Love / Good looking Polish women with ugly men [416]

This is a Polish phenomenon for sure. While the women are dolling themselves up, the men are shouting 'we want to be, Smiths crisps, we want to be.....'

So that's why you moved to Poland mate ;) boom boom!

History / Poland, Lacking External Enemies, Turns on Itself [106]

Polish banks are much more disciplined in their lending than Irish banks. The private and commercial banking sector aren't comparable.

For now yes, but how long before banks will look to make some quick bucks than plan for future stability.

History / Poland, Lacking External Enemies, Turns on Itself [106]

Yes they did, capital bank didn't exactly help either. Joining the Euro meant that Ireland could borrow at rates which their economy could easily afford. Now its faced with 100,000 people leaving every year. A sad state of affairs. I wont start a thread about it due to the fact it will probably become bigoted and end up in useless arguments. Though it is a lesson for Poland to learn, whether to join the Euro and have that kind of potential behind it, or to continue what it is doing now.

Life / Mental health problem or one of the grieving stages? Death and denial in Poland. [93]

She gets up very late in the day, say 11am, and is on Facebook or online until very late, going to sleep at about 2am or so most of the time

That's quite normal for some people.

However, she seems very lively and efficient when at work, good mood, sings to herself a little, concentrates well, remembers all manner of academic stuff, speaks several languages flawlessly, dresses well, eats well, no drugs or drink or smoking.

Then I would ask why change it. The acceptance of her fathers death will come in time, if it is not having any negative effects on her life at the moment, then just prepare yourself for that time when it all comes crashing home. Even then she may just have a good cry, or may need professional help. There is no point for you looking for professional help now as it seem she wouldn't accept it anyway. So just be there for her just now, don't push the issue too much (important cos you dont want to force the acceptance in the beginning as it may end up badly) and prepare yourself for when that time comes. Could be tomorrow, could be years away. The important thing to remember is that she is the same person as before and if this is her way of coping then you must help her through it, not by forcing the issue, but by standing by as her loving partner.

For some reason, this sort of behaviour sounds like someone is encouraging it - though that's just a blind stab in the dark.

No no no, this way of dealing is quite common.

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

The more you give people the less drive they have to improve their station themselves. Handouts create and perpetuate a continued cycle of handouts. Thus, the permanent so-called 'Welfare State'...

Yeah, as you say, better to let them die ;) American healthcare system, its a privilege not a must ;)

Law / The risk of investing in Europe has risen and Poland has suffered accordingly [90]

Again, read up on my views on fiat currency in general. Countries are getting out of the dollar.

There was a scetch a few years ago of an american kid asking his parents for pocket money per week of 20 dollars...they agreed then the kid asked "actually, can i have that in Euro's?"

News / Independence Blood Bath on Polish roads over the long weekend. [69]

So it was BS after all?

He is full of BS, likes to throw his toys out of the pram when anyone points out the obviously bad side of Poland.

Actually I knew a surgeon who benefited from a shot before the operation... He took 50 to 100g, depending on the day.

Sure you did.....sure :D Did he ride on the back of a great big pink elephant?

Maybe

Next he (nott) will be telling us that if he ever needs a heart operation, that he will request the surgeon to have a half few before the op ;):D

Therefore a Pole who is driving with 0.4 g/l is considered a drunk driver

Yes. Because it's the law and the country has a bad history of drink drivers causing accidents.

Conclusions?

That those countries societies as well as Poland are still backward on there views on drink driving. Do you honestly feel by raising the legal limit it will change the amount of idiots causing injuries and deaths by drink driving.

If they are stupid enough to do it at the moment, they sure as hell wouldn't change there opinion if the level was raised.

Poland as a society hasn't shown enough responsibility to have higher legal limits.

Conclusions?

You talk a lot of sh1te...

Bizarre, Germany has one of the lowest rates, but yet, some of the most liberal blood alcohol level laws....

Conclusions?

Exactly, the legal limits have absolutely nothing to do with the level of drink drivers. It's the societies ability to recognise what is wrong or right with it's responsibilities. Therefore Germany can have a higher legal limit because it's societies views on drink driving are far more responsible.

News / Independence Blood Bath on Polish roads over the long weekend. [69]

3 in the last summer i was in Krakow, one was a homeless man pulling his cart crossing the road. The driver who was typical skinhead got out and yelled at him, then of course just drove off. The third one was a girl who was hit when trying to cross where there were traffic lights. Car came too fast round the corner and ignored the lights.

Maybe he just drinks to the German limit...which is a lot higher than the Polish limit, but yet produces a lot less accidents.....

Doesn't matter, anyone who drinks and drives should be on a one way ticket to prison.

When I was present in situation like that I've clearly said that this person shouldn't drive and then everybody agreed with me.

Did you stop them?

What Poland needs is a slight increase in legal alcohol level, comparable to Germany, and brutal policing of excesses. Then we have the problem of corruption...

Increasing the legal alcohol level??? Are you mad or just insane? It's quite clear the current levels don't stop enough drivers from drinking!

then it's less than half a victim per one driver

Which is a huge percentage. So you think its ok to get in a car while drunk and have a 50% chance of killing someone?

The only point here is this....Dont drink and drive. Anyone who gets in a car with even a single drink in them should be banned from driving and put into prison.

Life / Is the word "Polack"rascist? [185]

No, it isn't. We're talking about the nationality and not a race.

Best point made yet!
