Love / Why am I so sad about the fact that Polish guys are so good [11]
I agree with you, Felicity. Not only because I am one of those lovely Poles. You must know that there arn't that many of us left, would you belive? Certainly on this forum. And my eyes are blue, so you would get your "twinkles" from me in blue, not green. Even better right? As some have suggested here, we Poles do tend to repeat ourselves. So, whenever you ask me if I love you, you won't just get a 'Yes' for an answer. It will be Yes, Yes Yes, Yes, or even Tak,Tak, Tak,Tak...which may put your mind to the themes of traditional, rural Poland, where they use many 0... tractors, which give similar sounds.

The reason why more Polish women marry foreign men, is because western men look better for the same par. Average PL guy is no good for export, anywhere west of us.

Girls always look for what is comfortable first! Not just in Poland. UK is the same. Generally, the thicker the girl the less likely to want a foreign man. Also, all ladies like their men to be confident , full of energy, plans, and able to stand his ground to other men. Foreign men are none of that, regardless of country

Well, have it your way, and I shall join in. But I cant help feeling mazurek is a jerky battle cry, thin on love and wisdom, musically whimsical. And its not like we dont have better Polish songs. Still, I agree it maybe wrong to change it. Oh yes, about Napoleon, looked great in paintings, but in the end after being beat to rat-s@$!, even his prison escapes didnt go right. Some "Dal nam przyklad" .. Da!!

Just ask young people to tell you who Dabrowski and Czarnecki were, next time you are in your local shop. You are allowed to pick your age group. And see what you hear. I'm not making a big point, but it seems to me that "Boze cos Polske" would suit better. It contains a very apt, poetic and moving reference to God, and the melody is a altogether seems a better fit.

Mazurek Dabrowskiego remains an unconvincing choice for the anthem. Music: the pace is too fast and mazurek's tempo somewhat undignifyingly jumpy. Most highschool leavers in Poland, as most ordinary citizens have no idea who Dabrowski was, and less still Czarnecki. And Bonapart was first beaten by Rusians and then by the British, so showing us "the way to victories" is a startling error.

And the expats keep on sensing thadvantage and remain outisde.

Self help groups could help. But such grass roots initiatives are not part of the preordained 'social model' for Poland, and would require a blessing of a ' secret council'. And without being laced with an anti-church 'agenda' most likely wont get any funding.

A leaflet goes a long way. Say, you want to register a new car. In UK a leaflet ( i imagine) will tell you ALL you need to bring to complete registration. In Poland, some person will tell you that you need for example, an inspection. When you bring it, another person will tell you that your inspection has something missing in it, which the 1st petson forgot to tell you about. You come again, with the right inspection, to be told that you also need a proof of purchase. When you bring that, they will tell you that your proof of purchase is missing a date, or some PSEL number of the previous owner. And all this time no one in the car reg office thinks to take any responsibility that instead of one you have already made 4 visits, waiting your turn each time, sitting on a plastic chair in a long line. Rather than feel themselves responsible to give you full set of information, at the outset, they just shrug their shoulders and mutter among themselves, that you must be stupid not to know what's seems "obvious" to THEM. BTW, I had to visit that office 16 times! ( I counted), each time having yet something else missing, or not quite right. In the end, I sat on the doorstep and wepped like a child, feeling sorry for myself for beeing treated with so much contempt in my town of birth, through no fault of my own. Now I know why so much effort is going to extricate UK from EU. We are so different. People in EU had never thought to cultivate among themselves, the enjoyment to please another. Basically, you want something from me? You are scum already. This is so sad, and I wonder if could ever change.

I think I was misunderstood. Im not against RM or PIS at all. And not have strong feelings on politics. I just wish Polish system of authority was less Top-Down only. When I lived in UK I often wrote letters to my local MP and got numerous replies, addressing local issues. Here, in Poland, where I live in Kujawy its hard to figure out who IS my MP, they dont answer phones, and seem uninterested in any inputs from voters. Coming back to my leaflet for returning Poles,at border points, it could warn about: severe lack of public toilets ( compared to US at least), dreadful quality goods being sold everywhere; difficulties with returning goods which fail, or are already faulty; highly elaborate processes involved with connecting your home to basic amenities; endemic blame culture in all public institutions; government offices and facilities offering poor service level, issuing wrong advice, then think nothing of it when people suffer consequences, unwilling to deal properly with complaints. All these, plus many, many others are not visible from outside. And my point is why not tell people coming back from English speakung world, in advance, that their homeland, culturally is still a fairly feral, and savage country.

Well at least a leaflet at the point of entry to warn returning Poles of pitfalls they should watch out for. Legal advise beauro where they can get direction, tips and internet resources etc. wouldn't go amiss, if we were to act as a sociaty caring for one another. Having returned after 30 years I would have appreciated something. Instead, there is nought. No tangible representation of people who issue the calls to come back. They just piddle off into the mist, at 4:00 pm.

...and fend for themselves, right? Watching Studio Polska I have learned of a number of expats who having returned to Poland had their business ventures derailed, money stolen, or even fallen victim to dodgy court rulings, without anyone offering any support. How typical of Polish mentality to make so little effort to back up their words with an effort. Talk is cheap. When jews return to Israel they get huge welcome pack. But we Poles just want you to come back so we won't need to feel jealous, plus you can vote for us. But if the 'big bad wolf' eats you, or 'Comanches' steal your money, then listen, we are really sorry, but now we must go back to watching TV because Ojciec Tadeusz is on - (one fine specimen of domestic entertainment). If there is one eternal thread to Polish character, that I have seen the world over, it is our permanent disolution of responsibility for one another.

Law / Threatened with Firearms in Poland - any law regarding this? [4]
I am a UK dual national of 27 years, living in Poland since 2016. Yesterday 10/08/2019,at around 14:00 I called at my neighbours home. His wife opened the door. I introduced myself and politely asked if I could ask her husband a question about car traffic along our road. Her husband jumped out from behind, started to shout at me the usual Polish vulgarities, and then threatened to shoot me with his firearms. He then, yelling at me, declared his intent to cut down my side of the hedge, and ordered me to leave his yard. That he had a problem with my hedge had not been brought to me before. I reported the matter to Police, since. His name is J.S, and he is known at the Police, Only not sure what manner of acquaintance. On Monday I was asked to call again, to make an appointment to file a complaint. Does anyone know if Poland has laws against threatening citizens with firearms?

One thing is certain, any prejudice you come across in Poland will be an odd stare, or a smirk from a child. An easy attitude, humor and smile should clear the way. Much, much worse than this kind is the prejudice or harassment which is well funded, secret and armed with the omni present surveylance. From that one black foreigners are free.

Not entirely sure about the Serbian connection to my story. Still, you may recall that during communism all psychiatric hospitals tended to be rather full. Both in Poland and in Russia. In many cases when perestroika came, many patients turned out to be perfectly healthy people, who had been "placed" there for their own political "good". The point I want to make is this. If you have enough information and a few secrte minions yo stage your events, its very easy to make someone feel persecuted, without having to wait for any real psychotic symptoms.
