Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]


Stop running ahead of the train.

These are things which can only be determined through empirical observation.

God willing, we shall have an opportunity to stage a live experiment.

Afterwards, you can tell all of us if your feeling of Russian patriotism has increased.

Until then - we wait.

You are lying.

Imagine tomorrow you are in Chita, beyond the Arctic Circle, in a general population penal colony.

Then I imagine your understanding of Russian will rapidly begin to exceed that of native born Russians.

Pawian, I will still teach you to love Russia.

Big question then - why do you understand and write in it so well?

I think something was lost in translation between Polish and Russian idiomatic language here...

What?!

To compare Johnny to Rich, as we say in Russia, is to compare the anal sphincter to the index finger.

I do not like Johnny, because:

1) He is a liar
2) A coward
3) An opportunist
4) A small, small human being.

Rich, on the other hand:

1) Has posted his passport photo
2) Volunteered to meet any as*hole that wants try kicking his ass
3) Got absolutely demolished for all his "open kimono" moments, by faggots that were too scared to reciprocate
4) He's still here.

One is somebody I would want to meet my future kids, the other is a guy I want to find in a quiet alley at night and provide a lesson in respect.

I actually agree. He's too smart to be a vanilla American.

He has that bit of bitter Eastern European flavor to him, whether he likes it or not.

Plus, the intelligence.

Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]


A true Slav respects only cold hard cash.

This can be hidden under a mattress, or inside a jar with other preserves.

None of these magical "credit" things.

Ask Poles that borrowed in Swiss Francs to buy their houses, how their acquaintance with "credit" went.

Our people are simply not prepared for this :)

Just as you constantly remind me that you don't give a f*ck if I will nuke you tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but just wish I would get it over with...

Nobody cares about Americans. Nobody cares about what you have in America. Maybe this is not politically correct - but nobody cares about how much America invests/provides - because it is assumed it's done out of self interest.

If you behave like a white Christian missionary disembarking off of a ship in Tonga or Fiji, people will treat you like an idiot.

On the most practical level - many people in Poland/Russia are simply much more wealthy and well traveled than you. Despite you having a $2M home the mortgage on which is underwater, and driving a BMW X7 which you are financing for $900 a month.

Russia and Poland are cash countries :)

Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]


It's the same with all "Eastern Europeans".

Some American will tell me, "Such a gloomy people. No smiles. No hellos. I feel so utterly lonely."

Then I go home, and I can't get my taxi driver, bank teller, or doctor to shut up for just a few moments of peace.

I think people there are just inherently suspicious, or simply not confident around foreigners.

Between locals: b*tching and moaning about everything is totally the norm.

The point is physical activity can take your mind off of depressing things.

Doesn't have to be sport. Can be chopping wood, clearing your driveway of ice, or working the garden.

Sitting on the floor and pouring ashes over your head is of course nice and desirable - but not everyone can do that, Paulina.

Even though I disagree with what you wrote in other threads, for this post I will commend you.

I have been writing here about our blood ties for years, and my only supporters are romantic Poles and crazy Serbians.

It's about giving a physical outlet for your grief.

Have you ever trained or participated in a sport for a long time? It can be amazing therapeutic.

This is the most honest guy on the forum.

I'm much more inclined to believe what he says, rather than your diatribes.

Coming myself from a country that's always accused of thievery, I have no sympathy.

Some people go and play basketball the next day after their father was murdered, and play the best game of their life.

Some people go into the boxing ring, the same night their mother died, and exhibit superhuman feats of athleticism.

The afternoon after the morning that my grandmother died I went on an overnight alpinism trip with my friend. I couldn't stand to be in the house, and the funeral was three days away.

@Alien

Sometimes I think I am too cold hearted :)

But you Alien, you make me feel not so bad.

Maybe Pawian is even more autistic than me, however. When Sralec had his skull bust open by some guys that did not appreciate his political views, Pawian said some things which were very funny indeed, but I would not allow myself.

We are all going to Hell for what we write here.

Robin, take care of yourself and be well.

News / The Political Circus of Poland [306]


Maybe more time has to pass.

After two years of making funny jokes about Russia's use of convicts, a few weeks ago Ukraine quietly started doing the same.

Can you imagine how Polish convicts will sh!t their pants when they are informed the next destination is Donbass? It will calm everybody else in Polish society that is considering to commit a crime.

1) Step 1: Create a private military company called "Chopin".

2) Railroad these 20,000 convicts into its ranks.

3) Train them to become stormtroopers.

4) Lease them to Ukraine, just as Renaissance-era Parma or Bologna would rent outs its condotierri to the Medici princes.

5) Ukraine throws them into the worst sectors of the front to soak up Russian attrition.

6) Result. No convicts. Tons of cash. A valuable ally has been supported. PROFIT.

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [91]

@pawian

Salt is sol' in Russian as well.

Honestly, not sure why it's called that.

If something has a lot of different things in it, Russians can call it a «сборная солянка». For example, if a team is made of students from different schools, you could call it a sort of solyanka.

So... it really means "a dish with a bunch of different sh!t thrown into it".

For example, look at this solyanka recipe which uses smoked meats. There's a billion items there:

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [91]


It is definitely my favorite soup. Not sure if "dish".

Also, very easy to create.

Food / Polish dishes with foreign origin in the name [91]


A lot of food that is very popular in Russia is actually Central Asian or from the Caucasus.

Try:

1) Samsy - the samosa's central Asian ancestor. Filled with meat and onions.
2) Plov - rice and meat and vegetables. Different recipes, Uzbek plov is considered the best by many.
3) Khachapuri - a kind of Georgian pizza.

Out of purely Russian dishes:

1) Okroshka
2) Solyanka
3) Bliny with meat or mushrooms
4) Uha
5) Schii

Please don't thank me.

Slowly. Cautiously. Like a cheetah stalking an antelope.


Man, I don't know wtf I'm doing writing to you. First I thought it was funny, now I feel like an idiot. You should stop being an idiot too - a Polish woman is still a woman.

A woman is a woman even on Mars.

There is more in common between a woman from Tanzania, and a woman from Poland - than there is between a man and a woman from Poland.

It's the same as for an Asian girl, except the opposite.

I don't believe I have.

Who are you in conversation with during these prayers and why is it vehement?

Is the Christ giving you a hard time?

Are you giving the Christ a hard time?

I argue enough with various human beings in my daily life, that I don't find it necessary to also argue with Christ.

But who am I to rain on your prayer tirades. Just don't be surprised if one day you hear a booming voice from above saying "Could you please keep your voice down?".

No reason to engage in public self flagellation here.

You have many demons you need to exorcise - I'm sure - but PF is not the right place to do it.

Spend your time, instead, in silent prayer.

When I was a small boy, I thought that Russian written in Latin letters was English.

Only when I became older did I understand that this was not English but Polish.
