HAHA, it's so funny.

He was born in 1950 so he's 62 years old. He's been in Poland for 36 years, more than half his life.......haha, this stuff just cracks me up. Not that he's been there that long....just the language part. Polish is so fukcing messed up. ha!

I wasn't suggesting you did. I was using "you" as a generalization. ok fine, "mieszka sie". jasne?


WHAT?! man you are thick. you don't see the point i was making? THAT is how you interpreted that? what can i say. just forget it.


how, exactly, have i done that. you started comparing, i starting calling your bull$hit.

it's the same thing over and over. people come on here and start making a poland vs usa comparison, i call them out on their bull$hit, and it always turns into, "oh you just think you're so great and everything in the usa is great."

no. it is not all great. stop talking BS and i'll stop typing.

i don't know how that's related to the discussion.


You bring up the dumpiest, most economically struggling city in the USA. Good tactics. Anyways, again, it is completely unrelated to the discussion and the reason for my original post about housing prices. If you have your own agenda here, leave me out of it.


I'm not going to give you an economics lesson and I'm certainly not supporting any members of Polonia that "patronise" people living in Poland, but it is not beneficial to live somewhere that has extremely high priced real estate unless you're rich. If you saw the house I live in now and told me that your 50 sq. meter flat in Krakow is more expensive, you would not have anything to brag about, unless spending more for less has suddenly become "stylish".

you are a broken record.

Personal attacks, of course. Par for the course. It's the same thing over and over with you, man. I post something, express an opinion, and you tell me that the reason I'm wrong is because I was poor in Poland. It's completely ridiculous. You know what, even if it was true, you still wouldn't have a point.

Come up with something new, man. It's friggin' old.

i actually really like this post and I think it has a lot of truth to it.

I will always have 2 strikes against me as an American on this forum because people have preconceived notions about us, it's just the way it is, but because i grew up in a country that in most cases is eons ahead of Poland, i simply see stuff that a Pole couldn't even imagine and therefore, form opinions accordingly. i've always said that poles live very isolated lives and this is a big reason why. going from poland to my country is like leaving and going to another planet which is why i see things way way way differently than the average pole.

SO MANY TIMES i get criticized for being the typical arrogant douche american but a lot of that is probably due to the fact that i am simply not afraid to call a spade a spade on here and people get their a$$ hurt over things they KNOW is true about Poland but refuse to admit. I could moan and groan about the USA just as well but hey, this isn't a USA forum and the USA is already brought up enough as it is (i'm bringing her up now based on Ziemowit's post).

if that makes me a douche, so be it, but i think Ziemowit's post hits on some things that would definitely clue someone in on "what's wrong with Poland" because it may not be "wrong" to poles in some cases but completely wrong for foreigners to the country and because we're talking about poland, a country that quite frankly leaves much to be desired, foreigners finding things wrong with poland, especially westerners, is sure to come up and come up often.

Life / What's wrong with Poland? I don't see anything. [121]


oh oh, ok. so that changes everything. i'm fine with immigrants, as long as i don't see them or have to deal with them.

see guys, i'm not really concerned with how it affects Poland, i'm only concerned with whether or not it's in MY town. logically, one would then deduce that immigrants is "what's wrong with Poland" because yours truly has some in my neighborhood and I don't like it. and by golly, everyone should be concerned for my well being.

you have amazingly selfish agendas. let's give this man a warm round of applause!

Life / What's wrong with Poland? I don't see anything. [121]


you gotta be kidding me. the last I checked, Poland was about as white as it gets. 98% Polish and 99.9% white. What the hell are you talking about. Surely that can't be what ails Poland the most.

I feel as though I'm more "free" where I live now, but it's entirely subjective. Conversely, when I went to Poland and saw naked women on magazine covers at Empik, I was totally shocked because that simply doesn't fly in the USA in a big public bookstore like that. It doesn't make one more "free" than the other, it just is.

Life / What's wrong with Poland? I don't see anything. [121]

this argument keeps coming up on here and I think it really comes down to what you view as "freedom".

I've called you out on several occasions on this forum for swooping in and making Poland vs. The West comparisons....when it has nothing at all to do with the topic. It is the ONLY thing you have posted since you started here. And you call me a troll.


Maybe calling me "kid" makes you feel older and more mature than you actually are but I can assure you you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm probably older than you are. Dear lord I hope I am, I can't imagine someone as naive as you being younger than me.

Life / What's wrong with Poland? I don't see anything. [121]


dude, cut the crap. you bring up what is probably the nicest city in Poland and then mention the USA's $hittiest. go ahead, make another ridiculous comparison to try and carry out your agenda. this isn't your first thread where you prop up Poland as much as you can and then crap on the USA in the next breath. give it a rest, you sound fecking ridiculous. you're just another guy who came to visit for a few days, saw lots of nice poon, and decided to find a polish forum to talk about it.


Captain Obvious to the rescue! Hey boys and girls, you know why that's true? Because the United States of America is the largest melting pot in the world and Poland is......hooooooomogenous!!!


OH NO, what ever would have given us that impression. Haha, 10 days in Poland and you've already written off the USA as an inferior country. I had the goggles on a bit when I first moved to Poland but you my friend take the cake, and then the whole bakery. Get the fukc outta here, dude.

Life / 3 reasons why winter is the best time of the year in Poland [58]


In October that distance from the equator, yeah, it's pretty special.

I've also seen 36" in a 36 hour period in March. 2 mornings in a row, snow level going over the top of the snowblower.

In New York state just a few hours north, there are some towns where the houses are built with 2 front doors, 1 on the ground floor, 1 on the second floor because every year, a storm will come that will completely snow in the ground exit and your only way out is the 2nd floor. They also have towns with entire road systems built for snow mobiles because it's literally impossible to operate a car once winter really sets in.

I spent a decade driving in the northeast, but hey, what do I know about winter and driving in the snow.

1. I love love love to be uncomfortable every time I step outside.

2. Lots of laundry rocks my world.

3. I prefer high risk driving conditions.

Life / 3 reasons why winter is the best time of the year in Poland [58]


This is the funniest damn thing I've read in a long time.


I grew up in New Jersey dude. My parents had a blizzard that dropped 14" of snow in October last year. I've driven in more snow storms than you ever will. And yes, I've driven in Poland plenty, I just never owned a car there. You GOTTA try and come up with something better to say, Mikey.

The old "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing" gag. There's a reason why wealthy people live in the south of France.

Saying anything more about this would be like explaining to someone why driving on dangerously slippy roads with a wife and children in the car is undesireable.....


Oh no you dit' int!

This is why conversation is futile with you, man.

Law / Polish Visa Refused, Going To Make Appeal, What should I do ? [81]


meaningless. often times a 1 way ticket is more expensive than a round trip. When my wife and I moved from Poland to the USA, we both bought round trip tickets instead of one way because they were cheaper. much cheaper.


or money to float you while you look for ways of earning money while in Poland.


if you were planning on overstaying, what would someone do differently? gotta stay somewhere when you land, right? what does a hotel reservation on the day you arrive have to do with overstaying or not?

BTW, where do you live?

Your definition of "close" differs from mine.

You're in Colorado and you want to "travel abroad". Where do you go for a nice vacation "abroad" that's comparable in distance from Poland to any of those countries you listed? There's nothing in Canada and Mexico is a dump, as well as 99% of south america. Give me your travel plans and leave out the Caribbean islands please because Americans already travel there all the time.

Oh, and for what it's worth, I just added those percentages up, it comes to 89.2. What, or where should I say, is missing?
