News / Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If? [116]

Drac90, do you really want to talk about freedom to me, when I meet Polish youths everyday, who say they're really happy to be here for a while, because back in Poland someone's always talking fire and sin, or preaching about the rules when they don't conform to their norms? Yes, to you it may seem like some people are free to believe in what they want, but let me tell you that most of these people who really do, only socialize with the other scapegoats who have the courage to be themselves, because the rest will stigmatize them socially. (Conformity.) I don't hate these people who stigmatize us out of peer pressure, because deep down, I know they would like to be free. I've had to deal with this my whole youth, but I'm happy to tell you they're rapidly turning into a small minority here. There's a choice, follow your own heart, and hope others will follow their own heart aswell, or be a sheep and follow the shepherd, and live in fear. (Free to believe my ass!) I'd feel sorry for any person who has or had to live like I had to live though! But the good news is that you will always find a few people who think like you, and those people will also find more people who think like you. Untill one day, you'll see that people like you became the majority. (Which will happen eventually, because it's becoming more and more obvious who's lying.)

Anyway, let's give this discussion a rest for now, because I think Crow wanted to discuss the possibility of Poland becoming a new world power. (Honestly I can't see it happening anytime soon though!)

News / Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If? [116]

Drac90, I'm afraid the money goes straight to the Vatican. You don't have to provide those links for me, because as I've already stated previously, I'm not denying the fact that a few Priests and Nuns actually did something for their own country. But that doesn't change the fact that the Roman Catholic Church as a whole has always supported tyrants when it was beneficial for them. (Just read your history books!) I think you need to understand I'm not against individuals here, but that I see the institution as a whole as morally corrupt. (Okay?)

News / Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If? [116]

Drac90, yes, but ofcourse that doesn't change the fact that the Polish Roman Catholic Church supports the Vatican financially. Now think about that for a second before you actually defend an institute which obviously isn't acting in your best interest. Like it or not, you're defending the Vatican when you're defending their Churches. (It's tricky business, I know!) Dtaylor, maybe you're right about that, but then again a few disappointments in life will not stop me from enjoying the ride!

News / Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If? [116]

Drac90, for your information, local priests support the Vatican. (Or have they stopped calling themselves Roman Catholics all of a sudden?) Drac90, okay. Now you're being objective. I'm not denying the fact that a few priests and nuns actually did something for their own country, but it's not the Roman Catholic Church as a whole. (Even your Catholic Church.) It's not the Pope who saved Poland on his own, and that's what I meant.

News / Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If? [116]

Drac90, relax, I obviously don't like the Vatican, and for good reasons, but that doesn't mean I'm going to kill you because you disagree with me. You have your opinion, I have mine, and I can live with that. Just keep in mind that Lech Wałęsa and many other Polish people have done a lot when they began with Solidarność. (Dtaylor, yup, I know one Polish girl who has this natural talent, among other natural talents!)

News / Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If? [116]

Drac90, the Vatican fought off the Germans? Don't make me laugh! If you want to put your trust in people who have smuggled Nazi's to Argentina, then be my guest. Ofcourse you can give credits to Karol Józef Wojtyła for speaking to politicians, but don't forget Lech Wałęsa has done a lot for Poland when the Vatican wasn't there, and don't forget how other countries pressured the Soviet Union either. My point is that the Vatican itself will kneel to tyrants whenever it benefits them. History doesn't lie.

News / Poland could emerge as new European and world power. If? [116]

Crow, you should dump the Vatican. They've betrayed Slavic people in the second world war, and they will betray people again if they feel it's necessary. Just look at our history, and look at the facts. We don't really need these Nazi-supporting child-molesters to tell us what to do anymore, and if the people in the Balkans are smart, they would simply agree with us. You can't trust the Vatican. Ever. They only want power and influence, and they don't care about the people. Remember that.

History / Should visitors to Auschwitz pay an entrance fee? [82]

Fine, I don't need the education anyway, but apparantly some of the residents do.

Life / WHY DO POLES USE ENGLISH WORDS IN CONVERSATION? [396]

Yeah! Don't they know it will bring about the end of the world when you're young and trying to be creative?

History / Should visitors to Auschwitz pay an entrance fee? [82]

I wish they wouldn't, but it seems some people forget it everyday.

History / Should visitors to Auschwitz pay an entrance fee? [82]

No, visitors to Auschwitz should never pay an entrance fee. (Out of respect for all the victims.) It's basically a graveyard, so I don't think you should charge people to see it. Besides, I believe education should be free for all. Maybe we should all consider a collective EU fund for memorial sites like Auschwitz?

Language / I need advice - how long does it take to learn Polish? [70]


Now, now! Be nice to the poor old geezer? (It's not his fault he's getting a bit slow and senile these days!)

Love / Are Polish men romantic and caring or... "plain"? [85]

You could be plain romantic and caring too you know..
In the bag!

Love / Are Polish men romantic and caring or... "plain"? [85]


Yeah, but then again most girls I've seen going around town seem to like the ''men'' who have (Or have had.) two women, or three women, or five! (Or twenty!) because all those guys who didn't (Or don't!) can't be nice to be with, right?

Two words: Women. Logic.

Yes, very mad!

Love / I'm from Argentina, but I want to meet this Polish Girl.. [20]

Yeah, and I could be the Easter Bunny! No really!

Love / I'm from Argentina, but I want to meet this Polish Girl.. [20]


True, you should always be careful, but he's talking about a girl who showed him her parents while they were talking to eachother on the webcam, which means she already informed her family of the possibility of a foreign boyfriend, which means she could be serious about him.

Just saying!

Love / I'm from Argentina, but I want to meet this Polish Girl.. [20]

Well, first things first? Go ahead and see what happens when you meet her!

In the meanwhile, you should already do some research for yourself to see if she'll able to obtain a Visa. (It might depend on what you earn aswell?) For example; What kind of qualifications does she have? What kind of courses could she do in Argentina to learn the language, or courses to improve her chances of finding a job?

If everything works out between you two on your first meeting, you should keep in touch and see about a second time, and if she really thinks she wants to move to Argentina for you, then atleast make sure you have some answers for her.

You can't expect people to throw themselves into the deep. You should really ask yourself if you would mind to live in Poland, because family seems to be really important to some Polish girls, and you never know if she might get homesick after a while. (Hey, such things happen!) Don't let me discourage you or anything, just make sure you're really certain about all of this. It'll be better for yourself, and for the girl aswell if you're prepared for anything.

Just stay positive, and see what happens when you meet her!

Love / I'm from Argentina, but I want to meet this Polish Girl.. [20]

I'm just saying you shouldn't expect too much untill you can say for certain that you two really like eachother after you've met a few times, and before any of that happens, you shouldn't invest or even risk everything for someone who might not turn out to be the one for you. Just ask yourself a few questions. Do you want to live in Poland? Will you be able to obtain a Visa? Will you be able to find a job in Poland? Are you learning Polish already?

If you can answer those questions with a yes, then you should meet her a couple of times when you have the money, and see how it goes. If you're not certain about your answers however, then you might aswell find a girl closer to home. I'm not going to tell you what you should do though, because she could be the love of your life.

Good luck!

Love / I'm from Argentina, but I want to meet this Polish Girl.. [20]

I think there are many girls who seem nice on the internet, and a few really might be nice if you get to know them, but I think it's much better to meet someone in real life. There's always something you don't really know about eachother..

Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear!

I know, I'd prefer a milkshake aswell.

Now, where's that crazy cow when you need him?

Genealogy / Polish person's average height? [210]


The average height for Dutch women would be 170,2 cm (5 feet and 7 inches.) between the ages of 25 to 34. (Fully grown adults.) I'm 176 cm, but I see many Dutch girls who are about the same height, or slightly taller than me. (With heels on most of them will be taller though!) So if I had to guess I'd say that 60% could come close to the truth.

Love / SHE'S 25, HE'S 85 (Polish actor Andrzej Łapicki) -- ANY FUTURE? [82]


Then why bring it into this? It's like comparing apples with strawberries.


If they both had health problems I'd understand. If your partner suddenly fell ill I'd understand. If you're going to date an old man who could've been your grandfather, and he's wealthy aswell, I'm going to call you a dziwka. (Which doesn't mean I'm going to treat you as a horrible person mind you! Just calling a peach a peach here!)


My argument was that it is unnatural. Which it is. (I gave you a full explanation as to why it's unnatural, so be my guest to say that it's natural for twenty five year old girls to marry eighty five year old men who can't even be active anymore.)


I'm going to die next year. I'm poor aswell. Will you marry me? Anyone? No? Thanks for illustrating my point!

;P


You can meet and socialize with people without having much money aswell you know, especially when you're a student.

;)


Always!

;P


I never said she was worthless. (If you've read all my posts, you would've seen I've defended prostitutes very often!)

;)


Maybe his love really is blind when he takes off his glasses? Maybe she just thinks it's cute to change his diapers? Or maybe she thinks his dentures sound funny when he talks? Maybe she thinks it's cool to tell her friends that her boyfriend used to know famous actresses like Beata Tyszkiewicz? Alright, alright, I'll admit that's too far fetched! It must be his awesome, god-like sexdrive! Right?

Love / SHE'S 25, HE'S 85 (Polish actor Andrzej Łapicki) -- ANY FUTURE? [82]


Can you show me where it says that she is dying of cancer? And even if she is dying of cancer, there are many young guys who are dying of cancer aswell, and they're probably more attractive and active than this old man.


She would not have met this man while actively socializing with people around her age.


Oh really? Well, why is it that these old guys always are wealthy then? Why do I never see a young woman with an old guy who's poor?


Well, I'm glad you see my point. It's better than defending old men who use young girls, because if you thought it's only the girl I was having a dig at, then you're mistaken. Oh, and where did I say it's always the woman's fault?


Where did I say women are always bad and nasty?

:)


True. I don't mind being with a girl who's like ten years older, and I don't mind a guy being with a girl who's like ten years younger either, but a gap of sixty years is just taking the **** and you all know it.

;P

Excuse my Dutch.

Love / SHE'S 25, HE'S 85 (Polish actor Andrzej Łapicki) -- ANY FUTURE? [82]


I don't know these people, but I do know what's wrong with the picture.


How and where do you think she met this man? Tell me that and I'll answer your question.


The fact that there are plenty of handsome, nice looking, well-mannered, honest, decent, hard-working guys of her own age out there who have to remain single because it's fashionable for rich old men to buy themselves another working-class trophy. (Not speaking for myself there!) The fact that this man can't even make love to this girl without Viagra. The fact that this man might die tomorrow. The fact that this man can't expect to be there for this girl. The fact that this girl is still very young and needs to be active, she should socialize with guys and girls around her age, because it's natural and healthy to be active at the age of twenty five. This man can't be as active as a young man. Girls her age usually look for a healthy, strong man who can be expected to take care of things and look after her when she needs him to.


I'm sure you're clever enough to know that there's a world of difference between things you can, and can't expect? At the time she has met this old man, she could not have expected to live a life with him. The situations you describe are possibilities, but I'm talking about simple expectations. (Which are so totally ******* obvious if you'd ask me!)


No, because that's different. Anything could happen, and nothing is certain, we all know that. But you can't honestly tell me that this girl could've expected to be with this guy for a few years at the time she met him.


I'm not going to marry someone who could've been my grandmother for money anyway. Not even if she had millions.

:)

History / The Polish Blame Culture! [330]


Ofcourse, but then again the same can be said about every other choice that has been made in the past. For example, your father could've decided not to have children, which would've meant that you wouldn't have been here. I guess I just mean to say that you can't really use the second world war as an explanation for every choice that has been made in the past.

:)

Love / SHE'S 25, HE'S 85 (Polish actor Andrzej Łapicki) -- ANY FUTURE? [82]


I can, but we all know this is about money. You can't tell me this is natural. You can't tell me that this girl can honestly expect to be with this guy for years. (At his age, he might die tomorrow, and we all know that!)


No, a young girl who's marrying an old man who might die tomorrow, that's pathetic. I know girls like older men, because they think they're more experienced, or better in bed, or more mature, but this old man is anything but mature, because he obviously doesn't feel responsible for her emotional well-being in the long run.


You're right, I don't sell myself for money.

:)

Love / SHE'S 25, HE'S 85 (Polish actor Andrzej Łapicki) -- ANY FUTURE? [82]


I guess I'll have to wait with dating for another 56 years? Seriously, if all the girls were going to be as stupid as she is, then we should go ahead and write a book about the extinction of Europeans, and call it Birth Rate Zero.

:)

History / The Polish Blame Culture! [330]


It's important to remember, and ofcourse new findings and conclusions should be discussed at any given time, but why blame people who aren't responsible? I myself for example, am very proud of the Dutch soldiers who fought really hard to keep the Germans out, but I'm not so proud of all the Dutch people who joined the NSB, or even worse, the SS. However, I'm not responsible for what the old folks did. It doesn't make you a hero because your grandfather or grandmother opposed or even fought the Nazi's. It doesn't make you a better person when you hold a teenager from today's Germany responsible for the second world war either.

I'm right and you know it, so **** another discussion about who's to blame. Stalin and Hitler were to blame, and ofcourse all the people who served them were to blame. Most of those people are dead now. It's important we all remember though, and even more important to learn from it, and hopefully some people realize that it all started with blaming other people, so let's not do that again?

:)

Love / SHE'S 25, HE'S 85 (Polish actor Andrzej Łapicki) -- ANY FUTURE? [82]


I don't think any self-respecting young man will want to date her after she becomes a widow though, but I'm sure she'll be able to find another old geezer who doesn't really care about her.

:)

Yup, she should be really proud of herself!

History / The Polish Blame Culture! [330]

To keep a long story short, I don't think anyone can blame anyone these days anymore. I mean, who on this forum for example, can honestly say that he or she fought in the second world war? I certainly can't, and most of you can't either. So what are we talking about?

;)
