News / Poland's atheist loonies have had their 5 minutes [239]

It can in logic and in principle, therefore the Popper distinction holds. One can easily conceive of the kind of evidence that would disprove it were it to exist.

So in a round about way we're stuck with evolution???

Life / I got beaten and kicks in my face just cuz i dont look polish [205]

I was sure someone would say that, but I really had a good time in Rotterdam. I met a lot of great people, I went out and had loads of fun, one of my best friends live there...

You certainly don't need to be in paradise to have fun... quite the opposite.

You didn't think that I was talking about defending PL men with my own body, did you Ashley? Cause I was just talking about defending them in a discussion, on a forum etc.

Hmm, well either way it's taking sides and condoning violence. There's no sides when both parties are acting out of stupidity.

I'm glad you survived your mugging incident and can put it behind you... Do you still hold grudges?

Well, than it's your problem.

No, it's my way of avoiding them.

No way we can understand each other.

Not if we don't try...
The situation is, men fight and justify their fights on the basis of their manhood, something I don't profess to understand. But out of observation, it's usually something very trivial that sets guys off (in most cases) and I imagine they wouldn't be able to explain why they get so agro anyway...

Of course women fight too, but for the purposes of this discussion I am talking about men having it out with each other as they do, most commonly, after a few beers and when the dark side takes over...

I would never (anymore) step in when that is taking place... unless I really felt that both guys were so drunk as to not be able to exact any sort of damage to me.

I try not to defend or get involved in any sort of violence... Because it makes everyone a victim.

Polish men punch very weakly.But this is the case with most men except Russians of whom many know box.

No kidding! My Uncle was a Soviet boxer. Big guy. Not happy unless he was punching something, but otherwise as sweet as pie. ;)

Of course it should not be considered the norm, but it happens. When it happened to me I didn't go posting all over internet suggesting that Rotterdam is one crazy place to live in.

Welcome to Polish Forums... ;)

Totally agree on that. I would also like to walk the streets of Kraków freely, without seeing crazy, drunk, half-naked Brits, puking and pissing all over the place.

Why should we have all of them... ;)

Then, maybe it's because our men are more tough and actually know how to fight? Hence Polisih men get in fight rather than get beaten up, while the delicate foreigners rather get their fragile butts kicked?

They're just getting some boxing practice in... (Why do men fight? Good question!)

But if you correlate the assult statistics by proportion of Poles/foreigners in PL, I'm sure foreigners would be overrepresentated in getting beaten up.

That's because guys that smile (foreigners) are interpreted as trying to provoke some sort of aggressive response - bringing about morbid body rage in the somewhat less highly developed Polish male.

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

The main streets are clear, but the sidewalks and many other streets are full of ice.
Looks like the part of the city I am in is becoming a big skating ring.

Be careful out there. We have devastating floods... wanna swap?

It all makes us tougher.

Work / What is the average age of graduate students in Poland? [17]

Difference is you can *get* a job with just a Bachelor's degree in the States, therefore the impetus to complete one's Master studies straight away isn't there. For the same reasons there are more kids who possibly take some time out before entering tertiary study... e.g. the notorious 'gap year' in the UK.

Plus education (I believe) is free in Poland (subsidised) and therefore to make living costs more manageable, kids study straight out of high school and just continue to live at home or take that step to move out with financial help from their parents.

I also think US and other English based Universities attract more foreign students and mature students who may be enhancing their education after having moved abroad, and therefore present a headier mix of student age groups.

USA, Canada / Moving back to Poland after 7 years in Canada [22]

Any way you can take an extended trip to Poland at an appropriate time which would help you cement your move?

If you feel it's where you belong then the sacrifices will be worth it. Life's not all about money but it is about security... don't jeopardise yourself if you think you can avoid it.

Leaving home is like one big regret that sits on your shoulders and nags at you until you have the strength of mind to get peace of mind...

Wait for Aphro... another poster here who did something similar.

The hardest part is the decision. Very tough. Life choices. :)

Love / Why are Polish women so sexy ? [390]

To be honest with you I don't really think that "hot chicks" are really that attractive to all men. Alone the expression stands for cheap looking (maybe pretty) girls (unfortunitely not very smart though).

So *hot* is synonymous with dull...?
I think hot covers the whole package... you should try harder.

I shouldn't, it was just a little remark, that's it.

Suit yourself freebird. :)

The irony is, if God's existence were actually proven, it would mean religion is in fact science and no longer faith...

I heard he left a paper trail... (or at least a couple of fossilized footprints!)

Love / Good looking Polish women with ugly men [416]

They might be doing sexy stuff alright but if that's all it takes, then by that token I am therefore Adonis

But if you can penetrate that fun would you not be captured by it...? Or do you like to make your own fun?

She's Ariel and he's some rusty anchor laying by a coral reef

Disney was way out of line promoting that sort of indecency.

If that *is* his girl, and not his daughter, then I'm sure she's cheating!

That's pretty snugly for a family affair.... Maybe he's Greek? Or she just looks damn hot for 60?!

I rest my case. Bless him! Hey, if he can do it.. I sincerely hope some guys here will see the light now. (Call me naive, but it doesn't hurt to try?)

She's his mum?
