Law / Question about bureaucracy in Poland. [13]


Look at how that worked out for the Greeks.

Almost as suicidal as mounting a K9? Rottwieler's don't take kindly to that sort of behaviour, so I am told.

Come now my good man. This is more ambitious than, let's say, climbing a bloody mountain.... When climbing a mountain, one has an army of sherpas doing all the heavy lifting, unlike this accomplishment.

In recessionary times, the sudoku should be seen as half unfinished.

Here's to 50!

Genealogy / Vintage Photos of Polish ancestors [144]


Gene - Your age is showing. I remember as a kid going to downtown Toronto (before the Eaton's Center was built) to look at the Christmas displays they had in the storefront windows... How long has Simpson's been gone?

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]


Not in all cases. Slave labour and all. That and Wall Street doesn't really represent the "Best of America".

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]


As noted above, moving people is not the key to solving the population problem. Forced sterilization via "water treatment programs" is the key to ending the suffering of countless millions upon millions of the poor and starving populations of the world that can't seem to feed themselves.

Who makes good neighbors?


There is the answer.

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]


Now is that the cup half full or cup half empty perspective....

Your female black mate might be of the perspective that your combined offspring now can't jump as high as if she had mated with somebody closer to her own genetic make up.

News / American soldiers beat up in Torun, Łódź [141]


I would. They are more Polish than those who would abandon their homeland for opportunistic reasons. They live and work in Poland, pay taxes, speak the language, make Poland a better place. Or at least that's the argument I have seen put forth on other threads. :-)

Love / Behavioral study says Poland has the lowest sexual dimorphism [17]

Hmmm. The verbiage in the artical implies that Polish women are highly monogamous. Kind of flies in the face of what some around here would believe about their promiscuity, no?

Love / How can I meet a Polish lady for a serious relationship ? [45]

And even funnier how many people would agree with her.

News / What is the population of Poland's non-european minority? [142]


The wisest words ever from our resident forced multiculturist. I wish he would heed his own advice.

Genealogy / My dad's last name was Polak - Do I look in any way Polish? [57]

Who, the OP or EM?

USA, Canada / Texas Silesian Language [13]


Silesian babcia? If so, I learned something today.

I wonder if they use the word Busia?

Ducks....

UK, Ireland / Why can't unemployed Polish people on benefits just leave UK and go home please? [240]

So I take it you aren't part of the Welcome Wagon Committee. That and if they are really skint, they can't afford the plane ticket. Oh, and I think they like pissing off losers like yourself.

And I believe in the tooth fairy.

After that much voddy they are usually in a puddle on the floor. Not the best time to be making łupy.

Love / 'Seks po polsku' - the sex lives of Poles: [45]


Ha. Can't say I would agree with you on this topic. Southern on the other hand...

Can't wait for EM to chime in with something intelligent about something interracial.

Johnny, My Kaspersky Anti-Virus suggested the website may contain a trojan...

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]


Didn't mean to pry, (actually, I kind of did...) but I am interested in Personal Finances. I (with the fantastic support of the better half) do try to avoid unnecessary / unrealistic levels of debt. I was just interested in trying to understand the mindset of why somebody would be asset rich and cash poor. I always found it best to take a balanced approach. A nice stash of cash can go a long way when times are tough, or a financial emergency pops up. Having assets locked up like that can put you in a bind, as you pointed out when you stated:


What do you think drives them to maintain that kind of position?

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]


From your experience, are they carrying mortgages on these properties or are they owned outright through inheritance?

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]


Can you expand on this?

Life / Secrets of Poland - what makes it so special? [13]


This may not be the place to start, but could be one element to include in the event....

Make the toilets pay per use. All monies collected could go towards a charity that your organization supports.

History / Polish Officer in NATO, Col. Ryszard Kukliński. [145]


I can see that being moreso true in a volunteer army vs. conscript.

Honest question: What is the selection / vetting process to become an officer in a conscript army?

Love / More loveless sex of Poles living in the regained lands [73]

Oh to be young and single again....

History / Would you classify the Poland's Communist years as a "Soviet occupation" ? [221]


Quite a choice those governments all faced, actually: Recognize the non-democratically government, or put the combat boots back on, and go for a march to Moscow.

History / Would you classify the Poland's Communist years as a "Soviet occupation" ? [221]

So in that context, was he betrayed?

History / Would you classify the Poland's Communist years as a "Soviet occupation" ? [221]


Ah yes a subtle play on words, but I am sure any of the good teachers on here would point out that betrayed can be used as a transitive verb, in the context of being lead astray, of being seduced. And furthermore, in this context it is surely used as a synonym of back stab, double cross, or going back on. But you my dear Harry realized that all the time. :-)
