Off-Topic / WB's body building and general fitness thread [97]

Erm cheers Jon............. i suppose. Couple of insults, couple of praises - i catch your drift mate.

business guy who has been messed around by his employ from time to time

It was basically a couple of Polish guys working for me who really messed things up and gave me such head aches.

My care for the people warrior status was beaten out of me

This is an interesting statement, ive known of a lot of people who gradually swing more to the political right with age.......and wisdom. Cant see it happening to me but still.

Classifieds / Any concrete offers for IT jobs in Lublin, Poland? [14]

Don't forget that Polish professionals in the uk are highly valued for their work ethic and commitment.

Not any more, its the Romanians and the Bulgarians now. The Poles have become some what selective, and in my line of work i find them bringing their Polish work ethics to the work place more and more.

If a young man comes to the uk from Poland he will have less family and social commitments,

What you basically need as an employer is somebody who's tasted poverty or better yet trying to escape poverty, these guys work and work. Gotta love capitalism.

Canned vegetables are packed with salt like most canned foods.

The only canned food i eat regularly are tomatoes for my pasta sauce. I never eat frozen or canned veg, can't stand it. I try to buy organic free range meat, not the typical supermarket stuff. Chocolate is my problem, love the stuff.

Never eat a farm raised fish as they are horrible for you.

Yeah you got to be careful about a lot of this mass produced crap.

Aha, they do look pretty good.

They're not mine mate, that's Tom Hardy. His traps are freaky...especially in comparison to the rest of his body.

I was basically just eating boiled eggs and boiled veg with the occasional KFC three piece meal and all that. I really struggle with diet. Whats your favourite Polish food?

Life / Best area to live in Lower Silesia, Poland? Property in a countryside. [33]

I dont think Dolnoslaskie is classed as Poland B. I love that part of Poland, if i ever live in Poland again it would probably that area...again. Plenty of diversity, more favourable climate than other areas, near to Czech republic and Germany, mountains....and of course Wroclaw. I really like the city of Klodzko, shame it has so much poverty.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

Democracy is overrated. So is freedom.

We don't have true democracy or freedom.

If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it. If you think you're free, try going somewhere without money.

Life / Snow in Poland, where is it? [22]

I used to use the ski resorts of Zieleniec and Czarna Gora a bit as they were quite near me, they're both only about 600 meters up to just over a 1000, so they cant have any snow at all. My old house was 165 meters above sea level and that hasn't seen hardly any snow for years. When we lived there i had to dig a trench to get the the firewood outside.

Life / Snow in Poland, where is it? [22]

I lived in Poland from late 2005 till early 2011. I remember the first winter temperatures of when i lived there reaching as low as -36, it was Jan18th & 19th 2006. That first year the snow didn't thaw till late March. Every year i lived there it was cold in the winter with consistent temps of below freezing, I remember two winters of temperatures being no warmer than -5 for three weeks consecutively. From what i can gather there hasn't been snow on the ground for longer than about 5 days in Dolnoslaskie since i left in 2011. People I speak to who still live in Poland keep saying "ohh we've been fortunate this winter".

I look at weather a lot and i haven't seen colder than -8 for 5 years in Wroclaw. We had - 12 / - 16 almost every year when i lived there. Am i fcuking nuts or is the weather in Poland much warmer? Wheres the snow?

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

From BBC News...

Ha the BBC reports that in friggen Poland but completely ignored the 50,000 marching through central London last year opposed to austerity. If it suits BBC's agenda it makes the national news...

hopefully more than handful of people will actually show up. People tend to feel powerless in situations like this and take on the 'not my problem' and the "theres nothing we can do anyway" attitude. It takes a lot to get people out on the streets protesting.

It is plainly sad how the french just handed over the keys of their country to the Muslims.

whats painfully sad is how easily you are manipulated by media and plain ignorance.

Life / HIV/AIDS growing in Poland - more fear of pregnancy than STDs [82]

Being a drug addict is not the norm.

That depends on your definition of drug addict, ALL smokers are drug addicts, ALL people who regularly use drugs illegal or otherwise are by definition drug addicts.

Normal by your definition is what the media tells you, what is really normal?

Life / HIV/AIDS growing in Poland - more fear of pregnancy than STDs [82]

maybe someone will answer this for us.

I'll have a crack, maybe because being HIV positive for many is case of environmental exposure as opposed to ignorance. Drug addiction is also an enviromental specific. The EU way of life is pro freedom and pro empathetic. Imagine if you were unlucky enough to be born in such a harsh environment wanting to better your life by moving abroad but couldnt as a result of common, ignorant, monetary based public opnion.

Off-Topic / Some November afternoon in Warsaw... Poland Solidarity with France [44]

he even set out his own holy book (sound familiar), did anyone do anything when he began annexing chunks of Europe to build is Reich (Read caliphate), did anyone do anything until he attacked Poland (Read France)

If you put it like that all governments sieze power (and maintain it) through terrorist lines. I dont need to read any books im quite familiar with rise and fall of the Third Reich.

The world is learning. We havent had another global war atleast. Terrorism is not war in the traditional sense.

Problem is no one has the balls to do anything nowadays (They might offend someone)

The solutions are out there, the technology is out there right now. Problem is its not very profitable. There are plenty of people who know exactly what the solutions are, but the media does not give them the air time. This is the real war....the evolution of our species away from a monetary based, profit driven social system...... and its one that effects every sinlge one of us in the deepest sense imaginable. Its the reason ISIS exist if you really want to go back far enough.

Feelings - more accurate? What do you mean?

The media tells you what to think, what to say and how to feel.

I wouldn't have them otherwise.

You would, and they would probably be more accurate.

Didnt I read somewhere that you said you hadn't been here in ages, and just popped in to share condolencies over the recent terrorist attack? If thats the case how did you know im WB?

Ah, wait a minute, so are you saying that ideological wars weren't really about ideologies, but about resources?

Im saying what i said: most wars about resources........in the end.

my dad (Who went through wwII) once said to me when I was very young, that people would forget the errors of the past and make the same mistakes again, I didn't understand what he meant then, but I do now.

Please expand on that. Terrorists are basically fighting wars the only way they can be effective...through terrorism.

That's a point I was trying to make for years on this forum - people are pretty much the same everywhere and with the right circumstances they turn into animals/monsters/you name it.

If one person has the ability to strap a bomb to himself and detonate then we all do: given the appropriate envoironmental conditioning. If i could teach the wolrd one thing it would be this.

Well, Communism is a religion too, is it not?

No, its a social system. Capitalism would be closer to religion for many, especially considering how so many worship money.

One does not need to have a personal relationship with France to be shocked and horrified by what happened

Absolutely, effective media campaigns can have people rioting in the streets over pretty much anything they want.

Islam is causing this and not psychopaths using religion to their own twisted, psychotic purposes?

Thats what the media is brainwashing you to believe, truth is that religious extremism has always and still exits in most religions. Some more than others.

It's a bit as if I were saying that atheism was causing all the carnage done by bolsheviks, stalinists, maoists, etc

Not really those were resource wars, like most wars are.

Holm fought at a distance and commanded the fight right from the start, her counter punches and kicks were very effective. Ronda looked beat within about 3 minutes i would say. Holm fought an excellent fight and you could see that she definitely did her home work and stuck to her game plan. Rondas wins almost exclusively come from floor work, mainly the arm lock, she couldnt get close to Holm, Holm being an already accomplished boxer and martial artist utilised her strong points to win. Ronda was also well out of shape, she needed to stop chasing and let Holm come at her.

I remember thinking i wonder what would happen if somebody could keep Ronda at a distance, and thats what we saw here. I might even go as far as to say she was psyched out by Holm at the wigh in.
