History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]


Norway, like Poland, has the right of blood.

Can you give me an example because it does sound a bit surreal?

Why are you mixing confessions into it? Who would even know they were told something in confession?


Like any other criminal. Why should they get a free pass?

Didn't notice to be fair but then I don't live there.

During Euro etc I definitely noticed displays of national pride. Definitely much more than in UK.

And how do you call moving the priest to a different parish, not informing the police or the parents of the kids in the new parish?

Who said it's bad?

But that is school teaching certain value. For some tolerance towards others is in the same category. Why teaching one is ok and the other isn't?

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

Every school is raising kids and promoting certain values. The actions as posted on Pawian's pics are not the work of a single teacher.

Well, the balance must be there. There are generally accepted standards and no parent can just say no to it. And if they do they have to home school. If a parent wanted his kid to be taught that for example Catolicism is the only option and all the other Faith's should be crushed even by force would that be ok?

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]

Btw, mentioning the app by it's name was causing me to get kicked out for spam :)

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]

As someone who lives far away from family and friends I can say smartphone plus certain app are a godsend. Even more so now when travelling is so restricted.

On the smartphone thread it kicks me out...

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]

I loved my Samsung flip phone! I think it was the phone I actually got attached to.

But since all sensible conversation finished here I will switch my attention somewhere else

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]


I agree. It's just too convenient.

On the other hand I almost don't use computer outside of work so if I manage to reduce my screen time on the phone I'm on a good path :)

Btw, talking or texting while driving is not a smartphone issue but any phone . I am guilty of making maybe 5 phone calls in my life while driving. And at least one of them was in a dead stop traffic jam when I had to call I will be late

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]


Really? I don't.

I try to limit pointless use. When one article leads to another and so on. I regularly read chosen websites and after that try to put down the phone and take book instead.

I wouldn't want to go completely smartphone free as staying in touch, managing my accounts and doing shopping is so easy...

Language / Endearment, friendship, etc. in Polish [38]

A. It's not necessarily romantic but if the girl has a crush she might get her Hope's up

B. No romantic suggestions. You will often hear people address groups like that.

Po polsku / Krótkie tłumaczenia z polskiego na angielski i z angielskiego na polski [32]


Duma jest pozytywna, ma dobre podłodze, bazuje na prawdziwych wartościach. Pycha to duma na sterydach, często bez prawdziwych podstaw.

It's "Pycha kroczy przed upadkiem"

Life / Boże Ciało (Corpus Christi) - a beautiful celebration in Catholic Poland [22]


These are work of arts.I always admired them.
My mum told me that for the first time there wasn't any decorations on my street. Even though I'm no church supporter I do feel sad that with falling believers numbers those things will disappear too.

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


Our thinking process?
I remember being taught that the real accomplishment is to make your language cleaner, simpler and clearer even if talking about complicated things.

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


That is what my English teacher once said comparing English and German:
English is easy at first and then it becomes hard. German start very hard but then it's much easier.


In my experiencea lot of employers are quite clueless about what they need ( Poland was very bad in that respect)


True but usually there is not much need.
