USA, Canada / How to get Drivers license in IL without social security? [96]
Beelzebub is right. This jamie is a total idiot. He sees America as "money" and to him that's all the matters, but there are more important issues like being here illegally. Unfortunately we have a moronic presidednt who supports illegals. Being here illegal is a crime. Just like in any other country. And this idiotic thinking that America is based on immigrants is just an excuse to stay here illegally. Who cares about this jamie's job opportunities. That doesn't make him legal and what right does he have to say that Americans are lazy when they receive subsities. Many countries have support for disabled, low income, seniors, etc. not just America. We need more deporting agents out there to kick the illegals out of the country, just like their country would kick illegal Americans out.

Language / "My heart has no nation." - How would I say/spell this in Polish? [13]
You don't have to say "zadnych" as in this version: Moje serce nie ma narodowości, moja dusza nie ma żadnych granic/zahamowań
In this translation "narodowosci" does not pertain to this sentence. Also "zahamowan" is not the correct choice of words here either.
The correct translation would be as follows:
"moje serce nie ma kraju, moja dusza nie ma granic"

Nonsense. You are able to get a Polish passport because your mother was born there. This has nothing to do with citizenship. My parents were from Poland and I was born in the US. They got their citizenship in 1953 and I had a Polish passport because they were from Poland.

Strange. You must be addicted to that stuff. I'm not a coffee drinker and never need a drink to stimulate me so it seems strange that people need that. Coffee is so bad and unhealthy. Some people must like the coffee you don't like because they are addicted to it in a greater or lesser degree. The more addicted ones need the stronger brew.
Well, for me coffee is my "diesel" to get me started every day and I could not do without it

Maybe it would get delivered if you would write the address properly. Many Poles write "1" like an upside down "V", the 7 has a cross through it and mail gets rejected and into the lost bin it goes. Sorting is done by machines and once it gets rejected because of an unreadable address, it takes a while before hand inspection gets to it, if they ever can figure it out.
Out of millions pieces of mail traveling through the system daily, the few complaints received, because of human or machines error, is taken seriously. Unlike in Poland.
When you hear about going postal, it's because many employees are retired from the military who have issues before they were hired.

One way they fight against thiefs in Russian airports is by tagging your luggage so when you pass through security, they check your number to make sure you got your own luggage.

Lol.
Man, are you ever screwed up.
Nobody has ever stoled anything in the US airports from myself, family or friends. And we travel a lot across the US. We have laptops, ipods, dvd's, ds's and nothing has ever been stolen.
However, in Poland my friends and family were robbed. It's no secret the Poles steal it to supplement their incomes.
And in Ohare, Poles are the ones that are mostly targeted, because they bring illegal stuff with them when they are not suppose to. They lie. They never declare what they have and that's why they have to be searched. When they leave for Poland, they have 10 huge suitcases with them. It's amusing to watch them struggling with all their luggage and they always are crabby, mean looking and pushy. And you always have to watch your luggage in Poland because they are very good and quick at swiping your stuff.
It’s no secret that’s the way US states supplements their income, confiscating private property of unsuspected Polish travelers in the name of homeland security.

USA, Canada / Polish or American Education? [180]
American education is far better than Polish. For many reasons.
First of all, it's in English, not Polish. Poles who don't pass the "matura" exam don't get accepted into college and don't further their education. Polish teachers are unfair. They will pass you if they like your eyes. Or something else. In the US everyone has a chance to get accepted into college. When in college, you study thoroughly towards your major. Depending on what that is, it takes 4-6 years or more. Then you continue with your masters degree. Then you work as an intern.
Teachers in Poland are mean and unfair. In the US cheating is a crime, where in Poland it gets passed by.
Polish schools teach you how to cheat, how to be a teachers pet to get good grades and how to lie your way towards your goal.
Stick with education in the US. It's a longer process but it's more pleasant and at the end you learn more in your profession than you ever would in Poland.
