Language / How well do Polish people understand Slovak? [88]

Slovak is easier to pronounce and to learn than Polish, so I'd go for it. It also sounds very cute.

Exactly- Cute. I really like Slovakian language. For us Polish it sounds a little like children talk and it usually makes us smile :-)

Love / Do Polish date Spanish people [50]

I would say it is your personal opinion- I don think I saw many handsome Pakistani men.... and Australian?- It is mixture of emigrants from all over the world......historically mainly English I think.

News / Polish LGBT activists perform tribute to George Michael [38]

idem you cannot compare our George with Shakin Stevens....purleeze...

To certain extend I liked both of them :-) And they are both from 80 'cheesy' music range...ha ,ha we can add Boy George too.

I believe he was just generous person. Left good memory about himself to many people whom he helped.

Of course he was popular and he sold thousand of records. When mentioned his name everyone thinks about singer not gay.

according to Delph insinuation- firstly homosexuality was legal in Poland since 1930- much earlier than in some 'highly progressive' west Europe countries who try to patronise Poland now. Secondly where are these attacks on gays in Poland? Ok some 'smirks' maybe from less tolerant person.....

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

Amusing that there are still people who read propaganda rags like GW.

From my observation the most balanced paper in UK is The Times. ( from right wing extremes like Daily Express or Daily Mail to rather left wing deluded Trotsky's Guardian).Does it exist equivalent to British Times it in Poland now?

To be honest I usually read Dziennik Polski when I am in Poland but it is rather local Krakow paper.

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

It looks that you have quite good opinion about Poles :-).

I am not sure about this self assurance. Maybe in Poland but on emigration lots of them lose lots of confidence and self assurance -unfortunately....

I think English people hate confrontation that is why when something needs to be told or resolved in a more direct way they struggle , get frustrated and that is when back stabbing starts. It is seems to be quite justified psychologically as human behaviour.

Of course it is generalisation-I also met quite a few direct , blunt people in UK.

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

but even little thing like ,when giving change in shop brits put it in customer hand not on counter as its custom in Poland.this polish way feel kinda rude to me now.

I have been living abroad for a few years but I have noticed it is changing - shop assistants in Poland started putting change in customer's hands. Not sure if it is effect of people who lived, travelled to UK who are slowly bringing this custom to Poland.

As I remember from old times polish shops had usually some small bowls when change was put in so it was not dropped on counter. I don't think it was rude just different- maybe showing reluctance to touch every customer?
