Life / Polish-American Polka Music in Poland [60]

I like some Polish, rap. I also enjoy listening to British Grime music. Rap has in general been produced by the disenchanted youth in run down areas, a music of rebellion. I would like to distinguish between the P-Diddy, Puff Daddy American glam rap consumer rubbish and the rappers from the street. Black music especially rap is and was very important for many young Polish men, they can identify with the messages put forward. I know all the Christian right wing nutters are going to jump on me but who cares. There are lots of talent young rappers coming out of the Polish underground.

Life / The Polish people have a strange attitude to cats and dogs? [84]

why homeless people like to have dogs? One guy noticed that people don't want to give him money for food but they eagerly give it to his dog...

In the UK you can claim extra benefits if you have a dog.......

Language / Polish - individual classes or course? [15]

There is an English language School in Sopot, google it. Plus Sopot is a great place to live, if you can afford it.

Love / POLISH GIRL I REALLY LIKE, BUT she says we have no future [54]

polish women can often seem direct when the speak English, which is honestly refreshing at list she hasn't strung you along. move on and be happy. love will find you, not you it.

My wife was and is always direct when she speaks, which is great because you know exactly where you stand.

Life / Expats in Poland - would you fight for your new country? [105]

On UK TV, it was once stated that no two countries which have branches of McDonald's go to war with each other. That can't be true...can it? Nothing would surprise me these days.

This theory is now defunct

Life / How popular is Radio Maryja in Poland? [163]

What about those who disregard direct orders from the Church as regards abortion, homosexuality, remarriage after divorce, contraception and conceiving babies in test-tubes? And those who fail to make their Easter duty (go to confession and receive the Eucharist during the Easter season) have effectively self-excommunicated themselves. That is the minimum requirement to remain a Catholic in good standing rather than a lapsed Catholic.

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID......

Once again for those that haven't seen the light, belief in 'God' is a mental illness, it is a relusion.

News / Polish Foreign Ministry 'prepared' for new Wikileaks material [100]

let's not confuse illegitimate dictatorial regimes with America, 'the land of the free

Clearly you have never read any Chomsky.

The US military bases are there precisely to defend human freedom and democracy world-wide

@Polonius3, I have been reading your posts and you live in cloud cuckooland, absolutely and utterly brainwashed.

there has never been so benevolent an 'empire' (if you insist on calling it that) as the good ol' USA.

UK, Ireland / The more subtle differences: Ireland/Britain v Poland [310]

Unfortunately not, more like the cross and blackwell brand, but very good. They also had some other goodies. The best thing is to check on line, when Lidl has its british week. otherwise they might not be in stock.
