Life / WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION? [396]


Simply that's how it is. It's a great subject for another thread. I'm not sure myself.

Life / WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION? [396]


And i want English snobs like you to get use to it. It's a natural process. No one gives a ****.


And again, don't worry about Poles losing their minds. Let them decide what's better for them on their own.


If you want to learn to speak Polish move to Chicago. In Poland people want to learn English.


Sorry i had to shorten your quote up there.

No wonder, how are you supposed to learn polish if you insist on b*tching so much in English . I tell you, you got the right attitude but try switching to polish section of the PF.


btw, I'm polish, if you switch to polish I'm ok with that. I would probably answer you back in English anyway.


If you say fakt in Polish here people are going to think you said f*cked. Don't do that.

You're Polish too, unfortunately you cant wash it off so get used to it.
Stop picking on your brethren Polish for using English words in a casual coversation. I'm telling you, everyone does it around the world, and no one seems to think it's a problem.

... I guess except a few snobbish people like yourself thinking you better than everyone else because you're fluent in English.

They want to learn English. They use you to get free lessons you pots. Kids understand that it's important to practice other languages. Stop bitcihng and answer them in English. Learn Polish on your own time.

Italians use Italian words in their English, Spanish do Spanish things, black do their black thing in conversations Irish do the river-dance..
Stop being such a jackass.. WTF do you care? Just forgetaboutit... That's what makes the language fun. What are you some kind of proper usage of language police or something?

Relax it's ok...

Law / How much do Polish people actually pay in taxes? [12]

Expensive is a relative word. I'm a Polish immigrant. My family had no money, I had no money. My wife and I graduated from 3 different colleges (she got 2 degrees, obviously the better half), while living on my own, and no one gave me a dime. It's about opportunities and not about taxing the siht out of people.

Love / Are Polish men romantic and caring or... "plain"? [85]

@JustysiaS
You're sort of a "virtual friend" to me, so I'm not thinking of you as a girl or a lady,,, I've just read what you wrote... I know that Sokrates sounds like a total as$ but i think i can explain.

The point I'm trying to make is that your man can be charming and romantic but is he going to take care of you when you need it the most? Can you trust him with your bank account?

Is he responsible, strong, and reliable? Most Polish guys are. See, you have to develop these kinds of skills as a guy in Poland otherwise you won't survive there long.

See Sokrates is probably 12 or he's playing a tough guy but the truth is that People in Poland are well educated, resourceful and with a good understanding of what honorable means.

Most Polish girls/women are the same so you're either young like Socrates or just simply blond for not being able distinguish the difference.

I know the last sentence was mean but i can help it, i was thought to be mean to appear tough. See, girls like guys that are respected by other guys. The easiest way to gain respect among guys is to be mean.

As i said somewhere here before guys are very basic.

Love / Are Polish men romantic and caring or... "plain"? [85]

Guys will do what's necessary to score. I suppose if you prefer the romantic approach I’m sure the more intelligent ones can be good at it.

Law / How much do Polish people actually pay in taxes? [12]

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


I lived here most of my life . In all honesty I should be reading threads on Poland

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


Let's be honest about this. Why some people choose to go to Poland?

I believe it’s because they get a lot of attention there.

You can be a complete douchebag here but when you go to Poland you're instantly interesting, felling special and given a lot of attention. As pathetic as it sounds, they’ve discovered that just being an American makes them special in far away places like Poland.

How do I know this? My aunt and uncle do it, my friends have done it too. Some people get over it but others don’t.

Let’s marinate on this for a second...

There is so much opportunity here, why would anyone insist on living in Poland unless they’re making the big bucks there?

Some people may think America is going down the drain, I say they're just lazy, spoiled and overdramatizing.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]

I don't mind illegal immigrants as long as they work as hard as we do.

Well, i'm fing off now writing on PF, but when i work hard...

oh, and they should have to learn english, just as i did.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


Thank you. That's my point exactly.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


You're correct semi-automatic weapons do not require special permit. You do have to register them though, like all guns,,, and report if stolen. Unless you live somewhere out there in the Rocky Mountains, then you can have a bazooka at home and nobody gives a siht.

I prefer shotguns, way more effective in close range. That’s what I was issued in the Navy when we were boarding ships and checking for illegal stuff while in Persian Gulf.

Note to the PF moderator:
Guns are not the reason why U.S. is in the recession either.


You should then attend your home owner community meetings and demand to change that rule, if it's pissing you off. It's not a tyranny, you know.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


I seriously doubt he's a hot shot businessman. Most likely he’s a semi-successful person, happy to have a full time job, just like us.


I do, people feel that Polish yuppies are responsible for America going down the drain.

Read between the lines Mr. moderator.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


You're overanalyzing me... I get mad because it feels like you're blaming me for all that is wrong with the U.S tooday.

Please, keep to the topic.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


That guy is very rude.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]

This is exactly my point too.

What happened to the economy is a way bigger problem than me or you.

I'm a productive member of this society. I pay taxes, I don’t steal, educate myself about candidates I vote for.

I served in the military, I help out less fortunate people when I can, I keep my house energy efficient, drive a smart car in an f-ing Texas, recycle (even though I don't think it's efficient). What else do you want form me? Move out of my house because you’re jealous?

I’ve met people like you. They’re called Jehovah’s Witness. Go door to door,,, and than try to ram their opinions or ideas down your throat for no apparent reason.

Blah blah blah, F stop you should join them, you would fit in.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


I would definitely agree. Why is Warsaw so expensive bud?

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


Wait, are you saying that paying landscapers to do my lawn caused the recession?

Crap.. I'm sorry everyone.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]




I gotcha, infringement on peoples' rights, not cultivating the land, not eco-friendly and you suck Havok..

Ok, you convinced me, I'm moving out and joining your crusade against anyone who ever decides to live in a gated community.

All I’m saying is that I don't feel like dealing with the landscape around my house or talking to my neighbors about their junk in the front yard when I need to sell my house. I like living there and I pay people to take care of this shi* for me.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


My wife likes to mess with flowers in the front yard sometimes, I guess she finds it entertaining.

You don't have to be fortunate to own land in Texas. It's dirt cheap… I'm no farmer, you know, I have a degree in computer science.

What i suposed to do, grow potatos in my back? buy a goat? Think of it as a life choice.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]

Everyone wants to live in a nice quiet neighborhood but no one feels like maintaining it.
Think of the homeowners association as of a personal trainer helping your fat-lazy-happy American as$ to get in shape.

Some my call this an infringement on personal liberty, others, a pain in the as$, myself I hire landscapers, housemaids, and my wife and I just enjoy our lives. I could not ask for more.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


I keep my house nice and clean because I choose to do it and not because I decided to give up my liberty.lol (are you serious?) I prefer neighbors who do the same, that’s all.

I can sell my house in this neighborhood in less than a month. Try to sell yours ...

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


You've noticed them and other people notice it too. As long their guns are loaded and they can pull the trigger when needed I’m cool with them eating sandwiches in their little booth.


lol

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


So, you're just assuming they're old… For argument's sake let’s say he/she is old, why would you think it would matter? You don't believe that some retired police officer at 65 could do the job?

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


I'm not sure, why do you care?

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]

I didn't say my old aunt works as a neighborhood watchman now did I? I wrote that she likes to say “ shoot first ask questions later.

I felt that this was relevant to the story, meaning my close family shares a similar point of view on things.

USA, Canada / Do Poles feel America is going down the drain? [149]


That's why you live in a gated community, neighborhood watchman will shoot that as$hole for ya while you're out. Everyone knows each other here and they won't let your home get robbed in the middle of the day either, shoot first ask questions later.

Lol My 70 year old aunt told me that. She drives like a maniac too, but that’s another story. (yup, She is Polish, mean old lady…)

There is this old saying... You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word….
