History / The Two Saddest Nations on Earth... Poles and Jews [243]

What you're taught is a different matter entirely from what is being discussed. Unfortunately this matter comes up very often, especially here; people feel certain illogical and senseless things based on very little, usually on ancestry, which yes, I consider to be total BS. Memory, morals, attitudes, principles, knowledge, information, objectivity, likes, dislikes... absolutely none of this stuff has been proven to be linked to DNA. I don't see the need for people to carry unnecessary phantom burdens based on next to nothing. Certainly there is zero need for a modern-day Pole or German to feel shame or pride for what happened several decades ago.

History / The Two Saddest Nations on Earth... Poles and Jews [243]

I hope I'm not the only one who finds it absurd that people feel responsibility at the deeds of people long dead. Even if every person in your country and family was an evil genocidal maniac, where is the sound logic in assuming responsibility for something and someone you have no control over?

Who really gives a **** about old petty vendetta's? Hatred for the sake of hatred (because that's usually what it is, don't romanticize it by thinking there's some "deepness" behind it) is just pointless, and only serves to disadvantage those who choose hate as their path in life. Changing hearts and minds; noble idea, but ultimately pointless, in my opinion. I've yet to see it work, but by all means keep trying if you want, if you have the patience. The best thing to do is to ignore such things, they aren't even worth the kilobytes that this thread takes up.

Life / Polish (in comparison to English and Indian) have amazing culture [71]


Simply not true... at all.


I don't see anywhere in that scenario where sex is out of the question ;)

Work / Learning Polish in Olsztyn... crazy prices for private lessons. [27]

I don't agree that you need to spend money to learn Polish. The internet is a more valuable resource than any book or DVD, because it gives you several perspectives while a book will only give you one. Plus you are living in Poland. If you can make some friends there, I'm sure they will help you with your studies.

It feels a bit silly advising this to someone living in Poland, but if you build up a contact list of Polish people in your Skype or MSN, it can be really helpful to have casual conversations, and you can ask them for simple help and pronunciations if you're stuck on understanding something online.

Love / How do Polish boys feel about foreign girls? [163]

Unfortunately, there is no national code of behaviour that everyone adheres to. How he acts is entirely up to him, and nobody can read his mind simply because they're the same nationality.

Now, realistically... he may just find you attractive, and only want you for sex. I do not know either of you, but from the description you gave above, it does sound like he is only interested in sex (like a lot of males are).

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1410]

I googled it, but I can't quite understand what an "epicanthic fold" is. Is it just an East Asian eye shape?

Language / Nice Polish words to say to a girl [147]

najpiękniejsza - most beautiful
