Love / My wife has been secretly sending money back to Poland [16]

after some 10 years in a marriage, when you jump at your wife its like that you jump on your own brother.

Yes, it happens to simpletons. But intelligent people know how to plan their marriage so it gradually develops as a constant novelty for decades.

Work / How much Father Christmas earns in Poland [4]

Maybe I picked the wrong job :)

The grass always looks greener on the other side. But it is usually delusive, so think twice before taking crucial decisions.

Life / Conflicting views about life in Poland? [45]

Poland has an ignorant fascination with the West.

Yes, exactly. Since 966 - baptism of Poland. This fascination has become a sort of national tradition, even though some crazies try shift the trend towards the East from time to time.

Language / Slavic languages words similarities with Polish [240]

There's a lot more discrepancy between pronouncing and spelling in French or English

yes, and they both have long words, too. E.g., I remember one - extraordinaire - 5 syllables. Extraordinary - 6 syllables.

I vaguely remember without googling that ciołek meant an ox in the past. That is why today it is used for retards - oxen are believed to be slow at thinking.

1) Many words are long and sometimes difficult to pronounce.

Hey, I know such a word! Ekstraordynaryjny - 7 syllables.

2) A lot of consonants.

Yes, gżegżółka.

3) A lot of "r", "sh", "sch".

Yes, my business partner 20 years ago was called Szaszkiewicz.

Do you think a reform is needed?

Yes, but let it be natural, not forced.

Food / What Polish foods and brands do you miss when you go to other countries? [216]

ozory ... I bit a piece and it was like biting your own tongue on novocaine (or someone else's tongue) I almost barfed

Then it means sb didn`t cook them properly. I have them a few times a year - when boiled long enough, they are delicate and soft like golonka. I either have them for big dinners or slice onto a sandwich. The tissue in them is regular meat, just take a look:

Ooops, in a famous Polish comedy naturalisation meant sex change operation. Did they do it to you too?

When in the UK, I would probably also miss smoked eel, my fav, because of delicate fragrant meat. I read that eel isn`t appreciated in Britain. Is it true?

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [402]

Brudnicka is connected with brud - dirt, filth. Imagine the name Joe Dirtnick - how does it sound?
Ścisłowicz sounds more neutral - ścisły means tight or precise. Imagine AbrahamTightovitz - how does it sound?

News / E.U. Denounces Poland's Authority on LBGTQ Free Zones [150]

children from LGBT households have far more learning disabilities

That`s a little manipulation if unexplained.

Third, the large majority of children of same-sex couples from the 2000 census were children from prior heterosexual relationships; thus, most of the children being raised by same-sex couples at the time of the 2000 census had previously lived through divorce or parental break-up, which research has shown to be traumatic for some children

One among many.

redfm.ie/news/cork/fermoy-temporarily-cuts-ties-with-its-twin-town-in-poland-over-anti-lgbt-stance/

Fermoy town council have told their Polish counterparts that the relationship will be severed entirely if Nowa Deba doesn't change it's position by September.

You think Poles are going to cry over it?? ROFL!!!

Yes, they will when EU countries ban the LGBT-free zones residents to enter their territory. hahahahaha

whereas I was wondering why

No, all who quoted you perfectly understood your intentions. E.g., I said that most locals do it on the initiative of their parish priest.

The Poles constantly make fun of Germanistan, French Emirate, United Kaliphate, etc. for the hordes of kebab and ninja

Hmmm, my workmates don`t. And I think they are Polish. Is there sth wrong with them? hahahaha

But you are not a believer yourself. So why are you so engaged?

Towns in Western Europe gradually withdraw from partnerships with Polish places which declared themselves LGBTfree zones.

kafkadesk.org/2020/02/22/french-town-suspends-ties-with-polish-sister-city-over-lgbt-rights/

The French town of Saint-Jean-de-Braye has broken its partnership with its Polish sister city of Tuchów last week after the latter adopted resolutions deemed contrary to LGBT rights.

Once they're offered an image -

OOps, you watched too many drastic images. Who introduced you to that subject in this way?

Yeah I find it disgusting.

that was end of the party for me.Yuck!

My mum always repeated that a true male must eat true male dishes: tatar raw beef steak, tripe and golonka. I had refused to eat flaki until the day I came back hungry as a wolf from a kayaking practice - there was only tripe on the menu and I devoured two bowls - I was 13 years old.

Today I relish all three dishes in honour of my long gone mum.

Why are LGBT free zones controvercial in Poland?
Coz they remind people of German Nazi laws which banned Jews or Poles from certain places in occupied Poland: public transport or parks.

Johhny, do you know that 6 million Polish citizens perished under Nazi and Soviet occupation during WW2? Why do you support old occupants` regulations in a new array by rightard rulers of Poland?


  • No entry to the park for Jews

  • No entry for Poles and dogs

  • Only for Germans

theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/16/dutch-city-ends-ties-with-polish-twin-declared-gay-free-zone-nieuwegein-pulawy

A Dutch town has severed its longstanding ties with its twin in Poland after the Polish municipality established itself as an official "gay-free zone". The town council of Nieuwegein, south of Utrecht, voted almost unanimously to end its friendship with Puławy in eastern Poland.

they put sign 'not legally i guess' in those places with the placards that read - LGBT free zones.

They put it, take a photo and take it down to go to another place which adopted the zone. So, even if sued, they will be absolved due to low criminality of the act.

Actually, it is your own fault. Instead of developing the topic as the title says, you are publicly dreaming about concentration camps for gays. Admit you are only able to commence sth but leading it into on-topic progress is beyond your capabilities. The reason is you know too little about Poland.

Youy`d better not start new threads if you don`t know how to run them. Simple.
Ha!
