Travel / How welcoming is Poland for an American visitor? And great places to visit. [54]


What can I say, if the shoe fits…….. and so it does, in his the OP case at least.


Sarcasm is not your forte I see, it’s simply lost on your people. My statement is simply taken as a proof of big bad world in which everyone hates America. Go figure.


I’m not looking for new friends, not much into tree hugging either.


See what I mean about sarcasm?

I’ve never claimed otherwise just stated how naïve you seem to be, having unsubstantiated rumors scare you away from life’s simple pleasures. Are you suggesting his circle of friends and acquaintances are nothing but white trash? I seriously doubt it.

Travel / How welcoming is Poland for an American visitor? And great places to visit. [54]

Americans are so gullible as a people, (“many people say….” Most likely ignorant Yanks as yourself) no wonder you as a people are so easily steered and manipulated by those who are tad brighter than yourself, most often than not, not in the right direction either, you prefer rumors to the truth. Looking up something on their own or drawing their own conclusion from what they’ve just read is just way too hard for them. What can I say; when you’re right, you’re right Lewandowski, I despise lazy and ignorant people. “I’ve heard……” indeed. Most of you don’t traval anyway and thouse who are brave enough to venture outside should remain put, most of the world hates Yanks or so I’ve heard.

Language / Why is the Polish language so difficult? [309]


Less to worry about when learning the language, yet some on this very forum insist on reforming Polish spelling because they have trouble with “u” and “ó” etc. I guess it comes from ignorance as to where the root of any given word lies. It would be wrong of me to propose the same reforms in English language just to make it easier for me as a foreigner to spell. Love it or hate it but if you have the need to learn any language then by all means learn it. In the end all the hard work you put in it over the years is its own reward.


Actually, I would say the more alien the concept to the learner……….


They were simply stumped because there were only a few speakers of that particular language, besides the code crackers looked at what was the standard ways of decoding the massages at the time. They had no idea that in reality it was a real language they were dealing with but given enough time I’m sure they would most likely figure it out eventually so the legend grew. Even today most sophisticated computer programs have trouble with translations but that’s the beauty of it all. No such thing as one language being harder than any other once you have the understanding of how the grammar works.

In my opinion it all boils down to the understanding and ease of pronunciation for each individual learner who has his own pace of learning to achieve the degree of fluency he needs. Besides what is fluency anyway? If I’m fluent in street talk I’ll be considered as an uneducated moron by some academic but to my street buddies I’ll be a fvcken Genius even if the academic and I spoke only one and often enough the very same language. We all set the bar only as high as our social circles require of us making this whole argument pointless in the process.

Good philosophy.

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]


Because only Jewish ladies prefer everything half off ;) so do the math :)


If you can convince a majority of letting someone anywhere near your private parts with a sharp instrument and damage you for life takes a lot of thrust on their part, not brains so I guess the short answer is Yes, in other words they do what they are told no matter how ridicules the excuse, though some are starting to think for themselves now. I hope they keep up this trend.

UK, Ireland / Polish and East European prostitutes in the UK [240]


You mean like young American socialites, rich heiresses, starlets, singers and Hollywood celebrities who advertise their assets by either flashing their beavers in public or making sex tapes?

Rebirth is just scared shitless after reading some of those statistics, his allowance already suffers as his mother can’t make a decent living in her profession anymore. He’s also afraid for his fat little sister, how can she land herself some toothless hillbilly with a trailer when he’s more likely to watch Kim Kardashian's or Paris Hilton's sex tape on the internet? She got no chance and his allowance will suffer even more. Now throw in a much more appealing foreign competition into this equation and it’s the end of the world as he knows it, no wonder this dude is pissed.

As a matter of fact she’s my type but there’s always an exception to the general rule. For the most part, the rest had one too many burgers.

German and other western perverts who exploit the women from poorer countries more often than not, not of their own free will.


Have you now, I suppose the way the American women carry themselves don't bother you as much anymore as it seems to be the norm therefor you only see it in others. Perhaps it's just the company you keep.


EDIT: Perhaps it's just your imagination.


For a fvcking Yank you seem to know a lot about European red light districts and pûrn industry in general. Seems like you're watching blue movies a lot, you even know where your favorite stars come from, what's the matter American flicks don't turn you on anymore? There's the answer to all your questions, it's because of people like you, you see no clients no problem.

Be it as it may, I can tell you who's the Ugliest woman in America though.
Wasn't there a poll at the end of last summer officially ranking American women the second ugliest women in the world? I must admit, after seeing the picture of American socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein I have to strongly disagree, that has to be the bottom of the cesspool. She spent £2million on cosmetic surgery and I can't see improvement, one can only imagine what she must have look like before. :)))))

History / So called "inconvenient parts" of Polish history - what do you think? [158]

Give it a rest Harry, another futile attempt on your part at some dark humor.

History / So called "inconvenient parts" of Polish history - what do you think? [158]


Do you? Erika was born in Poland during the war years but only because her parents were settled there by the Nazis who expelled the Poles, her mother was there just long enough to give birth, her father a bit longer as he was in Luftwaffe. Do you know what happen to the Polish family that were the owners of the apartment they occupied? Well they themselves were forcibly removed as to what happened to them after that no one knows. Cry me a river. Speaking of civil, do you know how civil the Germans were when they were expelling Poles during the occupation? In a span of 5 months just after the Warsaw uprising some 650,000 inhabitants of that city alone were forcibly removed, some died some were sent to concentration camps most were sent to forced labor camps deep inside Germany proper. Compared to the way they treated us their treatment was lenient, some were moving out of their own free will as their army was being pushed back further and further west by the red army in fear of reprisals and for a good reason I might add, rest were simply given marching orders where they could pack up their sh1t and were told to get the fvck out but at least they were free, no extended holiday in some labor camp or concentration camp where a friendly travel agent in German uniform was ready to great them and show just how hospitable the German people can be. Was the road back a bit bumpy? Perhaps they shouldn’t have try to improve the road conditions in Poland through the use of bombs.

Interesting, Michael de Nostredame not very Jewish sounding name either but none the less.

Gęborski was a Jew so I also ask the same, Why did they? Surname perhaps that does not sound Jewish?


Simple Harry, unlike the Brits who had their (BFC) and others of course there was no such thing as Polish Free Corps but there were some Jewish SS units. :) if it makes you feel better.

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

Koztoski is misspelled, should have been "Kozłoski" or "Kozłowski". You have a "T" there instead of Polish "£", big difference. Both are formed from a root word "Kozioł" which stands for goat in Polish. "Kozłoski" is rare you'll find it mostly around "Radom" region today but "Kozłowski" is common could be anywhere in Poland.

Hudonka is new to me, originally probably "Hudon" or "Hudoń" in which case the meaning of both would have been skinny. Must have been a woman who had this surname hence ending in -ka as that's the way she would have been called but her surname would have still been "Hudon" or "Hudoń" in written form. Sounds like somewhere in eastern Poland or today's Ukraine.

Genealogy / Family name Morwitch (Anglicised) [9]

Start with this spelling Morwa, Morwic, Morwicz or Morwitz – root word morwa (mulberry).

News / Achievements of the Tusk's Polish government [538]

He’s doing his best of actually keeping the promise of Poland being like Ireland. If it wasn’t for all those unruly Poles seeking their own fortunes elsewhere he might have even reach that goal way ahead of Ireland. Who would have thought the man has the gift of Nostradamus.

This reminds me of the joke all of you probably heard already.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


Good hunting.


You’ll find it a hard work as they grow very low to the ground unlike the American verity that grow on bushes that are as tall as gooseberry bushes but much more tastier. The wild raspberries and blackberries are excellent too, so if they grow in your parts and you have a chance to go, don’t miss it.


Those are plentiful, don’t really have to have a special spot, they are tasty and being outdoors all day does wonders for your taste buds.


What? You find that the olfactory system doesn’t work as good in your old age or was it the variety that was common in Britain that did not have a particularly pleasant aroma or is it simply you’re not as picky anymore? There’s nothing like a taste of home grown tomatoes. As I recall your GF has a dacha outside of Moscow you’ll do plenty of mushroom hunting there as the Russians love their mushrooms too. If you have not done a lot of mushroom picking in Poland I suspect you'll do a lot of it there.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


Let's just wait and see how many people really go mushroom picking. Nice specimens by the way, when I was a kid gołąbki z blachy with a pinch of salt were a real treat. Did you teach your kids about mushrooms or did you leave that job for grandpa?

Go out more often and in no time you’ll be an expert too.


Depends on the types you are looking for;). I usually pick (kozaki, prawdziwki, podgrzybki, gąski, maślaki, gołąbki, kanie, opieńki, rydze, kurki.) now there are other types too but they are more rare like gronówki.

News / If Russia liberate Scotland, what would happen with Polish workers in Britain? [59]


Seems to me that Brits are thought that lesson the hard way. Didn’t you notice how they all scream bloody murder, foreign occupation, courtesy of their own government. Music to my ears.

News / If Russia liberate Scotland, what would happen with Polish workers in Britain? [59]


Seriously Crow, I imagine it would be like a scene from Braveheart, Poles and Scots lifting their kilts up showing their backside to the Russians while bagpipes are playing Mazurek Dabrowskiego somewhere in the background.

They already practice it just for this occasion, Russian liberation indeed, we all know what that means.

Travel / Why most taxis in Warsaw cheat foreigners to get more money? [38]


The fact that the taxi driver told you it’s just across the street instead of taking you for a ride proves otherwise. How would you know they drive you “around and around” when you didn’t even know that the address you were looking for was directly across the street from you? Besides after this comment do you still wonder why you are being taken advantage of? As they say there’s one born every minute, You are confused all right.

USA, Canada / Polish women are not to be trusted! They are out to get American men just for money. [62]

She just needs to change her strategy; I suggest showing more cleavage and leg to be more competitive on that market. I think she needs to advertise her assets a bit more to have an advantage over the competition; negative campaign on some forum won’t get her any dates. Of course if her leg is the size of an elephant this won’t work either but then she can always find comfort in food, true reason why you find MD’s every couple of blocks in the US. Cheaper than a shrink I suppose.
