News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

Immigrants from non-European countries.

Really, tell us how that works.
The United States imposed new travel restrictions on citizens of Hungary today over concerns that the identities of nearly 1 million foreigners granted Hungarian passports over nine years weren't sufficiently verified, according to the U.S. Embassy and a government official.

Poland doesn't want them, U.S. doesn't want them, Russia doesn't want them, China doesn't want them.......it's time to depopulate these economic opportunists immigrants and terrorists wanting to feed out of our public troughs for free.

I suggest feeding them foods that sterilize them.

in the US,just go buy a new one.

Of course as the arches are broken down so they have no support and after six months they usually stink like cheap vodka.

Love / I am going to poland to meet my boyfriend's family and friends and need some advice [8]

but again the OP is a woman.

Yes, 25 years old and

I am very beautiful and exotic and that many people will be impressed when see me in Poland

Has anyone heard from the Russian ballet dancer lately ?

But most Poles aren`t so exuberant meeting strangers.

Better to put your innocent little shy girl look on and be humble to make points rather than telling them how beautiful and exotic you are.

Love / I am going to poland to meet my boyfriend's family and friends and need some advice [8]

I don't know more than 3 words in Polish and can't communicate if they don't speak English.

Latinos speak Spanish where I come from. (J.R. smells troll)
Spend $250 and get a voice language translator.
They fit in your pocket and when people speak to you in a foreign language it automatically translates it to English and when you respond to them it automatically translates it to their language.

You can even get an app on your cell phone to do this.

would be disrespectful if I suggest to go dancing with his friends?

Absolutely not, he would be proud to share his new trophy with his friends. (J.R. smells troll)

(but I don't know how to make any Polish dish) and culture.

Simple, buy a bag of sauerkraut and a ring of pre-cooked Polish sausage and put them in a pot and boil it for ten minutes.

Get creative and add some jalapeno's and refried beans and wrap that mixture in a burrito skin and call it a Polish burrito.
You'll be a sure hit with his family and friends especially if you are about six months along with a baby bump.
How and where did you meet if I may ask ?

Off-Topic / Stock Market and Trading Talk [1011]

Still time to get in.

TESLA Tid Bit !
Tesla as a company and a stock has had its fits and starts, for the most part, it's been a racecar.
A $10,000 investment in the EV maker's shares placed in late July of 2015 would have, after two stock splits, grown to a monster pile of almost $2.25 million eight years later.

How's that for share price acceleration ?

when working out then we wear smeakers.

Creps, Cargo, Creps !

I like my Creps the best year around.

They have about a nine-month life expectancy before they break down.

Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse?

A blessing just like it was for an African to become a slave.

UK, Ireland / Should I worry going to Ireland as a Pole? [37]

Ireland as a whole is very safe, much safer than the USA. Dublin has unique problems resulting from a huge underclass of teenage scumbags

That goes for the U.S.A. too Atch.
If you go to any Democrat run city in the U.S.at night by yourself, you are asking for trouble from the Black underclasss scumbags.

Their own upstanding people won't even go out at night.

and a very weak response to them by the courts.

Same here Atch, there is so many murders (33 in Chicago last week end) that the courts don't have time to prosecute assaults and when they do the punks get a slap on the hand.

And like parts of Ireland, where I live, I would feel safe walking down the streets in my hometown all night long by myself.
Thank you for your enlightening response, Atch.

UK, Ireland / Should I worry going to Ireland as a Pole? [37]

Have you been to Ireland yet?

NO !
It has become very dangerous place to go with foreigners being attacked.
A language teacher in Dublin has described the sorts of attacks experienced by some of her students in Dublin.
It comes after the US Embassy issued a security alert to tourists visiting Ireland following a number of media reports of attacks in Dublin.

Off-Topic / Let's talk about shoes [344]

I like my Creps the best year around.
Wear them out in the snow quite often.
They are very comfortable and they give your feet tremendous support.
The only problem with them is they don't last for more than six months or a year.
Most are made in China or Vietnam.

Law / Statistics of crime rates in Poland [44]

Was it the last place on this list?

No, no it was not, not by far.

What does it have to do with crime rates?

There is a high quality of life where there is little crime and vice versa

Thank you Alien, I couldn't have explained it better to her myself.

Law / Statistics of crime rates in Poland [44]

Cities ranked for the best quality of life put Wroclaw Poland at 100th in the world.
World ranking: 100
Another gem is Western Poland's Wroclaw.
Formerly called Breslau until 1945.
Quote:
Very near the capital, a side trip to Wroclaw means visiting a beautiful city too often overlooked and teeming with history, cafes and pretty little boutique shops.

Townspeople have come together in Market Square for generations.
This Gothic city center is covered in cobblestones and features a gorgeous town hall that has been converted into an art museum.

Another stat that surprised me, did you know that Poland hits the list at number #5 of the most sought-after countries in Europe to visit.

Poland is the third safest country in the EU, according to Eurostat, the EU's statistical office

One more reason I love Poland so much even though I have only been there three times. :;-)

Italy

I was surprised to see Germany so high on the list of low life scum.

Travel / Starting 2024 Visa's will be required to visit Poland from the U.S.A. [21]

This is not entirely true.

Of course it's not as I was being sarcastic for the sake of argument with Paulina.
She does like to knit pick at me so I entertain her with sarcasm.

Getting rid of American citizenship is horrendously expensive,

It would be easier and cheaper just to get citizenship in the E.U. and have dual citizenship.
Portugal has become a hot spot for people looking to quit their jobs and move abroad.
In order to get a Portugal passport, you need to participate in the Golden Visa program, which has several ways to qualify, including making a donation to Portuguese art and culture, investing in a business, starting a business or by buying real estate.

Doing that, one could enter Poland or the E.U.without an ETIAS.
Without getting snarky....Am I wrong Feniks ? lol

Maybe that's why you're worrying.

Why do you project such non sense as you are the one having the meltdown.
I worry about nothing because like you projected again that I have no intentions of coming to the E.U.

It is NOT, as you inaccurately put in your thread title, a visa.

Thank you for correcting me as I don't know what i would do without you. ((the Reb rolls his eyes sarcastically while laughing)
Both are a form of requirements for foreign travel.for over a billion travelers as in Either Ithar.

You're protesting now that Europe is doing the exact same thing your own country does.

That is because Americans always come back home to the Great United States of America while you Polish come to the Great United States of America and never go back home.

We had to make such vetting so we could find you and send you back home to Poland. :-)
So in essence it is just a money maker for the E.U.
And you seemed to skipped over my question of how many American tourists come to the E.U. vs. how may Europeans come to the U.S. each year.

Travel / What do people think about German people in Poland? [25]

They need to start drinking more water from the water pipes and quit drinking sparkling water from plastic bottles.
They don't drink enough water.
Why they call the water from the pipes 'sewer water' is baffling as it is clean, tastes good and the price is right.

Travel / Starting 2024 Visa's will be required to visit Poland from the U.S.A. [21]

If I came to the US it would cost me $21 for an ESTA,

Stop your moaning as you have spilled more than that on a good night out.
Besides, you have never been to Northern Michigan and it's doubtful you ever will.
Now before you got nasty and personal the topic was about another regulation to vet law abiding citizens to collect their personal information.
So please stay on topic and keep your snide remarks to yourself.
And like I stated, the camel is just getting his nose in the tent, in three years they will add six more personal question and in three more years six more personal questions until eventually only the bootlickers will stoop to them.

it will require all visitors who currently travel to Europe visa-free, such as citizens from the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand,

How about the dark countries ? Will it apply to them too or only those White countries ?

so the US is making money out of tourists too.

You are the Google queen here so tell us how many people from the U.S. travelled to the E.U. in 2022 and how many Europeans travelled to the U.S. in 2022.

Then we will do the math.
Europe is swarming with American tourists this summer.
I don't see that many Europeans here in the U.S. this summer.

Travel / Starting 2024 Visa's will be required to visit Poland from the U.S.A. [21]

Another foot in the door to collect a $ tax $ that always starts out low ($8 U.S.) and will increase every year once implemented.
This will include all countries in the E.U. for upstanding American citizens to enter, not just to enter Poland.
The new regulations are called the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS).
When the system launches in early 2024, it will require all visitors who currently travel to Europe visa-free, such as citizens from the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, will need to apply for travel authorization and receive approval prior to their departure.

How many extra millions $$$$ will this put in Europe's back pocket from the U.S. alone and for what ?
The bio metric information being collected is already on our passports.
Compare that to America's open borders where anyone can come in for free without a visa or passport.

Law / How to pay Polish fines when you are not in Poland [10]

EU is not US.

It's not ? Goully !
And here the whole time I thought both Poland and Germany belonged to the E.U.
Now the way I would do it is just call the cop shop and ask them how to take care of it.

Law / How to pay Polish fines when you are not in Poland [10]

Now that is just genius, REALLY ! or did you just want to get into the conversation too ?
If you don't pay you could possibly be denied getting your German driver's license renewed too until your issue gets resolved.
The whole time the price of the ticket increases do to interest being tacked on every month.
They hope you will just forget about it so they can have even more control over you while collecting even more money from you.
My advice is to be responsible, stay on it and take care of it a.s.a.p.
