Life / New Polish generation prefers black culture? [145]

he number of great blacks is heavily out-numbered by bad... like any culture... but I said by bad... not nobodies...

ditto for Sikhs and whites or anybody really isn't it?
I was really not surprised to find out you are from India,,,your people hating Afro Caribbeans is a major source of racial friction and trouble in my city.

As for your comments about "mad drug addicted single mothers" the vast majority of single mothers of all colours are working hard to raise their kids as best they can.

Life / New Polish generation prefers black culture? [145]

spot on Mr Midas.....its all dumb stereotypes and assumptions and media driven generalisations

why can not black people bring a taste into a country without bringing it down, or do they only appeal to low-class, better yet, uneducated people.

What is this rubbish?? Ever heard of CLR James author of the "The Black Jacobins" and many other academic books, Viv Richards world class cricketer, Benjamin Zephaniah poet, Black women writers from America such as Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison, plus, perhaps better known, many famous musicians and contemporary TV presenters??

This thread is getting silly....and then they talk about "uneducated"

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

Well, I won't be satisfied until I get you up to a 90% agreement level ;) ...but please, don't join the "slut walk" :)

hmm not sure about 90 per cent... I will let u know..:)
btw wtf is a "slut walk"? My mum used this word in quite a different sense, as in "you little slut your room is a mess and you haven't washed your hair".....so maybe its a load of scruffy women??

why should he unless she is disabled or maybe he if was just being courteous as one would to anyone who is passing through the door just behind you...

As for that dreadful thing of messing about with the chair at dinner as though the woman is so weak she cannot move it herself...it's just an insult.

And as for the gift thing..well I have this female friend who loves to be "spoilt" (as she calls it) by her men, and indeed would expect nothing less.......I asked her why he had given her his car,,she smirked and said it was becasue she was " good in bed". I found this disgusting as though we are all nothing more than w.hores. (mind u if anyone wants to give me a car, mines a BMW, thanks)

Life / Customs - First Holy Communion in Poland [42]

Hence why something religious is appropriate, not money.

Of course, a good idea could be to give some religious items and make a donation to a Catholic foundation on their behalf - many churches will have their own foundations set up to help people in the parish

oh my my......how high your horse is....

My kids were furious with me for not making them catholics when they heard their Polish cousin had copped 800 zl for his first communion. 800 zl!!! Says it all for me about the catholic church really.

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

"It's raining cats and dogs" which means it's raining heavily.

"Put your thinking cap on" which obviously means to think carefully.

I blame out of date course books ...I noticed alot of speakers of english as a second language say stuff like this and have no idea that nobody in UK or US has used these idioms since about 1945

lyzko: It's still English, yet mightily weak and watered down.

I think he means that William doesn't sound as "posh" as his father - but hardly anybody speaks like Prince Charles any more. I would hardly call William's English "weak and watered down" - both he and his lovely wife are very well spoken and sound like the well-educated people they are..:)

Must agree with Lyzko though - English is only "easy" at a basic level.

something I can't do in English because of its stringent word order. For example, Mówi Maria, or Maria Mówi.

but English does not have a stringent word order at all. The word order in English is not at all stringent...
English word order stringent not at all is...(shurely shome mishtake ed)
Anyway good luck with "the hardest language in the world" ( forgetting all about Chinese, Japanese, Arabic etc etc)
Possibly what the OP meant was.."it's one of the more difficult European languages"

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

Did they actually find an englishman in london though?
London is not the UK,its full of rude aggressive arse holes and wanna be compton gangstas...a sh!te hole in the bottom corner of a country

So you have been there a couple of times and had a bad time?
London is the centre of civilisation in the UK, compared to whichever provincial hellhole you have the misfortune of hailing from, full of fantastic people and amazing random conversations. And yes plenty of English people. Thank you.

To me, you sound rude and aggressive. is this a case of projection?

I dont think Polish people are rude they have a different culture and there is less insincere "Please" and "thank you"

Love / Do Polish Women age well? [153]

society where women forsaked make-up and clothing (creams, high heels, nylons, etc) would indeed be an interesting one

forsaked make up... and CLOTHING ....would put u off your dinner Zimmy..;)
Seriously have you thought about moving to Germany..where its rare to see a woman (except prostitutes) staggering about in high heels or with her face covered with make up, to me this is refreshing, although I have heard nasty comments about this from other women such as "unfeminine", "lesbian" etc etc.

Women, if you are in your fifties, please don't wear a mini-skirt. Same if you're fat.

MEN!!
If you are over 50, please don't wear tiny trunks on the beach with your huge belly hanging over the top.

Don't overdo it with the grecian 2000 or the comb over, we know you are grey and bald.

Don't use stinky after shave , it's a real turn off.

If you have been brainwashed by machismo and are still single over the age of 40 you are probably a raging alcoholic, and smell like a brewery. In this case splash on the aftershave, but you will still stink.

Don't wear shirts undone halfway down so we can see your grey haired wrinkly chests.

Dont blame women for everything when you're young, middle aged or ancient like Zimmy xxx

Study / University degrees and schools in Poland. Not interested in the proof of my degree? [10]

ne even got asked to see their degree, had a CRB and so on.

I have had to show my degree many times, in private language schools in England. CRB is only necessary if you are asked to work with people under 16 (or vulnerable adults)(I think), and so I was asked for it only once, when engaged to work for an agency teaching ESOL in FE colleges. Private language schools have never asked for a CRB, as they are usually for 16 plus. I think if you were engaged on a summer school for teenagers, you are more and more likely to be asked for this. Although the reality is you are asked to sign a piece of paper saying you have no objections to being checked. (Have signed this few times) THen the schools don't check anyway as the process is very expensive. Quite honestly the whole thing is a farce.

As for teaching in Poland, when I was there, there were one or two right pervy types in town, lets just say I definitely wouldn't want them teaching my daughter..(or son) At that time people were teaching English without a degree or qualifications at all, let alone any police check. I daresay the situation has changed, and rightly so.

Life / Do you think women have the place they deserve in modern Polish society ? [31]

. What do you think?

I don't really see that much would have changed in the last 12 years...to be honest.
Also your point about women retiring earlier and living longer might seem to favour women, but in fact being forced out of employment at a younger age, thereby being pushed onto a pension which is smaller anyway having made fewer tax contrubutions, simply impoverishes women further.
