News / Thousands of Polish women attend Czarny PiÄ…tek rally in Warsaw [780]

55,000 apparently. Good that so many turned out on a cold day to support women in Poland.

This wonderful tradition is cultivated each year.

Today, on the 8th March, Polish women again took to streets.

History / Where to buy old militaria in Poland? [4]

There is any flea market on Poznan or Bydgoszcz?

Each big city in Poland hosts a flea market. Just type the name of the city and "flea market."

hahaha No, we are not jealous, you can take her, whole or in parts, we don`t care, really.

It's funny how people I interact with continually try to downplay her Beauty...

Does it mean it happens on a mass scale?

Life / Americanization of Poland - good or bad? [49]

Guys who support keep smiling approach, think reasonably and logically for a while.

Keep smiling approach in the US produces millions of patients for psychiatrists and counsellors each year. You can never be yourself when among other people - regardless whether aliens, workmates, family. NEVER. You must`nt complain at work coz they will fire you. You mustn`t complain at home coz your wife will divorce you. You mustn`t complain to mates coz they will think you are a loser. Who TF can you complain to at last? The shrink. He or she will take everything from you for decent financial gratification.

ISn`t the Polish approach better? People meet in the street and start complaining immediately. Later they fell happy and don`t need to consult a counsellor. Only really mentally ill guys do.

Just try cutting and pasting it into your browser, please. I promise the view won't hurt your eyes, either. ;)

OK, I did it and unfortunately that was an eyesore coz she isn`t my type. Nothing special, she talks about her latest photo session for CKM magazine (I used to buy and read it i20 years ago coz it was fun) and promises more. Stay tuned. That`s all. Sorry, it is visible she isn`t the Einstein in skirt, but you probably don`t mind.

It depends on the workplace. For a cemetery/morgue position I would choose the other type.

a simple hand wave as we approach, full eye contact, and a "hi" turns a 30-second random commercial encounter into a moment that pleasant

Also with immigrants from behind the southern border?? :):)

USA, Canada / So happy to be Polish-American [49]

Why did you have to be nasty to hardrain?

Because he didn`t apologise for his ancestors` deeds! His progenitor, Janosik, the mountain robber, once robbed my great great great great great great great grandfather Baron von Armata. My family chronicles mention it as a horrible experience for Baron.

Today hardrain boasts of his Janosik DNA despite dubious past of his forefathers. It is unfair.

There is sth wrong with the address. E.g., why is there a dot between youtu and be? I think it is a fake site with a virus. These numbers not with me, Mr Brunner.

No matter what he says from now on, it's going to haunt him.

I hope so. Till his last day. :):)

demagogy pure

hahaha At last decent people have learnt how to fight PiS using their own methods.

BTW, when PiS cultivated demagogy in 2015 with slogans "Poland in ruin" and other, I didn`t notice your protests. Were there any? I could skip them coz I took my leave around that time. But if you find a single post in which you critisized PiS for demagogy, I will not call you a biased liar and manipulator again. :):)

It's all hate, have a nice day.

Yet, despite complains, you seem to be quite an active observer here. :):)

but then the vitriol like this made it not worth it at all.

Yes, one needs balls of steel to be a member here. :):)

Life / Will Poland ever be multicultural like Sweden, Germany or France? [283]

You cannot teach me much at all.

Yes, I can and I will coz you need a lot of education. You used to sing: Teachers leave me alone, I don`t need no education. and skipped classes and left school at 16. But those shortages are surfacing right now.

But especially in American companies, you'll find people are open, friendlier and more informal."

Because that`s what people are indoctrinated to act like. Keep smiling and optimistic approach are a must in the US. Sad gloomy guys are considered losers.

It turns out that I am mostly Polish -- 38%. Next is Slovakia at 20%

You must be the progeny of Janosik, the famous robber. Wow! Now you can make a great career in showbusiness. Don`t miss this chance.

Love / How to find Asian Girlfriend in Poland [56]

What kind of question is that?

It was a very appropriate question to find out about your intentions. E..g, you could be interested in discussing Asian culture, history, traditions, literature.

Because I am a straight guy and i am attracted to girls.

Oh, I see. So it is not literature but erotic contexts.

I can`t help you, then. If you were interested in language exchange or cultural discussions, I would advise you to register at interpals.net.

Life / Will Poland ever be multicultural like Sweden, Germany or France? [283]

Do you think that Poles will let the hordes

But it is already happening. PiS government is letting immigrants in by droves. So, as PiS is supported by over 40% here, it means many Poles don`t mind.

Read two articles about it:

natemat.pl/289587,nzz-polska-i-wegry-wpuszczaja-imigrantow-zarobkowych-ale-nie-uchodzcow
idzpodprad.pl/aktualnosci/rzad-pis-przyjal-najwiecej-imigrantow-w-unii-europejskiej-ulotka-do-pobrania/

But people do not move to a country just because it is wealthy.

Yes, they do. Should I really teach you such basic things? :)

Love / 17 year old English girl with a 25 year old Polish man? [9]

17 year old English girl with a 25 year old Polish man?

This is a time-honoured British tradition, described and praised by numerous poets:

Well, she was just 17, if you know what I mean / And the way she looked was way beyond compare ......
