Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

OK Johnny, as a true Pole you'll be able to find some stats on surveys conducted on whether Poles want guns or not, or media articles on Poles lobbying for guns. Having said that, you might find that difficult as Poles do not want guns. But you wouldn't know that, would you? What you know about Poland would fit on a grain of rice.

I don't accept your personal delegated work. You can do that yourself and being a teacher you should have a wealth of liberal resources to choose from. I would suppose it would be who you ask to get the answer that you wanted.

What I do know is that ALL my Polish pen pals have told me that they would own a gun if they could.
What I know about Poland is more then you know about Texas which would fit on a fleas back.

If even just a few of the Paris concert attendees had been packing a rod, they could have taken out one or more of the terrorists and thereby saved a number of lives.

Exactly one of my points Pol3.

There few Representatives voted in in the last election in Poland who are openly propagating a gun ownership for the Polish citizens.

It's probably one of the things that got them elected as the Polish people aren't stupid as some of the ex pats that live in Poland who post on here as authority as what the Polish people want in gun ownership.

Oh, and before you do, "we told you so" about that too so when it does happen you can cry another pity party about being beneath contempt.

Food / Why Poles not like rice? [87]

There's nothing ignorant about words meaning different things in different languages.

Try to explain that to a German. Ukraine or 'the' Ukraine. lol
White rice is horrible for you as it is loaded with sugar.
I think in the old days it was territorial do to climate and growing conditions for availability which has been passed on to the next generation.

I have noticed that ALL my Polish relatives (from ancestry) in "America" do not eat rice and prefer spuds.
Here in the Caribbean countries (Jamaica) you can expect rice with almost every meal served.
Rice, red beans, coconut milk (to sweeten it) boiled with scallions, called rice & peas.
Then we ad either pepper sauce, curry, tomato, ketchup or whatever to spice it.

News / School shooting in Sweden. Should Poland be worried about a copycat? [24]

Read my above post Johnny, it WASN'T a shooting.

I said thank you for helping me out to understand how a shooting could have possibly happened.
But then on the other hand if the teacher would have been afforded to own a gun to protect herself
from such an attack she may still be alive today.

Life / Poor hygiene of people in public places in Poland [46]

I couldn't imagine a bigger, smellier cesspool than Africa.

Oh I could, how about New Jersey, now that place really stinks.

Well that shows you don't really know me.

If you people respected your elderly you would not allow them to wallow in filth and bodily secretions.

Elderly hell, how about when you fell in the crap bowl in the bar and wallowed in secretion ?
Whatever possessed you to come on here and post to belittle the elderly Polish people ?
There is nothing more precious then to see a little old poor Polish villager smiling for the camera knowing what a hard life they
have endured yet still are smiling.
You are beneath contempt.

Sarah, you have the same accent as one of our Scottish members who posts on here.
He hasn't posted all day under his real nick which I find kind of a coincidence.
Has it ever crossed your mind that these people that you are so quick to judge are doing the best they can with what they have.

Without "daddy's" pocketbook you would most likely be right there rubbing elbows with them.
HORRORS !

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]

Shouldn't be a problem in the winter.

Why, the water levels will still be low this winter.
It's my understanding that many of the coal producing electrical plant's are old and will be in need of major maintenance with some even closing.

That along with low water levels could produce a shortage.
If so Poland electrical grid (again to my understanding) has no other E.U. countries to really import electricity from.
Hopefully you are right however what a better time to catch up with the 21st century.

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]

It will be much easier and straight forward to implement the technology without consistently whining "ciemnogród".

This winter looks like Poland could have a serious shortage of electricity.
Maybe when people start freezing the whiners will speed things up.

Hopefully fussion will be more reliable by then.

The first nuclear energy plants were built over 60 years ago here in the United States.
I am sure by now fusion is reliable.

News / Nuclear Power in Poland? Yes, please! Absolutely nobody disagrees! [73]

With the coal generating plants getting old and out of repair (costly), the damage they do to the environment (acid rain) that pollutes the rest of the world, health issues they cause in Poland, the shortage of power Poland will experience this winter........it sure seems that Poland would come out of the dark ages (no pun intended) and get that nuclear plant up and running for an abundance of electricity, cheaper electricity, cleaner electricity and quit polluting the rest of the world.

The good paying jobs it would create to finish building it, run it, maintain it, plus sell the surplus to other countries grids would be a bonus also.

BTW PM Kopacz's daughter has gone on record as saying she would leave the coutnry if PiS win the election.

This is her right. She has every reason to have such freedom.

Travel / I'm so bored in Poland! [129]

I think the answer might be to go by myself

Now you're cooking girl.
Get a nice hotel room and don't even stay with your relatives.
Find a nice English speaking Polish boy for a tour guide and I am sure you would go home with a smile.

News / Should Poland exit the EU immediately? [377]

why you English can`t imagine that Poland choose to go its own way?

Crow I am starting to understand what you have for a long time been preaching here.
You are correct in my opinion.

if Poles wants to go out of EU and finally wants to do something for themselves and, for those who think similar to them, among countries on Baltic-Balkan-Ukraine line

Yes er'e, Poland would be with more their own culture, speak similar languages, have more of similar beliefs and above all done with prostituting to other countries, and having other countries telling Poland what they must do or have their allowance cut off.

I think Poland would be a lot happier being independent then belonging to the failing E.U.
Poland is the only pure country left in the E.U. yet Poles are being FORCED into something they see as a complete failure.

News / Should Poland exit the EU immediately? [377]

I'm thinking of joining an American website and telling them how they should live.
I wonder what the response will be.

As for you being a Brit most likely the same as the one you get here on a Polish website which is, "not much".

but I think it's also worth remembering that Poland is growing in confidence to reject such things.

They are very much so as in the recent majority of anti marches against the LBGTQ's and the majority anti - refugee marches.
Standing strong and united within will make Poland a strong country while the rest of the EU slowly falls apart.

News / Should Poland exit the EU immediately? [377]

If Poland exited the EU they would be over run with German, French and Brit's as refugees escaping their countries from cultural wars.
As of now Poland is the last pure country in Europe which makes it more appealing every day for a place to live in peace.

Law / Is it illegal in Poland / Schengen zone to transport refugees inside? [22]

I am not from Poland so I can't say what Poland should do and since you are not Polish delph neither should you.
Without saying, ANY county that catches someone that has illegally entered their country is automatically detained.
I am afraid there will be bloodshed in Hungry about the next time the invaders start yelling "f*ck you" and pushing past the police.

The army is now involved and are not as tolerant as the police.

Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [236]

Just what America needs............another country to protect with American's blood and tax payers money.
And then to be spit on with ungratefulness.
Sweden's 200-year-old posture of military neutrality has been eroding amid European integration, and a perceived new threat from Russia has politicians now talking about abandoning it altogether and joining NATO.

"I think it's the combination of the perceived threat from Russia and a discussion about the armed forces' inability to carry out their tasks which leads to more Swedes being in favor of Swedish NATO membership," Ulf Bjereld, a political science professor at Gothenburg University, told Swedish Radio after the latest SOM Institute survey on Western military alignment.

After Swedish media gave broad coverage to rising pro-NATO sentiments, Russia's ambassador to Sweden, Viktor Tatarintsev, warned that Moscow might react militarily if Stockholm were to abandon neutrality and join the alliance.

News / Nazi gold train 'found in Poland' [90]

Spot on Z,
The story is starting to hit the news stands.
Poland's central bank governor Marek Belka said on Wednesday that the story of an alleged finding of a Nazi train in Poland that could contain jewels was in his opinion a hoax.

If this was in America people would be skeptical that it was just a cove up until the gold had been retrieved by the bad guys. lol

News / Nazi gold train 'found in Poland' [90]

People from Germany are now arriving to stake their claim.
No doubt a nice shot for the economy around Walbrzych.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Polish authorities have blocked off a wooded area near a railroad track after scores of treasure hunters swarmed southwest Poland looking for an alleged Nazi gold train.

The city of Walbrzych and its surrounding wooded hills are experiencing a gold rush after two men, a Pole and a German, informed authorities through their lawyers that they have found a Nazi train with armaments and valuables that reportedly went missing in the spring of 1945 while fleeing the Red Army.

Inspired by a local legend since World War II, people with metal detectors and ground-penetrating equipment are combing the area and its still-used railway tracks. Some of them have arrived from Germany.

Well of course it does. It will help partially compensate Poland for the destruction done by it's enemy.

News / Nazi gold train 'found in Poland' [90]

Yeah we don't know what it is yet. Could be anything.or nothing.

Photographs taken using ground-penetrating radar equipment showed a train more than 100 meters (330 feet) long, the first official confirmation of its existence, Deputy Culture Minister Piotr Zuchowski said.

Hopefully loaded with tons of gold that by all rights now belongs to Poland to help start up a nuclear power plant to lower electric prices so the people of Poland can supplementary heat their homes with affordable electricity without polluting the air with dirty coal that causing serious lung damage (cancer) and ground water (drinking water} which cause serious health effects to everyone.

News / Nazi gold train 'found in Poland' [90]

One possibility is that it's just rusting military equipment rather than tons of gold and jewels.

OR another possibility is that it is full of tons of gold and jewels.
Statute of limitation would make the country of Poland the rightful owners.
Maybe enough to finish the nuclear power plant in Poland to save Poland from deadly pollution from coal and it's smoke.
Even if the train alone can be restored for a War Museum would make it a great find.

Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [236]

I think every country in the world has a grievance with the USA,

And the American citizens know that and want our government to quit feeding them and protecting their ungrateful a$$es.
Europe should be outraged with Sweden.
Did you see where Hillary was Lobbied HEAVILY by the Swedish Government to allow them to "do business" ( in spite of the Economic Sanctions imposed by the U.S and EU, & United Nations) On Iran. [ due their pursuit of a nuclear weapon...]

This was in 2009 -2010 as Hillary was Secretary of State.
The State Department granted the Swedes that privilege.
And now, Guess which Scandinavian Country donated $20 Million Dollars to the Clinton Foundation ?
If you guessed Sweden, YOU'RE CORRECT !

No nasty coal smoke to breath and not have to depend on Putin for heating fuel.

Off-Topic / English teachers - 'functioning alcoholics with a superiority complex' [54]

One important point, though: nobody can hope to teach a foreign language out of that country (e.g., teach English in Poland) and for students to perfect that language. It is impossible.

Not true as my Polish friend who has lived in Poland all her life (never left) speaks and writes English perfectly.
That took an excellent English teacher.
I did find this thread most interesting however.

USA, Canada / Any Polish in, or coming to Hawaii? [24]

If ya'll git ta Maui......give MaMa's Fish House in Paia down yonder by Aliko Bay a try.
Damn they do have some good fixin's fo fish dinners.

Are there any polish churches, restaurants on the island?

Which island as the State of Hawaii is made up of seven islands.
Hawaii is mostly made up of Oriental's with white people the minority called howlies. (sp)
Doubtful you'd find a Polish church on any island besides Oahu and even that is doubtful.
You might find a Polish restaurant in the International Market Place in Honolulu.
Not a real demand for Polish food in the south Pacific.
Been years since I lived there so maybe things have changed but doubtful.

Life / Single mothers in Poland [175]

Yes, in every country of the world you can find girls of the kind but in most countries of the world such girls are not religious.

Do you see the connection ? (That kind of such girls are not religious) Hmmmm, can you imagine that !

What do you think about:

Any parent that would let their daughter go out dressed like a tramp (putting the bait out there), let them smoke cigarettes, get tatto's, put zippers in their lips, run the streets at will, and basically

let their daughters be totally out of control are the ones that should be held responsible.
The poor kid has no one to teach them or guide them. (Parents duty)
What do you expect from a kid with no parents.
Maybe taking them to church with you may be a start for teaching them some ethics, morals and guidance and meeting peers with the same.

At least give them a chance in life.
