Life / How do Polish people see homosexuality? [152]

Well yes if its a person's private business why should they be forced to give service if they don't want to?

A private licensed business is required to operate according to the license.

The SC ruling about the gay cake was not about that business being privately owned. It was about the owner being compelled by the state to create custom art who he found morally objectionable. To me, the artist being religious or not is irrelevant.

Life / How do Polish people see homosexuality? [152]

While still at a loss about "gay pride", the question is how did Warsaw justify a monument to people who are only notorious for liking another guy's rectum?

The list of monuments honoring achievements, bravery, sacrifice, art, and science is long and rightly so. And now gays.

And that's in a country that allegedly is the second least friendly to gays.

Life / How do Polish people see homosexuality? [152]

I already explained this. Gay pride means grossing out the 99% of society

I would like to read is what gays, or their apologists, claim are the gay reasons to be proud. I think that my question is legit, as pride goes with exceptional personal achievement and an accident of birth.

This point is relevant to that rainbow thingy in Warsaw, hence on the subject.

What you wrote - and I agree with you on all points - would be an answer to the question: Why do they parade?

Life / How do Polish people see homosexuality? [152]

Sure - they are proud of being themselves

Can somebody here please help this guy and explain the concept of gay pride?

BTW, which one is it: dull suburb of Chicago or dark basement in Moscow?

Anyway, after my first post, I felt kind of weird. Maybe I was too quick with that 'never again'. Now, after three weeks on this forum, all my doubts are gone.

My problem is not that some of you hate my guts. It's OK and I actually don't mind it as it provides me with opportunities to respond.

What bugs me is the sophomoric way how you show it, with that infantile "you are not Polish", "basement in Moscow", and similar gems of human thought.

Instead, you could put some effort and respond with a well constructed sarcastic remark, for example. Or do a verbal jiu jitsu. But that would require higher level of linguistic expertise, as good sarcasms that cut well and to the point are signs of higher intelligence.

Calling me old is not. It's a self-admitted fact and, as such, under the basic rules of decency, should never be used as a verbal weapon against me. Instead, try to be more creative so that your age and intelligence is never in doubt.

Proud of bring themselves probably

Ah, that famous Polish reading comprehension at work. Did you notice "specifically" in my post above?

For your convenience: specifically - an adjective meaning in a way that is exact and clear; precisely.

Would like to try again, this time skipping that old and tired Moscow basement routine?

News / Polish man tries to sell British mother into white slave trade [128]

it that really requires an enormous amount of negative energy to maintain and quite frankly is not normal behaviour.

It requires an enormous amount of energy to change anything. There was a time when somebody said, I hate them m-f Brits in here, and the rest is history.

Happy and content people are a drag on humanity. If everybody was always happy and content, I would have a donkey and a horse instead two Lexus cars, as old as they are.

Love / I love a Polish girl, but I don't want her to drink [37]

I know maybe it's difficult to stop drinking alcohol because it's something from the Polish culture

Nothing works except an ultimatum. Better yet walk now and tell her that when she has been sober for a year to call you. That is if you love her. If you don't, you will stay and be an enabler.

If you stick around and have kids you will be stuck with a drunk who can't even be a half-decent mother. Later, your kids will hate you because she will make their lives hell. They will ask you why you didn't divorce her and you will feel like crap because you will not be able to answer this question without that "becaused I loved her" bs.

Begging, pleading, logic, facts are all useless. You might just as well talk to a wall.

The kind of malls you are used to are obviously those where skinny permatanned botox models drive up top of the range SUV

Never been there, but I remember the malls in Poland. I was shocked to see so many georgious girls and women.

Back here, in the land of the fat and the obese, it's a struggle not to see them. Like road kill or a roadside accident.

It's funny that you said that becasue I had exactly the same reaction to what I saw at the Woodfield Mall this weekend.
And what I saw was depressing. Three out of ten were morbidly obese. I actually had to move to another chair not to see the lardos.

With the exception of Muslims. Their weight was just fine. They were good looking. What they wore was modest, with no in-your-face holes. I didn't ask but I am willing to bet my last dime that none of their girls ever screamed back to their mothers: ...and you are a stupid, f***** b****!

if they want to have a march and argue for equal treatment then that is totally fine

You mean employment?

A guy walks in to apply and the mean HR lady says, are you gay? Yes, I am. Then, get out of here. Is this what you are saying?

Or is it: look everybody, I am gay, proud, on my tenth "partner" this week, have AIDS, and I would like to be a nurse in your hospital - preferably where blood transfusions are performed? Or, all of the above except that he wants to be an elementary school teacher who will tell the kids about the joys of making love to another man.

So, what equality do they want?

No one has the right to tell anyone else how they should live and whether to smoke drink or do drugs.

True, but no one has an obligation to stay with them, either. Alcohol destroys everything.

Adoption by gay couples is not allowed in PL. Unlike the US, the institute of marraige is protected by the PL constitution.

With the above being the facts, erecting a monument to gays in Warsaw is even stranger. I only hope that it is far from Grob Nieznanego Zolnieza.

Punishment for being gay is one thing. Before we get to admiration - which that rainbow thing is - there is tolerance, acceptance, and appreciation. Why would the city of Warsaw leap all the way to admiration? If it's about gay pride, what's there to be proud about? I always thought that pride goes with achievement, not sticking a male organ where it clearly does not belong.

We celebrate heros because we want more heros than cowards. Does Poland want more gays?

Another reason why I will not visit Poland again. I just read this:

'Unbreakable' LGBT rainbow installation unveiled in Warsaw after far-Right attacks

What's next? A five-story monument of a male organ next to a comparable-size rectum? I am not going to spend money and 10 hours on a plane to be reminded that some men are mentally defective and do things no parent would ever want to explain to a normal 12-year-old.

I can almost hear this: Daddy, what is this rainbow about? And a follow-up: Daddy, what do gays do? And the final one: I didn't know that it can be used for THAT!

Now I know why I really like Putin.

Language / How to write an email properly in Polish? [49]

I will probably get another o-warning for this, but my position regarding Polish langauge, stuck somewhere in a distant past, is justified.

Just walking around the malls in Warsaw, Radom, and Gdansk, I realized I am back in the States. All the stores, but a few, were American. The food courts were exclusively American. Billboards on buildings were in English. Stores had English signs. Store clerks would speak nearly perfect English. I was a you to them and I didn't get offended. Nobody called me 'sir'. So, that alleged Polish respect expressed through the overused and worn out Pan/Pani nonsense is just a meaningless formality.

My advice: take the next step and Americanize your human interactions as well after you did this to your commercial life.

No, I don't mean switch to English. BTW, Polish schools would do their students a favor by switching to the American English as more natural and a lot easier.

USA, Canada / Would you live in California, USA? [240]

Sure. Shovel, ladder and boat.

OK. Now, give me, please, the top three.

Sure. Shovel, ladder and boat.

"You are comparing our southern border to war zones? A little paranoid, aren't we?"

I will take a war zone over the peaceful invasion by the millions of scummy Latino undeportables every single day.

We can detect a zit on Kim's face from 10,000 miles but we can't detect a bunch of Latino a-holes digging a tunnel? The first one detected gets flooded with gasoline and ignited. No more tunnels. Duh.

Ladders. Have you seen one at the DMZ, the Berlin wall, or in Israel? So, how did it work?

Boats. You catch them, 10-years of hard labor for the "passengers" and sink the boat. Next.

See how simple things can be where there is a will?

There are a million ways to cross the border illegally

For now, I will settle for the bottom three so skip the first 999,997.

Just for fun: how many ways do the Palestinians use to go over the wall Israelis built?

Or are you saying that Israel is full of fools, too?

And, while you are at it, don't forget to include the DMZ.

Go. I am all eyes.

From USA Today:

MIAMI - As President Trump travels north to Canada to attend the G7 summit, Canadian officials have been heading south to try to stem a wave of undocumented immigrants headed their way.

Now, why would those lovely and compassionate Canadians do THAT?

Don't they know that the "undocumented" immigrants are a great asset and that they would, with joy in their hearts and smiles on their faces, do the work the Canadians just won't?

Hmm...

Anyone?

Language / How to write an email properly in Polish? [49]

Pan/Pani means you're keeping your distance, ty means there's no need for distance.

Perfect.

This single sentence explains why I am so much more comfortable in the US than I was in Poland during my last two visits.

It is my decision what distance I want to keep what I open a conversation. I communicate it with the words I use. Don't like it, then stop me or walk away.

Poles, like Russians, make no distinction between specific and inspecific noun designations

I trust your knowledge in this matter.

My point is that life is too short and too complex to add all these shades of gray to the daily language which do not add anything to the core messaage.

I know it's not the same thing, but just for a moment imagine this Polish politeness injected into the way pilots and the towers communicate - mostly in English.

"Prosze Pana, niech Pan zmieni kurs to avoid hitting that plane right in front of you".

I like simple. I don't need 7 ways to say I love you. Or twarz, buzia, and buziuchna.

They must be desperate without Mexicans in Japan. Nobody cuts grass, picks tomatoes, flips burgers, and make beds in motels.

Yeah, life must be hell in Japan.

USA, Canada / Would you live in California, USA? [240]

The dumbest claims made by the open-borders nuts are these three:

1. Illegals commit crimes at a lower rate than the natives.
2. Illegals are an asset to the US economy.
3. Majority of the illegals work very hard.

An inexperienced debater usually folds when confronted with this bs.

1. This a factually not true. Also, the claim ignores the fact that all crimes by immigrants - legal and illegal - are 100 percent preventable.
2. If that was true there would be bidding war between countries for the illegal Latino scum. The opposite is true: nobody wants them. Mexico included.

3. This is as dumb as it gets because it's an admission of guilt. Under law, illegals are not allowed to work at all - hard, light or anything in between. To work, they have to commit fraud on the US by getting fake SS cards - a federal felony. So much for law abiding, hard working illegals.

If you are still scratching your head about that 100 percent preventable. above, a Latino scum who was stopped at the border is unable to commit crimes beyond that border. Duh! Just don't let them in - like in Israel - and no crimes by the illegals.

I should apply for a patent for this last discovery.

Language / How to write an email properly in Polish? [49]

you bought the rug / a rug? who can tell?

Easy. A rug is any. The rug is specific. Kids learn this distinction from day one. '

Pan vs Pani, on the other hand, always requires that the gender be determined first. Way back it was easy. Today, when men have earings and colored hair, it's not. And, then, there are women with side crewcuts. Looks like s*** and is not helpful in gender identification.

I did notice how you walked around this one:

How about calling a guy Pani in a bar with his friends watching with amusement and, later, rolling all over the floor, laughing and looking for your teeth.

Try it and tell us what how it went.

Yeah, I know in Poland the gender of any person standing with his or her back to you in a dark bar in winter is immediately obvious.

USA, Canada / Would you live in California, USA? [240]

Expelling a family because of one person's crime is punishment.

We already punish families for the sins of the fathers when a father is hit under RICO and his money and other property confiscated. You go and tell the judge that some of that loot was meant for the kid's education and see how it goes. How about that civil forfeiture you hate so much? That money could be for kids' education or kidney replacement. And, if we kick dad's a** out, liberals will scream that we are cruel separating the bambinos from their loving papa.

Your argument that I support illegals indirectly is laughable at best. By depositing money in a bank, you support bank robbers, because, but for that deposit and the deposits made by others, there would be no money to rob. I also support drug smuggling because the money I spend in a Mexican store can be used by the Mexican drug smuggler running said store to finance drug smuggling. There is no end to what you wrote. No, I don't want my grass cut by the illegal garbage. If you consider what I have to pay in social services delivered to that bum and family, that grass cutting at a discout comes out very expensive. I am very familiar with that form of accounting.

I want laws to be observed and enforced without that touchy-feely crap liberals are so quick to throw in for sympathy for the illegal Latino scum. An illegal crossing into the US is a one unending crime spree. The act of crossing, stealing somebody's identity, getting a fake SS number, is just a warm-up. Then, sob want me to pay for his kids' education, medical treatment, his incarceration, deportation hearings and appeals - all on my dime.

Well he gets deported and 3 weeks later he gets his throat sliced since he arrived in a country he knew nothing about.

And that is supposed to make me feel guilty?

Did German kids deserve to be fried alive in Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the sins of their fathers? This and other such things go into the bottom drawer marked tough s***.

That thoat slicing story supports my arguments. When the Latino scum crawls under or climbs over the fence, they are just like the slicer. Just look at the murder rates in El Salvador and other hellholes being 50 to 100 times higher than in the white America. That's times, not percent.

God have mercy on this country.

Language / How to write an email properly in Polish? [49]

This Pan/Pani Polish mozaic of madness is just that - a useless, phony, contrived mozaic of craziness with no benefit to anyone.

In deciding between Pan and Pani, first I have to figure out the gender. What if I guess wrong? I can image how pleased a woman would be hearing prosze pana, especially if she is with her friends who would later tell everybody how Mary was called Pan. How about calling a guy Paniin a bar with his friends watching with amusement and, later, rolling all over the floor, laughing and looking for your teeth.

Then, there is age. Pani goes with 40. At 18, is she Pani or Panna? Where is the age limit? How about Panienka? Who is Panienka?

How about marital status. Is it part of that idiocy? I don't know so I am asking. Is Panna a Pani who is not married and old?

At 10, is a boy Pan? If not and I don't know his first name, then what? At that age gender is not immediately obvious. Saying to a boy Panna (czy Panna wysiada teraz?) can scar the kid for life. How do I address males who are 20?

This is beyond madness. It's self-inflicted masochism without merit

On the other hand, in that unsophisticated, crude and vulgar US, all of this crap is gone and replaced by a universal and oh so simpleyou.

What is even more amazing is the reaction here. Instead of admitting that this whole Pan/Pani thing is a relic from the past like husaria, almost to the last one, the posters here defend it and are actually proud doing it. Which, of course, means that not a single thing in the Polish culture is due for a revision.
