The USA has come accustomed to "Vanity sizing" and a size 8 in women's is really a 10.

...And, as a Taurean, I often grasp whatever I literally love.

Well, it could be worst. We could put you in the "man-hater conspiracy" camp. ...but we know that's not who you are. So enjoy your club and wink at us every now and then. ;)
Fair enough and I see that seanus accepted your appology. Admitting making a mistake speaks volumes about you and I like what I'm hearing.
You're right, there are many pretty stupid comments here about the Polish women or women in general, ...or men, or America, etc., etc. Yeah, basically about everything. When I get ticked off I look for another thread or create my own. lol
I agree with you that many women think this way about men but I disagree with the premise of this selective truth Paulina. You believe what you've been hearing in the past because you want to believe it.
Yes, many men do cheat - that's a fact. However, many women also cheat - that's another fact.
In the past the perception was that men cheated more often because they were "polygamic" however now when women don't have to worry about old taboos such as being a virgin when getting married, or becoming pregnant, or hiding their desires, etc., etc. we're finding that women are just as aggresive in their pursuit of sexuality as men are.
It's possible that men still stray more than women do but unless you and others drop old assumptions about the two sexes our societies will never change.
So again, judge people on their individual actions and not their gender, age, race or whatever divider you pick.
I can see I joined the club of members with weird obsessions - like Crow and his Slavic thing LOL Now I'm the One Who Sees Flirting Everywhere ;)

I see. I thank Thee. ;)
Since you're a linguist I have to vent. I've never liked the Romance, Germanic and Slavic categories, who came up with those terms anyway?
I wish it was more like Roman, Teutonic and Polyniesque languages... ...or something similar. Slavic sounds so subservient to me.
Ok, I feel better now. lol
"Furious" is exactly a loanword of Latin origin via Old Frisian (?) or Old French (?). I couldnt get it properly because in the "Online Etymology Dictionary" it is accounted under the entry "furious":

Furious is a Nordic word? Really? I'd say 'ursinnig' or 'rasande' in Swedish, 'rasende' in Danish and 'rasende over' in Norwegian. Not sure if there's a Nordic connection here?
Here's a Dutch/English "false friend" I found on Wikipedia. LOL
False friends in a Dutch advertisement actually meaning "Mommy, that one, that one, that one ..." "Please."

Hopefully you got to experience the supernovae? lol
Actually, I enjoy astronomy, that's what got me interested in aviation I suppose.
Hmm, maybe besides the male/female category we should also be able to chose other qualifiers: single, engaged, married, semi-married & looking, looking, desperate, confused, flirty but nothing else than flirty, etc., etc. :)
Bzibzioh, you'd be surprised how many women do too. Several years ago I was asked by a friend I'd know for many years if I'd ever shared a woman with another man? I asked what she meant and she said that she along with her husband wouldn't mind if I'd joined their "love circle!" I almost fell off my chair; this was a lady I'd known for years and never, not even once would I've ever imagined her being a swinger. She was pretty too. I told her I appreciated the "offer" but that some things are just too precious to be shared. Have had very hard time having conversations with her ever since (used to live close to each other) but I promised her I'd never share her secret with our mutual friends and I haven't and never will.
PS. I was joking about creating those categories here. Instead I'd prefer: likes Poland a lot, likes Poland somewhat, hates Poland, etc. :)
i used to date an astronomer... damn, he didn't teach me much...

I realize there were no secrets in what she chose to share with us all, it's just the principle of trust and respect I believe in.

Sleasy? I wouldn't know Paulina even though I find his 9/11 conspiracies sleasy. Oooh, that felt goooood... ;)
If you felt the way you did you could've told him that via PM or even on the forum but without revealing his PRIVATE messages to you. Still think he deserves a simple "sorry" from you.
I don't think you violated any rules here. I'm simply talking about respect for others - private or prywatne (I think?) means just that. Whether a compliment, a rebuke, flirtatious comment or sexual innuendoes - a private message is private.
I'm sorry, it was an insider joke. Many blacks here in the US (I find the term African American insulting and refuse to use it) speak with their own dialect which frankly originated in the lack of education due to the abhorrent past of slavery. It's typical to leave out prepositions, to shorten words and occasionally to reverse letters in the spoken language. One of the most common words in the Ebonics (official term for the dialect) vernacular is "aks" - to aks or ax someone a question rather than to ask someone a question.
I knew you misspelled it (I have slight dyslexia so I sympathise ;) but chose to poke fun at you, that's all. LOL.
Note!!! My "poking" at you is totally asexual. :)

Paulina, I'm sorry, I missed this quote earlier.
You're joking right? Not sure if you're being sarcastic but if you're serious then I totally disagree with you.
I'm a Lutheran and I guess pretty conservative in certain ways but in my view fantasies are absolutely normal and a healthy part of human sexuality. If you think getting married means you'll stop fantasizing about having sex with other people you're wrong. It happens and there's nothing wrong with it. I did it sometimes and so did my ex-wife, I know because she'd tell me and I'd tell her and often we'd play those FANTASIES out - just her and I. (dressing up can be fun;)
What's wrong is when fantasies become realities and people start cheating! No excuse for that. So keep your fantasies where they belong, between you and your loved one.
So I didn't feel obliged to show respect to a such person.

History / If i could write European history i would unite Europe under Polish language [67]
If people such as yourself realized that no country is perfect, if your brothers and sisters embrased your nation with pride but also atoned to the horrible crimes against humanity some of your countrymen and women comitted you wouldn't try to engulf yourself into the Polish history but rather would be able to share with the world how beautiful Serbia and its people really are - if they stop hate from controlling their lives.
Just like horses are given eye patches to limit their view and make them see just what's in front of them you and some of your Serbian brothers and sisters use hate toward Kosovars, Albanians, Bosniaks, the EU, US and NATO to control your vision. Free your mind and see how beautiful Serbia really is. Don't rewrite history but rather create a new and a better future which one day will become history to be proud of.
Србија! Србија! Србија!
Oh, and when I spoke of "eye patches" on a horse I thought of one with a lazy eye... LOL
I meant "blinkers" not eye patches.

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]
Paulina - I don't know you and vice versa I guess. I felt the need to connect with people so I signed up for this site. I disagree with Seanus 90% of the time, well maybe 89% of the time so it's funny I find myself defending his actions here. Not that he needs defense but some of this pertains to all men.
First of all, a PRIVATE MESSAGE (PM) is a private message! - between you and Seanus and no one else. Always and with no exceptions. I've gotten some personal requests for advice via the PM system and not in a million years would I've ever thought of sharing it with you or anyone else. Even if the messages were absolutely trivial - PRIVATE means private which in my view espouses show of trust AND respect. You didn't show him any respect by talking about his private messages here. Not sure what gadu-gadu is but if it's similar to skype than the same applies here - it was a private conversation and you violated his trust. If I ever get a message from you (doubt I ever will now after my diatribe here lol) I can assure you that I will NEVER share it with anyone unless you specifically ask me to do so.
Often the reason men and women struggle with their relationships is because they don't show respect for each other. God knows I'm just as guilty here. My ex-wife loved me and adored me and I took her for granted and never had any time for her when she needed me the most. She had some psychological conditions which caused her to be more sensitive than others yet I was too busy for her, my job was more important than anything. Well, that was my way of disrespecting her. I regret it today and decided to learn from it; whether there'll be another lady in my life some day in the future or whether I'll be talking to a friend - I'll always attempt to show my respect even if I'm annoyed or busy or pissed off. Doesn't matter. Respect means accepting differences. In this case you disrespected Seanus by disclosing a private conversation and in my humble opinion he deserves an apology from you. Enough about that.
Now, I've read what was being said between you two over and over again and must say that if all women think the way you do then I'm as clueless as it gets and get even more nervous about talking to someone from the opposite sex. It's very hard for me to relax enough to keep a conversation with a lady, especially one I barely know. What he said is the typical stuff I'd have said just to keep a conversation going and trust me, I have no intention of getting into your pants.
Frankly, it's tiring how often women lump all men into one category and think that each time a man talks to a woman he wants to have sex with her. Sure, we're overflowing with testosterone, something you women do too just in smaller quantities BUT we (and you) also have brains. Well, most of us do.
Yes, it's perfectly possible for a guy to say "...so where do you live? ...do you live with your parents or by yourself? ...yeah, I have my own house..." without wanting to get into her pants.
...and if he does then so what? Don't you ever have a "dirty" thought about a guy you're having a conversation with? Does that make you a bad person? I don't think so.
The beauty of the human brain is that we can differentiate between our thoughts, desires and dreams and our actions. So stop judging us by what youassume we're thinking about and instead judge us based on our actions - not your ex-husband's or ex-boyfriend's or worst yet your girlfriend's ex-boyfriend's actions. ...no, judge us by OUR individual actions because we're all individuals. In my very biased and testosterone influenced view yes, many of us actually ARE good guys.
While I'm at it, are you single? ..so what are you wearing? (no, I'm not flirting, I'm net'ing ;)

News / Goldman Sachs says it will no longer profit from undermining Polish zloty [29]
My point was that the liberal media (which is 90% of all media) always focuses on attacking private companies even if what they do is perfectly legal. Might seem unfair and cold-hearted to make bets on different currencies but perfectly legal.
Yet at the same time when a leftist icon who's financed ACORN, moveon.org, Obama's smear campain against his opponent via the moveon ads and other leftist activities hedges against currencies no one says a thing.
He does exactly what all the financial institutions are doing except in a much larger scale, his bets dwarf Goldman Sachs' and other institution's hedge activities. Heck this guy made a billion dollars!!! overnight by basically forcing the British to devalue the pound in '92, and that was just one of his bets. That IS hurtful to a country's economy yet no one cares.
Watch a private company do the same and Dear Lord the outrage you'll see! Oh the outcry, immidiate calls for financial reform, etc. The grief is just overwhelming...
Hypocrisy at it's best.
...Obama talked about standing up to the Fed and corrupt bankers back in Jan of this year. However, just like with AIPAC, he talks a good game but does nothing..

Well, it's funny how everyone is crying foul when an institution is hedging currency trades - which is legal and basically involves you taking a bet on a currency doing well or not so well.
Yet no one seemed to care when the multi-bilionaire, ultraleftist Obama backer George Soros earned his billions doing just that and doing it for several generations now.

Goldman Sachs, in a rare show of public-minded ethics, has recently announced that it will no try to profit from undermining East/Central European currencies..
Well, it's funny how everyone is crying foul when an institution is hedging currency trades - which is legal and basically involves you taking a bet on a currency doing well or not so well.
Yet no one seemed to care when the multi-bilionaire, ultraleftist Obama backer George Soros earned his billions doing just that and doing it for several generations now.
How nice... ;)

I agree with you here. An anonymous website where people joke about this and that is hardly what I'd call "flirting". Net-ing maybe but definitely not flirting... ;)
However, I was really shocked to read that flirting (which wasn't even flirting) on the net is nearly as bad as flirting physically in a bar, with a view to getting sth. I'm sorry but light talk on a forum with no sexual intentions just doesn't compare with going to a bar specifically to flirt and pull. Not even close!

Yes, it is. I understand why you think his universal health care ordeal is good and I sympathise. However, it is wrong cure for this country. Instead of improving our current system he's revamping it to what I'm used to in Sweden. Nobody should ever have to wait in line for a cancer surgery because the money for the fiscal year in the government run hospital is spent for the year but in 10-15 years it'll happen here too. There's already a thread on this subject so I won't go any further but yes, that's exactly what's happening!
If I was to travel by airplane, bus, train, subway, etc. and only a few months earlier someone had blown up an airplane and that person looked like me I WOULD WANT the government to scrutinize me. Why? Because I have nothing to hide and I want to be safe and to keep my family safe.
...and yes, I'm sure they'll target the many Poles too. Laws are to be followed by each and every nationality.
Wrong plk - I'll never agree with you here. Racism is hating someone because of his/her race. I don't hate any race and neither does our government. However I hate drugs and I hate crime. If a latino person or a Polish person has no drugs on him or hasn't committed any crimes I see no problem with showing some vigilance. That's not racism, that's common sense in a war we're losing by each and every hour because of our pansy, pro-illegal alien politicians who care more about political correctness than about the victims of violent crimes.

Thank you! Finally some common sense. The day we hear about some Swedish meatball mafia blowing up Absolut Vodka plants or a Norwegian Aryan Gang targeting the American salmon producers I say profile every Scandinavian looking person!
For now lets focus on following our current law - if you have a green card, keep it on you just like the law tells you to do. If you're near our border and look like the 99% of people who're smuggling drugs into our country - get used to us being suspicious toward you. The day your brother-ens stop poisoning our nation with drugs and stop kidnapping, raping and murdering our citizens we will stop viewing you with suspicion. Enough of this reverse-racist La Raza political correctness crap.

Maybe, I don't know, never gone that route and don't plan on it.
Oh boy, I'm just gonna stir things up now. lol
Well, as you pointed out the theory we all have heard so many times is that males are polygamic by nature to increase the likelyhood of fathering their offspring.
It's been a few years now but in one of our biology classes when human procreation was being discussed several theories were brought up on male versus female traits and behaviors. They were just theories but they all are theories - including the one you brought up. Anyways, one of the things our teacher, who was also a researcher talked about was how males are "quick to the point" while females are slow to warm up but once they do they can go on and on for ever and many are even multi-orgasmic. You know the rocket engine versus the diesel engine theory. In her view that behavior didn't support the "male spreading his seed" theory.
She said that nature does things for a reason and one theory was that females stay aroused for a much longer period because they were meant to mate with several males in order to increase the likelyhood of getting pregnant.
Maybe she was looking for an official excuse to fool around :) I don't know but the "theory" she brought up was as logical as the one you brought up.
She was a little bit of a femi-nazi so maybe her views were slightly skewed because of it BUT I don't think there's a simple explanation to it all.
PS. The link in pgtx's post # 509 seems to support the theory we were told about.
Maybe. But I suspect that men still cheat more ;)
At least in those more traditional societies.

Well, then it must be a quite original theory :) What does it say?
Btw, it's not "my" theory. It's a scientific/psychological/behavioral theory or something. Heard about it many times.

Really? I'd imagine both sexes cheat a lot but I've heard an exactly opposite theory to yours, and this was while taking biology a while back in Sweden.
This is what I meant. Men are poligamic by nature. Women - monogamic.
Those are basic instincts. Some can fight it, some can't.

Well, green card works the same way in other countries. In Sweden we call it PUT certificate (Permanent Uppehållstillstånd) or Permanent Residency Permit but break any major laws and you get kicked out. That's why the renewal process exists so they can look into your past 10 years and see if you deserve to stay. In my view a permanent resident should become a citizen asap - to fully participate in a society one must be able to vote!
I find it ironic the new Arizona law is so controversial - if you see the highlighted area below legal aliens were ALWAYS required to carry their legal permit (same in Sweden). La Raza and other latino racist organizations think the law shouldn't have to apply to them - they want preferencial treatment. My solution is expell all illegals and when needed invite legal aliens from true allies of the US, from countries whose soldiers spillt their blood fighting right next to our soldiers. Poland would rank very high on that list.
A Permanent Resident Card, commonly known as a Green Card, is evidence of your status as a lawful permanent resident with a right to live and work permanently in the United States. It also is evidence of your registration in accordance with United States immigration laws. The Permanent Resident Card is also called INS Form I-551.
WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?
Section 264 of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that, "Every alien in the United States shall be issued a certificate of alien registration or an alien registration receipt card in such form and manner and at such time as shall be prescribed under regulations." It also states, "Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him. Any alien who fails to comply with [these] provisions shall be guilty of a misdemeanor."
never.. well, that could probably be argued as one has to reapply and INS (or Homeland Security now) could deny it, if they felt like it.. it's not like a DL where you just pay a fee and get another copy...

...or the equivalent.
Correct, however an actual green card (or is it pink card :) never expires [providing you follow the INS guidelines]. It's simply the document that expires just like your driver's license or your passport.
Not so with the conditional green card. Unless you've had your interview and passed it your conditional green card will expire (unless extended due to the INS's inefficiencies, etc.). So that's what I meant.
Passport is for entering back into the US. Canadians simply want to know who you are and to make sure you'll be able to get back into the US.
we don't have such document in PL..

this is a bit puzzling to me as you can just show them your green card when entering Canada and that is all you need.. however, these days, they may ask you for the passport.. not sure.. last time i crossed the border was before the passport requirement and i just used my DL both ways.

I believe you even though your screen name says otherwise... LOL Just kidding.
Several years ago I read about this Swedish survey (was raised in SWE) which was contradictory to what I'd always believed. I tried to google the survey but couldn't find it. It wasn't so much about cheating per se even though some conclusions could be made. In a nutshell they interviewed some 10,000 adults about their sex habits. I wanna say they divided them into 5 year groups: 15-20, 21-25, 26-30, etc. They started with 15 because that's the legal nookie age in Sweden ;)
Anyways, to my great surprise younger women <30 had much more sex and with more partners than younger guys did. (yeah, I was definitely a late-bloomer lol). Then it sort of evened out and after 35 or maybe 40 men had more sex and more partners than women did.
I was surprised because as a guy I always heard we were the horndogs but maybe the ladies are more secretive about their exploits? Either way, as a younger guy I was too shy around the ladies so I'm hoping the survey was right on the money about the later years. Well, maybe not so much about the many partners but the frequency would be nice... My Casanova days are still ahead of me! lol
...and before anyone accuses the Swedish women of being "loose" - you can find easy women AND men within each and every nationality so please let go of that argument.
I'll keep looking for the survey, maybe other Swedish speakers here heard of it? I believe it was a Chalmers survey...
Were you just joking? I've never cheated on anyone before and I had many opportunities. Not all women cheat.

I travel a lot and basically you need a passport anywhere you go nowadays. In the past we were spoiled here in the US and could travel to Canada, Mexico, etc. using our Driver's license and nothing else. 9/11 changed all that. If you have a Polish passport (newer version with the RFID chip - biometric) you shouldn't have any trouble entering Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean Islands. If you have an older passport check with respective embassy - you might also need a birth certificate, etc.
If you have a visa in your passport then that's what you'll need to get back into the US. If you have a regular or a conditional green card then that's what you'll need to get back in (AND your passport of course).
Bon voyage. :)
Note - Conditional green card is marriage based and issued before the actual interview of the spouses - usually it's a ~2 years permit - for travel purposes it works the same way but it has an expiration date. In the past while a person applied for a permanent residency through marriage you were not allowed to leave the country until the interview. Family emergencies, etc. were exluded but you had to notify the INS. Not sure what it's like today.
Amazing the things you learn when dating an immigration attorney... She's long gone but I still remember the many things she taught me... she was a great teacher. LOL
Also - based on reply #22 I guess you might need a visa too.
"...Poland (holders of non-biometric passports only)..."
Just renew your Polish passport to get the biometric version and you should be fine. If you live in the US I'd imagine you should be able to renew at the Polish Consulate.
