Life / Poland - abandon all logic [25]

In regards to the spending habits of Poles, i dont think they spend twice what they make but i what i can say for sure is that i could never understand how they were able to buy what they did with how little they earned. I guess this is where the "polak potrafi" saying comes in;)

That's not true, is it?

salaries vary for engineers. For the most part they are not paid very well, especially in polish companies. I've worked with some guys who made as little as $1800zl.

News / Is there anything Poland won't do for money? "Wolf's Lair" - up for rent" [59]

You didn't see the German's turning Hitler's bunker into an attraction

Actually the germans have turned hitler's former bunker (well, the site) into a tourist attraction as well as the former headquarters of many nazi institutions as every tourist company in berlin takes tourists to these areas! The Poles are simply getting in on this cash grab.

History / What proportion of the Polish population collaborated with the Nazis? [125]

Had ALL of Europe acted as did Bulgaria, Denmark or Sweden, the history of the Shoah would have been written quite differently, I can assure you-:)

Sure. And had jews (example: chaim rumkowski) not collaborated with the germans or fought along side the germans (example: werner goldberg - nazi poster boy), the history of the shoah would have been written quite differently, i can assure you-:)

Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]

Everyone lies. I bet Poles lie to you more because they know they can.

I'm not sure if lying is unique to Poles.

Great post.

USA, Canada / Polish-American criminals [70]

Polish-Americans are quick to claim when someone successful is "one of theirs" despite being only half Polish-American

You and your limey PFers are also quick to point out that these successful individuals are only 1/2 Polish-Americans. Where are you guys in this thread???

I thought so...

Study / Going to Medical School in Poland (University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn / and others) [51]

I think all of these polish medical universities are scams. I am somewhat familiar with the school in Krakow as one of my cousins studied there (i spent quite a bit of time there while he was studying and i was living in PL). Most of the international students were from either sweden or norway - close to 100% of these students were failures who couldn't get into any medical schools in their home countries so their parents paid for them to go to Poland. When they graduate they go home to work as MDs. Money buys everything.

I wonder if this is the case in western europe too.

I know several lecturers at the medical university in Poznan

I doubt this very much. You are starting to sound like harry with your "i know everyone" posts.

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

Their organization at the airport sucks ! I checked in and I was late about two minutes for my plane, puff I had to buy ticked for another plane.
My being late was entirely fault of LOT's lousy organization.
There was an American dude, giving off as well. Voicing undue generalisations not only about airline but about the country as well, I didn't kick his hole because he was in his late sixties -rude fukker.

What did LOT do to cause you (looks like everyone else made it just fine) to be late for your flight.

Sounds like you should have made an effort to get out of bed earlier that day.

Life / Poland: worst teeth in the world? [98]

Can anyone explain this disturbing chart?

Well if people in Poland would go to a dentist regularly for a check up/cleaning then their teeth would look better. Buuut, no one wants to spend money on that, they'd rather spend it on useless stuff.

I get my teeth checked every 6 months and i must say they're almost perfect in every way.

One thing i don't like about the chart is that is focuses on 12 year olds - what the hell??

Law / The famous Polish brands for 'Lingeries' and 'Bags'? [11]

Here's something i found on google:

Several Polish clothing companies try to build strong and appealing brands that could compete also outside Poland with the international giants like H&M or Zara. One of such companies is LPP SA based in Gdansk, an incorporated company noted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange since 2001 which owns and distributes the following brands: Reserved (flagship mainstream brand), Cropp (urban & streetwear style fashion), House (youth fashion), Mohito (active women’s fashion), Esotiq (women’s underwear), Rene Vilard (exclusive women’s underwear), Henderson (basic men’s underwear) and Promo Stars (advertising clothing).

Love / Why do so many Polish girls dye their hair BLACK? [124]

Polish women don't look good with dyed black hair.

I sometimes think they are trying to look more mediterranean. Unfortunately it's not working out for them. They need to have darker skin to look good with black hair. Sorry ladies.

History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [515]

If Poland simply waited for the inevitable German vs Soviet fight to the end - she could have waited and waited until the Soviet overstretched their supply lines in the race for Berlin...

Is this a serious idea? It sounds insane to me.

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

These stereotypes about poles being dumb originated back in the late 1700s and Early 1800s when poles began migrating to the US. Most of these Poles were uneducated peasants who couldn't read or write in Polish. When they were asked to write down their names for US officials and couldn't, Americans began to think that all Poles were "dumb."

keep in mind, many ethnc groups were ridiculed in the US at one point or another. Such jokes always originated amongst Americans of English descent and the majority were directed at catholic groups (ie poles, irish).

Love / Simon Mol - would he have been so "successful" in other countries than Poland? [121]

Sponsoring is very very common.It is extremely common it is regarded normal female behaviour.

Sadly, when I lived in Poland I heard many foreigners talk about Polish women and "sponsoring." I knew 1 british guy and 1 spaniard at work who had 'sponsoring' arrangements with polish university students. I also suspected my manager (a Pole) of doing the same.

The Polish media has covered this concept many times. It's more common than most people think.

Love / Simon Mol - would he have been so "successful" in other countries than Poland? [121]

Whether he would have found so many willing women through the use of pick up lines based on "hey, look, I'm black!"

Most women are not very bright and have a very fcuked up way of thinking. Here in canada, in small towns where there are few non-whites, women flock to these non-whites. Why? Because they see them as a treat and something that conservative mommy and daddy would never approve of. They're rebelling.

I think the same goes for Poland, I've seen it when i lived/worked there. Women are incapable of thinking, especially when that biological clock is ticking hard.

It has absolutely nothing to do with "white guilt." If someone tried the same trick on me i would wywalic chuja na zbity pysk.
