Seems all these Polish foods shown lack any fiber.
All grease, fats and sugars.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]


stream.org/time-wean-millennials-lies-socialism/#
All around the world with Venezuela recently topping the list as a failure.
Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy.
Even in the land of milk and honey like America Socialism is flurrying where the youth are sucking up Crazy Bernie.
Free free free but the Socialist don't know how they will pay for all the free things they want like healthcare, universities and etc.

Those lies........as someone has to pay for those things in the end.
Nothing is free.

Travel / American Visiting Polish Military Base. Issues? [13]

And to get back ON-Topic of the thread here.
It doesn't matter what country you are in including the Great United States of America, you aren't just going to be allowed to stroll into any countries military bases foot loose and fancy free without authorization and tight security clearances and still be only allowed in certain areas of it.


Then why would you think American military bases in Poland are any different ?

Travel / American Visiting Polish Military Base. Issues? [13]


That's because American's don't over stay their 90 days allowed stay time without a visa in Schengen countries like Poland.
(This has been explained very clearly now multi times here)
In fact so many Polish want to live in the Great United States of America that they abused the visa system merely to get a free ticket into America without any intentions of ever returning back to Poland again.

The United States of America Immigration finally said 'enough' and now require much more stringent visa measures to apply for entry to the Great United States of America, the Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free.

Now that we have explained that to the whiners that think Americans should be punished for a privilege that we do not abuse like they do we can hopefully put this one to rest once and for all.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

When you are young those things don't cross your mind.
Then all of a sudden you are there starting retirement with an old worn out body.
You don't realize the steady unending maintenance that you are able to do (self maintenance) on your home when you are young.
Especially one in the country where there is always something to repair such as a plugged septic tank or a broken water well pump.
Country living is a lot more expensive and inconvenient then city living.
The freedoms and privacy of country living come with a price.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

I have some pen pals in Poland that attend universities.
One of the most common complaints I hear about their instructors is that they demand to be treated like little gods.
You dare not to question them or disagree with them without fearing a failing grade.
Is this true that some ego maniac instructors use their authority to bully students in Poland ?

Where did you find that quote ?
The point here is that Putin is steamed at Poland's shun towards Russia.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]

Russia is angry at Poland over WWII anniversary snub.
Russia expressed anger Wednesday that President Vladimir Putin has not been invited to ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II in Poland later this year.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

It's not just the teachers in Poland that are under paid.


That's not what I said nor was my point.
What I said was:


Having such a strong union eliminates the culling the dead weight teachers.
I continued with my point as to not let this happen in Poland.
Good example of dead weight teachers are the not so brilliant ones that post anti-Christian and their Socialist Commie propaganda here all day.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

People that can do it, do it.
People who can't do it, teach it.
Educated people value educators, it's the to many worthless incompetent Liberal educators that I am talking about here.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]


Be careful and don't let what happened in the U.S.A. happen in Poland.
The teachers union has become the strongest union in the country.
So strong you can't even fire a useless teacher.
Their benefit packages have become absolutely ridiculous.


WoW - Three and one half back breaking classes a day !
And with weeks of holiday vacation off, summers off, personal days off, holidays off, seminars off, jerk off.........
Add up the actual hours these teachers work and divide their salaries into that.
AND then the benefit packages for life that drip with greed.
They have 100% free health care, dental care, prescription care, ridiculous pensions for life, 401k packages after retirement too.


Be careful what you wish for as once you get a worthless teacher in that union it is impossible to get rid of them.
The majority of the Liberal over paid teachers in the U.S.A. are worthless and not worth their weight in salt thanks to the teachers union.

Hope Poland takes a hard look at our huge mistake.

Therapy is where the money is.
"One recent survey shows 3 OUT OF every 5 MILLENNIALS (58%)...regard their lives more stressful now than EVER Before !"
The poor little Snowflakes graduate from their Politically Correct Safe Rooms without any exposure to REALITY what so ever.
They have always deserved a participation trophy stress free.
In Poland Daddy is required to pay their way until they are 27 years old isn't it ?
Slow Wi-Fi is more stressful then slow traffic to them.
A good therapist charges ten times what a teacher gets just to listen to these useless cry babies and pamper their hurt feels and stress.

And it is only getting worse making the demands for therapists even greater.
Glad I could help you out Pawian.

Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]

Well of course the employers encourage the cheapest labor they can get.
That has NOTHING to do with racial diversity as there is an abundance of Ukrainians that are willing to do such jobs.
The gates are wide open for White Ukrainians that acclimate and blend in to Poland's culture which is similar to their own.


No, it is the Ukrainians that power Poland's economy so NO RACIAL DIVERSITY is needed.
Did ya get it this time or do you just want to argue.

Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]


Those were my same exact sentiments Spike, thank you and very well put.
I just couldn't find myself to question a highly educated school teacher (voted teacher of the year multiple times) with my humble opinion.
A loaded question like Why does Poland need racial diversity? made me think it may be a trick question.

Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]

Actually delph it is the Ukrainian immigrants that are presently powering Poland's economy.
This what I see anyways.

Life / Why does Poland need racial diversity? Opinions [67]

Poland seems like they are in a time warp.
Nice people and all but much catching up to do.
Diversity is the last thing Poland needs to stall progress anymore than it already endures.
Cheap labor is absolutely not the answer for progress.
Poland needs to offer good paying jobs to bring the educated Polish people back to Poland with new ideas.

USA, Canada / Will U.S. Citizens Need A Visa To Visit Poland Starting In 2021 [11]

Yeah but the Americans don't generally over stay their visa's and disappear into the system.
BIG differenece.

USA, Canada / Will U.S. Citizens Need A Visa To Visit Poland Starting In 2021 [11]

I agree with you Iron as the road should run both ways.
The creation of a European Travel Information and Authorization System, or ETIAS, that will require "pre-travel screening for security and migration risks of travelers benefiting from visa free access to the Schengen area".

"Migration risk" ? Give me a break.
I now see that Poland is included in these E.U. countries called a Schengen area but Ireland and the U.K. are not.
More freedom of travel being taken away (restriction of travel to foreign countries) without the frogs in the warm boiling water even realizing it.

Did ya catch that last part Milo ?
What constitutes disrespect verses disagreeing on your own terms by exercising your freedom of speech ?
It short it's o.k. for the governments to disrespect it's citizens by lying but if you do it towards the government you go to jail............

Proving......"Whoever has the biggest hammer wins."
Damn I am so thankful, as a citizen of the U.S.A., for the Constitution of the United States of America.

Thanks for the train info. as I may do that too as I have a friend in Katowice too.
In fact she is in the States as we speak working but will be returning home this summer for a friends wedding.
Much appreciated Maf.

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [595]

My Polish Pen Pal lives in an area called Bielsko - Biala.
I know nothing about this area where I plan on visiting when I come to Poland.
She seems to be a very pleasant and honest person with a great sense of humor.
For some reason it is like pulling teeth to get her to tell me about the area in any detail.
Are any of you Poles familiar with this area to fill me in a tad about it.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]


Did I confuse you when I said,


Why do you Poles keep using YOUR words to insinuate that they are my words when they are your words and not my words. lol

Quit making things up or is that another Polish trait.


That statement makes you seem like so much more of an authority then everyone else here. (does a small bow)
Since I have been here more than you that should make me more of an authority than you to what is going on here.
Damn Paulina, talk about sociopathic's aye.
Is that another Polish trait, I am more of an authority than you are. lol

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]


Of course you are however there is one problem.
You will have to stand in line behind all the Brit Bullies that have made similar threats.


If I didn't get it my vindictive Polish genes would have kicked in and came back with my passive aggressiveness like you did. lol


And how many times in the past have I mentioned this. 'Lots' is the correct answer.
You girls live in Poland so why don't you drum up some new Polish up beat female semi normal recruits so you will have someone to fight with. lol

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]


Mine are too.


Now Ms. Vindictive, did I say I didn't like anything ?
No I did not.
Those are your words so please don't put them in my mouth to paint your picture.
You are the classical touchy over sensitive Pollack that doesn't want to admit the obvious.
We know the truth stings sometimes however most of the Polish traits pointed out in this thread are dead nut on as bad as you are embarrassed by them.

You shouldn't be ashamed of these negative traits as they are just a cultural thing because of being behind times a tad.


You shouldn't think so little of yourselves.
On the brighter side of the Polish traits is that they certainly know how to make good sausage and potato's.
(Oh the irony as he slaps his knee in laughter)

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]



Your case in point confirmed Terri. lol

Another trait is the vindictiveness Polish people are known for.
They can get very nasty at times over the silliest things while seeking revenge.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]


My pleasure Rich.
Notice how I omitted the irrelevant traits intentionally and focused on the main ones.
As you can see that steamed some people to the point they had to troll my post to make themselves happy.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [425]


Wow, that pretty much sums it up doesn't it.
Grumbling and complaining all day every day.
Very family oriented and jealous.
Good cooks and generally very loud talking.
Nosey wanting to know everyone's private business to gossip with but keeping their private business to themselves..
Always trying to show each other up.
That's a typical Pole alright.
