News / UK to send tanks to Poland. [36]

so... what's the inflation rate in Russia? 8% :)?
and no, with exception of nukes, putin wouldn't be able to attack London.

Law / Giving notice that you are recording someone - Do they have this in Poland? [14]

You do not need anyone permission to record a conversation- as long as you are taking a part in that conversation. So- recording your neighbours talking (not with you, just amongst themselves) would be illegal, doing that when you all gather and talk is perfectly legal.

Publicizing that conversation is a different story.

UK, Ireland / Project: "Polish migrant residing in the UK" - data collection questionnaire [5]

Done.

News / Jaruzelski dead / his legacy in Poland [116]

nice video about him.
about the place of funeral: he should be packed in beautiful coffin and buried- in the most official ceremony- in Russia, the country that he loved and served so much.

UK, Ireland / CAN MY CHILD GET UK PASSPORT? No authorisation from father. [12]

@up
she has to apply for UK citizenship, after it being granted (it's not that hard) she can apply for British passport

Language / Variations of the verb Chodzić [11]

there is also "chadzać" (like: chadzam do sklepu)- which means to go sporadically, not often, irregularly.

Life / Should citizenship in Poland be removed for particular crimes? [7]

only if one commits a crime against the state, not the common one. And, of course, only if the citizen has dual (triple?) citizenship.
And it should be made in civilized way, by the judge in fair trial (not like they do in UK)

Love / The sexual lives of Polish immigrants (they have more sex than in Poland?) [16]

well...
when your financial worries are sorted you can start enjoying the life.

News / Ania Lisewska, Polish Woman, Wants To Have Sex With 100,000 Men for Guinness World Records. [55]

well... her photo is faptastic!

News / Polish language diacritical marks at risk! [20]

Well- for the OP: Russian uses different alphabet than Polish.
And good luck if you try to send texts (sms) with Polish diactricts in- it will not only be harder (special software necessary) it will also take longer and SMSs will have an ability to contain only 80(-ish) characters (thanx to unicode). Unless, of course, you wanna the special codepage (like 8859-2) to come back- and as a user of computers and Polish native speaker, I would say- you would be mad if you wan't it.

Diacrits are dying out in informal communication? good.

Life / did/does Polish TV show any British Sitcoms? [35]

there is also an IT Crow (the funniest British sitcom in years) as "Technicy- magicy" ("Technicians- magicians").

Food / How common GMO Food in Poland is? [25]


what a ********

Love / Aliments and abortion (I was married to a Polish guy) [64]

what about friends?
why does he wants an abortion? you *had* to have a talk about it?
couldn't you just give a birth and leave the kid in hospital?

Food / How common GMO Food in Poland is? [25]

almost all food you and I eat is a food modified genetically. remember- wheat, rye, cattle etc all of them are modified, they are all different than their ancestors.

UK, Ireland / Domestic arguments caused by differences between Polish and English culture [109]

my (English) ex was giving me the crap for washing the plates in wrong way: instead of filling the sink/bowl with water and than wash the plates in their dirt (after all- if you wash couple of them water becomes dirty) I've washed them under the running water, in the proper way.

funny thing is, that she hated taking baths- she prefers showers (so do I)- because she saw no point of being in dirty water o.O

Law / Acquiring Polish citizenship by naturalisation [40]


there is no thing like "ethnic Pole"


well- even now Ukrainians are "taking Polish jobs" in the low waged field work (someone has to pick apples or dig up kartofle)

and as I wrote- as long as immigrant are not committing crimes and are working, i can hardly see anything against it.
and, unlike in UK, in Poland you have to work to be able to get benefits. Good!

History / Soviet/Russian Army leaving Poland 1992 [21]


are those foreign forces here because we invited/agreed for them to come, or because they just came?

Law / Acquiring Polish citizenship by naturalisation [40]

hah, i knew that someone would throw Polish women "marrying African /en masse/ for money" craptalk.
And yes- being a Pole or not- the most important thing is a "cultural" selfidentification, not genetic.
And I see nothing wrong with letting Africans (or others) to Poland- as long as they can contribute into society (positively), than it's nothing wrong with it.

Good luck ivnp71!

Travel / Polish or British passport (child traveling to Poland) [51]

Get him a British passport.
If his only connection with Poland will be father and holidays, he will be practically British.

News / Poland now soft-pedalling ACTA signing [107]


basically- our "friends" from USA were showing "a bit to much" inquisitiveness about a voting about an article that doesn't support ACTA. Polish "Commission of Innovation and New Technologies" (Komisja Innowacyjności i Nowych Technologii) accepted desideratum calling Tusk to hold his acceptance for ACTA. Despite the absence of 3 senators (poseł- i have no idea how to translate it into English, if senator isn't a proper translation), commission accepted it (by 8 for yes, 3 for no, 4 hold their votes). At 11 AM, they received a call from US embassy with question about rightness of their decision.

Well. next time maybe they will just send the ambassador to sit there to make sure that their decision will be "the proper one".

Language / Polish keyboard 214 is best [34]

Dvorak layout was designated for typing in English- using the standard one to type in Polish would be... well... not the best idea- it wouldn't be faster than qwerty- so there would be no pros of learning it.
