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

LilBitCountry
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? [73]

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! [331]

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.

Life / Understanding Poland's Birthday Tradition [66]

There is such tradition but the level of "beating" depends on person who is the guest.If your friends are morons then it can be a little to much but if they are sensible ppl then it's just fun.What's more if this girl was really beaten so hard then why no-one reacted?Fun is fun but when someone is getting violent...

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

The young ones, under say 60, don't know what the Polish people had to put up with both the Russians, and the Germans. They need read the history of Poland, more so the last 75 years, than they will understan.

I understand but I don't think I should hate these nationalities because of that.Hating someone I've never met and know nothing about? It's simply ridiculous.

or Poles should hate Czechs. Learn history people!!!!!

Yeah,I'm sure they should be even grateful for our huge help before, during and after the WWII.

News / Raising Poland's legal drinking age to 21 [95]

I don't think it's a good idea. What's forbidden is more appealing. What's more if you raise legal drinking age you should also raise the age in other regulations.It's funny if you can vote and join the army but you can't drink.

Language / Polish sayings [237]

My old man(father) and uncles used to say this to me when i was a kid and beyond...hope my polish spelling is right-----" nie udawaj greka "......which obviously means don't act a greek,...........so my question is???are greeks gypsies,or does it imply something else ???or would they have said it to me because i was a smartarse(aussie slang)know-it-all !!!

Don't act like you don't know/understand what's going on.
It's usually used when a person is trying to pretend that she doesn't know anything.For example when the kid tells you that he doesn't know who ate all the sweets or when parents are yelling and the kid is all "but why are mad"

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

There's one thing I just don't understand-why they care?If they haven't seen Poland in years(some of them probably never),don't know anything about this country and don't want to know then why?What's making them some power-seeking?

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

They've the right to have their opinions I just don't want them to call Polish nation stupid because they chose differently and I don't want them to have the right to decide about my future (some of them claimed in 2000 that all of US Polonia should have the right to vote).

USA, Canada / Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture" [568]

Happened this year as well. The whole condescending "oh, you don't know what's good for you" is just so absolutely insulting towards Poland - as is the way that they claim to be Polish, they interfere in the Polish state, yet they have no sense of the consequences of their actions.

I really don't care if they claim to be Polish just get out of our way if you are not truly involved.As you said-they don't know the consequences and they don't have to live with them.But beside that American Polonia don't interest me.Of course there'll be idiots as well as in any other group of ppl.I don't know them so I can't judge.

I was really mad at American Polonia once in my life.It was after elections for a president in 2000 when in Polonia Tv I've heard interviews with ppl from US that claimed that ppl in Poland are stupid because they chose Kwaśniewski (US Polonia chose Krzaklewski).I've got really pissed off.How ppl that never been in Poland can tell me who I should choose?If you want to decide bring your ass here and live here.And I don't mean someone who works there but plan to come back here-I'm talking about ppl who live there and don't want to change it.

Genealogy / The last name is Krzywoszyja. Help? Am I Polish? [30]

Not every Polish last name ends with ski.Your last name really points to Polish roots.As for the rest I don't know.Maybe there's really some other nation in your heritage.
