News / How could PiS better spend billions instead of 500+ ? [280]

Well you have two choices:
Either they are morons who didn't realise that giving people 500 zl will not make people have more babies or they are liars that new it will be a benefit but lied

introduce social solidarity as part of goverment policies.

It was supposed to increase birth rate. Moronic but hey ho.

News / How could PiS better spend billions instead of 500+ ? [280]

giving money via 500+ is something that can be easily abused in terms of where the money goes at the end of the day...

Hey, the money were intended not as a benefit as such but as a procreation incentive. If making her nails will make the women have more kids...

That is how idiotic their reasoning was

Saying that I am happy that certain families receive it. Too often kids were taken away not because of abuse etc but simply because they were poor. And then the gov was paying such money to the foster parents that they would solve all their problems in the first place

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [148]

People are turning back from this apostate body towards true evangelical, biblical Christianity

Most turn to nothing . They may still believe in god but rarely do they join different denominations

If I were you, I would not let this first conversation flow for too long.

I would probably start by saying hello when passing. If they work together she may find work related reason to start a conversation

Life / Another reason Polish people and Poland pisses me off [52]

it has to be learnt not to write at szczęśćie or szczęścze or śczęszcie etc etc

Bs. Any Pole can hear the difference. Polish kids write everything by sounds they hear.
What has to be learnt is h/ch, ó/u etc

News / Raising Poland's legal drinking age to 21 [95]

Celebrations one twice a year ok (I mean little and at about 16) but giving a young person alcohol on regular basis is...stupid frankly speaking. And it's not only about alcoholism but general impact of alcohol.

As a kid I was allowed bear foam. As a teenager I could take a sip or two of wine or beer. The first proper drink I was allowed with the grown-ups was after I turned 18.

Btw, an adult can be charged for giving alcohol to under 18. Even 16/17 yo

UK, Ireland / What can I say/do about my Polish neighbours in the UK? [65]

If I am in your house I guess i can **** on your floor and molest your daughter and you can't ask me to leave

Learn to read before you post.
I said 'to the same standard'. I don't know about you but I don't sh*t on the floor or molest kids.

If someone commits a crime they should be arrested and go to court. If the court decides that way they should be deported but being a noisy neighbour' hardly applies.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

To head butt someone?

No. That would be to hit sb from a bull (walnąć kogos z byka)

Maybe there is a better translation but I don't want to make it too easy just yet.

Now something that really could be used here tonight. It's not really in the letter of this thread but definitely in the spirit. As you guys know I'm from Silesia and while I don't know Silesian too well I know few things and here is one

Love / She's muslim and I am christian, will it ever work? Has anyone had similar experiences [63]

It hurts. Even considering the fact that she's so intelligent and knows more than me about my religion.

It seems both your friends and your girlfriend have some prejudices to work on.
While you can ignore your friends if you choose so I would have a serious conversation with your girlfriend.as you both have to respect each other believes and be prepared on how to raise the kids. In the successful Muslim-Christian relationship I know the Muslim attended all family occasions celebrated in church and in their bedroom they have symbols of both religions standing side by side.

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

Made this today and I love it!

Happy about it :) od you want I can throw few morerecipies for different kaszottos your way.

I thought it might be pearl barley but it's not quite the same

Poles make few kinds depending on how much processing it needs. The one for krupnik is descaled polished(?) And crushed/broken into small pieces.

I really do like kasza gryczana prazona with meat and gravy

Picture is not mine but from this site:
