qbanez.wordpress.com/2010/11/01/47-3/

News / Tusk cracks down on designer drugs ("dopalacze") in Poland [171]

well...
this is perfect example how much Poland is unlawful country. Dopalacze are perfectly legal- they are not prohibited- and, yet, politicians have to show "how much they care about society"- so they are sending SANEPID and other services just to find hooks on them. but, well, those attention ****** will do anything.

Love / THE POLISH DISEASE, wanna marry a Polish girl ? read on... [197]

jesus, when people will learn not to use space between words and commas, question marks et al.?

History / Why did the reformation not have a huge effect on Poland? [28]

reformation had some influence in Poland- but after war with Sweden (Potop Szwedzki) most protestants had a choice- convert to catholicism or GTFO somewhere else (for example: Bracia Polscy).

Life / Fascination of Poles with German Laundry Detergent [16]

this obsession has it's reason- detergents, coffee, coke, etc etc varies from country to country- even if its made by the same company.

History / Pewex and Balaton - do you rememer these Poland shops? [13]

I remember (well... I think) - my older brother got his BMX from Pewex :P

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

I heard that there was a contest for a sculpture (or other sign) to commemorate death of former president. here are few photos:

;)

Food / I am a cider drinker, where to get it in Krakow [40]


yes, i know- but perry is their main product (as far i know). and, speaking about other fruits- i cannot stand most of them*

*only elderflower and lime is good

Food / I am a cider drinker, where to get it in Krakow [40]

1. kopperberg is a famous pear cider, not an apple cider
2. apple cider != ocet jablkowy AND apple cider != winko jabłkowe

Life / Do Polish Marlboros differ? [21]

former Marlboro Light are called Marlboro Gold
but regular Marlboros are still called 'Marlboro'

Life / Do Polish Marlboros differ? [21]

as far I have been told (i don't smoke, i'm not that stupid)- yes, they differ (quite a lot of smoking Brits told me that)- and they are different from Marlboros made for/in Lithuania (also- quite a lot claims that 'polish' marlboros are better than lithuanian)

News / Why are Czechs more effective than Poles and Poland? [116]


well... any ideology will be murderous if it's followed without thinking and common sense...

and no- atheism isn't religion (despite religionists' talking)

Po polsku / Nowa książka wydawnictwa Fronda [13]


jeszcze lepiej jest przycisnac kogos kto wierzy... no, wtedy z naukowym uzasadnianiem wiary bedzie duuzo weselej :P

Travel / My friends advise me not to go to Warsaw because people are horrible there? [30]

Warsaw?
you would be better to visit other cities :)

Food / PIZZA & KETCHUP served only in Poland? [159]

hm... there is nothing better than good Pizza flooded by ketchup (spicy one) :)

btw, any of you tried a garlic-ketchup? i bought 2-3 bottles of it when I was in Chech republic (years ago)- its nice, green ketchup- looks (and tastes!) great on zapiekanka/pizza/frytki :)

btw2
@Magda2010- fries with vinegar ('in uk style') are actually really tasty.

Life / Is Poland split into two religions: catholicism and non-believers? [103]

yes. i hope that thread-creator will understand communistic invention called "wierzący- niepraktykujący" ("believer but not attending to masses etc")- ya know, someone who labell himself as 'catholic' but not going to church (unless its christmas/easter or its a funeral/wedding/christening), someone who claim to love pope but still using condom/pill (sex outside marriage! omfg!), someone who doesn't believe in any of church rules but he/she *have* to have a catholic wedding or funeral etc- in that case, 95% of Poles are catholics; 5% just don't give a sh*te about that.

UK, Ireland / Are you able to hear the different English accents? [97]

i can spot someone from Glasgow after hearing few his/her words...

USA, Canada / polish people in usa that wanted germany to win [34]


personally- i reckon germans as much more civilised than russians- and yes, *if* i would *have to* choose, I would rather be under german occupation. but, having to choose between them (i.e. Germans and Russians during 2ww) is like choosing between cholera and black death :|

USA, Canada / US Polonia 70% for Kaczyński [343]

i just wonder- why Polonia has right to vote? i mean: if someone doesn't live in Poland, pay no taxes in Poland- why should he(she) have a right to vote.

UK, Ireland / Oxford Polish bride 'heartbroken' over arrest - accusations of sham marriage [126]

@SouthMancPolak

well... she is cute (but no, i do not claim that polish chicks are 'the most beautiful in the world')

Language / what's the difference between... "spierdalaj" vs "wypierdalaj" [6]

it should be
"spierdalaj" and "wypierdalaj"

Life / Polish men mostly have short hair, why? [43]

there is nothing worse than man with long (>5cm) hair- especially when they try to have a 'mhroczny' look ;P

Language / Nazwy mieszkanców - the names of a city/country residents in Polish [14]


1. Amerykanin, not amerikanin
2. Litwin, Ukrainczyk etc should be written with first letter capitalised

for example:

Poznań- Poznańska Pyra

;)

History / Friedrich Nietzsche - Polish or German ? [73]


... and now, he is dead- like God.

;)


what are you on? change your dealer anyway, he puts some dangerous stuff in "product"

Language / Ski Or Ska? - Polish surname endings [44]


Nope- in passports etc documents- only letters of alphabet of country issuing it should be used. i.e.- in Poland Jähn Sigmund should be written Jahn. In England, Świętowid should be Swietowid and Miłosz should be Milosz.

and btw, Q V X exist in Polish alphabet- but usually in borrowed words (or obsoletes words, like Xiądz, Xiąże etc).

btw, I hope that you understand fact, that if you want to keep the 'original' written form, you should do it also to cyrillic, greek, hebrew, arabic and few dozens of other scripts :)?

Language / Ski Or Ska? - Polish surname endings [44]


no, they shouldn't. same with Polish letters- they should not be in use in other countries (i.e. in names on passports etc)


you are kidding, aren't you?

Love / Should i wear this to a polish wedding or not? :) [27]

...this is what I call a beautiful woman :)!

Language / About: w tytę [12]

Ożesz w tytę= ożesz w mordę= ja cię kręcę= w mordę jeża etc
it doesn't have any particular meaning; it only express surprise- its a reaction of something surprising and/or unbelievable.

UK, Ireland / Polish workers humiliated at the Laurens Patisseries - protest [45]

well... work is not a place to show a tribute to victims of *any* accident/attack. why the hell employer should allow that during work? they can "pay tribute" during their braketime.
