Love / How common or culturally accepted is divorce in Poland? [43]

So many religions to choose from, so many gods. And still a marriage that is dead should still be buried,

There is only one God jon, there are a lot of gods however and your OPINION of "should be buried is merely that, an opinion.

Love / How common or culturally accepted is divorce in Poland? [43]

Not if you are a Christian and get married in the Church jon.

Very much yes. Millions of people who were married in mosques, churches, whatever, get divorced.

Very much NO jon as I have never met a Christian that got married in a Mosque and NO if you are a Christian you don't have the option to consider another sort of philosophy of legalism that contradicts the Bible.

Those millions of divorcees are free to consider any sort of philosophy they like, or not.

Millions of unsaved people consider legalism a philosophy that trumps Gods words.
You don't get it because you don't want to get it.
Guess who wins in the end.

why not take advantage of this at my last chance in life before I get old or start looking old?

Judging by the photos you posted here you look like someone in their late 30s or early 40s who has had too much booze or drugs.

Sounds to me like you are already there Mate, game over.

Pedal your propaganda elsewhere.

In theological terms, the death in 'till death us do part' can also mean the death of the marriage.

Sources please or did you mean legalism terms.

Love / The age of consent in Poland is only 15 [147]

He's totally sick.

Do ya think, a 33 year old mama's boy, still living at home with Mom, no job, Mom still supporting and enabling him and him still fantasizing about little girls that are not even fully developed yet !

They call that a very dysfunctional family from the little crap town where I come from.

The punishments meted out here are as arbitrarily given as at the Colosseum.

I have to agree, go look at post #56 in Random Chat that has been reported twice without any relief.

but you want to know if he's a cop on a sting operation.

Here we go again......"things he wished you would have said to make his argument better, but which isn't close to anything you actually said,"

Four questions for you Mate,

trust me dumbfuk

Did dumbfuk hit your little nut nerve that embarrassed you to the point you evaded answering his questions ?

Love / The age of consent in Poland is only 15 [147]

and all of a sudden would say youre not getting any

Let me explain it to you Mate:
See once a guy reaches 25 years old they become invisible to teenage girls.
Insecure guys over 25 that are still hitting on teenage girls are called "Creepers" by these young girls.
You now are forced to move up to the 20-30 year old girls which are smart about loser Creepers so that will limit you too.

Any at that age who are the 'race horse type' that you are looking for are going to cost you some serious squid for their efforts.

Time for a reality check and that is that you are a "has been" Creeper for teenage girls.
And when Creepers get desperate to fulfill their sick desires they often force the issue which is called rape.
Sexual predators are then sent to prison and you know what that is like.
If you were back in the U.S.of A. and a cyber cop picked up on your vile posts he/she most likely would track you down, set you up with a 14 year old girl who looked like she was 18 and when you took the bait arrest you for statutory rape just to get the threat that you pose off the streets.

Four questions for you Mate,
1. Are you still living with your mother ?
2. Have you obtained full time job yet ?
3. Have you thought of getting some professional psychiatric help ?
4. Is part of your probation to work with law enforcement as a all I can smell is an undercover cop fishing to see if he/she can get any sexual predators to take your bait.

Love / How common or culturally accepted is divorce in Poland? [43]

there are provisions in the law which give certain rights to cohabiting couples.

You must be referring to the 'legalism' law and not the law that will count for eternity.
When you get married in the church you take a vow to God Almighty that you will honor and cherish that vow until "death do you part".

Of course the non believers take that same vow, to whom I have no idea, which renders it meaningless so they can justify cohabitating.

Love / THE POLISH DISEASE, wanna marry a Polish girl ? read on... [197]

She needs some life lessons I think which she will have with time.

Fore sure.
Women have about four major stages of growth once they reach the dating age.
Obviously her Polish parents have instilled their Polish values deeply in her.
Not her fault as that is all she knows at this point in her life.
Eventually she will move to the next stage of independence and start doing what she wants to do instead what she is suppose to do in her parents eyes.

Sound to me like she is still in the first stage of finding herself which is not a bad thing.
Have patience and watch her grow into a fine partner.

Food / Butternut Squash in Poland [13]

Jonni, have you seen Bok Choy anywhere?

Something I've never used.

Take Bok Choy and chop it up with cabbage to a 50/50 portion and boil it down.
Add anything you want from salt fish to corned beef with a very small portion of tomato and onions and put over rice.

anyone know where to buy butternut squash in Warsaw?

Has to be some place this time of year.
We have a huge field of them here in the neighborhood right now where there has to be 25,000 of them for the free taking.
I take as many as I can put in the oven at one time and bake them.
Cut them in half, add some butter and brown sugar and bake until soft.
Scrape the squash out and put in containers to freeze for future use in the off season.
If you pick them before they get frost on them you can store them all winter in a cool dry place like a root cellar.

I like free.

News / US Investor seeks 700 million dollars in damages from Poland [45]

That's all irrelevant.

I beg to differ as they even use ocean currents to generate electricity.
Where is the height of the current there that the water decends ?

Gears do not create energy.

Nope, they convert a slow moving wheel into a fast moving wheel which moves the magnets that create energy.

You're thinking of gears as some sort of magical solution.

Actually I am just conveying what I have read about how water turbines work to create energy.
And you can run a turbine with slow moving water.
What ever happened to the nuclear plant that Poland built ?

News / US Investor seeks 700 million dollars in damages from Poland [45]

I do know generators run more efficiently at higher RPM, so this is why turbines will spin up higher, but they can also run gearboxes to get the achieved rpm if the type of power plant runs a colder steam.

The gearboxes are what make a turbine efficient.
They spin the magnets that create the electricity.
Underwater turbine advantages are that water is more dense than air, which means that an underwater turbine can reach the necessary rotating speeds for electrical generation from very slow moving water.

A wind turbine needs much higher wind speeds to operate efficiently than the water current speed needed to operate an underwater turbine.
One megawatt is enough to run a thousand homes in the U.S.A.
And then there is nuclear. :-)

when the water falls a distance.

You don't need a waterfalls.
All you need is a swift current in a river to turn the turbines.
A simple example is it doesn't take much current from a river to turn a big gear which turns a smaller gear which turns a smaller gear until the smallest gear is spinning faster then lightening generating electricity.

News / US Investor seeks 700 million dollars in damages from Poland [45]

Unfortunately, there are very few streams in those mountains that can be harnessed for hydroelectric power,

Thank you Dominic for the enlightenment in an educational non boasting manner.
I am so use to being told on this forum that, "you don't live here, you never have been here nor will you ever come here so quit asking stupid questions to us brilliant ex-pats who live here."

I admit that I am no expert on turbines for electricity but do know that they are the cheapest source of electricity which was my original point.

I also admit that I do not know if the three main rivers in Poland have enough current to operate an efficient turbine/turbines.
I do know generators run more efficiently at higher RPM, so this is why turbines will spin up higher, but they can also run gearboxes to get the achieved rpm if the type of powerplant runs a colder steam.

Thank you again for teaching me a little bit more about Poland as that is what this forum is suppose to be all about. ;-)

The cheapest energy concerning a viable resource would be hydro electricity.
By using a water wheel or turbines it is one of the most efficient ways, cheapest at that.

They're dealing with cwaniaczki afterall...

I can't read Polish but "cwaniaczki" must mean liars and cheats.

with little experience and knowledge of operating in the Polish market

Are you saying that is what the Polish market is comprised of is liars and cheats with the Polish government not holding them accountable or is the Polish government liars and cheats also ?

News / US Investor seeks 700 million dollars in damages from Poland [45]

Invenergy has invested $595million in 11 operating wind farms in Poland since 2005.
Invenergy CEO Michael Polsky said: "We made a long-term investment in Poland with confidence that a legal framework existed to protect our investments from this type of behaviour.

"This case will test the assumptions of our original investment decision and signal to the market whether Poland is a country where investors can rely on the sanctity of contracts."

Why would Poland shoot themselves in the foot if they want foreign investors to continue to invest in Poland to help improve their country ?

News / Polish-German Reconcilliation Seminar [491]

Best they start at the local level first.
Germany owes Poland huge compensation for the wild Polish bison that Germany shot for no real reason besides it crossed the border into Germany.
A local official ordered hunters to kill the rare animal last month after it crossed over from Poland. "Animals don't know country borders," a conservationist said.

I take it the "EU" only counts for people and not the wild animals.
Do the trigger happy Germs kill the wild birds that fly across the river from Poland too ?
Idiots, true idiots.
May I suggest that the Germs call the Polish officials with a courtesy call next time to come get their property BEFORE they kill it.

Just one more reason Poland needs to build a border wall with Germany to keep Poland's animals in and the Germans animals out.

Food / Mushroom picking (and eating:) in Poland [36]

Just got back from hunting for Zielonki.

Lucky you didn't get blown up.
An invasion of Polish people picking up mushrooms ruined the teachings of an American tank unit near the western city of Jagan.
US combat machines yesterday had to shoot in that area.
The heavy rains caused an abundant mushroom crop, and many residents of the area set out to collect them.
The people were not concerned by the warning posters in Polish and English, and the command was forced to cancel the maneuvers.
Hell if I were in command I would have popped off a couple of 105mm in the area needed to practice and watched the mushrooms pickers change their pants.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]

Another woman has come forward accusing Oscar winning director Roman Polanski of sexually assaulting her as a teenager.
This makes number #4.
Swiss authorities said Wednesday that a German woman has filed a complaint alleging Polanski sexually assaulted her 45 years ago in a Swiss resort town while she was in her mid - teens.

He gave her champagne and qualuudes and they end up in the hot tub naked where he captured her maiden.
Renate Langer, 61, filed the complaint last week in a police station in the northern city of St. Gallen.
She said Polanski had raped her at his house in Gstaad, a well known Alpine resort town, in February 1972, according to police and the regional state prosecutor's office.

USA, Canada / Polish or American Education? [180]

with no in-depth assessment and exam in individual subjects,

Not true Atch as many high schools allow students to take a college classes if they excel in a certain subject.
By the time they enter college they have already completed their first year in a subject or two.

you had to cram for an exam in grammar and vocab. That shouldn't be the case

I will repeat it again, "A teaching degree is one of the easiest degree's that there is to obtain" so many of the not so sharp college students choose such a degree just so they can graduate from a college with a diploma of some kind.

A teaching degree is not much more then a liberal arts degree if you were to check out the required curriculums.
And the classes for a liberal arts degree are basically very general like advanced reading, art, creative writing, basic arithmetic and the soft classes.
It requires no advanced chemistry, no algebra, no trigonometry, only basic physical sciences compared to a bachelors of science degree.
Add a teaching degree with no common sense and what do we have teaching our children today........know it all babysitters that are there to pick up their paycheck so do you really expect a student to be well spoken or find Poland on a map.

In the USA third level students basically spend the first two years of an undergraduate degree completing their general education and trying to figure out what they might be able to 'major' in for the remainder of the degree.

Exactly and when they are at a dead end after their first two years and are forced to declare a degree they choose an education degree because not only is it the easiest to obtain but they don't want to graduate from college with a useless liberal arts degree which is embarrassing.

Atch, would you want any of the self proclaimed teachers on this forum teaching your children ?
Besides you and Roz I know I certainly would not.
