Off-Topic / English teachers - 'functioning alcoholics with a superiority complex' [54]

So, hands up. Who's an English teacher?! :-)

One third active members here?

I did find this thread most interesting however.

Yes, threads about English teachers are the most fascinating of all. Coz we are so special. Once a Teacher, Always a Teacher.

Genealogy / Any Pole with predominant Black or African ancestry? [26]

We need more Poles like that.

E.g., like that:

Love / Black girls in Poland - websites, or places where I can find them? [12]

Yes, of course. But don`t be so impatient - you will probably have to wait until more girls of the black race come to Krakow. Now the ones who are already there might be all taken by your white compatriots. Just wait a little. When I visit Krakow from time to time, I can see such couples. You will be lucky one day, too.

Life / What the idea of a black person is to Polish people? [14]

I wonder where you get your info from? Your backside?

I won`t tell you. I don`t want to spread their racist propaganda. But remember, they are not humans - more like animals.

Life / New Polish generation prefers black culture? [145]

Czesław Miłosz wrote that upon his arrival in the USA he found that African-Americans were like Poles.

Did he say it upon visiting Chicago?

Love / Do Polish men date black women?? [69]

Yes, I love it too. hahaha

Do Polish guys date black girls?

Of course. When in the USA, my Polish mates prefered to meet black women rather than white ones.

so if a black boy can go to polish school in Poland i don't think there is a problem.

Of course there isn`t. Teachers and resources make sure that black students feel welcome in Polish schools.

Life / What the idea of a black person is to Polish people? [14]

I'm just curious to find out what the idea of a black person is to Polish people.

Positive or neutral. There are quite a lot of black people here, they work in different branches, from a cashier to a doctor. Not to mention sport. Even fanatic soccer fans, who are usually racist, got used to the view of black players on the pitch.

News / Jacek Kurski, the new chairman of TVP (Telewizja Polska) [37]

the nastier and more dishonest you are the more likely they are to appoint you to an important position.

That is a frequently used policy in PiS. It is an effect of Kaczyński`s own policy of having leverage on all his men - when he does, he can be quite sure they will carry out all his orders. Dishonest people are easier to control and push around.

Language / Learning Polish but not focusing on the grammar, good idea? [37]

Because the stupid schools - like the one I attended way back - teach about languages, not languages. I spent four years "studying" Russian

Why don`t you start reading the discussion from its beginning? The OP mentioned the modern language school while you are talking about regular high school from 1960s.

I hope that after some thinking you will understand these are two different things.

The native teacher helped you get rid of your psychological barriers in speaking Polish. The same thing may happen in a language school, if you trust and like the lecturer/teacher. Probably it won`t happen doing an online course.

Dirk, debating with financial imbeciles is not very productive.

You perfectly know that resorting to invective during a debate means you are losing it. It has just happened, then. Sorry, it is the third of fourth time you lost it big. I understand you feel bad but take it on the chin like a male. :):)

Im talking about during hiring.

It doesn`t matter, whether I would give her the same wage already while hiring or in due course later on when I find out she is equally efficient as a male worker.

99.9% wouldnt as thats just bad business and throwing away money.

Don`t teach me about business. Can I run it my way? I decide about wages and they will be equal regardless of gender coz I like it like that. Why can`t you understand such simple things? I prefer to earn less from my business but certainly prefer to have satisfied workers.

Stop talking about those wages coz you have repeated the same mantra a few times. :):)

you obviously wouldn't then give a qualified female that you also plan to hire $30, she's already agreed to work for $25 an hour.

If they generated the same profit for the company, it is natural I would give her the same wage as to her male co-workers. You can`t believe it is possible? Not all males think your way. Time to understand it at last. You saw such guys at the demo and ridiculed them. Wrong!

Scared of competition?

There is no competition if I am a boss and the aggressive male is my subordinate. If he is aggressive towards me, he gets kicked out coz bosses should be respected. If he is aggressive towards his workmates, he gets kicked out coz I desire to keep a good atmosphere in the company. The only possibility to keep an aggressive guy would be if I ran a fight club.

I haven't heard of any actors

To end our little off-topic discussion about actors who you never heard of let me offer you a link and a quote.
theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/31/hollywood-male-abusers-boys-gay-men-kevin-spacey

"It's a pervasive problem in Hollywood," said Los Angeles attorney Toni Jaramilla, who has represented men in the entertainment industry in sexual harassment cases. She said that men can be coerced into sex or assaulted in professional contexts and are often afraid to speak out: "The common challenge is the fear of not being believed and the fear of having the situation turned around against them, to suggest that they are instigating it, or they are finding opportunities to sleep their way into a role."

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1049]

Guys, do you know the name of the virus sounds nicer in Polish?

Polish korona means 'crown." You know, it comes from Latin.

What do English speakers feel when they hear crown virus?

Language / Learning Polish but not focusing on the grammar, good idea? [37]

Polish with Duolingo (focus on words and sentences instead of grammar) would be better than the language school practice?

Nobody can say it in a straightforward way until they go through the whole course. To be able to compare, they also need to finish the language school.

But, as it is free, I wouldn`t waste time if I were you. Join it and pass consecutive levels. Then come back and tell us what you learnt.

you have a weasel explanation for everything

No, it is pure factual explanation. :)

I haven't heard of any actors sucking dick.

Perhaps you haven`t been interested in such matters. Quite natural. However, I am interested in everything what happens in the universe.

As I said - such cases are strictly confidential, that is why you can`t hear of them. Even natural-born gay actors don`t want to make their preferences public in fear of losing fans. There are actors who reveal them only when they are over 90!

I did hear from many men who were not ashamed to tell the world what some priest did to them

It is another matter, not connected with fans, popularity and benefits from fame but with life trauma. Don`t mix two different things.

try harder and remember that I never lost an argument

Sorry, you lost it a few times with me and withdrew from the discussion, helpless. Forgot? :):) Never mind. :):)

Life / How would you describe the Polish sense of humour? [66]

How would you describe the Polish sense of humour?

How? Probably similar to British and American one:
E.g., Polish police, taking an example of an American sheriff, issued a request to citizens - potential offenders- to limit their criminal activities.

komputerswiat.pl/aktualnosci/internet/apel-polskiej-policji-w-czasach-koronawirusa-post-robi-furore-w-sieci/njtc5fm

Colorado sheriff:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its contagious nature, the Logan County Sheriff's Office is asking all criminal activities/nefarious conduct to cease until further notice. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in halting crime and thank criminals in advance. We will update you when you can return to your normal criminal behavior.
