Classifieds / Recruitment agencies in Poland to hire workers? [47]

My opinion: recruiters here are garbage by default until proven otherwise - and most likely they will prove themselves repeatedly and without fail to be garbage (as seen from both potential employer and potential employee viewpoint). No ethics whatsoever.

I am under the impression that recruitment here is a standard career path for those that failed in everything else or have no real competence besides a piece of paper from some school that means that they blindly memorized their psychology texts or cheated on their exams.

Sorry if I offended any good recruiters. I am not aware of your existence.

Food / Russia vs Poland Vodka war [76]

Charcoal filtering removes the rough edges found in cheaper vodkas.

And adds cost, therefore cheaper vodkas skip this step. Looking forward to the next excuse to drink :)

vodka

What is the difference between vodka and neutral spirit other than concentration? Both start off exactly the same, and one is distilled further to achieve a higher alcohol concentration. Am I missing any part of the equation?

Personally, I love and appreciate Polish potato vodka (eg. Luksusowa). I don't mind grain vodkas, but simply prefer the potato based ones.

News / Coal-Powered Poland Refuses to "Go Green". EU Ain't Happy. [304]

"Polish coal sector suffers PLN 1.45bn loss in H1"
Poland's hard coal sector generated a loss of PLN 1.45 billion in H1 2015, almost the double of the PLN 772 million loss it inflected a year earlier, Katowice branch of industrial restructuring agency ARP data show.

Production volume edged down by 850,000 tons to 34.3 million tons. Production volume declined for steam coal, but increased for coking coal. Sales volumes increased 8.9% to 35.6 million tons.

Yet PiS want to dump more money in this financial and environmental blackhole!

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

shining life of Leopold "Poldek" Socha

I have seen the movie "W ciemności" about him, but as far as movie goes, he was from Lwów not £ódź.

Life / What is Poland's view on obesity? How healthy, fit are Poles? [166]

sugary drinks

It is very easy to forget how much energy is contained within drinks because they are drinks.

Also, there are many "juice drinks" in Poland, some with less than 20% actual juice, the rest being water, sugar, colors and flavors. They tend to be labelled in a way that makes them appear almost like real juice - until you find the word "drink" written somewhere in a smaller font. Good luck finding that when grocery shopping alone with a fussy kid! They are particularly bad because they don't even hydrate - they can actually cause dehydration.

Even hard to find real juice that isn't from concentrate.

Life / Single mothers in Poland [175]

But I also think that the selfish men who get girls like this pregnant should also be made to take responsibility

Fair enough, but how do you do that in a male dominated society that throws blame and responsibility exclusively on women? She sleeps around = s|ut, he sleeps around = stud. You know what I mean?

Life / Single mothers in Poland [175]

You can find the same in any country of the world.

You are right Johnny. Everyone from every country has seen this teenage single mom.

In light of the perceived inability of this young mom to take care of a child, you and I both assume or know that this kid will end up unhealthy, both physically and mentally. He/she will probably drop out of school at a young age and turn to drugs and crime. Does it sound logical?

What do you think about:
1. Either provide adequate sex education so the pregnancy is less likely to happen in the first place,
2. Or allow this girl to have an abortion instead of allowing her to poison her unborn child with nicotine and alcohol before it is even born?

Life / Single mothers in Poland [175]

Analyze this:

I was visiting some people in a medium sized town not far from Warsaw.

Right outside their home, there was a house decorated with a life-sized poster of the new president elect.
Out of that house came a pregnant teenage girl, maybe 16-17 years old, and around 7-8 months. She was holding a burning cigarette in one hand, and an open beer bottle in the other hand. She wore very high heels (she could barely walk) and a very short dress (it did not cover her bottom). Her skin was not just tanned but actually burned from sun exposure, and she was wearing a stupid amount of badly applied makeup. She had no wedding band, and every second word that came out of her mouth was "kurxx". But she did have a HUGE golden cross hanging from her neck.

Edited - I doubt sheer firepower will play the main role. If anything, information and energy capabilities will be the keynote speakers.

@Polonius3; nobody is forcing you to follow Hollywood stars and you are certainly free to raise your children not to follow them. It is called freedom of choice.

I don't need no bloke hanging about, I can raise my kid alone, bla-bla-bla.

If you have a problem with that then don't become a single mother, and raise your kids to believe that it is wrong, but don't force your opinion upon the rest of the world. Fair enough?

News / There is no Poland without the Church! [178]

Sounds plain and simple, but remember, you want to oppose X because you think that X undermines the foundation of society, what is there to stop you at X? Maybe tomorrow you will want to oppose Y & Z and then A & B... Plain and simple enough?

As much as you like to believe or even claim otherwise, people that share the same views as yourself are increasingly in the minority (a trend that is happening in Poland as well). Did you ever stop and question yourself? Maybe think a little bit outside the box? Did you question what you believe are the foundations of society and are they really the foundations of society? Nobody wants you to become homosexual or change your gender. Nobody wants to stop you from going to Church or even raising your kids based on a belief system that you are comfortable with, and most certainly nobody is going to ever deny the validity of your "man + woman" marriage. The real question is, why do you want to inflict these pains upon others? What makes you think that you are right and they are wrong? More importantly, have you ever seen what happens to societies that take on intolerance as a way of life (which is exactly what you are promoting)?

I fear the Australian professor makes sense. But be care of using academic expressions like

because certain paranoid people might come in here and blast you for forcing the

And already PiS showing the ugly truth behind the mask. Pani BS stated "The basis of Polish energy must be coal". Pani BS, I hope you and your children get asthma, because this is exactly what you did for millions of Polish children with this statement.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

Poles would no doubt support any legislature that afforded them more freedoms including gun ownership.

They really, really, really see the gun issue differently.

Being raised in the US means seeing gun ownership as a constitutional right. That has become a deeply ingrained cultural thing. Poles did not grow up under the same influences. The average Pole sees gun ownership as "exotic" to say the least.

Another important aspect is, Polish law somewhat limits one's ability to use force for self defense as far as I know. For example, you can get into trouble with the law if you use force against an intruder inside your own home, unless you can prove your life was in clear and present danger. I invite someone more familiar with Polish criminal law to elaborate further on this.

Equally applies to you. I am pretty sure I can find dozens of incidents where you used these expressions in a single paragraph to describe people that don't agree with your particular agenda.

Yes that is very strange. I just returned from the city center a short while ago, and I spent most afternoon there and didn't notice anything?

I was in Church this morning (family thing) and the priest said something rather interesting to me personally. He said nobody should feel obligated to come, but if we come it should be entertaining and interesting. What do you think he meant?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

Yeah I wonder how firearm ownership would mix with the raging alcoholism spread throughout Poland, because you can bet that the drunks will be the first inline to apply for licenses. And with open borders policy, I am sure authorities in other countries will appreciate all the drunks driving through their cities with guns in their glove boxes.

You think armed civilians (without proper military training, just basic firearm training) carrying a bunch of pistols and rifles could stop invading armies?

Here is a current example for you. Most civilians in Syria today own firearms, usually assault rifles (like the proper AK series, not the watered down semi-auto version you can buy in America), and many have machine guns, heavy gauge sniper rifles and even RPG launchers. Up to the year 2004, EVERYONE older than 12 has had at least basic firearm training because it was in school curriculum, and every adult male has had 30 months of military training (compulsory service).

You think 100,000 men with light arms and basic firearm training can stop an army of 2500 soldiers equipped with 20 APC's, 10 tanks, 5 helicopters and 3 strike jets backing them up, and no regards to rules of engagement? If you think so, then I recommend you go and take a look at what most Syrian cities look like today. And don't ever say that would never happen here.

And troll in KSA, I wonder how Saudi authorities will react when you apply for a gun license. I suggest you go back to Lebanon where every schmuck owns a small arsenal. I wonder how well that protected them from being invaded and conquered several times over the past few decades.
