Life / Why oh Why do Poles drive so incredibly poorly [100]


They are certainly the worst in Europe.Even worse than the French and Italians.

News / Modern F-35 bought by Poland. Good decision? [288]

@Torq

Yes, Russia has very little to be proud about.
Their country is diminishing whilst Poland grows.
At this rate, in a few years time, Russia will be more frightened of Poland than the other way round....
Serbs please take note.... Warsaw, not Moscow.....

News / Modern F-35 bought by Poland. Good decision? [288]


Agreedl completely.


Nato can deal with it. The RAF have ordered over a hundred.of these planes and the USAF has hundreds of them.
Russia can not respond and survive.
Serbs please take note..... you will be on the losing side....

News / Modern F-35 bought by Poland. Good decision? [288]


Opinions are very mixed on the plane.
The RAF have ordered loads of them.
In my opinion though, overall, it is a very good plane.

Language / What is your biggest problem with Polish language? [158]

@pawian

Try this one;

The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.

Language / What is your biggest problem with Polish language? [158]

Frogs legs only and snails and horsemeat.

Frog legs are just like chicken wings but blander but snails and horsemeat are good.

Genealogy / Second gen Polish-American with little exposure [45]


Agreed.
But I got the impression that the OP wanted to learn more about his/her grandfathers time and would be better off talking to older people who, more often than not, cannot speak English.

Genealogy / Second gen Polish-American with little exposure [45]

Yes, the problem is that the youngsters may speak English but they won't be able to tell you enough about history.
The old folk have that knowledge but most of don't speak English.
It is tough.

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]

Hey Crow!

I prefer you when you talk about food rather than all the other stuff!

Don't.
You are making me hungry.

News / President Duda rules out homo marriage in Poland as banned by the constitution [172]


Because marriage is much more than just a legal contract and for thousands of years has been between a man and a woman.
Not two men or two women.
Why should 2% of the population be allowed to ruin an institution that has served us well for so long?
A severe case of "The tail wagging the dog".
Marriage is primarily for having children.
Gays can't do that.
I am also against gay adoption, which is nothing short of child abuse.
What is wrong with a legally binding civil partnership?
In the UK some hetero couples are now opting for that instead of marriage, largely when they don't want to have kids.


You are not seriously comparing sexuality to race or religion?
They are three completely different things.

News / President Duda rules out homo marriage in Poland as banned by the constitution [172]


I didn't know that.


Because it makes a mockery of marriage.


Being gay cannot be compared to a race or religion.

News / President Duda rules out homo marriage in Poland as banned by the constitution [172]


They can have all that in a civil and legally binding union!


It is a lot less than 10%.

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]

I am afraid not.
But in general I find most cuisine from the former Yugoslavia very appetising.

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]


I would eat it.


Very true.

News / President Duda rules out homo marriage in Poland as banned by the constitution [172]

Can I add, that I have nothing against gay people.
I just think that it is wrong to normalize something that is not normal or even that common.
What percentage of the population is 100% gay?

News / President Duda rules out homo marriage in Poland as banned by the constitution [172]


Why is there this huge obsession amongst liberals for giving gay couples ( I cant do that LGBT nonsense) the same rights as straight ones?
I thought marriage was mainly about having children.
Gay couples cant do that.
So what is the point?

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]


Me too.


Uk kebabs, you have to know where to go.
Central north London where many Greeks and Turks live you get the best kebabs.
German are very good too, so much so that there is now a German kebab chain in London.
As for Tikka Masala, that is Anglo Indian cuisine, you won't find it in India.
Proper Indian or Pakistani cuisine is excellent, along with Sri Lankan ( which is slightly different and even spicier than Indian).

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

You are right.
Here in the UK we have gone more the hybrid route for now but the charging ports are springing up all over London.

Nah...........

Off-Topic / To ALL IMMIGRANTS ("expats") to Poland on this forum... [124]


That is all you can expect from these extreme right wing nationalist russian loving Serbs.
They learnt from their Russian "brats", who would incidentaly drop them as soon as they stopped being "useful idiots",
How to use propaganda....

Each to their own tastes.... I hate herring whichever way you prepare it.
My families method, I think, was doused in oil and vinegar and served with raw slices of onion.
I still enjoy raw onion, but the fish makes me want to throw up......

This is true.
British food has a few gems and is pefectly edible, I think that Polish cuisine is on a par with British.
Maybe slightly better, but not much.
Look at North European cuisine.... Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Norway, Sweden. Finland, Estonia,Latvia, Lithuania, Poland.....bland, bland, bland......
Go to Hungary, the former Yugoslavia, Greece, Spain and Italy and it is more exciting cuisine..

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]


Yeah, the cities are better,but some of the "ethnic" restaurants are really naff, compared to other european cities..... a few are pretty good, I will admit, but not that many Poles eating there.


Yes they are.
But not the majority.
But it will happen.

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]

Yes, but it is true of most Poles that they are not very interested in foreign cuisine.
Poles are like Brits in the fifties.... not very experimental.... it will change over time...

Fair enough, but my post was correct, as your comment implies......
