Off-Topic / To ALL IMMIGRANTS ("expats") to Poland on this forum... [124]

Who?? :))


Of course. Whites exploited blacks for free and in result made the USA a superpower. Simple.

PS. I forgot: whites also used to beat blacks.

Wow, I never thought of prawns for Supper! I am too traditional, I am afraid. But I will order them this year. :)

How about political factors? If I went abroad for a long time and had to contact Poles who, e.g, were fanatic PiS supporters, I would do anything to stay away from them. Do Indians also have such problems?

Study / School Uniforms in Poland - not required? [15]

I looked through my archives and found a few pics of students with ancient tableaux in the background. You can see single sex class from 1960s wearing sailor uniforms.

Hmm, I know about caste divisions in India but I thought emigrants drop that silliness when abroad. If they don`t, then you are right - the pool is limited if there are about 3000 different castes. But saying zero is a bit farfetched. Never lose hope! :):)

Now it occured to me it is a result of a warmer climate. Hungarians have always been able to grow pepper, mild and hot, while Poles haven`t. Northern countries are doomed to have bland cuisine due to their climate.

News / European funds - why Poland should refuse to receive them. [36]


Oh, I feel relieved now. Thanks, for a while I thought they snatched the real you and replaced you with a PiS-oriented zombie.


Funny, that`s what I am in reality. Putting stress on decent. :):)


Yes, that`s exactly what I am trying to do here. :):) But you don`t appreciate it at all! I can`t never give you no satisfaction.

PS. Did you notice I used a lot of negations? One is for you in case you missed it. hahaha

News / European funds - why Poland should refuse to receive them. [36]


yes, national-socialist, like in the past. :):)


Provided they are offered unconditionally without any requirements. But now the EU is going to present their demands to PiS - you will get funds if you give up undemocratic solutions. PiS don`t know what they should do and various options are being discussed. One of them might be rejecting the funds altogether.

That is why I thought you are working for PiS, trying to prepare people for future decisions. :):)


If you say you noticed it, I must believe you. But.... Did you also notice that the situation has changed drastically in recent years? If you did, then I don`t need to explain anything else. If you didn`t, I don`t need to explain anything, either. hahaha

News / European funds - why Poland should refuse to receive them. [36]


Torq, are you working on behalf of PiS government? This year the EU is going to create a new budget and it is expected Poland will get much less than in previous years not only due to Brexit but also due to PiS clash with the EU over undemocratic acts. Are you trying to prepare us for this situation? I can imagine PiS propagandists claiming the same what you just said above. :):)

Study / School Uniforms in Poland - not required? [15]

Fartuszki were kind of a uniform designed for elementary school.


In my high school we had to wear sailor uniforms. Today when I look at the tableaux in the corridor in my workplace, I can also see sailor uniforms were worn in 1960s/70s. I will take a photo after winter holidays.


Just like me. I wasn`t a good girl, quite the opposite. I often broke the code dress rules and wore colourful short-sleeved shirts coz I hated that uniform. I remember only lectures by the most fanatic teachers and that`s all.


And that is why the Irish decided to give up on their traditional adherence to the Church. :):)

One guy in a listening exercise in one of my textbooks mentions a poll which revealed Brits don`t like their own cuisine and prefer to choose foreign ones.

That sounds like 19th century Marxist dogma. :) Torq, why are you talking like a communist? I never suspected you of such opinions. :):)


I think Milo meant that national governments of single countries will lose their importance and sovereignty and the main federal government will take over. That is what the British disliked most in the EU.

Aargh, quite possible.:):) As for walking and exploring Rabka, we never did it in the cemetery. There was no need coz I don`t remember any special monuments there.

No, darling. You must explain in detail what you mean. It seems you just babble at random about things you have no idea about. It is your typical primitive style of discussion. It is probably good for your wife or kids, but we are more demanding in the forum. :))

Life / A good Geriatric Doctor in Krakow [5]


Simple logic suggests that your mother has been in contact with a specialist/s/ for a long time. If her cabinet looks like Pharmacy, where did she get all that medication from? Serious medicaments are prescribed by doctors. Do you suppose they are incompetent and don`t know the effect of the prescribed medicines?

News / European funds - why Poland should refuse to receive them. [36]


Hmm, it sounds really exaggerated, I have never heard or read such interpretation of EU funds.


Yes, 7 billion a year is a nice little gratification.


That is a very heroic honourable decision. :) But it won`t be necessary - nobody is really calling Poland out on accepting what we duly receive coz such are EU regulations about aiding new members in adopting EU standards.


It is going to take a long time for Poland to contribute more than she receives. I just checked Spain, in the EU since 1986. In 2017 Spain received 9 billion but contributed 8.

31 years after their access they are still in the black.

Language / Slow Talk in Polish TV [12]


hahaha I thought the same about Americans when in NYC. I came there with my school and uni English based on historic(al) texts by great British authors and suddenly had to listen to and understand all that horrible slang used by New Yorkers. I abhorred it, so much that it became one of the reasons I left as quickly as possible and returned to Poland. :)

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]


Yes, now it is better when you say - most Poles. I can partly agree with you - urban Poles are open to new tastes, hence there are so many foreign restaurants in big cities while the countryside prefers to remain traditional.

Partly because even the country guys like to order pizza and kebab when they visit a city. How about burgers at McDonald`s? These foods are all foreign cuisines` representatives. So, we can`t really say most Poles are not interested. :):)

Language / Slow Talk in Polish TV [12]

Oh, yes, now it dawned on me, there may be sth to it. You mentioned you watch them on national TV. You should know it is controlled and run by PiS and their current party line is to show only PiS experts and politicians. Most of them are halfwits, indeed and they may find it difficult to discuss things in a clear logical way. Decent intelligent people don`t appear on state TV.

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]

It was correct when you mentioned a large consumption of potatoes in Poland. Yes, Poles eat twice as much of them as in other countries in Europe.

However, potatoes have nothing to do with your second assertion which I dubbed wrong for obvious reasons - namely, the alleged lack of interest in foreign cuisines. Somebody can eat a lot of potatoes and still be interested in other cuisines, one doesn`t clash with the other. :):)

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [180]


It is clear you didn`t read recent statistics on potato production and consumption in Poland - we produce 5 times less potatoes than in communist times. The consumption - 220kg per person in 1960s. Today - 90kg.

Simply speaking, give Poles more time, Milo. Patience, please. Hurry is only neccessary when you are trying to catch your fleas.


Of course, it is a mistaken view if you talk about all Poles. Remember, there are Poles and Poles. :):)
