Love / Are all Polish men Psychos? [111]
He might be telling the truth he might be not. My friend was lieing to his girlfriend in the same way because he really had "life problems" - his dad was addicted to benzodiazepines. Another friend of mine was seeing other girls while being in a stable relationship. You never know. It may be worth being straightforward and asking.
He says he has 'problems in his life'

Language / Translation request: words like the / and / or / left / right / this, etc... [19]
I'm afraid most of these word would need something more than just a simple translation. I'm pretty lazy so I'm just gonna translate those straightforward ones : p
left = lewo
right = prawo
up = góra
down = dół
in = w
next to = obok
between = między / pomiędzy
among = między : p
all = wszystko / wszyscy
more = więcej
less = mniej
Most of these words mean something different when they are in a different context..

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]
I think Polish girls are no different from other girls around the world. Although we are usually behind Western Europe both males and females are quickly catching up with every novelty, and are becoming more open to new sensations.
Can you stop feeding the troll please.

Life / Do expats living in Poland speak Polish? [233]
I don't think this thread was intended to create a flame war about which language is better. You can't compare Polish language spoken in Poland to English which is used in many big countries like US or UK. Huge number of users causes English language to change and grow rapidly and evolve, hence I can't see any sense in even trying to compare these two.
I also think that relaying on the translation of some random Pole isn't the best thing, beside when I translate something for my friends I always use the most basic forms which are simple for them to decode.
Now when everything is clear, you guys can go back to the original topic. I really admire people who are not Polish and mastedered at least basics of our language. Always happy to help those struggling with it..
Not the majority view?

History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]
Can't see blood on anyone's hands because of this, it's irrelevant to the topic. You haven't given any links or sources - therefore it's drivel.
As for all the talk about minorities, Ukrainians lead by OUN-B, commited a genocide on Polish minorities in Wolyn in 1943 just to win any upcoming elections. There's still a lot of hatred in both polish and ukrainian people living near ukrainian-polish border.
BB I really don't understand where do you find the nerve to state your cheeky comments excusing prussian annexation and telling us how it wasn't as bad "because", which German deeds will you start to justify next?
And these days Poles get their own back by not allowing foreigners to even own the land of their choice, let alone build a house on it!

Food / PIZZA & KETCHUP served only in Poland? [159]
They do that in some pizzeries, but from what I heards from my friends nobody really likes it. People generally find those pizzerias too lazy to come up with their own recipe. Best pizzerias have their own sauces.
On the other hand most Poles put Ketchup on many other things like toasts or rice...
pizzerias that is common

Work / I want to move to Poland (but of course we need to find a good job) [117]
I can tell you that the whole thing about higher education comes from times just after communism, during the communism period in poland nobody was actualy trying to get higher education. Most people were finishing technical collage courses or work courses. When communism ended and state companies were deregulated and new private companies emerged - in that time workers with a university education were being promoted over people who stopped their education without going to uni. I heard plenty of such life stories from my parents, older people who were never promoted just because they didn't have the paper, seeing youngsters who they worked with overtaking them.
I think that's why there's such notion of getting even the crappiest masters degree...
Oh and I forgot, another reason for going to a uni was running away from the army - at least just until lately.

Sticky means that it's always on top of the forum board. In most forums there's a special "sticky" section with topics that regard certain reappearing subjects, they usually include some kind of a tutorial, and advices, hence it's a shame to loose them over time.
Not to dash away from the main topic, I'll have to say I was really fond of my teachers teaching methods in Gliwice, in the British Council English school, he's name was Jamie, he was a scottish expat and he was really creative, every lesson included some kind of a game, story telling all mingled with standard teaching lessons ( every person has to do his amount of formal and informal writing stuff ), a really great and interesting formula

I was attending few "Juwenalias" in Gliwice, organized by Silesian University of technology, they are called "igry" here. I have to say that for most students it's just an occasion for heavy over the top drinking ( well actually every event is ; ) ), only thing I remember are huge hangovers, and destroyed rooms in dorms as an afterparty.. nice time, but with years I feel less and less attracted to it, performing bands are more and more generic..

There was also a huge commotion about taking iodine these days.
