Food / Buying alcohol, wine in Poland. It's very difficult. [85]

Yellow tail? It sounds more like a type of sushi, Pete :) If it's a kind of wine, I can hunt it down.

Yeah.. give it a shot. It's really caught on in the US / GB:

The climate isn't that different from in Chile where some of the best stuff comes from.

Aussie wine is pretty good too. Ever had Yellow Tail? Very nice and you don't need a bank loan to get some.

I had a bottle of their red wine last night and it is SOOOOO soft. Mellifluous little notes,

Hmm.. wine snob, heh?

I prefer Mad Dog 20/20 .. It also doubles a paint remover.

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

Also, to somehow expect 5-star treatment through simply having to pay for sth, LOL.

Oh God.. nothing more annoying that that..

No aimless walking around the streets doing nothing.

Hmm.. yeah I haven't been to Poland yet but it fits a lot of Amer Poles.. like that dude, Nuncza.

Well, there's people like that in the States.. you can't do it too long or you'll starve. :-(

USA, Canada / The proper behavior an American should show when visiting Poland [115]

Most American tourists are not into history, art, nor European culture in general.

That's a generalization and an assanine one as well. Kind of like me as an American reminding you " the exalted European" not to take a p.iss on our buildings should you come over. Buildings are not urinals as they are in most of Europe. Also, it's customary to bathe everyday in the States. Unless you are a whino.. or "hooker" as you like the term.

It's fun to play with stereotypes, no? Of course, arrogant European that you are you think you are beyond reproach.

Study / Rumor about racism - will I be fine in Poland as a black International student from Africa? [245]

In the future, my grandchildren will live on a reservation, similar to the Native Indians and Abos in the New World. Mass immigration from tin pot third world nations must cease. If you diversity darlings want to help these "poor" people, may I suggest you offer your services to the tens of thousands of charities operating in these hellholes.

General truth here.. but the sky is not falling just yet.. Of course, as I'm kicking cans down Yankee alleys I cannot preach to the European.

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

Islam is radical.

Most of the time.. yes. It's pretty much time everyone in the West came to terms with this.

You stick you hand in a barrel of snakes.. some of them won't bite you. Doesn't mean it's advisable practice.

Life / Wszystkich Świętych (All Saints Day) // Dzien Zaduszny (All Souls day) [93]

You would have to be pretty hard not to be moved by all this....I am going to go to one this year...just for the atmosphere...

Yes man, I believe it, you're lucky. You don't have to be religious to get that feeling. I like that pic that Greg guy put on here.. I hope to see more like that. This is huge thing around the world. It's when you really remember those who aren't here anymore. The Old World had all kind of feast days for this and the Catholics have continued the tradition. It's an ancient vibe though.

Life / Wszystkich Świętych (All Saints Day) // Dzien Zaduszny (All Souls day) [93]

It's beautiful, and it's a special feeling that is hard to describe

Not kidding around, (uhh for once) I really would like to experience this for myself in Poland. I'm going to Mass tomorrow even and I hardly ever go. This is one of the most important days for Catholics. Anyone actually if you'd like to participate.

Death isn't the end at all. Don't live your life thinking that way.

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

Russians have to spend most of their reserves on weapons and then run out of cash to buy tires for nuclear transporters ;)

So they can just invade Poland on foot of which missile defense won't be too effective against.

Yep, yep.. let's antagonize the Russians for absolutely no reason.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [582]

Prince

.. boo hoo, who bankrupted the Soviets? It wasn't you that's for sure. You wouldn't even be in the EU without the West. Betrayal? What a clown.

You marched on the Czechs, okay? You and the Bear. Skip the sanctimony.
