News / Overcoming (or fostering) political hate speech in Poland? [15]

drafted a £ódź Declaration to stop hate pseech

P-Land should be very careful about going down this route. Free speech is likely to suffer. Such things are inevitably misused as a bully club to silence one side while benefiting the other. We've seen the same thing here with PC speech codes under the guise of curbing "hate speech" that the dirty Left then wields as a weapon to their political advantage by stifling their opponents.

USA, Canada / Polish Food - 40 flavors of pierogies in the US [113]

40 varieties of pierogi?
We Poles can think of maybe four types, so what gives? Is America that bizzarre now?

What's wrong with a little new American spin on a traditional Polish food? He is only selling them in the US, after all.

how about a list of those 40 types of pierogi?

It would be good to see a menu list.

And he gotta get with the shipping though. I live just an hour from where he is and that's too far to go on a food run.

Love / What is this feeling? <Filipino guy / Polish girl> [50]

Well, the truth is that it never gets any easier, really. :s
But as you gain experience in the arts of interaction and romance at least you'll know what to look for.

i'm 21 but i never really dated or anything

Well it's about time you got started. With each date, with each relationship, you'll gain confidence. As well you'll learn to better read the signs...

my heart goes thump thump

Yep, love.

Love / What is this feeling? <Filipino guy / Polish girl> [50]

I don't know it's just weird because I've never was like that before with anyone

I don't want to think that he likes me or something

Welcome to the club. ;)

Sounds like love to me. And he seems to have the same feelings for you. Go with it and enjoy it. This is what life is all about.

don't u bring me down

Don't listen to the weirdos here.

How old are you? You sound like a novice in love.

News / WHY IS POLAND STILL GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER? [197]

That's not true.Poland was widely reported in the press as the only country to avoid economic slowdown.I read about it

Yep. True. P-Land survived better than most. Because they aren't yet tied to the Euro. They should learn from this lesson and abandon that road.

Food / Polish vs. Chinese cuisine. It's all about a pig. [7]

John Wallace, secured one boar and three sows from a firm in Philadelphia.

So a Scot brought the China Poland pig from Philly! :p

China in this case most likely refers to glassware, not the country

I suspect this is right.

People can import stuff and sell it a block away from where you live.

You don't know what I do, Ms. Wal-Mart Shopper. Yes, I patronize local crafters, artisans and shops. I got to my local, family-owned hardware store rather than the big box home center chain, when I can. I buy holiday candy from the local candy maker down the street rather than from Wal-Mart... I buy gasoline at Sunoco -a locally owned company- because they don't use Iran or Chavez oil... I am always quite conscious as to how my money is spent and where it's going. Everyone should be.

We need to be more cognizant of local artisans and stop buying the mass produced junk. Give your local artisans and craftsmen a try!

I do just this. I always try to spend my money close to home. But I also am not willing to spend twice as much for the exact same thing when it can be gotten cheaper.

And I don't lie awake at night thinking of the poor kid who sewed my shoes. I think he's lucky to have the work and a meal that night.

News / WHY IS POLAND STILL GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER? [197]

Im not some bleeding heart liberal

I would never insult you by calling you that. :)

what reason is that?

pay them more so they have a better standard of living

The coffee and chocolate industry phuck these people over

Look, the thing is that we want cheap stuff and the third worlders make stuff cheap. Somebody's gotta do it.
Was a time that working conditions were poor here too but now they have gone much too far the other way. Western workers have it soft now and they're paid too much. (look what's going on in France now) If you want to spread this around the world then that chocolate bar will cost $20 and those $60 sneakers will cost $400, as they would were they made here by our greedy lazy union workers. Over-regulation... generous entitlements and union demands all impose costs on manufacturers. The free market has moved its manufacturing elsewhere because it was being undermined at home by all this expensive regulation and entitlements.

And again, viewing it from out here it may seem unjust and sad, but the third worlders are happy to have any work at all. Take that away from them because you feel bad for them and they'll have it even worse.

There was a study done in India, one village was given a good education and contreception and it thrived (2 child family)..while a study was carried out on another village(average 6 children) who went out their daily lives and believed that breeding more kids to till the land was the way to go....

Like Africa, we can't be expected to civilize primitive and uncivilized peeps. It's not up to us to solve all their self-wrought problems. Tell them to keep their damn legs closed if they can't afford to support their kids. How hard is that? American frontiersmen managed to survive and thrive without any outside assistance or nannying goverment programs and regulations. Why can't folks elsewhere pull this off today?

Back on topic...

WE ARE POLISH!

*up yours, World*

Lol. Maybe P-Land needs more pro-Poland militants defending her?

Marriage is harder on a man in general.

Do you really think so? Seems to me the girls give up more... When they marry it's like they're adopting a puppy to take care of...

Everybody gets all boo-hoo about poor third world workers but the truth is many of them are indeed glad to have the work -any work. It lets them eat where otherwise they would not. Sure their working conditions suck but we judge them compared to our modern day conditions. That's hardly realistic. They're third worlders for a reason. And who wants to pay $200 for the $15 pocket book? We may as well make it here if we're gonna start overpaying peeps. They're called 'slave labor' for a reason!

Every place on earth known for hard workers who do not get paid much has this same problem. They get used. So, what good does it do being this way?

Try not to be so cynical. :( I like it better when you're positive. :)

oh, that helps with their attractiveness, believe me!!

They could be mute for all I care! :D

No, rather the sign of language sloppiness.

Clearly they put their time and effort into being lovely. A girl doesn't need education if she is hot enough! :p

Watching all those videos I have to say that they all are not comfortable talking to the camera

So what! They are lovely! And I can't understand a word they say! :p

and their Polish, especially accent, is strange. What with this accents on last syllable? I noticed this during my last visit to Poland, too.

Polish language is evolving? Becoming westernized?

Joanna is full name and we read it "Yo-anna". Diminutive forms are: Joasia and Asia

Lovely Poland girl name. :)

there is a joke about it:
- Jak masz na imię??
- Joanna.
- Jo Andrzej, tyż ze wsi.

This makes no sense. :s

Maybe Poles themselves are to blame for not being assertive enough. They are often at each others throats but towards foreigners or the host society as émigrés they tend to be meek, mild, complaisant and try to melt into the woodwork rather than stand up

I think this is part of the problem.

Life / Is parity the answer for Polish women? [262]

We can go on and on in this vein showing the many advantages western society gives women, and yet, the shrill victimology rhetoric continues to pour forth

We could replace "women" in this sentence with "blacks" and this statement would still be true. Women, blacks, gays... they all have it pretty darn good these days. But this doesn't keep them from their eternal complaining... They're all victims of the evil white male somehow, dontchaknow... Ingrates. :s

I hope the Polish peeps are paying attention and learning lessons from the mess that has been created over here...

National Organization of Women (NOW)

In recent times NOW has revealed itself to be little more than another Leftist ideological political group than a true champion for women's causes. They have endorsed Democrats who have called their female opponents "wh0res". If a Repub did this they'd go through the roof. Also, NOW makes no attempt to hide their contempt for this new Rightie brand of feminist that has emerged lately. NOW is all about the Lib now and women second, much as some of us have charged all along.

Life / Is parity the answer for Polish women? [262]

Great stuff, Zim.

Just today I saw a story in the newspaper celebrating the suffragettes. You get some of this each year around election time. But in rehashing the past the author felt the need to add some whine about some political "inequality" of women still today. WTH? They have had the right to vote and hold office for 100 years now and yet they're still whining about some imagined political inequality? Nuts. I am sooo sick of peeps b!tching about stupid and imaginary crap. Time to tell such folks to just STFU and go make us a sammich...

Food / Any królik (rabbit) fanciers on PF? [76]

Well, to contrast P-Land with the US, we are overrun with rabbits and squirrels and deers. I call squirrels 'tree rats' as it is a constant battle to keep them from the bird feeders. Sometimes I must pay them protection to keep them away (like the Mob). And nearly every town near a stream or near a game lands has a fish&tackle and hunting shop -sometimes several. Pennsylvania, where I live, is the most hunted state and fishing is very popualr too so there are a lot of these shops around. But I'm not a hunter nor a fisher.
