News / GERMANS WANT TO GERMANIZE KOPERNIK (COPERNICUS)! OUTRAGE! [1016]

Impossible to trace at this point? You think it will mysteriously appear in an archive somewhere?

Regional identification was strong then, Sok. What if he had called himself a Silesian? ;) ;) Even now, some are pushing for regional autonomy.

Law / Proposal to make Education subject to VAT [8]

They should slap VAT on but you'd quickly find language schools finding excuses to drive the rates for their teachers down.

Delph, nice idea but it just doesn't happen. They have all manner of investigatory bodies who do diddly squat. PiP, the Kuratorium and other bodies have been charged with checking work practices and ensuing compliance but they have been allowing schools to cheat in more ways than one.

Put VAT on as a surefire measure!

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

He has a funny accent but speaks English pretty well. What other pronunciation problems do you have?

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

Yes, there is a clear difference for native speakers, Gaa. Polish is pronounced like Edgar Allan POE, with lish. PAW lish is polish. Surely you can hear the difference, no?

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

I can't help bloodlines, RN. Haven't you noticed that connection?

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

I'm 75% Scottish and 25% Irish. Opposites attract for sure.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

I guess Polish people, through their perceived higher education level, think Americans to be dumb and below them. However, the dumb Polak jokes make you wonder. Also, Americans have the best universities in the world statistically.

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

But you are from outer space, Gumi, we all know that ;) ;)

You are Polish if....you say Polish like you say polish.

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

Addressing pgtx's examples:

Inventing relatives?

Soccer? Poland is in Europe so football

Wódka ;) ;) Vodka is nice :)

Poles don't feel the need to add 's' to standard English plurals either so they are consistent. What on earth is with that anyway? Eh, there's an 's' there and it's voiced. In the absence of a clear explanation, that's just moronic!

Or generally don't pluralise, period!!

In other words, music for morons!

Yeah, they can spot alright. Usually the dour-faced person smoking by themself.

Why would they speak English? It's only the world's main trade language ;) ;) They stick to Russian.

The Japanese are more strict about taking their shoes off.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

It's very similar to the situation between the UK and Poland. You have to take the bad with the good though.

Life / How Polish are you? [74]

Oh, of that I have no doubt, Greg ;) ;) ;)

Life / How Polish are you? [74]

Sorry to burst your bubble, mi amigo Torqy. 85% is needed for Polishness, have a look at the after-test bumff.

My wife said the same, she is not a Catholic so she is never gonna get over 50% in a badly-weighted test such as that.

Life / How Polish are you? [74]

I scored 5% and am quite proud of that. My Polish wife scored only 45%.

Life / British sky satellite TV in Poland [87]

I also know how to circumvent loopholes in the wording ;) ;)

I don't know about the finer points of that Directive but I know that ukpolska has a very good setup in the making and I wish him all the best with it! He has given me the lowdown on how it works and I'm impressed with the expansion of channels. He can be proud.

News / Mass immigration to Poland - article and response [479]

Very good comment, Seanny. We, as the West, have chosen them as our enemies. We have been tormenting and taunting them for many years and there has been payback time for us.

Also, we made the rules ourselves as to travel allowances. Refusing Muslim people entry because they are potential terrorists (very low probability ones, I mean) is absurd. The problem is, it's guilty by association and it's almost always the innocent people on the ground that suffer, those people who can be indifferent or even friendly towards Muslims.

Poland really doesn't need such a cafuffle though. Bosnia was ravaged by war and the EU really made a huge mess there. We don't need a repeat of that here.

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]

Gotcha, TheOther.

Polish stereotypes of those from the Baltic states?

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]

Being called a shower is not the end of the world ;) ;)

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

Since when has indifference been hatred?

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]

The Germans are seen as stiff and mechanical but let's put that to one side and feel the loss of the German national side in losing their first-choice keeper in an apparent suicide.

Enke, probably depressed after losing his daughter back in 2006, threw himself under a train and sustained fatal injuries.

Enke RIP, I hope his wife can move on!

Beer swilling anal lovers!

Love / How to please Polish women? [216]

Let's say it's mutual pleasing. There's nothing quite like taking the edge off a day ;)

Love / How to please Polish women? [216]

A nice doggystyle session seems to do the trick ;) ;)

Anybody other than southern fans?

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

Timotei is right above. There are many entrepreneurs in Europe but we just don't do it like America does.

Love / How to please Polish women? [216]

You have to tickle her fan*y. Guess the covered letter!!

A good boning works ;)

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

They can hate all they want, they'll never be as cool as many Americans!! America defined cool!! Most Europeans don't have a clue what it means to be cool. In their hearts, most Europeans know that America is streets ahead on this one.

Just look at rock bands, America produced most of the hip ones.

Drowning by Crazy Town. Just one of thousands of happening American songs

What, Poles don't appreciate Americans for trying to make ends meet? I've met some wacky Americans on my travels but at least they have stories to tell and some originality.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Obviously ;) ;) Why of course ;)

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Yes, I'm flying the flag for our kind :) I'm interested to know if my future kid will be ginger too.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Gingers are not anti-Christ, LOL. This forum cracks me up at times.

USA, Canada / American Polonia. Wisconsin - the most Polish state? [112]

Illinois should surely claim that accolade.
