News / POLES FEEL LIKE JEWS HAVE TOO MUCH CONTROL IN POLAND - TRUE? [209]

You shouldn't worry about being an intellectual lightweight - Nietsche is beyond a lot of people. Get someone to explain his views on different cultures to you, and perhaps find someone to explain the dialectic between his ideas and Spenglerian materialism.

everyone knows what partying means

People lead very different lives - enlighten us as to your definition of partying.

post #81

You probably haven't read very much Nietsche - I suggest an introductory course at your local community college - it may help you understand it from a Frankean perspective.

East European obsession with the Jews.

Absolute obsession.

A few anti-Semitic posters on this forum

A few??

Nietzsche did not believe there was only one single "master race" but rather there have been groups of people that followed either "master morality" or "slave morality."

Very much so. Barking mad, unfortunately.

UK, Ireland / Wedding with a Polish girl. I need to see the magistrate? [5]

It wasn't long ago that the reverse was true - for a while they wouldn't accept embassy ones. You need to contact the consular section of the embassy. Phone them rather than email (or you'll be waiting until Christmas for a reply) and find out the latest situation. They are used to the requirements changing.

Let us know what they say - it could be useful for somebody.

Because it's an unanswerable question.

everyone knows that if you want to party in holland you have to go to amsterdam

That depends a lot on what you mean by "to party"...

Language / "Niewyróżniający się" [5]

No worries - you'll notice that PGTX's and my answers are pretty similar, but there isn't an exact cognate since the best answer depends on the context. Wyroznic is about telling the difference between things. Niewyróżniający się means that you can't really tell the difference between it and something similar. I like PGTX's 'unremarkable'. Think of an indifferent restaurant meal.

So you think you'll find the ideal woman in a dive in Amsterdam, where by your own admission, the women are:

driven by money

escorts/escorting

Very practical.

Life / $3,000-$4,000 a month - would we have enough money to live in Poland? [273]

do you guys think that she thought she would be able to sell the apartment to the Americans instead of renting?

I suspect she's hoping they'll come across as desperate and beg her to rent, of course for more money, or she'll turn around in two days and say she might be prepared to if the price is 'right'.

Spot on. Very sound advice.

I'd add that he should keep at least one flat in reserve even when he's chosen the one he wants. The landlord would have no qualms about doing the same with tenants. This is insurance agaist the time honoured Polish tradition of the landlord waiting until the tenant is packed and ready to move than putting the price up.

AGAIN the owner showed the Flat on Saturday to her brother and said she would tell him what the price would be on Monday (yesterday) then called him and said "It does not calculate, I am not going to rent!" ?????????????? WTF!? Why would she list it and show it if 2 days later she says NO????

Playing silly mind games, with a clear financial goal. Not unusual in Poland, sadly.

Well, she will be there in two days.... maybe she will be able to find something for us... I hope.

No no no no. Ignore her and be terse about it. If she has anything for you, she will change her tune quick enough, if not, move on.

Did not think it would be so hard to rent a flat in Gdynia.

It isn't. Try onet or gumtree. it is a renters' market.

Might but doesn't - the East European obsession with Jews is far older than that.

Friedirich Nietzshe who had Polish Roots

Well, he created the concept of a master race - he considered Jews and Chinese people to be part of it.

I think that Smolensk was done by Jews too.

Comedy. Everyone knows it was a Russian guy shining mirrors/lazers/blowing smoke into the pilot's eyes.

Language / Polish Language classes - what do your lessons look like? [21]

I would too. A combination of all those posts plugging this glossa setup, the strange English that a native from Bristol would never, ever use but which a Pole stylistically would, and the fact that Dalloway isn't a usual surname outside the novels of Mrs Woolf.

All a bit suspect, really.

Stuff like this on other fora - it seems like glossa are spammers - one good reason to avoid them. The following is only one of many

I think that classes should be diverse or at least there should be some extra workshops in the afternoon or evening. I participated in a Polish course in August at Glossa School in Cracow and there were many fun activities and workshops: watching films, cooking and tasting traditional Polish food and many trips for free. I remember Polish Christmas party with pierogi, mushroom soup and singing carrols. It was a great fun! frdalloway

? I've never seen its advertisements, not to mention "aggresive" advertisements.

I have. Plus a lot of mysterious comments on internet fora. The ones in the list above however have a proven reputation.

Well, he must have found it somewhere - even he is not able to come up with
such enormous cr*p himself :)

Some racist websites have those lists - entirely ficticious, listing every public figure they don't like and some they do.

I'd call it pure paranoia, however there's a real streak of evil in there.
