I like the old Turkish style coffee in Poland. Just pour hot water on your ground coffee and there you go. Nothing beats that. Starbucks is the McDonald's of coffee at a premium price.

I don't get the gullibility and slave mentality of some posters here, but let them and their children keep learning from their own mistakes. The only "nuke threats" we know about is from the Hollywood studios based on the 1960s propaganda. They will keep using the theme until the genie is out of the box. Then they will move to threaten the gullible people with an alien invasion.

So they reap all the NATO benefits without paying anything.

News / Will Poland as a NATO member be drawn into the Israel/Iran war ? [250]

Yes, but why Poland is forced to pay 3-5% of GDP and Israel is not? How can Poland get the same deal as Israel?

"No, Israel does not pay any NATO membership fees. Israel is not a member of NATO; it is designated as a major non-NATO ally by the United States. NATO membership is limited to countries that have formally joined the alliance through treaty, and Israel has not done so."

News / Will Poland as a NATO member be drawn into the Israel/Iran war ? [250]

The question is, why isn't Israel in NATO paying 5% of their GDP like Poland and other EU country do? Polish taxpayers' money are spent to support a non-member. In real life, they call it fraud or money laundering?

Off-Topic / What is a woman? [339]


This is liberal garbage reasoning. Something like:

90% of commercial truck driver accidents are caused by men.
10% of commercial truck driver accidents are caused by women.

The explanation: Men are better drivers.

It's obvious that more child abuse is done by women since women spend 80% more time taking care of their children, and probably 90% of time in stressful situations like trimming nails, bathing, dressing, feeding, changing diapers, etc. A dad watching TV with a child will not be abusive, but have him cook and feed his kids then the abuse will be very common.

History / Polish Army Day [82]

"Young people in Poland should be aware that the government is preparing to introduce large-scale military training for all adult men, with the aim of significantly expanding the country's reserve forces in response to growing security threats from Russia and Belarus. While this initiative is not a full return to compulsory military service yet, top Polish military officials have described the reinstatement of conscription as "inevitable" in order to build up the number of reservists to a level comparable to countries like Finland.

If you are considering moving to another EU country to avoid possible future conscription, keep in mind that Polish authorities could still require you to fulfill your obligations as a Polish citizen. If you are called up and do not respond, you could face legal consequences under Polish law, and a warrant for your arrest could be issued, potentially restricting your ability to travel within the EU.

Extradition for evading military service is rare, but unresolved obligations may bar you from returning to Poland or complicate your legal status in the EU."

Work / Self-employed American living in Poland? Is it possible? [54]

Just talked to someone who spent three weeks in Poland and returned back to the US. They said when they returned to the US (a major city) it felt like they are in a third world country compared to Poland. It was the other way when they visited Europe 20+ years ago. It didn't bother them back then as prices in the US were cheap, but now when they have to pay $12-15 per pound of beef, the country is no longer on top of their list. If you have a chance to stay in Poland, don't change your mind.

The CONMAN will complete the destruction.

News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [665]

It was weird to watch how these presidential candidates were first introduced by the Polish media and have been heavily promoted for months before the debates. Almost all of these candidates have been pre-selected by the higher powers. It's less obvious in other countries.

Off-Topic / Habemus Papam / The New Pope [91]

Whether you live for 10 years or 90, what difference does it make compared to eternity? True believers don't struggle with this daily dilemma as they see the infinity symbol (∞) and find peace in its promise.

Off-Topic / Habemus Papam / The New Pope [91]

People rebelled against God and we got a messed up world. But God sent his Son, Jesus, to forgive our sins and give us eternal life. We still have to continue living in a broken world where abuse and suffering exist. But it's just temporary if you accept Christ to be your savior.

Otherwise, you keep judging God you don't believe in. If so, what is your solution to a teacher molesting a child? Remember, you are on your own, you cannot call God for help as He doesn't exist in your opinion. Not sending kids to school maybe?

What would be your solution to a natural disaster like an earthquake where thousands of people die? Maybe kill these people before they experience the disaster?

As an atheist, you have absolutely no solution. Blaming someone who doesn't exist is short of insanity.

Off-Topic / Habemus Papam / The New Pope [91]


That is correct. If you don't want to have relationship with Christ, He loves you so much that he won't force himself upon you.


Maybe he put God on an ignored list, too. If you don't want to have anything to do with someone, don't always expect them to rush to help you out.

It's true that trolling and insulting have subsided and I hope it continues this way. On the other hand, they are a part of our family. We cannot remove them from our virtual lives. If they make a mistake, they receive a punishment that they may or may not deserve, and I hope they return changed for the better. One should not cast stones at others, as we are also sinners.

Law / Polish Permanent Residence (want to start a life in Poland) [13]

Jon is correct here. Still, you are in a great position; as I wrote above, you have two suitable options.

Law / Polish Permanent Residence (want to start a life in Poland) [13]

They don't specifically require that you earn money in Poland (I think). They just want to make sure you have regular income. These days, millions of people work online as independent contractors for companies located outside their country of residence. I don't think they would have a problem with your regular income originating in the UK as long as you pay taxes on this income in Poland.

At worse, you may set up a sole proprietorship and pay yourself as an independent contractor and receive payments from your UK bank to your Polish bank, but I doubt that would be necessary.

Life / Is Poland hostile to supporting families and stay united? DNA test. [11]


No - because the judge can be 50% of more times wrong and the defendant could easily prove it in the future. Who needs a judge who has been proven more than not to be wrong? For example, your enemy or a girlfriend can give a judge a screenshot of your claims that you slept with her and that you may be the father. She may even have a video recording of you saying that. But in a civilized country, it is absolutely no proof because in a month you may get the child's hair, poop, or saliva and bring the DNA 100% evidence to court that the judge was wrong. The case would have to be overturned. So judging based on rumors would be dismissed in court.

Still, I advise you to get married if you want to have sex and focus on lifetime commitment.

Life / Is Poland hostile to supporting families and stay united? DNA test. [11]

I understand it would be the mother claiming you may be the father. For example, she may want you to pay alimony claiming you are the father. Then you tell her or a judge - "I have no problem paying alimony as long as I do paternity test." If they agree, you are covered. If they don't agree, you are covered too because legally you cannot become a father without a proof, especially that you want to have a proof. I don't see much problem with that.

"Private paternity tests, depending on the laboratory, cost from around PLN 600-700 to even PLN 2,000. The average price of a high-quality DNA test for private purposes is around PLN 1,300-1,500."

So I would get such a private paternity test and then you are fully covered, stress-free. You cannot force the other person to behave in a certain way, but when you have 100% proof you are not the father, they can do nothing about it and you are free of your worries.

Life / Is Poland hostile to supporting families and stay united? DNA test. [11]

I haven't looked into the laws, but a quick overview suggests that you cannot be forced to admit that you are a father without sufficient evidence. If I was you, I would definitely not sign a birth certificate unless DNA test is performed. You can always say that you have no problem signing the document, but need time to make sure you are the father. That's the only way it can work in a civilized country like Poland, correct? :

Life / Is Poland hostile to supporting families and stay united? DNA test. [11]

Yes, but what is your point or question? To me, when you add progressiveness to anything, it will destroy what's good if given enough time. I guess that's what's happening in Poland because people think that the best way is to stay in the middle and add this or that to spice things up.
