News / Grzegorz Braun's firing squad? [39]

Meaning that in Poland treason is not punishable but should be and some people do deserve to be punish for their deeds..

Besides traitors he mentioned repopters.What argument could justify that?

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

pgtx,what is the difference?

The 72 hours pill doesn't allow the egg to "stic" in uterus.The second one makes women's body to get rid of already nested egg.

There're some herbs that women can use to do the same thing with available products.

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]

If in formal situations you say do widzenia.
If you're talking with friends you say na razie.
This poster's friends told him he speaks too formally.And I gave him words that can make his language more casual.

Wow, you got that one wrong.

No,I didn't.
The casual form of "do widzenia" is "na razie" as well as "cześć".

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

no, I learn every day how Polish people really are. Here is no different. You don't like somebody questioning the language, unless they are polish so you bring on the insults. That is fine, speaks volumes.

How did I insult you?You're the one who uses expressions like "primitive" or "how they really are"

The thing is English is conveniently taken on when it suits Poland. Listen to any young person today and you will hear loads of English.

Yes,we borrow some words but that doesn't mean we should change the words that have been used for a long time

Language evolves as cultures decide if the label that has been placed on them is offensive or not.

Agreed but who is to decide?You?

I don't give a feck about the words you say.

This shows great openess.

I teach my children to be respectable to other cultures whether Polish people deem it to be necessary or not.

I do feel respect for other cultures I just don't like the way you think the respect should be shown

pip: Native Americans are Indyjski
you need to learn better Polish. Pronto. Native Americans in Polish are called Indianie.--exactly!! and it is wrong!!

It's interesting how you skipped the part in which I told you that Indyjski is absolutely incorrect due to Polish grammar.

One more time you skipped important information.
Let's get one thing clear-you think our language is primitive and so be it.Just give us the right to decide what's right for us.We like our language and want it to be the way it is.

Indians are from India--should be Indyjski

That wouldn't be racist at all :D Indyjski refers only to THINGS.Yeah,that would be great.

Native Americans are Indyjski- should be something else of which I am not sure- perhaps rodowity, rodzimy - something to this effect

Here goes oversensitvity-rodowity means native and why should we necessarily use that.After all I don't ask ppl to call me Native Caucasian or Native European.

Aborygeni- this is correct for Australia but can also be used to describe the first nations people of north america.

Yes you can but you would add Kanadyjscy,Amerykańscy.
As to colours-I'm not an expert in that but pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_kolor%C3%B3w

As for colours. There are millions of colours and the Polish language doesn't have the capabilities of describing them.

Oh,excuse me.I fought that this was easy.
Listen,of course there are different skin tones but with the colour of the skin there are some basic rules.Yes it connected with race and with some biological differences but either way human race recognises few skin colours.

Black person,Afro-American,Murzyn-person with high melanin level
White,Coucasian-person with low melanin level
Asians -moderate melanin level.
There is nothing more to add.Maybe you should tell us how you express this differences?Or maybe you're pretending these diferences don't exist?

Hindusi-ppl from India
Indianie-native Americans
Aborygeni-Aborigens(native ppl of different continents mosly used in term of native Australians

Do you know real phonetic simbols?From what you typed I only can see:
tʌtʃɪ ʃiːbnʌ hɒledʌ
And it sounds more like Czech than Polish.

News / Does Polish hotel have right to turn down Americans and Israelis? [79]

This hotel however would charge a Czech many times more than a Pole. Here's the relevant EU statement:

Many countries have double prices.I don't know anything about hotels but i witnessed double prices for exhibitions and so on in other countries.I'm against it but that's how it is.As to the case of refusing the Americans and Israelis...I think the hotel owner have the right to choose his clients although I think he's a scumbag for making assumption about whole nationalities.

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [335]

I don't care if Poland is first or last in some researches.It's my homeland and for me it's the greatest country in the world.If that makes me ignorant then thats fine with me.However,I never said that other countries aren't as good as Poland and I never insulted other nationalities like the author of this thread did.

Hipis:
I wonder how many billions that takes out of the UK economy. Send them back, that's what I say. How dare they spend their money outside the UK?

Yeah,I definately think you should be the person to tell British what they should do with their money.(I still hope your post was ironic but I had to respond)

P.S. I don't know how you can measure someone's beauty so any researches on that are in my opinion worthless.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

If someone barges into your house in the middle of the night, you can't call the cops expecting them to be there immediately. Guns however can most certainly give you a chance to protect yourself, your family, and your belongings while the cops would arrive long after the criminals were done to do what they came for.

But I would be very careful in using gun.In Poland many times courts stated that the self-defense was too strong e.g. when one person was attacked and killed the other person during the fight.Maybe not when someone entered the house but in street fight it happened for sure.
