USA, Canada / Can you BE Polish without SPEAKING Polish in the US? [256]

I don't mind people thinking and believing in who they are

Well good then cousin Notty, as I will always be Polish no matter what others may think.
You think what you want to and I will think what I want to.
Długo żyć w Polsce

USA, Canada / Can you BE Polish without SPEAKING Polish in the US? [256]

The only ethnic Americans are Indians

No one is debating that.
What we are debating is that in Poland you don't consider me being Polish and I am telling you that here in America that I am considered Polish.

And that is just how it works in America.
Btw. Just think Notty, you could be a shirttail relative of mine. :-)

USA, Canada / Can you BE Polish without SPEAKING Polish in the US? [256]

See Notty............ WE don't see it that way here in the U.S.A.
Those are your rules, not ours.
I really do hate to throw ants on your almighty parade but if our fathers had Polish parents then WE consider ourselves Polish !
That's how it works in America even if you disagree there in Poland.
You have your homemade rules in Poland and WE have our homemade rules here in America.
And I will tell you that I am much more Polish then any of the British ex-pats living in Poland ever thought of being.
Now if you want to continue with your nonsense, call my Polish grandmother and tell her that her grandson is not Polish.
She will straighten you out real quick. lol

News / Officials in Poland are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump [720]

But I think he's losing support in these areas by repealing Obamacare without a solid replacement.

No worse then Nancy Polosi when she stated that obama Care had to be passed first so we would know what was in it. lol

I agree with you, however, they want to shove it through before summer recess.
I think they should hold off until obama Care implodes on it's own (and it is almost there) and then what.

Back on topic however.
Hopefully Trumps visit to Poland first will show the rest of NATO who is respected most for paying their fair share into NATO.
President Trump is requesting a full bilateral meeting with Putin at the G-20 summit in Germany.
Trump wants an event that includes the media and time for work sessions
While some administration officials have pressed for a quick "pull-aside" meeting at the Group of 20 summit or lower officials talking privately.
Wouldn't it be most delightful if Duda & Trump (in front of the world press) told Putin it's time to return Poland's property.

Most likely immigration and the climate change hoax will be at the top of the list of things being disgusted.

News / Officials in Poland are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump [720]

Sounds like your only source of information comes from the Bias Liberal Dive By Media.
You are what we call a low information voter here in America.

Well he has not been invited to any other capitals

So you are saying that Berlin, London and Paris are not capitals ?
(Strike one)

his well done steak in ketchup

He likes his steak medium rare with Montreal steak seasoning only
(Strike two)

the hillbillies who voted for him.

Hillbillies tend to vote Democrat 'Crooked Hillary" and the upper crust tend to vote Republican 'Trump' in America.
(Strike three)
Hope all the young Polish people aren't as brainwashed as you are by the Progressive Left Media to come to such bias conclusions.

News / Officials in Poland are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump [720]

Warsaw, Poland (AP) -- Polish officials are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump, with Poland's defense minister calling it a "huge success" for the government and another official celebrating the unexpectedness of a U.S. president stopping in Warsaw before Paris, London or Berlin."

You can bet President Trump will find Poland a much more receptive country then Germany when meeting with Merkel. Erg !
That climate change refusal deal kind of upset the rest of the E.U.
Poland and Trump have many things in common including opposition to Muslim immigration, support for burning coal and the skepticism of the eroding EU.
Hillary Clinton would have been on the opposite side of the fence on those issues.
Poland like the U.S.A are calling for restoring the Greatness to their Countries by their conservative leaders.
I am sure that Poland would like to hear Trump criticize Putin for the downing of Jaroslaw Kaczynski plane which would earn him praise by Poland.

Krzysztof Szczerski, chief of staff to President Andrzej Duda, said Polish officials had worked "many months" to persuade Trump to visit.
"At first ... it seemed impossible that we would be able to convince the U.S. president that he should visit Poland before the biggest European countries," Szczerski told the wPolityce web portal Sunday.

Hopefully Poland's citizens will give Trump a warm welcome.

Study / Young Nigerian Sets Record in Polish University [75]

what made you do a complete 180 degree turn

Do you expect a logical answer to that ?
Perhaps psychosis.
Nobody disagrees that this Black kid from Nigeria did so well.
Next semester it will be a Polish kid that takes top honors.

He was better than all the other Polish students.

No, he is not better then ALL other Polish students.
Perhaps you should have said, "he bettered the Polish students in his class."
Is this even worthwhile debating ?

Study / Young Nigerian Sets Record in Polish University [75]

No one is jealous of his achievements, it's the jealous sickening way that you degrade Polish students to promote a foreigner.
The way I look at it is that Poland must have some non-racist instructors to give this kid such a tremendous education.
Give praise where praise is due and praise the Polish instructors for being so unbiased.
You however want to belittle and degrade the Polish students by repeating, "how much better the Nigerian is compared to the Polish students."
You are a big time racist delph.
Go back and look at the threads that you have started lately, they ALL are merely to instigate unnecessary drama here.

Polonia / Half-Polish Terrorist attack on the Champs-Elysses [55]

It's clear that the hostile attitude towards the West in Poland has resulted in this attack.

This sentence doesn't make sense.

Of course it doesn't, this thread was started solely to get a rise out of the Polish members here.

have held a long established position amongst themselves that anyone born and/or living outside of Poland cannot claim to be Polish.

Typical jealous British ex-pats that want all the glory and prestige of living in Poland and pretending to be Polish themselves.

Life / Inquiry about prescribed medicines in Poland - Xanax, benzodiazepines [30]

would say that a good diet, natural vitamins and life choices - are the answer.

It is a start to get a person who is addicted to meds for recreational use off them.
Valium and Zanax are merely band aids to the problem.
Try getting some exercise and wean yourself off the "feel good meds" that only prolong the symptoms.

who have never suffered from anxiety and depression would say that

I beg to differ with you.

Life / Inquiry about prescribed medicines in Poland - Xanax, benzodiazepines [30]

How bad is your habit?

Exactly.......a cop out easy fix habit as most anxiety attacks subside by themselves in a short period of time.
Practice some self control.
These drugs are just and excuse to walk around in la la land.
Trying getting some serious physical exercise every day, cut out the marijuana and high energy drinks including soda and get on a regular sleep schedule.

Marijuana use creates EXTREME anxiety in many people as does cocaine in everyone.
A good diet is very important.
Turn the t.v. and computer off and take your dog for an hour walk every day.
Before you know it your drug dependence will be gone and you will be able to function like a normal human being.
Your Doctor is not always your best friend as he/she gets a percentage of every prescription they write.
Natural vitamins like valium/valria root or some good camel mile tea is most relaxing once you detoxify yourself from the prescription drugs.
To use these drugs recreationally leads to dependence.
Life is choices, good choices good things happen, bad choices bad things happen.
Drug abuse is a bad choice.

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

I dont think anyone is going to be really affected. The govt needs the workers.

Exactly Roz, once Britain leaves the E.U. I highly doubt that they are going to force all the Polish workers to leave.

i do NOT sound like Delph,

That was a low blow and I do apologize.

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

The United States and Poland enjoy a very close bilateral relationship.
This has caused strategic and commercial cooperation.
U.S. companies are active in Poland and have invested heavily since the late 1980s back when Poland began its transition from communism to democracy and a market driven economy.

Abundant opportunities remain for U.S. firms in Poland to keep Poland's citizens at home working.
Poles continue to demonstrate a strong affinity for the United States and its products.
Once the Brexit door slams shut another door will open for Poland.
And when it does Britain is going to have to allow more Muslim immigrants in to maintain a work force.
Britain needs Poland but Poland does not need Britain.

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

...that's why poland leans to usa as an ally because no one has any faith in the countries of europe to come to aid.

Thank you Marsupial................

Did ya see the NEWS blurb that Angela Merkel (Germany) and Macron ( the new 'Head' of the foppish FRENCH (fries) are telling TRUMP to drop dead due to his REJECTION of the Paris Climate Deal.... (where Americans pay billions of Dollars to India, CHINA, etc., to help those HUGE POLLUTERS !

Another stupid obama "B.J" that makes the LEFT feel better.
How utterly CLASSIC !
TWICE in the last CENTURY the U.S.A. LITERALLY spent HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of Dollars.... (NOT, to mention the sacrifices in BLOOD and dismemberment/Death) by the CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY to free the E.U. from GERMAN TYRANNY. TWICE ! amazing....

And now for the E.U. to tell Trump to drop dead as London and Paris are crumbling you really wonder WHY Poland leans to the U.S.A. ?

I read yesterday that it is to be believed that there are something like 32,000 (that's THOUSAND !) jihadist militant Muslims in GREAT BRITIAN !
(SAY GOODNIGHT IRENE !)
And who will they look to when THEY have Sharia running down their legs ???

Study / British Council CELTA in Krakow, how would you rate it? [60]

It's quite possible

And it's quite possible "student1" was simply responding to this thread without insulting anyone such as you just did with such rude insinuations.

I found student1's post interesting as I have heard the same from other students in Poland so possibly it is not made up but jon will know and be the authority on this. lol

people from Northern Ireland are going to help out

That was just on the news here in the USA and went into a surprisingly amount of detail about it along with how the pound is plunging.

The Zloty has fallen also.
Britain is slowly crumbling as I have posted here many times.
Sharia law next ?

Work / Warsaw Poland - stock market investment? [8]

entrusted savings to a broker.

I have found that if you don't have at least a million invested with a broker they could give a crap about your portfolio.

They make their money on commissions so a small investor is not worth their time as they only have so much time in a day to take care of so many accounts.

The big boys will get their attention/time as a priority and they may check someone with a couple hundred thousand twice a year and give them a little lip service and a smile.

Who cares more about your money than anyone else ? You do so that is why I do my own investing/trading now.
Zacks free online membership/information is most informative but usually is a week/month late on the real money to be made.
It is a good guide to what is out there though and has helped me invest.
If someone started something like a Zacks for the WSE it may be quite profitable for them.
I have not the knowledge or time to even think about it but a couple of young bucks like you and Z just might.

Work / Warsaw Poland - stock market investment? [8]

Most interesting as I was not aware of the WSE.
I remember how shocked I was when I found out that the New York Stock Exchange didn't even make up 10% of the worlds stock exchange.

Asia is where it is at when it comes to world markets.
I have found it is not healthy to trade stocks without using trading charts

small amount of physical gold and silver

Kimble Charting Solutions had a very good article about gold and silver awhile back.
What kind of physical gold and silver will you be selling........coinage ?
Do you have to be a Polish citizen to trade on the WSE ?
Maybe we could start a charting company in Poland for the WSE and start selling computer programs Ziemowit.
My latest hits here in the U.S. in the last year have been SMPIX and OBMCX.
I have never thought of moving to Poland to retire trading stocks on a Polish stock exchange.
Thanks for starting such an interesting thread Adrian and Z for your knowledgeable input.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [564]

Starting with George W.

How about starting with Lyndon Bayne Johnson and Vietnam ?
The Liberal Political Correct Greenies (I call them that because the Democrats presently have no leader) are fighting for men to be able to use women's bathrooms while Trump is fighting trying to stop North Korea and Iran from obtaining nuclear warheads capable of hitting he United States since obama didn't have the stones to stop them after they crossed the red line in the sand.

Now we are in one hell of a mess where Poland and the rest of Europe is going to suffer because of it.
You can just blame it on the Conservative People and Trump who have been trying to tell you this for the last eight years.
This is the end result of Socialism, Liberalism and Political Correctness that doesn't work.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [564]

it is important to understand its roots in order that we can be clear about the problem we're trying to eliminate.

The root is that this is a declared Holy War where Islam's goal is to have Sharia Law prevail world wide.

Panicking like the Americans are

Seems we've heard this song and dance before.......oh yeah, here it is.
A top aide to Mr. Trump added to the criticism of the mayor.
Dan Scavino, the president's director of social media, posted a message referring to Mr. Khan's criticism of Mr. Trump a year ago for his "ignorant view of Muslims."

Today Trump responded to that with the following.
WASHINGTON - President Trump assailed political correctness, gun control supporters and the mayor of London on Sunday, arguing that the world needed to be more serious about fighting terrorism a day after seven people were killed and dozens more wounded in the latest attack in Britain.

"We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people," he wrote on Twitter.
"If we don't get smart it will only get worse."

Rather than blame any one president

Of course since Trump has only been in office for four months trying to clean up obama's messes that obama made in the last eight years it seems hardly fair to blame Trump now does it.

How about the $500 BILLION of frozen assets that obama gave back to Iran who is now selling rocket technology and parts to North Korea to attack the United States with a nuclear war head. Does that count ?

Thank God we now have a President to tell the Politically Correct Liberals that they had a chance and botched things up so bad that it is going to take a whole lot of work to make America Great Again.

The sad part is that there are going to a whole lot of dead people before it is over thanks to the political correct liberal idiots.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [564]

You'll have to face the facts

And the facts are:
My bet is on the Saudi's too except the facts are that Muslim obama was the chum of the Muslim world, not Trump.
(Remember obama's saying the "Muslim Brotherhood".) (Remember Trump saying "bomb the hell out of them ?")
The majority of weapons exported under obama went to the Middle East and Persian Gulf.
obama's chums Saudi Arabia topped the list at $46 billion.
Trump supports Poland for upholding their NATO pledge and refusing to let Merkel force this mess on Poland.
First the Liberals blamed everything on Bush and now they are back trying to blaming everything on Trump when he has only been President for four months ! lol

Trump wants to ban Muslims from certain terrorist countries from entering the United States and the P.C. Liberals are blocking him in the name of Political correctness.

Those are the facts.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [564]

Nice to see that people, thousands of miles away, view this as the end of civilisation as we know it.

It is even nicer that we don't have to listen to you Europ's tell us about all the mass murders in America anymore now that you are dealing with them too or what an idiot Trump is for wanting to build a wall to secure our borders.

Your Bias Liberal P.C. News media (and P.C. posters here) have gone silent on those issues for some funny reason.
People who witnessed the two deadly terrorist attacks on Saturday reportedly said some bystanders fought back, throwing glass bottles and hurling chairs at the suspects.

Perhaps it's time to give the people back their guns, that the P.C. government was so hell bent on taking away, so the citizens can defend themselves. :-/

About the first time one of them would say, "I am doing this in the name of Allah" as he swung his knife I would be pointing my .357 at his eye saying, "I am doing this for the sake of self preservation, tell Allah that I said hello." BOOM ! Next.

the UK end up seeing Poland in 20 years time as a non-muslim sanctuary ?

And how many times have I posted those words in the last year here.
I saw the hand writing on the wall of Poland becoming the Safe Sanctuary Country of all of Europe just because of this.
The wealthy will be buying up land like hotcakes in Poland.
Amazing how a Christian Country suddenly is one of the most sought after when the rest of the immoral countries of Europe start falling apart because of P.C.

Perhaps it is time for Poland to start building a wall around their country before it is to late like it is for the rest of crumbling Europe.

better yet invest in the future of your children and marry Chinese.

That may seem far fetched now however you are spot on, just hide and watch.
