Food / Traditional and lesser known foods of Poland [34]

Thanks for the info, polkamaniac. I knew about it but I was wondering why it isn't that popular as a dish. It obviously has an Italian core influence with a Polish twist. I like it, it's really good a while before a workout for energy. Not that I work out, mind ;)

Ask yourself what uprising means, Bzibby. Anyway, I'm not gonna get into semantics.

Solidarity was controlled by communists so why would they shake off that which they are proponents of?? Read up on Petr Cibulka, a Czech journalist. He wrote on the underlying forces behind the demise of communism.

£azanki is not that known but I wonder why

Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]

I think some mistake lying for the need to 'wykombinować' :)

Real Estate / Can foreigners buy land, house, or apartment in Poland? [60]

In order to get credit, it is better to have the karte podbytu as some banks are old fashioned. PKO, for example. The right to buy is not in question provided that you are clean and have no other hindrances.

I can't divulge that info, you have to try harder than that ;) ;)

Ask yourself how Wałęsa did it and how previous revolts and uprisings failed, e.g 1968 students

Oh, they did. The timing was wrong, though.

The first to bring down communism, LOL. You clearly know nothing about global engineering.

Poland is not richer than Israel.

Last Christian nation to save Europe? What, you are much stronger than Spain?

Who doesn't, southern?

History / Should David Irving, Holocaust denier, be allowed to run tours to Poland? [246]

It's the after-effects that you have to worry about, BB. Hitler was clearly gearing up for sth sinister. The same as that Terry Jones/Koran idiot. Opinions are opinions but his speech was inflammatory and designed to bring about anarchy.

Of course you can harm people through talking, BB. Never heard of slander or defamation? Harm is not only physical, you know ;) People believe character attacks all too often.

History / Should David Irving, Holocaust denier, be allowed to run tours to Poland? [246]

We can't just get rid of those that don't serve our agendas in one dismissive stroke. David Irving, though I may disagree with him, is taking a 'bring it' attitude and why not discuss it with him? After all, none of us were there at those camps so we are relying on hearsay, snippets and books of dubious credibility.

Important is that debate occurs in the first place and not who wins. Even more so when it comes to our own humanity.

Southern, I can't see your game at all. Sexual appetites? It's not so visible.

As a Scot, I have to disagree. Poles have designed/invented some amazing things and have shown their ingenuity time and again.

Life / Why Polish people should be proud of being Polish? [370]

I've noticed ;)

I wonder if Poles are proud of pyzy. I have absolutely no sense of taste or smell now. The funny thing is, they taste the same when I have no cold whatsoever.

Oh, so the people who follow Islam here are not real? They are illusions? They are holographic images? The Polish guy I watched seemed Polish enough to me and he follows Islam. He's more Polish than I am.

Then why do you disrespect the 0.05% of the population by attacking their faith?

Life / Why Polish people should be proud of being Polish? [370]

That's rubbish as there are Polish muslims. Besides, what do you know of Islam?

GROM would wipe the floor with them. The Polish police are hard nuts too and wouldn't hesitate to deal them their fate. Anyway, that's academic as Poland has done them no wrong.

USA, Canada / Any Poles in Orange County, CA? [40]

There are plenty according to my Taiwanese-American friend that lives there. She has many Polish friends.

Life / Why Polish people should be proud of being Polish? [370]

They shouldn't be proud of their attitude towards viewing people in different jobs. They look down their noses at certain professions which I find laughable. Where would they be without those at train stations, scaffies and other 'lowly' professions. Also, the attitude of those that work for 800-1200PLN is appalling oftentimes. People need to realise that all manner of jobs need to be done and you cannot humph and grumph because the salary attached to that given occupation is too low. If you feel that it is, then protest. Go to a trade union and raise the issue.

This is pride in its bad form. I really get a laugh of those that swank around here, pretending to be important in their cheap imitation furs or second-hand suits. They are little better than the crap under my shoe.

The REAL Polish pride is better. They can be proud of many things and certain characters raise their profile. As Pudzian says 'Polska górą'. The thing is, pride is pride but life requires more than that to carve out a living. Still, hats off to them for defending that which is Polish.

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [190]

Screwing up the national anthem shouldn't put any blemishes on the friendship ;)

That tells me nothing, really. What did he do?

No, that wasn't the reason and you know it.

We didn't launch a second war on them, CK, Putin did. You couldn't accept the first loss given the strategic importance of Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingusetia to you. CK, why did the Chechens fight so ferociously?

Bere who?

News / Chechen Congress in Poland, Russia frowns [90]

Because it's Polish territory, CK. What sponsors? The Spetsnaz catches some but they also give them weapons. Russia is full of wild types so why are you surprised? You kept the Polish journalists away from the crash site in Smoleńsk when it was their God-given right to do their jobs. Paranoid, control freak country!!

News / Chechen Congress in Poland, Russia frowns [90]

This guy is not Temirbulatov (The Tractor). Know him, CK? I think Putin is looking for mutual cooperation here, trying to make it a Polish issue.
