Study / The worst of Polish education. No wonder Polish universities are bottom of the list. [142]


It is known how those test should be made, demand that question ought to be representative for the entire subject must be met. Also certain precent of open- end questions should be there, perhaps also one short essay type of question and the rest closed questions with answers that are all to some degree plausible. So, those tests cover usually the complete exam material of 2000 pages via 4 written exams, each with more than 50 questions. It lasts longer but to achieve accuracy and fairness that is OK.

Curiously, being small group of 50 students who were on those exams, usually the rankings (grades of students) were similar from exam to exam, same people achieved more or less same ranks, proves that people who have higher abilities and put more effort were righteously rewarded for both using that method.


Yes, it was hard or impossible to get 10 in Psychology, very rarely, and it meant that person learned the subject to the last detail.

I prefer that system than the one where verbalization and personal contact can contaminate (and they usually do) the evaluation of the student's knowledge by the professor.

I gave up Law after passing Criminal law, general part and when professor told me that she will give me 9, that all facts are told, but not presented in a way it is expected by future lawyer, then she listed my student book and said that for the same reason other teachers were giving me 8 mostly. She said that facts in law sometimes have less significance than verbal presentation of facts?!, and I told her that I will think about continuing law if that is the case. Then 1999. came and ambivalence was solved. I quit. ( I was on 3rd year, and I was for the second time learning the International Public law, with all the idiotic details about UN and international legal acts, while bombs who flew against those super cute declarations were making whoooozeee, boooooom above my head repeatedly. Then it was over. Thank you good soldiers for helping me become good and poor person, not some filthy rich lawyer)

Study / The worst of Polish education. No wonder Polish universities are bottom of the list. [142]


I started with law studies and I was prepared out of 800 pages for 750. Three questions, random, verbal, nothing left nothing right from those three. Once out of 82 lessons, I learned 80 and drew out the card with the one not learned enough, I just read it, hell!! I passed 13 of those exams there, full two and a half years of horror, and decided to study psychology, which was more elite, 7 candidates for 1 student place, and IQ test was part of entrance exams. Average IQ of psychology student was 120, if I remember correctly. Then we had to memorize again 2300 pages, 2000 pages, but they mostly gave options of multiple choice written type of exams, with demanded 60 % to pass which was making it less gloomy, although for 5 years I studied in average 6 hours per day, every day, with all in total (I summed it up) 3 months of break during those 5 years. I developed some strange myopia that was gone after I graduated. Ophthalmologists who originally diagnosed it, and suggested glasses were after I noticed that reading gets only more difficult with the old ones, surprised to determine it was gone and glasses should be thrown away.

So, multiple choice promotes some sort of additional motivation knowing that there is high chance that you will be rewarded according to your knowledge, effort, if you learn 70 % of demanded you'll pass with that grade 7, that would be a C I think. Strictly verbal exams like the conservative law faculty was offering was promoting cheating (scripts instead of books, empty verbal proliferation and mostly reward rarely was adequate, somebody who learned 50% and had a luck to choose 3 questions among those got a 10 (A A), and somebody who missed 25% and had a bad luck to draw one from those 25'% was failing. It was DEMOTIVATING.

Actually, this depicts the goal of the studying those. Psychology- leftists who discriminate against less gifted people , and promote fairness, and Law, conservatives that teach you should how to get through the system and become a fraud unless you want to suffer horribly :))))

Law / What are chances for Poland to join in Eurasian Economic Community? [100]


There was but not in a direction Resident Evil said. According to Igenea, Turks have Slavic element in their genome, I think it was 9% or something like that. That could be explained by practice called Tax in blood, where Serbian children, the tallest the healthiest in some areas, south Serbia and parts of FMRY, were taken from their parents to be raised by Turks and to become future Turks and Ottoman army.

Serbs are mostly a mixture of Slavs who settled here and the population already inhabiting Balkans, and in large share a genome unfortunately with teutonics and I think some celtic markers too are there. Turks are nowhere to be found. Teutonics or Turks it is irrelevant for us. Same sh1t. Celtic is OK ;)

Law / What are chances for Poland to join in Eurasian Economic Community? [100]

That is utter crap you would like to believe in that conveniently justifies behavior of the West in this area. You are both prone to cognitive slippages, letting your emotions reasoning for you.

Like with Amanda aka guesswho and Bratwurst boy, discussions are waste of time about this topic.

Law / What are chances for Poland to join in Eurasian Economic Community? [100]


That is American view, you have the same phenomena you call it patriotism, because for lack of national bond of your citizens. You are raised form the day one to love your country, we are raised to love our nation.

I don't want to even try to discuss nationalism with you, you have far less knowledge about its routs, development its meaning, so it is futile. What you think you know is something completely else. No offense, I dealt with the subject from all sides, psychological, historical, legal, political. Second you tend to display rigid cognitive style where my attempts would be stopped for the second time. Third, you were more than once very mean, at times also vulgar when it comes to description of Serbs, so I , knowing that attitudes especially after emotions are envolved and person repeats them over and over (like you did) they become even more solid. Very rarely people change their attitudes through discussion, it is known what are the factors that have to involved, neither of us possess the traits to perform something that would make you unbiased. On my side lack of authority, on yours integrative thinking, tendency not to oversimplify phenomena, and above all mechanism of displacement you tend to use when it comes to Serbian topic, you are simply mean and angry with not much to say about the topic besides the usual things.


It is good to say that the reportage about foreign volunteers in CRO was made by BBC I think, certainly not anything close to Serbs. It sadly should have presented the support, but for those who have basic literacy it presented something completely different.

I didn't know that Russians volunteered in this war nor Greeks, until I came to this forum and was involved in shameful discussions like this one where I have constantly for the sake of TRUTH to dig out from the graves people who were victims on Serbian side. It seems to me, also to a blind one, that that side is slightly underrepresented here. That truly is causing nausea. I don't see a reason why would you be so engaged in Crow's threads, discuss American, Polish, Danish? issues that have some relevance for you and where you can be creative, not destructive and redundant.. Sadly your contribution here is close to zero.


It was mostly driven by fear for survival, Croats declaring independence changed their constitution and expelled Serbs that were big minority out of it, reviving the traumatic past of the people there. History exists, like it or not. your country your issues, I am not getting involved in discussions that deal with something that I have less knowledge about, and especially I wouldn't dare to give you lessons how to behave. You displayed all of your shortcomings on one- single topic Serbs.

Law / What are chances for Poland to join in Eurasian Economic Community? [100]


If some lost souls were there, I saw the reportage about foreign volunteers in CRO, well let's say it was hard to find one face with teeth, or not being at some moment diagnosed as a psychopathy( absence of mimic and hardly articulated sounds that were supposed to be interview), or borderline intelligence at best. It was a horror show, gallery of people that resembled circus artists ;)

When it comes to Croats, have in mind that Serbs have memory of 300 000 slaughtered Serbs by Nazi Croats, in camps, in pits, 1941, 42, 43. the parents and grandparents of those Serbs in CRO in the same region war was going on in 1991.

Fear for life is a strange thing, makes people defensive aggressive, they want to live, knowing that the same Croatian rhetoric supported in 1991. by the West lead 50 years ago to worst death camps in WWII. See under Jasenovac.


Serbs just wanna have fun Flagleess :))) Nobody wants to be Russian. Serbs usually like being Serbs. No they love it. One of the social studies performed few years ago by American social psychologist about self esteem, showed that at least there, Serbs are the first in the world. Hence, they don't want to be anything else. They feel good in their skin.

Law / What are chances for Poland to join in Eurasian Economic Community? [100]

Those were Croats, not Serbs media confused that part ;) 250 000 Serbs were in one day made to leave their homes in Croatia. The world was silent about it. 1995. Operation storm.

Law / What are chances for Poland to join in Eurasian Economic Community? [100]


And there is strong pro Polish sentiment also coming from Serbs.
Crow can be prone to use stronger rhetoric means in his expressions of emotions toward Poles, but even though I don't have his emotional sophistication, nor share his political attitudes, I know exactly what is he talking about when he is becoming nostalgic and sentimental about Poland.

Collective unconscious common, genome closeness (feeling of kinship), I have no explanation, perhaps both work to give this result.

Life / Poles - what do non-Poles just "not get" and why? [23]


I'm afraid I didn't paraphrase Baudrillard well. Prnography as a term is used here to denote something forbidden, what people in a way fear from, something that they don't want to be a part of their lives, like it happened before with the real pûrnography. Sex was previously subject to avoid. Nowdays it is the death. the topic we avoid.

He didn't think about necrophilia, and I'm afraid it was understood too literal, concrete which is my fault.
Apologies to Baudrillard, he is dead since 2007, Death is not forbidden for him anymore, sadly...:(

Life / Poles - what do non-Poles just "not get" and why? [23]


You tried with the thread about Polish sexual preferences, but people insist on changing the urges (talk about food instead of what they really prefer)!!!!! I heard from one of my mentors that 2/3 of the obesity problems are directly, or indirectly caused by problems related to sexuality.

That theme is for me, for unknown reason still censored one to majority, although many argued that topic is that used that as Baudrillard stated, paraphrasing: 'Talks about sex cannot arouse anybody these days, everybody talks about it. Death became the truly forbidden theme, hence death is contemporary prnography'. He was wrong?

News / Will you be proud of tranny (transsexual) representing Poland ? [124]


Experts agreed many times about different par excellent idiocies, like masturbation being one of the causes of blindness.

I heard our most prominent surgeons in that field Sava Perović, pioneer of sex change in this region, saying to his students that all of the research, international studies done until that moment, two, three years ago were inconclusive about solid medical condition that justifies sex change interventions. He said that 'He trusts the word of his patients (relying on report of their psychological states).

Also, when dealing with touchy subjects on the edge of science that has firm empirical base or science based on consensus of the experts, some caution is healthy.

Once upon a time in America experts also agreed on the existence of medical illness named drapetomania, illness equated with PATHOLOGICAL need of the black slaves to run away from their white masters into the freedom.

Careful.... ;)

I met a guy online in 2000. and we were in quite gratifying relationship (shared evaluation) for almost 2 years. Although he was from Belgrade like me, we both hesitated to meet in person for 3 months, being afraid that the online magic will be gone. It wasn't :)

One perfect intermezzo ;)

Life / Can many young Poles speak German? [72]

English indeed seems more practical, I had to say that because it is an insult for Germans ;)
I have nothing to do with business so I didn't really need it. I used it to start reading Homo Faber auf Deutsch.
But, it is excellent for giving orders. Am Besten!

When I gave up German, I started learning Spanish at Uni. I also had a private tutor for 6 months intensively. Fast in, fast out. I understand it quite well now, but it ends there. Probably contact and effort would result with some awakening of the sleeping vocabulary. I managed to read Marquez in Spanish in that period, 10 years ago, and found out disappointed that his work sounds better in Serbian translation. We have few excellent interpreters that spiced up Marquez. One of them is from Chile. That was the time when I realized that interpreter rewrites the writer. Tricky.

I regret missing the French. I'm afraid I will close my eyes as an ignorant on that matter.

Do you speak any of the languages from Romanic group Lyzko?

Life / Can many young Poles speak German? [72]

Save the always scarce memory capacity resources for something Good, don't be so generous ;)

Edit: I didn't learn German in school, but terrible adolescent crisis tempted me to start learning Deutsch. So...i bought the book, the basic level. Then I had a tutor for a year and a half. I don't know why I did it, but I suspect that some deeply rooted collective consciousness type of anxiety was the motivator. God knows why.

I should delete that from my HD and replace it with some melodic southern language.

Poles learn German, it is eine sehr wichtige Sprache.

Law / Difference between an expat and a immigrant (or permanet resident) in Poland [41]

Which of the concepts is more general originally in language without abuse of terms? Expatriate should be the one if I understood at least something?

Law / Difference between an expat and a immigrant (or permanet resident) in Poland [41]

It sounds like expatriate is one wandering and lost tourist, but expert in his field nonetheless :)

Anyway, i still fail to grasp the difference that makes that difference important.

Still feels like a language mean to discriminate, or to give privileges avoiding the stigma of being called an immigrant.

English is my third language, so I am apologizing for not understanding this discussion perhaps at all.

Life / Can any young Poles can still speak Russian [25]


Being nowhere constantly, we have equally relevant two alphabets (East, West), one is taught in the 1.grade(cyrillic), the other one in the 2. grade (latin) of elementary school.

My education in large part was happening during the golden liberal socialism period, when different elem. schools had two different obligatory languages. English was the most common, and present in almost all of the schools(95%), second one was russian, then close to the oldest part of Belgrade, as a second language instead of russian that was more common in Novi Beograd, German and French were taught. Kids could choose only the school, but not the languages they will learn in particular school.

Summary: I had 5 years of English, from my 9- 14 year (most basic level), and in gymnasium my foreign language (elementary school was determining that one) was only russian. English was replaced with Latin.

Problems I had with Russian are not describable!!, we all mostly cheated shamelessly, my lexical fund was enriched with, all in total 20 truly russian words during 8 years of 'learning' it.

Russian grammar , on the other hand, I knew better than Serbian. System was for some unknown reason insisting on knowing by heart all declinations for nouns, adjectives. (in Russian)

So, I have no idea how would all that look like if there was no russian in school, but I do understand approximately 70 % of spoken russian, and I know that Russians understand me proportionally.

Written Polish is harder for me to comprehend than spoken one, and I understand it even then far less than russian.

I found the link to that chart, I am not sure about reliability of the source.
