Love / I have a crush on my boyfriend's Polish friend ( advice needed ) [33]

She just wants to find out what he would do if she told him. It is all reliant on how he feels about this girlfriend. Might as well tell him and see. If he is in love with his girlfriend, he won't be interested in your advances. If he doesn't love her, he will welcome them.

Love / I have a crush on my boyfriend's Polish friend ( advice needed ) [33]

When I was with my bf I eventually got bored and started crushing on other guys. I left my bf and tried to pursue this one and it didn't work out. Whatever you decide, stay in touch with your bf.

Travel / Trail of the Eagles' Nests (trail with 25 medieval castles between Kraków and Częstochowa) [8]

It's not just about seeing the castles. It's about seeing a place you've never been and hiking around. That's the best part of any trip. This is how you really connect and take in the soul of a new spot.

She should put some eyebrows on. Too much eyeshadow, not enough penciling in the brows.

It's almost like it's not real. Those pictures...seems like she would have better ones than those if she is trying for this world record.

This is what's so awesome about Europe! Castles <3

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]

When you think about it, Germans have never really done a great job exanding, not like the British, Spanish or French. When they did try it, it didn't work out. The one great accomplishment they have is exporting. Good idea to stick with that.

Life / Latest urban art in Łódz - what do you see? [20]

It just looks too weird to be on the side of a building. Would be fine in an art museum. It reminds me of something Dali would paint. Sort of. That little yellow guy is creepy. Maybe he's some kind of pervert in the painting and that's why he looks so freaky?

Shawn, there's two sides to every issue. On the one hand, you have people who want to wait to have kids. On the other, you have people who want to have as many kids as they can. People should have the freedom to do what it is they choose.

Love / Are polish guys always looking for girlfriends? [5]

Are you hoping he will be your boyfriend?

If you are hoping for that, it sounds like he is not really bf material if he is talking like this. He doesn't sound like he wants a gf and who wants to be with someone like that? You would be undervalued and appreciated and you deserve so much more.

There isn't a question. It's just a matter of myob and leave people alone. Let them worry about what works best for them.

I was driving around today, saw several cars and several houses but not one bird in the sky or on the ground, anywhere. People expect these birds to control the insect population but there aren't enough of them to amount to a hill of beans. There are plenty of humans though. Everywhere. Why do people worry so much?

And as for pensions and such, anything that depends on one generation to take care of another is like a pyramid scheme and is seriously flawed and doom to fail. There should be a different way that older people can support themselves than this scheme.

The point it, the human species is no where near extinction and even if a birth rate slows, it does not mean the population will vanish over time so let people decide for themselves when they will start a family. It shouldn't be felt as a pressure from an outside source.

That is just flawed logic.

I guess this means Polonius3 will do his best to take care of all these kids he wants everyone to have.

Polonia is just a matter of being closely related to Poles no matter where you go! If you have close Polish relatives, you are Polonia!

News / 2000 tonnes of asbestos in Wrocław? [12]


Asbestos was sold primarily in commercial applications which is why it is removed from buildings so often. Although people could buy asbestos sheets, it was generally too expensive to put in products used by the housing industry. My Aunt works for the state Department of Air Quality and I was worried about asbestos in some old floor tiles in the home so I asked her about it and she in turn asked a coworker and that's what she told me.

News / 2000 tonnes of asbestos in Wrocław? [12]

The danger is in the removal at this point since no one uses asbestos anymore but if it isn't being removed properly in one location, chances are there are other locations with the same problem and that can mean more risks to the average person. This is why they tape each individual area off even though it's only one place.

News / 2000 tonnes of asbestos in Wrocław? [12]


The main problem is not knowing how much you are being exposed to. Let's say it's just one place one time. Likely not going to harm most people. But, if it's one place, most likely it's many places and that is harmful.

Haven't the birth rates been published on PF many times? My impression is a lot of Poles are having babies in the UK.

The problem is, Legend, you do not put real humans into the equation and you just assume these are the reasons for decline in population when It has more to do with other factors. The point being, generations fluctuate in number and you cannot rely on each one always being more than the last. If you want to see more kids, then you need to figure out how to make the world a wonderful place for them. Then you will see more of them.

Notice how they all run to Britain and then have kids? It tells you something about what they need to feel comfortable having a family.

That is kind of scary. They are supposed to seal it off so the dust stays in one area or, at the least, spray everything with water before removal.

Off-Topic / Loading a photo of Poland from your mobile/cell phone takes 30 seconds, come on! [86]


Pawian, there's an easier way. Just email the photos from your phone to your email account. That way all you need do is download once your PC gets the email. :)

And what's these pictures of bookshelves? Is this the "real" Poland?

JK, Pawian!
