My point is that your government obviously demands the adoption of the Euro from other countries who wish to join the Eurozone, while their own country doesn't even meet the criteria. And even if they did, they still wouldn't have the right to demand this from other countries, if they aren't prepared to adopt the Euro themselves.

As a nation, yes. (Due to sheer size.) Per capita? Sorry, but we contribute more.
No, it's typical to demand something from others, when you're not prepared to do it yourself. Very typical.
My beef is that I can't afford a house while I'm working for my money in a perfectly honest way.
Like it or not, but Great Britain also shoved the Euro down our throats.
Hey, I can't say I blame you, I would love to have my Gilder back aswell! I remember being part of our society about 10 years ago. Now I feel like unwelcome and alienated in my own country. I know some spoiled people will disagree with me because they don't know what it's like to live like this, but I call it financial oppression.
Still contributing more than the Dutch..

Love / Dating a Polish guy for three years. Will he ever marry me? [44]
Are you happy with him? Is he still with you? Has he ever cheated on you in those three years? From your posting, I get the impression you can answer all these questions with a no? So does marriage really mean more to you than being together with a guy you like being with?
Let me put it this way, if your only goal is to obtain financial security through marriage, then yes, you might be wasting your time. Who knows? But are you wasting your time if he likes you and you like him?
That's worth something, right? I mean, I know married people who have what they call open marriages, I've seen married couples who cheated on eachother, or who go to swing clubs because they bore eachother..

Life / Why are Poles in other countries called "Plastic Poles"? [168]
I'm not telling you that you can't be proud of where you're coming from. I'm just telling you that we're all human, with or without our current borders. I'm proud when I have my reasons to be proud, and I'm not so proud when I have reasons not to be. My nationality doesn't explain who I am as a person.
But ofcourse I'll be cheering when Holland wins the World Cup! It's just that I prefer to be objective. I can point out flaws in my own country, I can talk about problems when I feel the solutions can be simple. Which doesn't mean I'm a traitor.
If you're proud of your culture, fine with me, but you have two cultures to be proud of then. And what is culture? Culture always changes! Anyway, I'm proud of people who truly fight for what's right, and I don't care on which side of the political spectrum they're moving.
I'm not telling you anything. As far as I'm concerned, you're free to be who you want to be, if you allow others to be who they want to be aswell. Simple really. Just my two cents.
:)

Hey, no one can look into the future, and ofcourse he could always leave you when you're married aswell. You're obviously doing something right if you've been with eachother for three years already. So if you're both happy with eachother then why should you have to worry about splitting up?
Why don't you talk about living together with him? Maybe he needs to get used to the whole idea? (He's still very young, and you're his first girlfriend after all!) If it turns out he doesn't want to live with you then you should move on..

Genealogy / DeAmong, DeCroix - Finding a countess [15]
His name wasn't entirely French either. I'd say Adolph Gronland sounds Prussian. DeCroix would definitely be French, and I know we have that name in our family tree somewhere so that's without a doubt, a French Aristocrat. DeAmong doesn't sound French to me at all though. Nor Slavic. Are you absolutely sure about this name?

That's because one and the same tribe settled down in these regions in the past, and ofcourse their language evolved over time. I guess that's what I mean with real similarities and coincedental similarities.
Well, I think a lot of your examples seemed to be coincedental similarities. Some aren't though!
I can do magic (wordplay.) with words if I really want to. I love language. (I used to write funny punchlines and poetry a lot, but somehow I've lost my inspiration.)
Look at the world map. Slavic territory. Turkish territory. Slavic languages share a lot of similarities, and some Slavic tribes encountered the Ottomans. (There are probably better examples, but I can't help but to think of Vlad the impaler!)
:)
But these instances dont halt us from the fact that English "house", German "Haus", and Dutch "huis" are etymologically similar and no one has borrowed it from the others.

History / If i could write European history i would unite Europe under Polish language [67]
Yes, terrible. You should all speak Dutch.
It could be one of the oldest languages in Europe aswell. Know why? Because it was scientifically proven that our language is the only language on this globe which contains every possible sound the human mouth is able to produce. Other languages all lack a few sounds. (Look it up if you don't believe me!)
It's also scientifically proven our language stimulates the creative parts of the brain, because we use a lot of imagery in our language. Dutch is very creative, and there are literally hundreds of different ways to say the exact same thing. Even with single words. Polish is harder to pronounce, and technically, harder to learn. What makes Dutch hard to learn is our imagery and use of metaphores. Someone who thinks he or she has mastered Dutch will still not be able to understand a lot of things I say, because I would use funny and creative ways to say the same, but in a different way. It'll take most people atleast five more years to understand everything completely.
I wouldn't mind one language in Europe, but you know, it's the same as with the Euro. It won't work anyway. We all value our own identity. And honestly, isn't it much more interesting and funnier to experience different languages when you're on holidays? Variety is the spice of life and all that!

Maybe you should think about doing what we've done in Holland. Erect dykes and dig artificial side canals to create a buffer, and pump it out at the sea. It's not a stupid idea, especially not if you're going to look at the future.
Oh, and you really can't blame a few countries for the climate change. We still aren't certain if humans are causing it, but if we could say this with absolute certainty, then all of us would be equally responsible for that.
Tax payers shouldn't pay for eachother? Aren't you happy to help eachother out then? What if it happened to you tomorrow? Jeez, a bit of solidarity wouldn't hurt some of us, that's for sure!
Let's hope it stops raining for you guys, and I wish all of you safe travels. Be careful out there!
No offense, but that's ridiculous. As if Polish people never had heavy industry, as if Polish people don't drive cars?? You have my sympathy, but no, no blame. If humans are causing climate change, then I'm afraid all of us are equally responsible. I think it's better to focus on what can be done about it.
In some pictures things are looking grim indeed. I'm sorry for those people who have lost their homes. If there's any way volunteers from other countries could do something to help people, you should let me know, because I'm jobless at the moment! (I really wouldn't mind to shovel some dirt if you have a place for me to sleep!)

No, I don't mean reclaiming land or building below sea level. For your information, we also have created bufferzones (Artificial lakes.) and side canals. You didn't think we were pumping it out all at once did you? No, we need to redirect the water first. We have a word for it, we call it Water Management. I really think you guys should think about it, because I've seen some pictures, and it's not only caused by rivers, but also by the heavy rainfall in some areas. (Which means the water can't go anywhere.) I don't think it will stop raining in the future, so that's why.
