Love / Why do frustrated men ask silly questions about Polish women or girls? [42]

I have answered to that guy who thinks I am ugly , unemployed or depressed woman , lol.

I never said you were, I’m of the opinion that each woman has her own beauty which simply cannot be compared to any other, even if it's just an inner beauty, each one a challenge on its own, as for is it worth the pursuit?, a personal preference, isn't it? Besides I don’t think you’re Polish at all and those are just opinions, there’s no need to make it a competition, as any true blooded Pole would tell you "Każda potwora znajdzie swego amatora".

why do frustrated men ask silly questions about polish women or girls

Well , cus I am a beautiful ( stunning as most men say ) ,educated , professional women who lives in this country and can compare a lot .

No doubt, one observation if I may, if you were so beautiful or successful you wouldn’t have the time to read those silly threads in solitude, you would be too busy getting ready for your next suitor, simply put too busy getting laid, not pondering some philosophical question. Mirror, mirror ………..

Language / Polish words that sound funny? [224]

Besides the ones that sound somewhat similar or close to ones native language the ones that are also very funny are the ones you can make literal translation into Polish or vice versa. For me words like (turtleneck, guerilla war) etc, at least that was the case when I was learning the language, but I imagine words like (samochód) to a native English speaker who is learning Polish language must also sound funny.

History / Help identify medals for a Polish soldiers Grandson please [7]

The Poland sign on the epaulet is that of the Polish II Corps, the epaulet has Odznaki Zaopatrzenia Artylerii (Artillery supply).The insignia underneath are Odznaki 2 Brygady Pancernej, as for the medals you already have that covered, the one with green ribbon is Medal pamiątkowy 25-lecia bitwy pod Monte Cassino.

EDIT: very nice collection since those insignia were worn by the soldiers that took part in the battle for Monte Casino. The commemorative medal was probably awarded to the participant of that battle by one of the Polish combatant organizations in émigré, don’t know which one though.

Law / America takes leading investor spot in Poland [51]

you have to admit that you're very anti-American.

How did you deduce that Sherlock? I thought I was rather conservative and never went on to describe the places I have visited in great detail, enough to give you a general sense of my impression that’s all. I never said it was a complete waste of time and your opinion that I’m very anti-American is out of place and misguided, you’re confusing genuine criticism with hatred. Rebuttal is usually meant to counter someone Else's point not to kiss his/her ass, if you set a negative tone you shouldn't be surprised you get the same in return. I’ve seen plenty of America to form an opinion and still would like to see some more; the Pacific-Northwest for example and even your neck of the woods the South-East. Unlike yourself I don’t make it my life’s mission to bash your country; it’s the first time I wrote of my experiences there. BTW I did encounter plenty of German and British tourists as well as other nationalities there too, so I doubt that imaginary hatred of America that exist only in your head is everywhere you look, you're just being paranoid.

but the undeniable fact is that the vast majority of "my country men" still lives better than yours, even you said it

I never said such thing, I did see poverty on a scale I never seen in Poland and I doubt I ever will, however I do find Americans to be genially friendly bunch, especially the small town folks, mega city dwellers not so much. Camping in U.S is a blast, after couple of days even complete strangers around you are like best friends you have known your entire life, inquisitive and chatty like a gas station attendant in Mississippi who overheard our conversation (we did converse in English) and couldn't help himself so he just asked "where are you all from? Wisconsin?", must admit that made us giggle but it was genuine not spiteful at all and that sort of comradely I’ve seen in other places too. Americans are masters at hiding long queues in touristy places but I have to give them credit where credit is due, very efficient at it. County fairs and small town festivals also a blast. There, does that make you feel better now that I wrote about couple of positive impressions of America? Lighten up a bit it's just a forum.

You know what freedom means? It means freedom to fail.

True; however there’s a lot of it there, it makes you wonder if it’s really by choice or is it by design? After all, it’s hard to imagine a failure on such a scale.

Law / America takes leading investor spot in Poland [51]

Maybe in Chicago or in one of the big cities but not where America is still more or less America.

Been to New Orleans for Mardi Grass had to see what the hoopla was all about and then traveled through the deep south from cost to cost, American as America can be and what a sh!thole it was. To be brutally honest should have chosen Rio for the carnival. Sure there were some nice places too but that’s my overall impression. Not so long ago either, though I did like Sarasota very nice area overall, those sandy beaches but go on the Atlantic side to Pompano and you will find the familiar blocks of communist architecture and the feeling of overcrowded area something I really did not expect at all. Tampa? Some nice waterfront properties but driving to the Pier from the Treasure Island you go through the parts of town you would not like to find yourself at after sunset. Lt’s skip the middle and head straight to Southern California great natural beauty unfortunately just like everywhere else you will find poverty and eyesores there too. There was only one place on the way to California that I really liked, a livable town. Nothing like taking a road-trip to experience it all and expend your horizons, a real eye opener. Next time you’re on holiday, rent a car, you’ll get a better feel for what the region you’re visiting is all about, the atmosphere, the sounds and smells of the place; There’s nothing wrong with staying in your gated community and shutting yourself out from the rest of the world if that’s your thing but it’s like putting the blinders on and refusing to see anything that might offend your sight or smell, seeing it only in the strange places you visit as you had no choice but to go through them in order to reach your destination.

let's talk about employment in Poland SHT, do you believe that your situation is better?
I know it, I was there.

If it was do you honestly think that so many young people would have left? LOL. Let’s be honest though, for every bad you point out in Poland a similar can be found in U.S. or worse. America ain’t all that, been there, seen it, let me tell you not impressed. Once you have the financial means one place is as good as the other. You on the other hand either really live the sheltered life or have the tendency to isolate yourself from the reality by staying in your golden cage (your gated community or that all inclusive resort when on holiday), in reality you surround yourself with artificial bubble and you refuse to recognize that the myth of that all elusive American dream is just that - A DREAM for the vast majority of your countryman. To reinforce that dream you see all that’s bad and ugly in others. It’s hard to imagine that same holds true to where you live or perhaps you’re just jealous for you come to realize that even the worst of the worst that Poland has to offer don’t even come close to what you have seen in your own country. For those that are well off, comfort level is roughly the same wherever they happen to reside. If you have the financial means it don’t really matter where you choose to stay, if you don’t even U.S can be a third world sh!thole, I know - I’ve seen it.

Law / America takes leading investor spot in Poland [51]

I'm very honest with you, not where I live

One thing I’ve noticed is that usually just couple miles down the road one encounters a totally different world in the US, a contrast so pronounced that even a blind man can see, perhaps you should get out more and see all those American Kiosks. Very disappointed with what I’ve seen, not only that the grass is not greener on the other side of the pond but virtually none existent.

They employ many young people

Beg to differ, perhaps 10 years ago one might have seen a High School kids behind the counter, these days vast majority are well beyond that age group.

Even though what they pay isn't great but in many cases, it's better than nothing.

Exactly; just another indicator of the state of your job market but good enough to lower the unemployment statistics.

USA, Canada / Not everyone that lives or comes from America is RICH! [300]

There was also a study that has shown that when sh*t goes really bad, like when you need open heart surgery or a transplant, the richest of British come to America to get it done. Go figure.

While it may very well be true that many of the top specialized medical centers are located in US and cater to the elites of this world but then again; so do the exclusive hotels but I’ll bet you never stayed in one of those as it’s just too rich for your blood. Nothing really to brag about as I’ll bet you will ever see that kind of medical care in your lifetime, simply put your HMO won’t cover it and with that kind of coverage you’re better off with saving up for your funeral arrangements so your wife won’t have to put it on one of many credit cards you have which btw are maxed out anyway when the sh1t hits the fan for you.

Go figure. So close yet so far away.

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]

How can you guys be so hateful toward the Jews?

You're barking up the wrong tree, he's one of you and his quote to prove it

I was born and live in the states

or perhaps even an absent minded Jew who forgot what he put in his profile and accidentally spilled the beans in one of the threads on this forum, pretending to be Polish to show God knows what. Whatever he is one thing's for sure, by his own admission he's American troll, one of You if you still don't get it.

Edit: So do tell

How can you guys be so hateful toward the Jews?

Genealogy / Where is Borchersdorf, Germany, and Kal, Austria? [16]

two towns came up: Kal, Austria and Borchersdorf, Germany.

No idea about (Kal) perhaps you're missing something (not a full name), as for (Borchersdorf) it's Burkat.

USA, Canada / Expat Poles swearing allegiance to the US - how did you feel? [157]

even though "in some countries my life would be easier". You're only rationale for not getting out of there is

I suppose you mean US, all that and then some. LOL

You could live better in other countries, provide for yourself better, give your children or future children a better life, have a better/easier lifestyle

Newsflash, all of the above arguments are out the door in relation to US.
Provide for yourself better – indeed, unemployment at all-time high, falling wages across the board, everything outsourced where it’s much more profitable for the patriotic American corporations to do business and no end in sight. That false patriotic pride of yours won’t change the facts or bring the jobs back, besides working at MacDonald’s and subsidies the riches of the rich through your taxes is not very aping prospect at, least to me that is.

Give your children or future children a better life – I’m afraid that if you’re employed at Wal-Mart you have a fat chance to afford some crappie Community College tuition for your children let alone a proper University education, another Myth debunked. That's a prospect for a better future in America for you.

Have a better/easier lifestyle – Did I mention that you would have to work at least two shifts at either of those jobs just to feed your family and pay for the roof over your head which doesn’t leave you much of a leisure time.

What I do not understand is why the Americans have the need to stick their nose in other people’s business repeating the same old when in reality the boat they are on is sinking yet they fail to see it, they just stand there singing America the Beautiful.

Fix your own before poking your nose in my,

in the US must prove that they are against all war

Top of the morning to you.
CO claimants with the Selective Service System and in the armed forces of the US have to "demonstrate" their moral, ethical, or religious belief in opposition to "personal participation in war." They must also show that their beliefs are sincerely held, not what you have claimed.

History / If Poland didn't exist, how did citizens become Polish? [57]

Laskowska. But I believe Laskowska was a Polonized version of an earlier German name.

Laskowski is a surnames based on place names from Laskowa or Laski. Trust me it’s as Polish as can be.

History / If Poland didn't exist, how did citizens become Polish? [57]

They either did take the new citizenship or they had to leave the new Poland.

Absolute nonsense. Is that what they teach you in Germany? German minority constituted 2,3% of the population, a right to be thought in their native language, they had 700+ primary schools and 30+ high schools, they published their own newspapers etc. all subsidized by the German government at that time not to mention that they formed their own political organizations reflective of the trend in fatherland ie. Jungdeutsche Partei (Partia Młodoniemiecka w Polsce), Auslandsorganisation der NSDAP, Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle, all subsidized by the German government who were responsible for organizing anti-Polish demonstration and allowed to do so, free travel back and forth to the fatherland so their duty of serving the fatherland in the German army was not neglected. All signs of Polish government intention of kicking them out and likewise German government of wanting them back so they won’t serve as a pretext for future aggression against Poland and to remain faithful to Germany with all the privileges granted their own citizens living in their own country, and then some.

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

The problem is that as usual, the wording is vague enough to be interpreted in different ways

Bureaucrats are the same world over, similarly the law is vague everywhere otherwise there would be no need for the lawyers. I encountered similar problems as a foreigner living abroad every time I needed to take care of the paperwork. As soon as they realize you’re a foreigner no one wants to take any chances or even try to accommodate you as you’re not used to the system or don’t understand something, so for all your bi*ching about Polish system the same is true for Poles in your respective countries.

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

i feel it is the 2nd case

I do too.

Good question though, consulting a lawyer would be prudent as it is a bit ambiguous. I assume it means 2 years/24 months as it states:

pozostaje w związku małżeńskim, zawartym z obywatelem polskim co najmniej 3 lata i bezpośrednio przed złożeniem wniosku przebywał nieprzerwanie na terytorium Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej co najmniej przez 2 lata na podstawie zezwolenia na zamieszkanie na czas oznaczony.

The applicant is currently married to the citizen of Poland for a period of at least 3 years prior to filing for the change of his status and during this time the applicant continually resided in Poland for at least 2 years pursuant to the authorization of temporary residence.

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

I guess what you are asking for is what constitutes as continues stay in Poland if or when you apply for your permanent residency:

Continues stay is: When none of the times that you were out of the country was longer than 6 months at a stretch and all of those times combined have not exceeded 10 month total with few notable exceptions:

• A leave was work related as part of the agreement with employer who is located in Poland or as a spouse of such person.
• A leave was due to the necessity of obtaining necessary documents for travel in applicant’s country of origin.
• A leave was health related.

I guess the first exception would work in your favor as long as your employer would testify to that if you exceeded the 6 or 10 month rule or have it in writing clearly stating that the foreign assignment is part of your work related duties.

Law / Karta Pobytu - how long can i stay temporarly out of Poland? [30]

My question is: will my One Year Residency card expire if i stay away for more than 3 months one shot ? or it remains active for one year-allowing me regular access to Poland?

It remains active for one year. There’s no regulation as to how long you can be out of the country or the number of times you were out during that time.
