Love / Valentines Day & Polish men [130]


Doesn't surprise me as I always had you down as a bicycle guy ever since I stole your laundry soap off your bicycle when you went inside the store.


Oh Honey, come on now, "Women are equal to men, until it comes time to pay."
She gets his paycheck, she gets the house, she gets child support, she gets alimony, she has government welfare on her side, she has the law on her side, she has the courts on her side none of which a man is afforded.

That is why they created Valentine's Day, so the Alfa males can charm the pants off a woman respectfully. A win win.

Love / Valentines Day & Polish men [130]

Valentines Day is a day for us Alfa men as well.
We enjoy the 'thought' and 'amount of effort' in pleasing us rather then the amount of money spent to do it.

Life / Child abuse in Poland [64]

I was wondering how the country of Poland feels about this.

The Catholic Church is allegedly telling newly ordained bishops that they have no obligation to report child-sexual-abuse allegations to law-enforcement officials, saying instead that the decision to take such claims to the authorities should be left to victims and their families.

"According to the state of civil laws of each country where reporting is obligatory, it is not necessarily the duty of the bishop to report suspects to authorities, the police or state prosecutors in the moment when they are made aware of crimes or sinful deeds," his document states, according to a citation in the Guardian.

Genealogy / Do I look Polish? (my picture) [375]

Come on Tubby, sounds like you are talking about yourself.


So true Roz but you will never convince a young girl of that with all the peer pressure out there.
They think they need to put on war paint and submit to peer pressure to be vogue.
A woman that wore a Czech army parka, wooly jumper, muddy boots, wore her hair un brushed, drank her beer from a bottle would be much more fun to be with then one that worried about impressing both her male and female peers with plastic looks. (In my personal opinion anyways)

These young women need to be instilled with.... "there is ONLY one person that you have to impress in life and that is yourself".

Live up to YOUR expectations, not somebody else's.

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]


Would a Polish Thesaurus help you out ?
You could then cross reference the Polish word(s) with the English word(s) that have several meanings being the same.
This will give you several options of words to use for a particular one so you can pick the proper one that fits best.
Or use an English Thesaurus and translate those words into Polish meanings.
merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/polish
Does anyone know of a thesaurus that converts Polish words to similar English words ?


Zmoe, your proper English is much better then most college graduates in America.

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]


The owner of a dog (sic's) or "commands his dog to attack" you or another animal.
It's used as a figure of speech in America to get another person to back off.
Kinda like telling someone that you are going to set them on fire.
Another way of telling someone to get out of your face.
You know, same as like you are always telling people to feek off. lol

Are you sure delph ?
If they didn't live in cohabitation why would it be sin ?

UK, Ireland / Britain's moral collapse? [99]


I sure hope you aren't insinuating that your "Progressive Liberal immorality" is traditional because that certainly WOULD NOT "enrich" the CHRISTIAN Polish culture to be a better place.

UK, Ireland / Britain's moral collapse? [99]

It amazing how the 1.5% of the people have the arrogance to try and convince 90% of the people that disagree with them on the definition of morality by using the words racists and bigots to belittle with.

Since the majority of the people in the world/society (90% maybe) are either Christian or Muslim that define morality very clearly.
That is why liberals use the words homophobe, bigot, racist is because they can not argue the truth.

UK, Ireland / Britain's moral collapse? [99]


Agnostic ?

Coming from not only a Brit but a gay atheist Brit, I have no other choice but to snicker.

Life / Living like a local in Poland - What does it even mean? [30]

My question here is, "Do people in Poland blanch and freeze vegetables and fruits in season so they will have them to eat throughout the winter months.

Do they do a lot of home canning with fresh meats and fish to avoid the high salt content of canned crap you buy in the stores ?"

I haven't read much about this on the P.F.



Are you sure it was the acid that was causing the ulcer as excessive alcohol consumption has been know to cause them too.


Read the book "Wheat Belly" and you will understand why you are over weight and most likely will never eat bread again.

News / PiS and Russian political/economic interests [70]


You read correctly and that is because when OPEC had a strangle hold on us with oil at $140 a barrel we decided it was time to become independent from them. So we did.

Now it is America's turn to start selling the OPEC countries fresh water at $140 a barrel.
Just wait until we get a Republican president who will undo Obama's executive orders and order the Key Stone pipeline to be built.
Oil will drop even more as Canada can sell it to the U.S.A. cheaper then it cost the U.S to extract it.

What do you think that is going to do to the valuation of the U.S.D. and how it will effect Poland's zloty down the road ?

A lot of oil companies will be forced into bankruptcy one would think.

News / PiS and Russian political/economic interests [70]

Crude-oil prices plunged more than 5% on Monday.
Now trading is at near $30 a barrel, making light of bankruptcy ever more likely for a significant chunk of the U.S. oil industry.
Have an idea what the trickle down effect will be on Poland ?
Three major investment banks, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc. now expect the price of oil to crash through the $30 threshold and into $20 territory in short order as a result of China's slowdown, the U.S. dollar's appreciation and the fact that drillers from Houston to Riyadh won't quit pumping despite the oil glut.

China is a major import of Russian oil and gas but with it's slow down they won't be using as much to pollute the world.

This will drive prices even lower.
Like I said here last week, oil will stay low for the rest of this decade.
Blame it all on the Chicoms.

Love / Just started dating Polish guy - what is typical of a man from Poland? Cultural differences. [78]

Polish men generally don't mix races.
Another big factor is what is your dowery worth ?

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

Not totally true.
Any hand gun anyone buys MUST HAVE paperwork obtained from local law enforcement filed with the purchase no matter where they buy it.
Correct me if I am wrong but to my knowledge ANY GUN shipped from e-bay or any other place has to be shipped to a federal firearms licensed dealer where then the buyer can go pick it up after filling out paper work for it weather a long gun or hand gun.

What Obama and Hillary want to stop is people buying long guns (assault rifles) at gun shows for cash without filing any paper work.
Even buying a hand gun at a gun show the proper paper work and I.D. must be filed to obtain it.

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


They are not allowed to get a gun license in the U.S.A either by just flashing a residency card.
In fact they would not be granted one period.
Only citizens 21 years of age or older after taking classes for gun safety and laws pertaining to lethal use and responsibility, a written test and an interview by a gun board.

Poland no doubt would be even more stringent since very few Polish citizens have had a life time of training as most have here in the United States.

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


You don't live here, never have lived here and never will live here so quiet please ?
You are from Scutland and have limited knowledge of America.


That is correct, Texas is a State, however, they are the only state which has reserved the right to retract their statehood.


Correct again as the Marines have already openly stated that they would side with the civilians.
Back on topic however, if Poland was given a chance to vote on being able to own and carry a licensed handgun their is no doubt it would be voted in.

Polish law enforcement would even welcome it as they have in the United States.

Off-Topic / To ALL IMMIGRANTS ("expats") to Poland on this forum... [124]

When I first came here jon insinuated that he was British.
He used big words that he got by using a thesaurus to sound like he came from the upper crust.
No doubt the guy has been around and has a good education but far from what he pretends to be.
Once we found out that he was an ex pat from Turkey his tone changed.
He now claims to have obtained his Polish citizenship as does Roger.

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

Poland would support such legislation if it were brought to vote just like it was recently in Texas.
When the new year begins (2016) in the Lone Star State, licensed Texans for the first time since 1871 will be allowed to carry a holstered pistol in public under an "open carry" law passed in the Republican-dominated 2015 legislative session.

The liberals in Texas (as in Poland) claimed it would never pass but it did proving just how wrong the Polish Left is.
Looks like 2016 has started out with a positive "For the People, By the People" !

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [574]

Welcome VincentR.
You will do just great here.
If I had a tip to give you it would be: "Do not post any of your personal information as it always comes back to bite people."

Polish people are great people.

Off-Topic / To ALL IMMIGRANTS ("expats") to Poland on this forum... [124]

No.
The British ex pat's on here are not well liked by anyone but themselves.
They have been tagged with the nick of "The Brit's Bullies".
They are very annoying by trying to speak for the Polish people as they pretend to be Polish citizens themselves.
Everyone here has brought it to their attention yet they continue to post as authoritarians of Poland just because they reside in Poland.
They are very insulting and try to belittle anyone they disagree with by ganging up on them like a pack of dogs.
They think their farts smell like flowers and are way smarter then the Polish people or any other western country.
Their pompous annoyance here turns into daily immature name calling.
So my advise is to sit back and read the posts for a week or two and see if what I am telling you is not true.

Then decide if you have an even chance to make friends here because of your countryman's poor manners or joining
them as another Brit idiot.

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [332]

By the New Years day the Christmas tree is a mere tinder box from being dried out.
A fire hazard to say the least.
I take ours outside and lean it against the birdfeeder so the small birds have a place to hide from the hawks and owls.
(At least it gives them a chance.)
Then in the spring I throw the dried up old thing on the burn pile.
What ever anyone's Christmas tradition may be is one thing, common sense safety is quite another.
You can continue to celebrate Christmas until Easter if you wish but a Christmas tree and lights are hardly required to do it.

Just saying............

I read some place that a lot of people buy the live carp days before because of supply and demand.
They then take them home and keep them alive in the bath tub until execution time.
(I can't imagine taking a bath with a carp)
I personally would take the fish out of the water, lay him on a cutting board, take a very sharp knife and
slice his throat just behind the gills until the blood started to flow generously.
Being a cold blooded creature I doubt the fish would feel any pain and just gently go to sleep.
All is well that ends well. :-)

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [332]

I found this on line:
In Poland, Celebrations begin on December 24 and usually end with Candle mass on February 2.
Customs rule the evening, so meat is not allowed, and the serving of the 12-course feast is usually followed by a gift exchange.
The meal usually begins with a Christmas Eve version of red borscht.
Its beet soup prepared differently from the everyday version and usually served with tiny dumplings, dried ceps, and fried onion.
Carp, herring, and pierogis are often on the menu, and the dinner is punctuated by makowiec, or poppy seed cake.
It's always included because the poppy seed stands for prosperity.
Peace on Earth

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [332]

The children are what make Christmas magic.
It seems as a child our Polish Christmas started with midnight mass and then home to open our presents which were mostly
new school cloths and maybe one toy.
Then Christmas day was glutening ourselves on all kinds of Polish foods.
The main course was a baked goose with baked mince pies, neither what us children liked.
The men sat around after the main meal and boozed it up watching the football game on t.v. while the children where to be seen but not heard without having a t.v. or computer.

The women cleaned up the mess from the meal while sipping Polish honey wine.
How it has changed as we now still attend church Christmas eve and open our presents however NO alcohol is necessary for our family.
We have a spiral ham and lemon pie which the children enjoy.
We draw family names a week before Christmas dinner and have to say something nice about that person at the dinner table before we eat. Can you imagine drawing uncle Harry's name :-]

That is followed by everyone helping clean up the mess with joyful chatter.
Dessert is served with everyone sharing their highlight of the last year.
Very family oriented fun as the excitement and magic comes from the children.
How times have changed.

Really or is it that YOU are claiming that I am an authority with your trolling. lol
Poland has the best of two worlds belonging to the EU and NATO.
