News / Polish President Lech Kaczynski and gov officials die in a plane crash in Russia [686]


He does, but you? Look, a Scottish 'English teacher' just out of school with two years in the country like you is just not a person to understand much about this country. You seem a little obssessed with dispensing your opinions based on leftist news sources though. You are like a tourist who went to Kenya for two weeks and now is the expert on Kenya...in his neighborhood back home.

You are able to say idiotic things like this about the original cockpit voice recorder which the Polish side has not received yet and it looks like MAK is not going to release it soon. We received a digital copy so far. A digital copy.

Life / What gifts to take? Presents customs in Poland. [173]

Sometimes they give them...cars. Sometimes they request things they need, like irons, carpets. You did not do a search, I see.

Girls, you've lost touch with today's reality. Type in "Prezenty dla nauczycieli," read what goes on today, and then tell us about teacher appreciation.


This prepares the children to appreciate judges, prosecutors, and other government officials later in life. Wonder if children buy gifts for teachers in countries where corruption in very low as opposed to our country.

Life / What is the best city in Poland to live in? Relocating to Poznan? [41]

Although from Śródmieście and Mokotów, my favorite place in Poland is Toruń. Lovely Old Town, noticeably more mellow people than in Warsaw, much cheaper, I could go on.

What is nice lady like that doing with a dirty biker like you? Oh, never mind.

I would say flowers are fine and a sincere thank you would be sufficient. If you read some of the stories of greedy teachers requesting 'gifts,' you might change your mind. Not all teachers are as dedicated as your girl. Now, some teachers spend extra time with slower kids and take no money for it, this is rare. The parents could buy them a gift then. Many more do charge.

What kind of gifts does she get? A rug or an iron, I suppose?


Have you ever given your parents a gift for raising you?

This practice should be discouraged.

In the past, lower classes gave presents to the educated classes - lawyers, doctors, teachers, priests, etc. for basically their services in addition to paying for them. Many think today that is good manners. Still lower class mentality. I don't think teachers buy gifts for their barber or shoemaker.

Life / What is the best city in Poland to live in? Relocating to Poznan? [41]


Right, Eurola. The bad rap Varsovians get is mainly from those "Varsovians" with hay still sticking out from their shoes. The influx into the city has been detrimental to culture in general for decades, although the communists were very fond of rude and primitive people and very against intelligensia. Social advancement takes a few generations, so a hick from Mazury living in Warsaw passes for a Varsovian till he opens his mouth or has to let a lady by.

Peter Olsztyn, ever wonder why Mazurians can't come to realize that if you charge 2 zl. for every pee in the summer at the lake district, you will have a stinky, filthy region after a while. I like Olsztyn, don't get me wrong.

Law / Last Will and Testament - should items go to a Polish or EU person? [24]


That was exactly my point. I know this is not the case in the U.S. , but it is in France also, for an example. Nationality has nothing to do; blood relation does.

Are you a lawyer now? Being American, are you sure you can advise on Polish law? What about the children? The spouce? Can you ignore them in your will?

Life / I saw Polish nationalism today [263]



No, you were late. The main National ceremonies were earlier and on Plac Piłsudskiego. You went to see some sensation so you can run home and post some lies here.


lol


My favorite anti-Polish paper, Delphi's too:

Leftists call everyone nazis, fascists, racists, and antisemites. Exactly like the communists of yesteryear. Same slogans. Wyborcza inspired and organized.

Remember, were on the same side now. You didn't forget that pact we sealed some months ago. :)

Life / Best Polish actor/actress ever? [35]

She has that regal look though, and who cares about European history in Hollywood anyway.

Danuta Stenka is one of my favorites. A class act.

I doubt she is from THAT Sobieski, but...


I know that King Sobieski was not Jewish, and she would have reason to be proud of such lineage if it were true. Being proud of being Jewish in Hollywood makes sense though.

Life / Best Polish actor/actress ever? [35]


Why are you happy? Hollywood is mostly known for trashy productions. It has hardly anything to do with art. Was there a chase and a shootout in Salt? I haven't seen it.

Krystyna Janda. Unforgettable in Przesłuchanie and score of other roles.

It means with Lithuanian characters. BTW, private bus lines are fined for puting up Polish signs under the Lithuanian ones.

I think they are making a serious mistake. Like Ukraine, they will be absorbed into the Russian camp. Maybe they miss it.

This says that Lithuanian minority in Poland can write their names in Lithuanian on official Polish documents:


The Poles have asked to reciprocate. You think this is too much?

Everyone wants to belong. It gets tedious if they start listing their multiple pedigrees though.

We should not. We have nothing against them and it would be some collective punishment because one Scot is a jerk. Me no play that game.

US beef is hormone free now? That's great. :)

You will not find many beef varieties in Poland so no, our beef is not great. Texas? Pumped full of hormons, I suppose. But the Texas Charolais can be good.
