Playing stupid = taking literally Civics 101 books and the morons who trust them. I love this method...

Who should set prices?

News / Americans incite hatred towards Russia in Polish media [75]


I do. Playing stupid is one of my favorite debating techniques.

To counter your point...America didn't notice anything because importing stuff from China removes all guilt connected with pollution, global warming, and all that green crap.

And it's still profitable. If the US can trade with Russia - a country the US is taunting into WW3 - trading with "hostile" China is perfectly excusable.

This way the US is double happy...It makes money from Chinese imports and can bullsh*it US taxpayers into spending more on "national defense". Those scary Chinese...

That's why I made an effort not to be like my parents. I didn't like either one - the two most self-centered people I ever met. On the plus side, it made leaving for good easier.

I know they were happy to see me go. No tears. Perfect.

News / Poland highest inflation in 20 years [319]


...as opposed to government bureaucrats. Poland should try that...Prices will be much lower and the shelves empty to make the decision of what to buy easier. A shopper's paradise...

I thought that all commies are dead by now. Unfortunately, some are still around...

Life / Poetry and Poets of Poland [58]


I can't recall any poems and I am doing very well.
In fact, the only books I read were by Sienkiewicz, and not a single one after I turned 18.
I read user manuals when I buy cars.

For this, you need people who are not afraid to look straight into your face. Orientals and Poles don't. To them, you are invisible - even if you hold the door for them.

In the US, the best country in this respect, we do it routinely - even if no words are spoken - just to acknowledge the other person's existence. A nod or a simple hand gesture is always good to see.

If you mean DNA, no argument. All else is negotiable.

The best way to eliminate future dilemmas is by making the decision to emigrate irreversible. Sometimes blowing up all the bridges behind you is a good thing.

Second step: Create a magnet to hold you in the new country that is stronger than any nostalgia about the old one. That magnet is getting married and having unhyphenated kids. Once they have kids of their own, you are in for good.

...you can slice with a butter knife.

Why do you Poles like saying crap like this? Does it really help to feel heroic?

News / Poland highest inflation in 20 years [319]

16%

I wonder how much it would be without the refugees. Yes, having a party for a couple of million guests ain't cheap.

When are they supposed to go home?

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]


I remember it. My father had to pay 10,000 zl to get treated for oral cancer. Then he came home and the first thing he did was light up a cig.

News / Americans incite hatred towards Russia in Polish media [75]


Are you guys from another planet?

The US has been sending boatloads of money to China, has been accepting thousands of Chinese spies aka students, has been systematically de-industrializing the US and sending manufacturing jobs to China since Nixon made love to Mao in 1973 and now the US worries about China???

Playing stupid can be done only for a limited time.


Hey, little boy, cut that "r*SSia" crap out ...We have enough imbeciles here already...we really don't need one more.

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]


...just as did that "revolution" in 2014...hahahahahahaha...


Sins??? How tall was the tree you fell down from head first? Colonialism was a crime and the only shame was that the locals didn't slaughter all Euro colonizers the day they arrived.

Now I understand why some hate Columbus. No, he didn't discover "America". He was the first illegal alien who traveled to America without a visa or permission.

When he landed, America was already "discovered" and well-known to Americans.


Hey, genius, they heard of Europe. Poland is where you go after you land in Europe. Duh!

Life / Poetry and Poets of Poland [58]

More slowly - than turtles - with freight - on their - backs,
The drowsy - steam engine - sets off - down the tracks.
She chugs and she tugs at her wagons with strain,
As wheel after wheel slowly turns on the train.
She doubles her effort and quickens her pace,
And rambles and scrambles to keep up the race.

What a load of crap...

So what is that "poem" about and how does it make me more knowledgeable?

Can I walk into the bar and say, hey, guys, let me tell you what I just read...They would kill me halfway trough it...

Life / Poetry and Poets of Poland [58]


Name one. Then compare the total number of love poems written by both genders for the other one.
You missed a hyphen.

My "pension" would support me in Poland very well but that would be the last consideration on my pro list.
The first is feeling plugged in, with English as the connector. In this respect, Americans are hard to replace.
The best testing ground to reveal the difference are hospitals and the people who work there. You immediately get the feeling that they are your best friends.

It was this test that made me leave Poland after only three days on my second visit.

Then it must be your room and the things you miss.
The number one reason I don't travel to foreign countries is English. And it better be American English. Trips are stressful enough and I don't need another aggravation. No, I am not curious what an Italian taxi driver has to say about Nero.

Poles under 30 were amazingly good at it in spite of the indoctrination they get from the "British" professors. In that contest, the US wins hands down.

In my case, it's my family.

Life / In Poland on holiday - need help with bad case of homesickness [108]


When I am away from home for a couple of weeks, the sense of aloneness is always getting to me after the first three days. I can easily imagine that it's a lot harder on women as their desire to approach perfect strangers is just not there for a number of very good reasons.

Life / Poetry and Poets of Poland [58]


Because men want to get laid everywhere.

I don't recall a love poem written by a woman to a man.

Poetry is a tool to bullsh*it and dazzle, not inform, by prioritizing form ahead of the message. Better bullsh*iters write better poetry.


Hey, a-hole, did I make any personal comments about you?

Life / Poetry and Poets of Poland [58]

Lit is a tool to tell stories, not to dazzle readers with how great a word juggler the author is.
Words that rhyme make me physically nauseous. Like twirling objects...

Poetry, like roses, is for chicks and was invented by guys who want to get laid but don't have enough money for a movie and dinner.

Eventually, we will agree on something.

I would chop the men who let these women carry all that wood.

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]

But they didn't look like anorexic "supermodels".

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


It's worse. Women use kitchen knives on their sleeping husbands. Easy kill...This at least makes sense...


Any story that is designed to make you feel more potent than realistically possible is bad. On the men's side, it's these idiotic movies showing the hero jumping from roof to roof or going against the traffic at 100 kph, in Paris, at noon, and nobody dies...

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]

Stories like this one are anti-women.

Women are smart enough to know that they are simply not capable to fight men with swords. "Women can do everything men can" only leads to frustration and feeling of inadequacy.

Their strength is being able to manipulate men because men are stupid, trusting, and heroic. A terrible combination...See volunteers in Ukraine...

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


16-year-old girls can barely help moms in the kitchen or carry a school backpack without complaining.
That sword would be too heavy to swing for the average 25-year-old guy. Unless it's made out of styrofoam.
Styrofoam or not, that fight should last 3 seconds.

My version would be more popular.

Life / Poetry and Poets of Poland [58]

Iwaszkiewicz was bisexual and homoerotic; those themes are present in his poetry and prose works. In his diaries he describes himself as a "homosexual"...

It never fails. If Lyzko likes it, it will stink if you dig deep enough.
No, thanks. You can have him...

USA, Canada / Netflix's The Witcher TV series [39]


Simple. A chick smiles and offers sex. The guy drops the sword and his pants. Then, when his mouth is wide open from heavy breathing, a pinch of arsenic...Case closed.

There...My script is better ...
