Work / English teacher from Turkey, have any chance to work in Poland? [71]


Don't give up so easily. A little optimism goes a long way. If you go and live in Poland you don't know what will happen. In the mean time why don't post on this forum? It'll give you a chance to practice your English and get some info on Poland.

Get out of the EU than. But could Poland govern itself without supervision by the EU?

You guys. Leave those spiders alone! They're your friends. They're predators who will keep your place clean of vermin if you let'em be. I have plenty of spiders in my place. I usually find'em in the bathtub getting a sip of water. When I do I just get a tissue, pick 'em up and drop 'em off behing the wall. They survive and keep the place clean of silverfish, bedbugs, all kinds of nasty insects. Works like a charm. BTW a few cobwebs don't bother me.

It's difficult if not impossible to maintain your culture when living in a foreign country. You change, your host country changes and your native country changes. It's no different if you are an American in Poland, the longer you stay the more you lose touch with your country. Nothing stays the same.


In time they'll assimilate. If not them certainly their children.

Move to Poland. Learn the language. Eat the food. Contribute to Polish Society. Poland needs people like you. They're asking for people to return, someone mentioned that Poland is offering people money to open businesses in Poland. Reading the posts on this forum convinces me that you can make a go of it economically in Poland.

Love / Polish Girl Doesn't Want To Touch. [240]

I think it's obvious that she needs three hots and a cot and he's looking for a piece of bum. She needs a women's shelter. But being Polish in America, too independent, too stubborn, too ignorant, whatever to look for any help. School of hard knocks.

F-Stop what the law says, "it isn't a gamble". Both parties have contractual obligations.


Marriage is not archaic. Everyone is not a type "A" personality well salaried professional.

government and law is about preventing the strong from taking advantage of the weak. Without the law society would revert to the Middle Ages where might meant right. And we'd have a bunch of fiefdoms with private armies running around and ruling with the sword.

"You Can't Go Home Again" by Thomas Wolfe

The title comes from the finale of the novel when protagonist George Webber realizes, "You can't go back home to your family, back home to your childhood ... back home to a young man's dreams of glory and of fame ... back home to places in the country, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time - back home to the escapes of Time and Memory."

Where you in the States when Lee Marvin the actor was sued by his live-in for alimony when he dumped her? The courts ruled that his live-in was a legitimate marriage and he owed the money. He owed her financial support.

Marriage prevents men from impregnating women and than leaving them destitute.

If your moving to China learn the language, know something of the culture, enjoy the food, find yourself a Chinese wife. I'd recommend the same if moving to Poland. The "genes"? Hitler devastated Poland over "the genes". Please yourself and read "Democracy in America" by Tocqueville.

In search of the perfect state...roots of Nazism.

It was no different from years past. All one needs to do is read a Dickens Novel. Men would take off in a sailing ship and never return. Women would die in child birth. Wars would devastate entire villages and communities. Yeah, there are and have been nuclear families but there always have been plenty of blended families throughout history. Nothing new.

Yes, marriage is a legal contract and your legal obligations develop whether you're married in Church or Court or live together. Sometimes love has nothing to do with it. It's to keep the rich from taking advantage of the poor or the strong from taking advantage of the weak.

Love shouldn't be this difficult. Sometimes a guy has to learn to walk away from those who don't love and learn to love those who do love.

Well, ya gotta start some place. But for now? Coal fireplace. It's romantic too.

Life / Cold winter in Poland this year - Gas Shortages as of Late October [32]

Reason for the post: Why is Poland purchasing nat gas from the heavy handed Ruse-ski's after what they did to the Ukraine in what was it, 2008? Cutting off their gas supply. Looks like it's going to be a cold winter.

Better to start using what Poland has, coal and agriculture. Coal gasification plants and build anaerobic digesters from agricultural waste which would generate methane for your gas lines.

Well, first off it's American polaks or polish person. Pole is never used in America as pole has too many different connotations in the English language. Too many jokes can come from "pole".
