Hmm, that is his style and be prepared for more. E.g., he will want to spend the first marital night with you on a lovely beach, with a professional orchestra playing relaxing music next to the bed, making the atmosphere even more romantic

Of course not. Voting is the last thing on the priority list of 16 year olds.

Work / Why Poland employers are afraid of hiring any foreign nationals? [171]


Of course, I don`t. You taught me that. I am your most loyal disciple in managing discussions. :):)


We talk about jobs, positions and workplaces. In Poland they are not cult places so Muslims, just like Catholics or Protestants, can`t demand special rights. They can go to sites designated for religious worship like mosques, churches, etc.

How simple! :):)

No, but you have a right not to be discriminated because of your race, ethnicity, nationality, religion etc etc. Should I teach you about Holy Amendments? :):)


It depends on the kind of contract you have. Should I teach you that certain contracts require legal reasons for firing sb? Like or dislike isn`t one of them.

Travel / What should I wear in winter in Poland? [29]


10 - 20 years ago, when I was very slim, I had to put on really warm clothes to survive winters which could be quite severe.

Today, with some fat protective layer on me, and mild winters in Poland for a few years, I wear the same clothes in autumn and winter. I put my old snow boots in the corner of the wardrobe and don`t remember when I used them last time.

Unfortunately, they can`t be so openly racist against any nationality. It`s against human rights. Come on, you should know it from the US, too.

Never mind.

Food / Need some Polish dessert recipes [47]


Tort is an elaborate cake with layers and nice topping. Biszkopt is just one layer.

There are two kinds of biszkopt - without fat and you call it sponge cake and there is such an entry in Eng wiki.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge_cake

Apart from that, there is sponge cake with fat, butter or margarine, 25% content, also called sand cake and only in Polish wiki.

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciasto_biszkoptowo-t%C5%82uszczowe

Thanks to fat content, this cake is more delicate and fluffier. One can choose either version to make a tort, it depends on you.

History / Early begginings of `democracy` and Polish contribution to it [8]



Yes, that is why when talking about Polish contribution to democracy, we need to remember that 1st Commonwealth`s was gentry/nobility democracy and it applied only to 10% population which considered themselves elite. City residents and Jews were excluded, let alone peasants who were considered and treated as savages.

So, Poles can be proud of it but only a little.

Work / Why Poland employers are afraid of hiring any foreign nationals? [171]


No more in 2019. Polish employees hire foreigners willingly coz economy is thriving, the unemployment is very low and 2 million Poles have left for abroad.

However, there are still cases when some premises issue scandalous ads, like this one in Gdynia where they were looking for a chef except "Ukrainian or another like that" They had to apologise after a huge negative response. And will probably face legal consequences, too.

History / Can Poland allow itself to refuse Slavija? [32]


Such a situation won`t happen cause the Slavic nations which are in the EU/ NATO won`t send such a signal to Poland - they feel good in the EU - Czechia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Slovenia. Croatia

The rest of Slavic countries which aren`t members of the EU might try to send a signal but they are too weak to convince others - Ukraine, Belarus, Serbia.

The most powerful signal could be sent by the biggest Slavic country - Russia. But it will be ignored for obvious reasons - after Crimea and Donbas, hardly anybody wants to be in Slavic Confederation with Russia.

Life / Do you really have to pay for your dogs to live in Poland [15]


The fee is imposed by local councils. The minimum fee in 2019 is 130 zlotys per dog. Some places charge less, e..g, Szczecin - 50 zlotys. Funny but most big cities don`t charge anything - e..g, Warsaw.

More here - and see the cities where keeping the dog is free.
