News / British teacher stabbed in Poland [116]

It is quite a shame that some people have no sympathy for the dead and the wounded.

Kevin writes few posts with great economy of words.

But he's spot on.

There isn't a great deal to discuss here.

Anything beyond what has been written in the newspaper reports is just speculation.

It's a shame one person has been killed and another seriously injured.

Real Estate / Prices of agricultural land in Poland [39]

Thats like an Italian person saying if you don't like Pizza then you must eat Pasta, totally ignoring the fact that there are lots of other foods available - a completely black and white attitude. What do you think of the scientific method applied to best serve humanity?

And you know what that 'scientific' method is, how you are going persuade humanity to adopt it without a fight and how it will work in practice (despite it never actually having been tried).

In that case, you must be the wisest person on the planet.

It is indeed.

szczecinianin:
I think Juche under Kim Jong Un is the way to go.

why don't you take an extreme polar opposite in an attempt to make a ridiculous point a bit more.

It's the only true communist country left. If 'capitalism' is the problem, then surely things must be far better in the only country in the world that rejects capitalism. Have you never considered leaving for a better life there?

then seem to be obvious that that paper lies about what has happened.

Most likely they didn't 'lie', but rather misunderstood the situation (if it's the same incident).

European influence maybe, people are coming back from places and bringing back unhealthy custom form those places

It is interesting that you define Poland as being 'non-European'. I thought it would be disparaging to Poland to define it in such a way.

Its merely the capitalist profit machine doing what it does best.....exploiting the people.

I think Juche under Kim Jong Un is the way to go.

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

As has been said before, every ethnic group/nationality/race has its share of idiots and geniuses and the full range of normal distribution in intelligence.

Exactly.

Sadly people get stabbed at house parties all the time all over the world.

Funnily enough, I've never been to a house party where anyone got stabbed.

I think this is neither the right thread nor the right time for bickering or point scoring. Let's just wish the teacher concerned a full recovery.

News / SPECIAL REPORT: The Brits who left the UK for a life in Poland [28]

Why would I rely on Polish people speaking English to communicate, I live in Poland I must speak Polish.

For most practical purposes, you don't really have to. If people you speak to know English, they will generally try to speak to you in English once they realise you are foreign. That's my experience, anyway.

if Poles can learn something form you or gain from you they will be queuing up the high street to be your friend/colleague

I disagree with you. If the person you are speaking to knows English at intermediate level or above they will prefer to speak English. If your accent is not perfect, then you may get ridiculed.

History / Communism, was it the best form of government Poland ever had? [68]

jon said a murderous communist regime which killed more than 50 thousand people in poland 'was the best form of goverment poland has ever had'. This is like saying the nazi goverment was the best form of goverment germany had.

Can you please refer to the post where he said this. I would like to see the context.

Work / Average wage in Poland (towns / cities) [23]

Minimum is the same all over Poland. Can't you google it? Why do you expect people here to do your homework for you?

Work / Average wage in Poland (towns / cities) [23]

no we are looking to set up factory here so I am asking about polish people

Is this the best way to find out?

Where in Poland? People to do what?

If you are looking to employ unskilled workers, then you need only pay minimum wage.

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

Why ever not, this is the 21st C, not need to be sexually repressed anymore and fell ashamed of natural behaviour.

Even in the 21st century, I don't think it's something most people feel comfortable talking about.

You're never spoken about it with your partner? I find that strange.....actually I don't believe that if you've never spoken about it with any woman.

Obviously, I talk about such things. Equally obviously, I don't know whether I am being told the truth, and whether the person I am talking to is representative of all Polish women. If you had a partner with ginger pubes, would you assume all Polish women had ginger pubes?

As for your last sentence, why would I call a number to listen to a Polish accent, I live in Poland, there are Polish accents everywhere. A very strange comment to make.

The comment wasn't a 'serious' one. Have you never heard of a 'joke' or 'banter'?

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

I don't often bring up the subject of masturbation when talking to females, but each to their own, I suppose.

And how do you know whether whatever it is they tell you is the truth?

Are you sure you haven't been phoning certain pay per minute lines and asking for someone to 'talk dirty' in a Polish accent?

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

Just like Britons moving to Australia.

Not really. I don't think anyone moves to the UK for the weather.

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

The difference between Poland and western Europe is that people in the west can afford a better car, change their mobile phone more often, go to pub every day, and they have to work shorter to afford to go abroad for a holioday.

If the difference were not significant there would not be millions of Poles living abroad.
