159]


Of course. I never denied that.


Who told you that bs or where did you get that info. Maybe you should adjust your TV away from CNN, BBC etc.


Truely spoken like a 'blinded' man. If you start sth like this, you better think it through to the end and be aware of the consequences. All other talk is just pathetic and not worth a comment.

In the end, this war in Lybia is driven by ego and local power struggles with almost no coordination.
