News / RHD cars in Poland - my campaign to change the rules in Poland [128]

I am English and I owned a RHD car while working in Germany for 9 years. On the Autobahn RHD is fine but when I drove in Poland on the A2 between the border and Nowy Tomasyl my RHD car was not good. You must overtake all the trucks that were on the motorway, you cant do this safely in a RHD car.

I now own a LHD car and I have no trouble driving it safely. I can swap from driving LHD or RHD and be safe at all times. Its very easy.

I understand why you need a RHD car and good luck with registering it. I just thought I would reply to those arguing that LHD is not as safe as a RHD.

Love / Met a Polish girl on the Internet, and I'm soon off to meet her... [82]

I met a polish girl on the internet too but it did not work out. She always went shopping when I arrived and always went straight to items she had seen before. When I stopped buying things she got a job. She would see me for 2 hours a day then work in the evenings.

I met a different girl who was working as a bar maid last september. I spend every weekend I can now in Lodz in her house, I am happy.

I put the first girl I met down to experience and moved on. I don't regret meeting the girl from the internet, take control of your life, don't just react to what life throws at you.

Go for it.

Love / I'm getting married to a Polish guy and need advice before visit his family; gifts, topics, customs [82]

I now know to eat small portions to make room for the 2nd and 3rd helpings.

Learn to say in Polish :-

good morning, good evening, please, thank you, excuse me, cheers and goodbye.

Its always good to be polite in the language of the country you visit.

It means literally "On your health" but is the same as "cheers" in the UK

Life / Do expats living in Poland speak Polish? [233]

Maybe if Americans learnt new languages and looked into other cultures around the world we would have less wars. If you Americans cant be bothered to learn foreign languages then stay inside your own borders, disband your navy and leave the world in peace.

I am learning Polish as I want to live in Poland. I dont want to be an EX Pat, I want to try and get Polish Nationality. I'm ashamed to be English now, UK has gone down the drain in the last 15 years.

You would have had to live there a while to understand :)


Sorry, it was in reply to the American rant earlier in the thread. I forgot to mention that bit

Life / Do expats living in Poland speak Polish? [233]

I know some Americans speak foreign languages, I have been there. I just wish they would stop starting wars that the stupid UK politicians keep tagging along on. The whole world does not want to live like Americans or the West.

I did not directly attack or insult any person, my post was aimed at the American Government not the average man in the street.

When I said "Ex Pats" I was referring to the ones who keep their English Identity while living in a foreign country. I will take my gf's surname when we get married and fully assimilate into Polish society when I retire.

You decided to insult ME. I will willingly accept an apology if you decide to give one.

If you knew something about me you would not have made those comments. I liked Poland before I met my girlfriend, I met her through trying to learn Polish as I want to move there.

Life / Do expats living in Poland speak Polish? [233]


You are not the most intelligent person I have ever spoken to.


You missed my point. I want to forget that I was born British. I don't like the country I was born in any more.

I am happy that you have assimilated, I was not attacking any one.

time means

I'm trying to understand what is so funny.

I hate my country!

Why is this funny?

You should be discussing the fact that its best to learn the language for where you will be living. I digressed slightly with the comment about the Americans but I commented on the subject of the thread too.

Now, If you have finished attacking my character, we can let the thread continue on subject.


It would take a while to explain so you understood.

I can try to forget the fact.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

Why do the Israelis still build more settlements in the "Occupied Territories" if its not a land conflict and they want peace?

Not all countries in the Middle east are Arab countries and not all Muslims are Arabs, there are also Christian Arabs.

The "normal" Muslims, Christians and Jews can all get along. The problem is the "extremists" of the 3 religions. They promote hate, the actual religions promote peace.

Also, from the 19 pages of this thread, I see that the majority of Polish don't hate Jews!!

Islam and Christianity have the same God.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]



How many countries are there in the Middle East?

I read the Quran. You take it to mean it does not promote peace just the same as the extremists do.

You don't read the Bible and take it all literally, the same with the Quran. Its all down to interpritation.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]


The Jews used Terrorism to get the State of Israel in the first place in 1948.

The Jews have blood on their hands too.

I don't care if someone is a Jew or a Muslim or a Christian, I just don't like extremists.

As I said earlier extremists, on which ever side, are the problem.

You are an extremist!!

1. Im no Liberal.

2. There is no way im an American.

3. Im not retarded and you have not enlightened me.

Allah talked to Gabriel. God talked to Gabriel. There is only 1 Gabriel.

Maybe Allah and God are the same and Mohammed or Mary lied?

No!! That did not happen because you said so.

I think you were looking in a mirror

I said nothing about my country being pure, or did I? If you looked at some of my previous posts you might understand how i feel about my country.

You said about Israel being attacked for 60 years, i wonder why they were attacked for 60 years?

That's what my post was about, open your eyes and remove your blinkers. Read what is written, work out what it means then write a post.

Insults show a lack of Vocabulary and culture.

Go and fight Hamas if you are that proud a Zionist. I wonder if you are too scared to use more than an internet forum?

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

I have stated a few times now that my country is just as bad as the rest of the countries.

I have also stated several times that I am not a liberal and for your information I have been and put my life on the line in a warzone.

If you wont fight for what you believe then just shut up about your cause.

Note! This is meant to be a place for discussions not for you to attack peoples character.

LOL

You have just shown how mad you really are.

You advocate other people use violence to keep the State of Israel safe but don't like violence.

DOUBLE STANDARDS

I don't like violence, I only said I had been in a Warzone.

Me too, they need to stop worrying about being called Racist and stop letting Islam take over every country in the world.

We must stick to their values and customs in Saudi Arabia so Muslims should stick to our European values and customs when Muslims live in Europe.

Note!! That is not a racist comment!!

I AM NOT FROM AMERICA

I'm not Anti-Semite either. I had a holiday in Tel Aviv and thought the locals and the food were very nice.

Palestinians think it is "Their" land. I never said it was their land. I did not criticize Israel, I pointed out to you the other side of the story. I have not taken any side except to say the Extremists on both sides are the only problem now.

I just read this article.

news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8379295.stm

Even this guy does not think Poland is Anti-semitic, I think this was the original topic.

(I wonder if the reporter actually did go to Lublin, Majdenek is in the city, why talk about a camp 30km from Lublin when there is one 5km from the centre??)

Fair point

Love / How many Polish men are Violent how much is domestic abuse reported. [129]

The Polish guys I know don't expect girls to act a certain way and they are not violent towards women.

They are all students though.

Real Estate / Foreigners can now buy houses in Poland [55]

How about getting credit? Do I still need a residence permit to get a mortgage in my Polish bank?

I'm looking to buy in Lodz, I want to live in the house, its not an investment.

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]



I must agree with BBut on this one. The Jews were not Philistines. The Ancient Greek word for "Land of the Philistines" was Palestine.

Like BBut said, Arabs moved into the area in the 7th Century. The British reused the word Palestine after the fall of the Ottomans. Then the Arabs were known as Palestinians.

BBut knows the History of this area well, you must read widely to argue with him.

That is very helpful. Where are you based?

Cheers

I was asking where you came from so I could meet with you and discuss things. My gf and I are looking in Lodz at properties, its the mortgage and legal side that we have trouble with.


I understood what he meant. Stay away from "Polish" people who speak English. Its nothing against the Polish, I would not take advice in any country from a local without checking it to see if it was correct.

I would recommend the same if you go to England, the English try to rip foreigners off too.

Have any of you been to Israel? There is a reason there are not as many suicide bombings anymore.

Its called very high security.


I think intolerance comes from a lack of education. The Media have a set agenda, you must know how to research subjects from every angle and not accept everything the newspapers tell you at face value.
