It's a party, you're supposed to talk about crap at parties :) You're not gonna discuss world crises at parties :) At parties you talk generally nonsense and trying to score that hot chick at the far end of the room :))

Life / 80% of Polish people are boring or can't party, why? [179]

You know, the statement "it depends on the person" is a definitive answer to about 80 per cent of the threads and questions asked on this forum. Would save a lot of traffic if it were to be treated as the definitive answer anyway :)

Life / 80% of Polish people are boring or can't party, why? [179]


I think it's actually 79,2 per cent, but that's just a minor detail :) Anyway, I think it depends on the person. I've had parties where there were Polish ppl going out of their heads for craziness: dancing, jumping around, simply having fun. Then again, I've had also parties where the Poles just sit in the kitchen talking to each other and drinking themselves to oblivion. What I did notice mainly though is that they, with very few exceptions, always cling together. They very rarely mingle with other ppl if there are multiple nationalities together at one party. If there is just one or two Poles at a multinational party, then it is ok and they talk to others as well, but as soon as there are three or more they always stick together. I wouldn't say this is because of being boring, but more out of insecurity or shyness; about the level of English perhaps. Sometimes I make an effort and introduce them to other ppl and then usually it's ok after a while, so my bet would be that they're just shy or insecure.

Travel / Public Transportation in Poland [30]

Hm, I didn't know it was such a big issue. I mean with Wroclaw I can imagine as Breslau is a complete different name, but Warschau/Warsaw/Warzava is not such a big difference. I myself am not really offended when a German calls Arnhem Arnheim or Nijmegen Nimwegen or Nimègue and I won't even be talking about 's Gravenhage, aka Den Haag, aka The Hague, aka La Haye etc :) Pls do remember that these "renamings" only come forth from being unable to pronounce the native name. But I didn't really mean to offend anybody. It's actually strange, when you think of it. The Polish alphabet doesn't use a W as far as I know, yet their capital city is written with a doubleyou...

Anyway, thanks for all the information guys! I know now what to buy when I will be heading there :) Thanks again!

Great statement with a very funny tail :)

Unfortunately it's true. AJ hates his neighbours. We tried to intermediate, but to no avail. He still hates his neighbours. And the worst thing is, they have done nothing against him, yet he hates them. AJ also can get very angry out of the blue and without any apparent reason.

I wasn't curious about the fares of Dublin Bus, sweetie. I am well aware of them (after all, I live now for 6 years in Ireland's capital): I have a Travel90 ticket, for 18 Euros it gives me 10 trips of 90 mins, which covers the trip to work back and forth and saves me 4 Euros each week. One of these tickets is enough to cover the entire working week. I was curious about the public transport in Poland as I don't know anything about that (well, now I do, with the help of the good ppl here on this thread). And I drew the comparison with Dublin Bus as imo their time table isn't really good.

Here's your answer:


Indeed. Sorry for any misunderstanding there, I generally use the names of cities that I'm most used to, which is in Dutch.


Thank you for the information, my friend.


Does this mean that if I switch buses, I have to buy a new ticket in the other bus?


Indeed, yet another big mystery of Dublin bus...:)

It's like some other souls already said: even when you give proof that it was just an accident, some depraved souls will try and make something conspiratory out of it.

Well, here at the office we have a specimen of all the kinds you like. Don't know which one is my favourite. What I like about Irish girls is that they have usually great (as in big) b**bs; Italians are unfortunately by far not always gorgeous, but it they are, they are devastating beautiful...Scottish, well, you can have drop dead gorgeous Scottish chicks and you can have outright hideous monsters. Same goes for Polish females: a lot of them are very beautiful, but when it has gone wrong at some point, it has gone horribly wrong, if you catch my drift. I would suggest French girls, Belgian girls and we have Portugese girls as well, although somehow they all look alike, these Portugese chicks. And if they're beautiful, they all look like a freaking Nelly Furtado. They for sure don't look like Spanish girls, that I can tell ya.

I think this proves conclusively that it was human error, nothing else. They ignored warning signals and were cursing like hell when the plane hit a tree. It was human error. If it weren't such a tragic event, I would have laughed my butt off about all those idiots who claimed it was a staged accident, created by Russians. I guess it's time now for them to apologize for the grip of delusion they have kept this forum in for such a long time as it's now clear all those theories were wrong, definitively wrong.

But I don't that will happen. Instead they will come with yet another delusion like that it's manufactured or sth. Sad ppl. They should grow up and learn to accept that it was only an accident. Nothing more, nothing less.

Edit: how do I know this? Because I read a Dutch transcription in an online Dutch newspaper.

It does, unfortunately. I have met a few nasty Jews too. But I also met some nasty Poles, Arabs, Dutch, Germans, Belgians and so on. I've also met a lot of good ppl from these groups. I just think you cannot judge an entire ppl based of a few experiences.


That is granted and appreciated. But I still think that you should look at the good examples you've met (and I am sure you have) and think that there are good and bad ppl in every group. Don't waste your time hating other ppl, it will only consume you and turn against you eventually. And you don't want that, do you?

True, but since the receive a lot of taxes on alcohol and cigarettes (on fags it's here in Ireland I believe somewhere around 6 Euros!), they make it their business. But indeed, everyone should decide for themselves.

@plk123:

Indeed tobacco is more addictive than mj is. And I have never believed in the "stepping-stone" theory that one thing leads to another. When you smoke cigarettes, you don't necessesarily start with cigars or pipes at a later stage. Some will do, but I guess that's more about the character of those individuals than anything else.

In NL it's officially still illegal to possess and smoke mj, however, it's condoned in order to focus on the real perpetrators: the dealers, the harddrug users and -dealers. And it works. We have actually the least drug-related problems in Europe and in fact the majority of those problems are being caused by so-called "drug-tourists"; young ppl, mostly from France who use the mj they get in the coffeeshops in the same amounts as they would do with the crap they use at home. However, the mj they get in the coffeeshops is for most part genetically manipulated and is much, much stronger, so they will most likely get some sort of an LSD trip when they use the same amount in their joints. And that causes ppl to pass out on the streets or get epileptic-like symptoms. I've seen it a few times happening and I tell you, it's not a nice sight :(

>^..^<

M-G (tiens)

News / Potheads attack police in Warsaw [40]


We should, but they won't. Alcohol is a too big a source of income for the state. So, it's much easier for the state to witchhunt the ones who simply smoke a joint.

News / Potheads attack police in Warsaw [40]

TransAtlantic, I couldn't agree more with you. Indeed, who cares if sb wants to smoke a joint? Like you, I don't really like it myself, but if sb else wants to do it, it's just fine with me. I really don't care. Sometimes, when I'm in a good mood at a party, and sb offers me a sip, I will take it, but that is just it. And I really don't see the problem there.

But indeed, Polonius, thank you for your mind provoking threads.
