People shouldn`t play such tricks

Polish people don't as they are pretty much a no nonsense bunch and very superstitious.
Americans on the other hand don't take life as seriously as the Polish do.
Back on topic please.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

Do you think I can trust it?

The commercial stuff like Silver Floss is to salty and Franks is to sweet.
I buy my from an old Polish farmer who makes up a hundred gallons at a time in the fall and sells it.
I freeze it up in quart bags.
I know a cup of it's juice alone is a miracle cure for constipation.
You can definitely trust it for that. Oh yi yi !

It may be a surprise to learn that whole wheat bread, homemade soup or a chopped apple also are processed foods.
Everything in moderation.
French fries are the worst food, sauerkraut is the best food generally speaking.

I got tired of my alma mater begging for money so I did a return to sender as deceased.
It worked.

there are few other public servants who get that kind of cash !

You are clueless to what kind of cash is involved say in just the University of Michigan football program alone.
First off the football stadium seats over 115,000 people at an average of $100 per ticket per game for the season.
Done the math yet ?
Add in $50 to park your car and another $50 to tailgate and the money they rake in from the concession stands on food and Michigan football hats and jerseys.

Then add in the t.v. royalties. $$$$$
A coach has to be good to produce a winning team to pack the stadium which the University Michigan has been sold out of all tickets for every game year after year.

Now the expenses are unbelievable.
The U of M will spend over $100,000 JUST on ankle tape in one season for example.
If you want to get an idea how big this place is just google "The Big House".
That's why these coaches get paid so much.

Those full ride scholarships can total up to well over $300,000 US over four years of college.
A lot of college players get injured and never make it big time and if they do it usually is a very short career because of injuries.

isn't it awful that the head coaches of college teams get paid

Google and see what the coach for the University of Alabama (Nick Saban) makes if anyone doubts you.

Professional sports suck today as the over paid players think they are little gods.
Most of them spend their millions foolishly to keep up their image of being the best.
My buddies and I watch college sports now instead as they are much more exciting and unpredictable.
March Madness for the College National Basketball Championship at the end of the season is the ultimate.
Those kids (18-21) do things that are humanly impossible sometimes.

Jesus!!

Are you referring to the same Jesus that died on the cross for your sins ?

How many goals did Lewandowski get?

Didn't say how many points he scored.
All it gave was Poland was led by Mateusz Ponitka (18 points) and Adam Waczynski (17 points) against the USA
It's not uncommon for a team to score 100 points and still lose the game in basketball.

The U.S. defeated Poland 87-74 on Saturday for seventh place at the World Cup.
Poland has yet to qualify but is expected to.

Off-Topic / DALMATIA - How much Poles love Dalmatia ? [123]

The Catholic Church declared abortion, among other things, a sin bar none.

This is where you are confused Rabbi.
Your brain has been poisoned.
It wasn't the Pope that decreed abortion (a.k.a. MURDER) a sin, it was God Almighty that said, "Thou Shall Not Kill".
Remember the burning bush ?

Today I am doing an experiment: the whole salmon and two chickens.

I can already tell you that the fish smell will ruin the chickens flavor.
From personal experience I have found that out the hard way.
I now have two smokers, one for fish and one for meat.

USA, Canada / Poles Living in the Chicago Area [343]

I didn't think the photo would get so much attention. I might post some more from around town:)

Please post more pictures of what Polish people must endure living in the jungle of Chicago to enlighten Crow and the rest of the world.

Anybody can see that is not a gun.

Really Doug ?
And how long did it take you to determine that ?
Long enough that if it was a gun you would be gasping your last breath.

When its dark everything changes, you better be ready for anything from these thugs.

Right on as these guys don't stay alive by being dumb or being caught off guard.
The only difference between you and them is that they have nothing to lose.

News / Poland's LBGT Seen as Dangerous Foreign Idea. [39]

Considered "perverted" by those at ideological odds with established religion

You just described the majority of Catholic Poland so I have to agree with you.

not human biology

Nonsense as it take a male and a female for biological reproduction.

not to become any more unglued andout of control than she already is

Exactly what the Polish voters will be saying as the title of this thread: Poland's LBGT Seen as Dangerous Foreign Idea.
You can have your personal opinion Lyzko and I am not arguing that.
What I am trying to tell you is that regardless of what the small minority here want, is that the huge majority of Catholic Poles, especially in the rural areas, believe that gay rights undermines the traditional values of Poland which will give PiS an added advantage come election time.

What is so perverted

Being Poland is a Christian Catholic culture..... men having sex with another man or a woman having sex with another woman is considered perverted.
That already has been established here a 1000 times now.
Since a huge majority of Poles are against LBGT and don't accept it........ it could have a major impact on the election.

Are you trying to trash my thread that obviously you disagree with ?
Every other thread about gays has been closed by your tactics.
There are nicer ways to show your disapproval.
Now please stick to the topic.

News / Poland's LBGT Seen as Dangerous Foreign Idea. [39]

Will the up coming election in Poland focus on the unpopular gay population.
Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has made hostility to gays a central focus of its campaign, depicting LGBT rights as a dangerous foreign idea that undermines traditional values.

The pride parade in the city of Bialystok in July was plagued with violence after anti gay protesters chased people through the streets and beat them.

Dirk you were right.
WARSAW (Reuters) - More than 1000 people took part in a pride parade in the central Polish city of Plock protected by a cordon of armed police as LGBT rights became a hot button issue in Catholic Poland ahead of a parliamentary election in October.

Food / British food products in Poland? [334]

I did check out earlier how many varieties of cheese

So did I and our sources disagree.
There are upwards of 1,000 types of cheese in the world, depending on the source you consult.
According to the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, there are 600 in Wisconsin alone.
And I agree Joker as I have bought all kinds of foreign cheeses and none of them compare to the Wisconsin cheeses.

Yes, thank you for your kind patience explaining that to me as I missed your post about you having a summer cottage in the Polish countryside.

I didn't understand that it was just a seasonal place.

In off-season months she lives with us in our apartment.

What happened to your farm house in the true countryside of Poland ?

I suggest grill it while the meat is tender.

And if it does get to big to grill they are great in a crock pot stew.

History / The reasons of Polish pride? [112]

I'm talking of actual enemy's army entering your teritory

I was talking about the apathy in America.
Guess we are talking about two different apathy's ain't we.

No, it wasn't, even remotedly, a reply to my answer.

Of course it was Z.

I asked why the battle was hopeless and got a reply that Texas won three years later.

Then I guess the battle wasn't hopeless if they won for what they were fighting for was it now.
Because of the battle a treaty was signed to make Texas a State so in essence the battle was won.
Ya trackin' with me here ?
You Europeans just don't get American terminology is the problem here.
It happens constantly on this forum that the Eurps want to split hairs precisely with terminology.
The conclusion to this came when Dougy posted that we must use proper British English terminology here to be acceptable and I said tuff s***, we Americans will use American English terminology so get over yourselves.

Any American would know exactly what I meant which is all that is necessary in my life.
You Europeans must google the Urban slang dictionary for hours after Dirk makes one of his wild posts in American English slang. lol
