Life / Do you collect mushrooms in your country? Poles in Poland do. [94]

@zetigrek
and where is a photo of miodownik?

btw thanx for photos, that reminds me when i've been younger, i used to collect shroms and blueberries in the forest (usually in Kaczory, near Piła)- but i've never eat them (i.e. mushrooms)- because they are nasty (they are good only in bigos or zapiekanka)

Language / Maria, what is the Polish form? [30]


Mariola is a different name


no, she doesn't have a ryj ;)

Language / Polish people: did you struggle learning English - differences between both languages [76]


1.
(..)As there is no regulatory body for the English language, there is some disagreement about correct usage, though there is enough agreement that the written form of English is relatively transcendent of dialectal variation. In addition to being used in written media such as books and newspapers, it is also the basis of Signed English.(..)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_written_English

2. what means 'illegal word'?
3. language isn't a possession of some arbitrary chosen Committees, its a live thing. if i create word that can be understood by others- than this word is 'OK'.


ekhm, English has a bigger alphabet? it's just a nonsense

Language / Polish people: did you struggle learning English - differences between both languages [76]


can you provide me information about it? or did you just made it up?
and no- i couldn't agree with statement, that 'English has more words'. Word creating in Polish is really nice, you can add 'od-' 'do-' 'na-' and other suffixes, that change the meaning of word (and no, Latin suffixes aren't as 'creative')

History / The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]

not destroying a Zakon Krzyzacki (despite biting them on field)- and Contr-Reformation. Those are the biggest mistakes (in my humble opinion)

Language / Do Poles prefer US American or UK English language? [185]

American pronunciation is easier (and grammar is easier too), AmEn is much more 'clear' than British (think about all '-our' and other French borrowings!)
Also, USA's influence is bigger (I mean: most TV programs are from USA, same with music) than UK's

Love / Polish men are complete doormats (especially after they get married) [125]

... so they end in 40ies, single, childless. yeah, waiting for Mr. Perfect is so species-evolving!

hm... it is much better to print data using small (4-6) monotypic font (but everything should be capitalised) than play with photocopy... its usually much clearer... it's what i heard ;)

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [442]


right, it would be stupid to disagree with you.


i've been thinking about something that could be described rather as 'mentality' than 'normal' habits


sure; of course it also apply to women viewing men as walking wallet are much better, right? and, seriously: why the f*ck viewing them as they are (in many cases just a meet) would be 'inhumane'


lol. of course you exclude voluntary prostitution, right? ah, no, sorry: they have been enforced 'by society' (pimp, drugs etc) into it, without their faut, right?

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [442]


??
if you wish to receive full-pro service, you go to professionelle ;)


oh, yeah, right. no, actually wrong.
the moronic people do not think and do whatever other do (i.e. without thinking, 'just because'). less idiotic can think and chose: to integrate or not. question is: why should they integrate? why should they leave their old habits etc and replace them with the new ones?

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [442]

seriously- how do you think: how many of young, drunk brits come to, let say, Krakow to see *mainly* buildings, museums etc?

Language / "Poles" or "Polish people" - which is better to use? [200]

@basiamarysiacio

i don't know who you mean by 'we', but i'd not be happy if someone would call me 'Polan' (or, in fact, any other tribe-man-name). And I also see no problem when someone calls me a Pole (or Polish)- seriously, it doesn't matter (for me at least)

Life / Why so many Poles use a second hands clothes? [113]

after reading this thread, i can only say: lol, i have never read anything more retarded posts...

Love / Do Polish Women age well? [153]

in my opinion- no, they do not age well. British chicks age well- you can see quite many (i.e. much more than in poland) 40+ chicks that are still fvckable ;)

unfortunatelly (or not)- polish girls look better while being a teen or in twenties (british girl look sexier when they are ~30 yo)

eh, i give up :~

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

@davey1

well... instead of ad personam attack could you tell me: whats more rude: not carrying about someones health and life and not showing (non-existent) interest /although, I don't mean showing to someone 'f*ck off' attitude/ or not carrying about someones health and life and wearing a mask and trying to look like someone who care /but, of course, showing this in a really 'unproffesional' way, so most people will get this message/?

ah, I'd forgot: using descriptions like 'rude' etc etc is not really a valid answer.

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


oh, how someone can be 'physically rude'? explain that
and, of course, English 'how are you?' 'are you all right?' replied x8 per hour by poeple who *really* don't care about this is less rude?

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

great. another legal business f*cked by gaverment...
in short: legal business of selling *legal* drugs /mostly speed-like/, those shops was suddenly checked by Ministry of Finance (??) (ministerstwo finansow) and Sluzba Celna /well... guys who keep guard on borders, track illegal things etc/- and all those checks are with coincidence with fact, that there *will* be a novelisation of anti-drug law.

In short: do not think about opening business in Poland- because one beautiful day you will be stopped- your business will be destroyed- and you will be (probably) punished *before* your business will be illegal.
