Love / 'Seks po polsku' - the sex lives of Poles: [45]

The Sexuality of Poles

Today we will look into the bedroom of the Poles. And not just the bedroom. Our sexual fantasies are becoming bolder, more persuasively put them into being and we are more satisfied with our sex lives - a theory confirmed by further reports analyze survey sexologists. More, perhaps not much more, but you can learn by observing a rapidly growing market for shopping and entertainment with the word "sex" in its name.

Magda, visits the swingers club regularly. Gladly poses for photos in front of the camera yet doesn't wish to talk openly about her sexual desires. Does the growing interest in the clubs for swingers, or who like sex in a group, may indicate a sexual revolution?

Just 20 years ago, the standard technique was missionary, face to face. Currently it turns out that about 40 percent of people have oral sex. -Says sexualogist Andrzej Sękowski

Paul - operating one of these clubs in Warsaw - says that this place is a success, and that he approves of this revolutionary approach to sex which is taking place.

- The subject becomes fashionable and popular by the fact that people are talking about sex openly expressing themselves and not because it's strange and incomprehensible - he says.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

Yes, Polak, is very derogatory, to the great Polish people, worldwide. I hate when someone calls me a Polak, and I correct them, by saying, I am Polish, not a Polak.

Well in the States I've noticed that Hispanics generally don't know it's offensive they think it simply means Polish. I've explained it to a few and they were shocked, asking 'then what's the right way to call a Polish person'?

Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best?

Dr. Artur Bodnar from the Helsinki Human Rights Foundation

'We should be more open towards immigrants in our own interests, because we started out with workers and people who, in our aging society would pay taxes to support pensions and other social goals. It is for our benefit that Poland is a country where it is easy for immigrants to assimilate into our society, fit into our culture, learn the language, and not establish and live in minority ghettos. There are also many of such, for example, from the former Soviet Union, who are eager and willing to move to Poland and live here. This also applies to the Vietnamese and Chinese, who somehow are able to find their place in our fairly homogeneous social structure.'

Seriously?

Many Nigerians in your neck of the woods?

You'd be surprised how integrated America's cities neighborhoods have become, more or less since the year 2000, even the better ones. When I came here in 91' African immigrants were very few, now there are many Nigerians, Ghanians, Liberians etc.

Queuing and basic manners are a foreign concept to them.

On the whole compared to Africa-Americans they are better behaved. But then there are people for whom it doesn't matter how polite their neighbor is. White or Black many don't want interracial mixing. Here's Muhammad Ali explaining it on a British show..

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]

let's consider your buying power after all that work. in Poland, a good salary is around 3000zl/month net for most people

True. My friend who has a pretty good position in the company he works for and a doctorate makes 3400 PLN a month.

Well I knew many Poles who've been here in the States for years, were unhappy with the value of the dollar falling (prices rising) wages remaining the same and less work, took their savings sold their homes and went back to Poland and are happy there. The worst thing is a start, if people have money they can easily start and have a good life in Poland.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

Did you finish high school? Why don't you look at yourself first before pointing out Polish people, Americans can never take any sort of criticism of their country.. Because they are THE best in everything. Meanwhile European students know a whole lot more about the world and been to more places. (Only 21% of Americans hold a passport) Typical ignorance.

USA, Canada / Polish or American Education? [180]

Mind you the schooling system is much harder in America than say for example in Europe country such as London. LOL YOUR A FUCCIN IDIOT. You must be Polish. Maybe you need to go back to school.

HAHA other way around silly boy. The level is 3 to 4 grades behind Poland. Polish 8th grade grads know the same or more math, history and science than American high school grads. Only American universities are better and that's a fact (money)

History / The story about German- Polish reconciliation [194]

The story about German- Polish reconciliation

From the early 90s until the end of 2010 Germany has invested over 20 billion euros.

paiz.gov.pl/poland_in_figures/foreign_direct_investment

Germany has been also the main source of EU's structural funds flowing into Poland. Infrastructure being built, jobs created is enough for reconciliation.

USA, Canada / To move back to Poland from the USA or not to move back....that is the question [119]

Many people have moved back to Poland or went to other parts of Europe. I personalty know half a dozen people who went back and are happy there. The America we used to know the land of milk and honey is no more. Prices are high, wages the same as 10 years ago, good jobs are scarce. You can see the neighborhoods changing, getting dirtier, overrun by 'trash'.

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

Ain't true anymore, it seems

And it should be declining since there are no medical benefits to having it done, it's the opposite really. In European countries it's under 20%.

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

So you brought it up, citing it as your source for the 'fact' that American women don't like uncircumcised ones.

Yes and No. If she's never seen one before she might be kind of grossed out by it, but once she has sex an uncircumcised one it's more pleasurable. Heard the skin is an extra comfort.

Seems that US men don't like their local chicks anymore... :)

Hmm. Well there are many pretty American girls, far more than people in other parts of the world realize. The posters say the girls are snobby, most girls with good looks are. I think in general American women are easier to talk to and be with then for instance Polish, Polish women always gotta put their 'two cents in' and are more difficult.

That is not the topic of this thread. Don't make it to be closed for cleaning.
