Language / So why did you give up learning Polish? [105]

It certainly isn't.
And English is, as you say, a far superior language.
But that is not to say that there is nothing good about Poland.
You can't see anything at all good about Poles and Poland.
But you are very wrong.There is so much in Polish history, culture, geography, architecture,cuisine, poetry, song, etc etc.
The Poles and Poland just cannot be wiped aside by your newly aquired American hand as worthless.
You really need to re evaluate your opinions, because they are blatantly wrong, or shut up.

Language / WHY THE HELL CANT I LEARN POLISH?? [64]


Crow is "fair game" as his English is appalling..... Parisians speak much better English than they like to admit and actively resist speaking it.
In Paris, or in France in general, I only speak in French and service is much better.
I know The French intimately and they are snobs.....

Food / Barszcz czerwony recipe (Beetroot Soup) [48]

Mushrooms only for Christmas eve, meat for the rest of the year.

Language / So why did you give up learning Polish? [105]


In my experience most young Poles at least speak a little English.
Older Poles not much.
The English language is now truly dominating the world, partly because it is fairly easy to learn and very forgiving.
You can say or write things in English that are grammatically very inaccurate, but you will still be understood.
Did you know that there are more students of English in China than the whole population of The USA?

Love / I want my Polish gf to live with me but she says life here is too hard [31]


LOL!!!!!

Yeah, good advice Crow :-)

Food / Adwokat vodka with egg yolk [16]


Spoken as a true Slav, too impatient to get drunk...... :-)
There is a lot to be said for patient drinking.
The French probably drink more alcohol daily than Poles, but besides alcoholics, you see very few drunks in France, unlike Poland......

Life / Air shows in Poland are annoying [23]


Airshows yes, helicopters no..... they even land on fields near me and come in VERY low.....

Travel / Maybe visiting Warsaw next summer - or to choose Bulgaria? [26]


The only good activity in Bulgaria is skiing.
The beaches are nothing special.
But the food and alcohol is pretty good.....

Polonia / Poland and France cultures are similar [112]


This is true.
When I was first presented Chaucer's "Cantebury Tales", I thought WTF is this!
It was Middle English of course and after some hard work and perseverance, I understood it and loved it!
So detailed and graphic that you feel you are sensing,feeling and even smelling The Middle Ages....
And I could always feel that Norman French in his writing.
Wind back to Old English though.... like a foreign language...... Dutch,Danish,Germanic and even Celtic sounding.....

Polonia / Poland and France cultures are similar [112]


But hugely influenced by Latin,Old Norse,Norman French as well as Anglo Saxon.

Life / Why are young Poles turning away from Church and religion? [25]


What?
3 this year and 1 last year is a growing number of Poles.
Young Poles regard themselves as Catholics, but most don't attend church and I would say that the majority are agnostic.

Life / Why are young Poles turning away from Church and religion? [25]


I think the above are the wisest words in this thread.

Travel / English cigarettes - where to buy in Poland? [41]


Thanks Rich :-( , I smoked for most of my adult life, gave up 6 years ago.
I feel better for not smoking, but all those years of cigs has not caused me any long term problems.
Smoking is bad for you, but not as bad as they say, now they are trying to tell you that eating too much red meat will kill you.....ask The Germans..

This state control over our freedoms has gone way too far.

UK, Ireland / Do any Polish women who live in Scotland ever date Scottish men? [3]

I'm in England but I guess it's the same.
Polish men tend to go for Polish women mainly.
But Polish women seem to be much more broad minded and date guys from all nationalities.

So, good luck mate!

Travel / English cigarettes - where to buy in Poland? [41]


They don't.
But they smoke more than Americans but less than Poles.

News / Polonophobia rising in Israel. [144]


You ignore the fact that Poland welcomed them when the rest of Europe was antisemic.
And to Poland's benefit.
Why would somebody ignore real history?

News / Polonophobia rising in Israel. [144]

I love Poles, for reasons that should be obvious, even to you.
I am also very fond of Jews and am a strong defender of Jews and Israel in other forums.
So, no, wrong again my nutty little Serbian troll......

News / Polonophobia rising in Israel. [144]


Firstly, you don't really care about Israeli/Polish relations.
Secondly, you don't love Poles or Israelis.
Thirdly, all you are doing is trying to stir things up for your pathetic Serb ambitions.
Don't waste your time.
Nobody will touch Serbs now.
You are too toxic.

Genealogy / Polish blood only makes up 1% of your "Polishness" [77]


Nice one kaprys :-)

Genealogy / Polish blood only makes up 1% of your "Polishness" [77]

@Lyzko

Nah,that doesn't ring true with me.
Maybe someone else can come up with a more plausible answer.

Genealogy / Polish blood only makes up 1% of your "Polishness" [77]

I don't understand this hatred of Polonia, is it an elitist thing?
Does this exist in the Irish or Italian diaspora?

Life / Why are Poles in other countries called "Plastic Poles"? [168]


Mainly "Plastic Poles" like me!
Apparently, we don't count.... and neither do you......

What?

Language / Myśląc "Polska" - Does new PiS motto.... really mean anything? [20]


There is no such language as "American".
You speak English.Yes, there are a few subtle differences, but they are being shared in both directions.


Nah,not initially, not ever.
Americans have created an English that is simpler, more accessible and because it is easier to learn, their version of English is taking over the world.

But it is still English.

UK, Ireland / Polish traffickers in the UK jailed for enslaving hundreds of their own people [58]


This is true.
But these bastards obviously preyed on vulnerable people.
Disgusting.

News / An article: NATO is the American occupation of Poland and Europe, by Mateusz Piskorski [233]


In your dreams moron, London will certainly outlive Serbia.


Yeah, after decades of denial.
I do not trust our "Slav Brothers" in Russia or in Serbia.
Other Slav countries yes, Czechs, Slowaks, Croats, Slovenians and Ukrainians are all fine by me.
I even prefer non slav Lithuanians and Hungarians to Russians and Serbs.

please stick to the topic

WTF is "Progressive Ideology"? and what, exactly, is "Progressive" about it?

They look like gypsies.... but what gets me is how those Poles were so stupid as to fall for it.
Were they druggies alky's or mental retards?
