What about The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie or the original Wicker Man? Or are they not considered Scottish enough?

Law / Are nazi tattoos in Poland legal if they are hidden? Can they still get you in trouble? [11]


...and stupid. Anyway, either keep it hidden and it maybe won't be a problem or put a big No sign [ Ø ] over it with the words 'never again!' and it's no longer a nazi tattoo but an anti-nazi tattoo.

News / Mysterious death of Magdalena Żuk on holiday in Egypt [144]


Yes, you're right it's entirely the fault of insensitve Poles for not being (or becoming) conssellors during their vacation and hanigng around the hotel the whole time looking for signs of psychological instability among the hotel guests.

Egypt 1 - Poland 0

News / Mysterious death of Magdalena Żuk on holiday in Egypt [144]


I think Polish companies are outsourcing 'rezydent' jobs to local people who often don't have the cultural knowledge (and/or time) to make good judgement calls. Wasn't the rezydent an Egyptian guy (probably overworked) rather than a Polish person who knows the local system?

Also, given Egyptian culture, there are restrictions that mean that women don't necessarily receive proper care.

Why not? In that context it's an estimate (the two are used more or less interchangeably). Dentists usually have provisional price lists (subject to change in particular cases)

Not exactly poster-children for north african immigration to the EU, are they?

All the chances that life in a western european country offers and what do they choose Crime and violence... hopefully they won't get to the next step and get invovled with terrorism....

News / Tragedy of Polish couple; Polish woman repeatedly raped in Italy, her partner almost killed [101]

Big update. Four suspects are now in custody. Two Moroccans, a Nigerian and a Congolese.

The Moroccan suspects are reportedly underage, which makes me suspicious. Migrant crime gangs in Sweden quickly learned that underage suspects are treated very leniently so the gangs keep underage members to take the blame for crimes. I wonder if something like that is going on here.

Also the Polish and Peruvian victims identified four north africans and two of the illegal alien rapists are sub-saharan African in this particular case which again makes me wonder what's going on.

Oh, and another Moroccan illegal alien tried to rape another tourist in rimini but was stopped by police.

Huh? It's perfectly acceptable in American. "I got three quotes before choosing a moving company."

I do agree that the non-member in question is spamming.

What makes you think that large groups of muslims (with the peer pressure to conform that that brings) will adapt any better to Poland than they have in any other European country? The education and crime statistics are pretty dismal for them in every country where statistics are available....

Wtih illegal aliens from North Africa? I think Nigerians are a bigger problem there.

Especially in places brimming with predatory illegal aliens from North Africa... fortunately Poland, for all its many faults, doesn't have that particular problem.

Italy has gotten the problem under control, largely through a single tough guy Marco Minniti, who simply realzed that masses of undereducated and underwesternized aliens flooding into Europe are not an immutable fact of nature.

Latest word is the migrants are going to be targeting Spain next.

Do you know how they operate now? They seem a very 1990s solution to a problem that isn't necessarily that big a deal now.

Back in the 1990s a friend looked into them but they required a big deposit (that you lost if you ever moved out) and the czynsz was insane...

UK, Ireland / Muslim man abuses and threatens Polish woman in the UK [49]


I disagree, the clear trend in muslim majority countries is the repression and dehumanization of non-muslims (and off the charts levels of violence against women). Those two things don't change when they find themselves in the UK..... and there's no reason to suspect that things would be different in Poland.

Well the Pakistani 'cultural mediator' in Italy speaking on the gang rape of a Polish woman vacationing there gave valuable insights into the mentality of the Rotherham (and many other) rape gangs in the UK. He said rape is only bad at the beginning, but then the woman relaxes and enjoys it.

Language / Where did you start or the best techniques for learning Polish. [85]


Many Americans think the 'wh' pronunciation is the norm in the UK. From what I remember reading it's actually the opposite hardly anyone maintains a distinction between which and witch in the UK while it's not that uncommon in the US, not the norm but not rare either, like me.

Yes, I say Cool Whip with the h (the distinction is liable to disappear in connected speech but saying words by themselves I definitely pronounce the h in when, why, where etc

Far more awful than what happened to the Polish couple in Rimini!

Look at their comments on the Rimini assault by illegal aliens against a Polish couple. They don't care about that or their suffering at all.

Language / Where did you start or the best techniques for learning Polish. [85]


Not sure about that, but standards in the UK seem to revolve around southern England and British Isles influence in the US is much more from Scotland, Ireland and Northern England. There's also German influence absent in the UK, not to mention AAVE (a major influence on colloquial language).

Interestingly, most americans have no idea how British people really speak (both in terms of range of accents and idioms, colloquial usage etc). There's a kind of fake British dialect common in the media that Americans mistake for the real thing (think Stewie on Family Guy). I know it used to come as a very big shock to Americans arriving in Poland and meeting British people to hear them speak.

I think the vicious attack and gang rape by illegal aliens against a Polish couple in Rimini is a bigger international issue (and certainly widely covered in the UK press too). So arguably it's the biggest Poland related story in the UK media at present.
