USA, Canada / 18 and moving back from USA to Poland?? [19]

That is the part I don't understand.
How did she move to the U.S. without being documented ?
U.S. Immigrations would have a record of her embarkment from Poland.
Something isn't copesetic but not to say it's any major problem.

Even illegal aliens can get social security numbers in the US since 2012

You are totally correct as the person I helped had a green card and was documented.
Thank you for clearing that part up D.

USA, Canada / 18 and moving back from USA to Poland?? [19]

before you make the decision to move" isn't an option as I am undocumented.

If you have lived in the United States for over ten years, have no arrests, can read and write English and pass a simple
immigrations test you're half way there.
(They even send you a DVD for the test with all the questions and answers on it)
I have no idea how you are going to college without a social security number.
You are going to HAVE TO get one to work, get a drivers license, pay your income taxes, ect. to live in the U.S.

So it seems to me that you have no option regardless if you go back to Poland or not to get your U.S. citizenship.

Right now is a very good time to apply as it is easier then ever.
The application fee is $680 and takes about a year of jumping thru their hoops.
I just in the last month helped one of my freinds get theirs so if you have any questions p.m. and I will be glad to help you.

Good luck girl.

Love / How are lesbians seen in Poland (more info inside)? [30]

What about prejudice against lesbians?

Well you know Poland is a prodominately Catholic country which are bible believers.
The bible states clearly that homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of heaven so most likely
the Polish people will be praying for your lost soul and feeling sorrow for you.

What about safety for women in general?

What kind of safety are you concerned about ?
Those big stinky sweaty Polish men after work that fart and burp after a beer will have no interest in your kind.
They are looking for women that meet their needs.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [859]

Sometimes it takes awhile to convict the guilty.
I read this from the Krakow newspaper with my coffee this morning.

In a statement on March 27, Col Szelag said the Polish investigation had concluded that the Russian air traffic controllers put the flight at risk when they allowed the crew to attempt a landing in fog, and with imprecise instructions. The Polish officials, said Col Szelag, are accused of appointing crew members who did not have the experience or qualifications to fly such a high profile mission in bad weather.

Colonel Szelag said the Russians faced up to eight years in jail if they were tried in Poland and found guilty of 'unintentionally causing the crash'. He did not reveal the full details of the prosecution's case.

Law / USD shooting up so high for PLN [76]

Yeah it is $3.91 today.
This morning the Euro was at $1.05. Hasn't been there in probably 14 years. I remember when it was about $1.40.
The European stock markets are all doing well, but there are underlying problems.
Their central banks are all hot on stimulus like we were with QE 1, 2, 3, etc. That is pushing their interest rates down and the currency rates follow interest rates down. Thus the strength of the dollar.

That's the best way I can describe it.
My gold stocks are down more than 50% because of it.
Just sitting back waiting for war to break out, unfortunately, and then people will start hedging in those gold stocks and I will
be able to retire large in Poland drinking top shelf vodka with Harry.

i would personally change your money today at 3.48, don't think its likely to go much higher and i would be surprised if it stays at this rate for very long.

On 8th March it was up to 3.81 zł = USD $1!

My guess is that it will stay this way for the most of 2015 with all the plus variables right now.

Law / USD shooting up so high for PLN [76]

Anyone know why?

It is driven by anticipation of quantitative easing by the European Central Bank.
Stimulus from the ECB has put downward pressure on the euro, the yen, and other currencies, while boosting the dollar.
Looks like it will stay that way the rest of this year hurting my gold stocks bad. :-(

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

I came here for the same reason and found the same as you described.
After being here awhile you will find out that the rude and foul remarks are not coming from the Polish people that post here.
Those remarks are coming mostly from the British Bullies that post on here.
The Polish people here are most helpful with manners.
Don't let a few foreigners discourage you from learning about a country our grandparents came from.

USA, Canada / 15 hr. motion on a minimum wage. (USA) [24]

Yes, Yes that is the problem !
I don't know who you drive for or what kind of freight you haul.
If you are only making less than minimum wage ($7 an hour) driving long haul you better find another job.
Yes, long haul truck drivers make $2000 plus a week, not $300 per week as you suggest.
They are only allowed by law to drive so many hours a day.
Yes they work hard and yes they are never home with their families.
And yes finding drivers that are willing to sacrifice never being at home, have a license (cpl),
a clean driving record, can read and write English properly, can pass impromptu drug screening,
no criminal back ground, can pass a physical test, physically fit, and are level headed is tuff to
find in this day and age.
At least give people the benefit of the doubt before you start running your trap about being
ignorant as it makes you look REALLY ignorant.
And yes I have been back and forth across this country several times when younger in an
eighteen wheeler moving people. We did our own loading (by hand) and unloading (by hand)
and worked our ar#e off.

(side bar) I normally don't respond to non members but you are totally ignorant.
Maybe that is why you only make minimum wage driving a pack van.

Most people do not qualify to even obtain a CDL, (commercail drivers license).
The medical part alone cuts out about half the applicants.

Then add in the rest of the requirements it really cuts the field of applicants down.
Same with the commercial airline pilot shortage.

Applicants come up short to qualify for a license.

Many over qualified people are working jobs that they don't need a license for.
That is why expecting $15 an hour to put pickles on a hamburger is fantasy in
this economy.

History / Polish mathematicians who solved the Enigma machine [86]

Let me para prase some of that.

The Poles did break the code of the Enigma first.
The earliest success against the German military Enigma was by the Polish Cipher Bureau.
In the winter of 1932-33, Polish mathematician Marian Rejewski deduced the pattern of wiring inside the three rotating wheels of the Enigma machine.
In a major breakthrough Rejewski invented a method for finding out from each intercepted German transmission the positions in which the wheels had started at the beginning of the message.

Poland was able to read encrypted German messages from 1933 to 1939.
Could it the movie was more based around Bletchley Park after that in 1940 ?
In 1940 changes were made to the Enigma system which eliminated what Rejewski had discovered in the starting positions.
Bletchley Park in 1940 the code breakers continued from there to break the Germans codes.
I haven't seen the movie yet but surely will.

Wouldn't let me edit para phrase.

I read thru this thread and didn't see where the French were mentioned for their part.
Rejewski was helped by photographs received from the French secret service showing pages of
an Enigma operating manual for September and October 1932.
That had to have been a HUGE help in breaking the code.

News / Parliament in Poland clears way for nuclear plant [78]

It was the smell of coal smoke in the air.

Ah, yes as that is what we heated our house with when I was a kid.
You never forget that smell.
The good points for Poland to build a nuclear energy plant is that it would increase it's independence from Russia.
It would also give Poland an economic boost for the growing demand of electricity.
Also the green house emissions from coal is a nasty.

Poland's life expectancy in part reflects this. That and the preserved pork products.

I think SUGAR plays a much bigger variable in life expectancy then perservatives in food.
Soda pop is a killer.
There are many countries that would be interested in partnering with Poland to build one.

News / Parliament in Poland clears way for nuclear plant [78]

The first nuclear power station wasn't built until the middle of the 20th century.

And I grew up in the area down wind of one of the first ones built.
We were used as guinea pigs.
The cancer rate and birth defects increased to much higher there than other nearby counties.
The plant is now dismantled with it's expended fuel rods to be stored for the next 250,000 years.
It's a two edged sword when you hear how enviromentally clean nuclear power is.
No doubt there has been improvements made in the last 60 years but don't forget what happened
at Chernobyl or Fukashima.

Life / Is a prescription needed to get morning after pills in Poland? [34]

So it prevents the conception, it's not an abortion.

I disagree.

The emergency contraceptive morning after pill has three modes of action that is it can work in one of three ways:

1.The normal menstrual cycle is altered, delaying ovulation; or
2.Ovulation is inhibited, meaning the egg will not be released from the ovary;
3.It can irritate the lining of the uterus so as to inhibit implantation.

Keep in mind that fertilization occurs in the fallopian tube and that fertilization marks the beginning of
a new human life and the beginning of the pregnancy.

The journey from the fallopian tube to the womb takes between five and seven days during which pregnancy
cannot be readily detected.

Therefore, if a woman ingests emergency contraception after fertilization has taken place the third mode of action can occur.
The lining of the uterus can be altered causing the woman's body to reject the living human embryo, making implantation impossible and the child will die.

This result is called a chemical abortion; therefore emergency contraception is an abortifacient.

Of course I want a girl that been raped or had a date rape pill slipped to be able not to get pregnant.

Under those circumstances a Dr. could 'prescribe' such a pill.
They make 'birth control' pills for recreation sex which don't abort and kill a human being.

Life / Is a prescription needed to get morning after pills in Poland? [34]

Because life begins at conception.
Just because it is out of sight and out of mind doesn't mean that it's not killing.

Life / What should parents and schools in Poland do to discipline flippant children? [16]

It's it me or does this guy just want to argue to go off thread ?
He follows me around this Forum like a lost puppy.

and thats when the belt comes out.........or worse..

Then you should be arrested Boy.

my little girl was told last week at school that she couldn't go to the toilet and that she shouldn't be a baby, she has a bladder infection and came home with wet knickers,

What an incompetent parent not letting the teacher know this in advance.
Why would a parent shame his child that way in front of her whole class.
You may as well have spanked her instead of the life long shame that you caused her.
You are the one that should be punished with a good boot in the butt.
Now for the love of the Polish Forum can we get back on thread and STAY on thread.
Case in point:
How many times do you have to be told this ?

First thank you DominicB as I got you mixed up with Shaman.
Thank you for reposting it.
And thank you Shaman for your explaination.
Now let's quit sensationalizing with the word smack with the word spank.
I don't mean smack in the face, I mean a spank on the butt to get a kids attention.
I firmly believe after five or six years old it's to late to spank a kid on the butt.
If they haven't been taught by then it's to late.
And when doing so you only use the palm of your hand, not a stick, not a belt, not a paddle.
Does that help clarify my meaning of spanking a child ?
Even with the dangerously uninformed liberals ruining our schools most of my family and friends
still spank at home.

Good grief Shaman, your first post was one of the best posts that I have ever read on the Polish Forum
yet it got deleted for SOME ODD REASON.
Your second one got to stay. Hmmmm

Your post balanced the opinions out FROM POLISH PEOPLE here.
Now the thread reads very bias in favor of no swats on the butt.

Do parents & public schools believe in corporal punishment in Poland.
What are the laws in Poland regarding spanking a child.

Talking, explanations using examples, reasoning Right, that works well with a three year old.
The old reap what you sow works pretty good tooRight, that works well with a five year old
GroundingSeriously......hahahaha
Abstinence of things which they will missPAleeeeeez
Maybe fear tactics without the physical punishmentEven a dog can figure that out after three times
The old fashion way worked (a good crack on the B-hind gets their attention), your way is obviously failing. Just look what it has created.

No no Billy, don't do that again or you won't get dessert. Right, that is a powerful incentive.
Kids that can't balance a checkbook or spell not to mention INSTANT gradification and that we are all winners. Pffffft
When they get out on their own they can't cope with reality or support themselves so they move back into daddy & mommy's basement.

And when mommy & daddy die or throw them out they have to go on welfare because they have been hani capped by stupidity.
It's when Liberals took God out of the schools is when this bullock all started. 'Spare the rod spoil the child.'

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

and you cannot carry concealed weapon in any other state other then the state that issued you a permit

Not true pigsy, most states honor my C.C.W. (Carry & Conceal Weapon) I can carry in almost all states legally.

I have a permit

You do not have a C.C.W. permit. All you have is a permit to own. Big difference.

.It can be only carried in person unloaded when im going to the range or target practising at an designated area

Yup and I can carry mine loaded just about anywhere I want to. In my truck, in public, under my jacket, not
you however, you would go to jail.
In fact in my state, like many, if it is not concealed you can carry it openly without a permit.

Then why do you even own one?

Because the second ammendment of the Constitution of the United States of America says that I can.
Now AGAIN.....Please quit hijacking these threads before they get closed again.
(Constructive criticism)
Go read the P.Forum rules pigsy about hijacking a thread.

Gun ownership is good for Poland in case invasions happen again - as they have so many times.

After what just happened in Ukraine there is no doubt that the Polish people would support such legislation of private gun ownership.
This is why no country has ever tried to set foot on American soil.
80 million people with guns that practice regularly.
If Poland knew the statistics about gun ownership in the U.S.A. they might better understand the propaganda the liberals try to feed them about the murder rate in America.

The United States is 3rd in Murders throughout the World.
But if you take out just 4 cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC and New Orleans , the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the entire world, for Murders.

These 4 Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U.S.
ALL 4 of these cities are controlled by Liberal Democrats.
It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data - right?
A law abiding gun owner doesn't murder people.
No doubt that the people of Poland would support such legislation for private gun ownership.

I think like most normal people we have no use for guns.

If you ever need the use of a gun and don't have one you will probably never need one again.

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

Poland in particular, people simply don't need a gun because almost nobody else has one. I do not fear being robbed or burgled by a gunman

Good points Roger.
I have a permit to carry one almost anywhere I want. Do I ? NO
Example, if someone robbed me or burglerized my home I WOULD NOT take my gun out from under my jacket.
I have been trained that the ONLY time you pull one out on someone is when you are going to use it.
A few hundred dollars or road rage is no reason to kill someone. Take it, my insurance will cover it.
They are not to be brandished to threaten someone with. You pull it, use it.
Now if someone was raping my wife, hurting my child or threatening my life, different story.
Otherwise like you said Roger,

to keep at home

Strictly home defense where I have no other place to retreat.
The gang bangers do not have a license to carry or even own a gun however they all have one.
The liberal media doesn't promote the stories about the good guys who shoot the bad guys first.
I just want the Polish people to understand the whole picture and not just the one the liberal manipulating media paints.
Thank you for sharing Roger as I have never been to Poland (yet) so that is why it seems so strange to me.

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

Well I am sure you know where I am going with this....

No but let's tell Poland about Chicago where gun ownership is illegal for example. (ha, google that)
They have 20 to 30 shootings EVERY WEEK END year around. Mostly with black people involved.
50 to 60 around the 4th of July holiday.
Does that statistic represent the rest of America fairly ? Hell no ! That is just one section of an American city.
But that is not what the Polish people hear by the liberal manipulated media as they paint a picture
of America that is very bias.
O.k., time to let others in on this as the market is about to open here and I have to get to work.
