News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [568]


Bollox. You're talking about alcoholics who will start the day with alcohol regardless of country.


Try going into a Wetherspoons in the day. Full of drinkers.

I can guarantee that every time I walk down my local high street, there will be drunks sat somewhere either drinking or fighting with other drunks.

Life / If you lived abroad, would you like to have a Pole as a neighbor? [93]


Where did I say anything along those lines? I'm not disputing numbers of Poles living abroad. What AntV was talking about was the difference between those leaving and returning. These days there is decreased emigration from Poland due to the improving economy, and more are returning. For example:

I would agree with that. Certainly from the UK and Germany, if not other European countries.

Is this supposed to be some kind of point scoring exercise?

Capitol Hill riots, Charlottesville car-ramming, El Paso Walmart shooting?


I'm centre-left but that's it. Why you persist in trying to put people into boxes is beyond me. Go back and shove your crap in the designated thread and spare us all.


The irony. Both you and PAK, two of PF's right-wingers, denouncing the left for violence while advocating for it yourselves. You couldn't make this sh!t up.

I now of it but can't say I've ever used it or heard anyone else use it either.


Ok, thanks for that maf. Makes sense now.

People that commit acts like this are extremists at the far end of the political spectrum whether they be left or right-wing. The vast majority of people on either side of the divide would not advocate for violence.

You appear to have a problem understanding this.

I'm not cheering or glad about what happened to Charlie Kirk. No-one should be killed for their beliefs. As others have said though, he was largely unknown outside of the US. Most of the vigils and memorials for him in Europe are because he has now become a Christian martyr.

You talk of the left and violence but it is you, along with Novi, who are wishing ill-will towards PF members who dare to disagree with your worldview.

Neither this nor that as previously posted.

Not sure why there appears to be so much confusion with the thread title........


Waffling on and on about nothing in particular with very little information conveyed?

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation - part 2 [816]


Sort of fits with the meaning I found.


To be honest, the more I read the more confused I got with this one.

Has this been solved or not because I'm slightly confused....


So is it not to do with sticks/sticking at all in any context?

I was doing a lot of reading and found 'they'll throw the book at you', but I don't think that's right.

I would say that this definition is similar but the details are often unpleasant rather than just hidden.


I think this one is closest in meaning.


To deceive someone and put them in a very difficult situation?

Is this anything to do with safety? One would think the safest place to be would be in the light directly under the lamp post but maybe the greatest threat is in a place that appears to be safe and has hidden dangers.

Or maybe can't see the wood for the trees...


I can only think of the old hoofbeats thing. Hearing hoofbeats, you're more likely to have a horse than a zebra behind you. I think it was originally based in medicine, as in think of the most likely common illness rather than rare/exotic diseases.
