most of your friends

Not like you, at least I have some friends.

.and Ziemowit is no great intellectual either!

What a snobbish thing to say, you don't even know the gentleman.
Ziemowit is not only an intellect but also very cultured and well travelled.
Compared to you he is a genius.
You may under estimate him because I think English is either his third or fourth language.
And yes, unlike you, he reads books constantly.

Where is Ziemowit ?
That guy reads more books than anyone I know.
This thread is right up his alley.

I am another one and that is because all the books here in the U.S.A. are written in English and I never learned how to read English in school.

I bet that I can make a better spitball than you can though.
Besides, we already know that you hate us.

I hate that you're buddy buddy with some local degenerates.

Have you smelled your book worm self lately ?

The most rare and unpopular book ever on the Polish Forums was, "Exploring Warsaw".

Hairy was a spasm alright.
When he called the F.B.I. on Cargo Pants I thought I would die laughing as the tears rolled down my face.
Cargo had him so wound up that I thought he was going to have the big one.

How would you know since you were not even a member when he last posted in 2012.
You didn't join until FOUR YEARS LATER in 2018 while I was posting under a different name in 2012.
I think you just like to make such posts like, I agree, Good Post, I concur, really, spot on and ect. just to get your post count up.

Do Ya think........ since it is so obvious. lol

Is this a serious question?

If it is, someone flunked basic math.

History / Recommended Poland's history books [257]

I think

You missed the point again.
Poland's Foreign Ministry said the two nations "have come to an agreement that it is good for young people to learn about all aspects of Jewish, Israeli and Polish history, not limited to the Holocaust.."

You should have read the whole article before you posted what you think.

History / Recommended Poland's history books [257]

Israel's national Holocaust memorial has criticized a new agreement renewing Israeli school trips to Poland, saying it recommends a number of "problematic sites" that distort history.

Law / Noisy children outside [40]

Second, I speak ZERO polish which makes this so hard.

Learn to say and ask them, "Idź pobawić się na własnym podwórku !"
Sounds like their parents can't stand their noise either so they send them over to your place so they don't have to listen to them.

Then go tell their parents the old Polish saying, "Dzieci powinny być widoczne, ale nie słyszane."
If that doesn't work call the police and tell them that you have some orphans hanging around your residence.

Life / What to do if the neighbors is too loud? [40]

@Feniks
Normally I don't respond to guest posters like you because they are mostly sock puppet trolls causing trouble.

He is claiming the very opposite. Check his post #3.

(His post #3) Most people live in flats instead of houses.
Yes, and in post #19 he is claiming just the opposite.
His post #19) Compared to living in houses like most normal people do!

Stop trying to trash main page threads by initiating arguments.

Maybe you should heed your own advice
The truth of the matter is NOT "MOST" of the Polish people but actually about a 50/50 equal split like I posted to straighten him out, not to argue.

SEE !

About half live in houses and the other half live in live in multi-family blocks of flats.

Are we o.k. now ?

Prove me wrong but I thought that most normal people in Poland do not live in houses as you claim.
About half live in houses and the other half live in live in multi-family blocks of flats.
But since you don't live in Poland nor have you been to Poland in the last 40 years or more, it is understandable why you would 'assume' most normal people live in detached houses.

Living in multiple family flats one must understand that you have to show respect for your neighbor's space.

people prefer to live in houses.

People prefer lots of things that they can not afford and owning a house is one of them.

Life / Energy - Poland [71]

Although the age of King Coal is dead/dying,

Except it is not.
Today with all the new Global Warming laws, demand for coal is at an all-time high.
Poland is still burning lots of coal.
The U.S. is the biggest loser by closing most of our coal energy plants and coal mines to go green.
Somebody isn't paying attention to the GO GREAN agenda while they prosper.
And it's not just Poland by far.

they certainly had a very full marital life.

Are you implying that you and your husband don't make loud shrieking noises when you do it ?

This time PiS blame another opposition party - PSL.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]

Russia will never become prosperous now.

Not in our or our children's life time.
Russia should concede with a white flag and cut their losses now.
Have you seen these headlines yet ?
Russia's President Vladimir Putin could be a 'dead man walking,' a former CIA counterintelligence chief told an interviewer.

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

Have you been to Ireland yet?

Joe biden is going to Ireland right after Easter.
I think he was supposed to go to Poland but got mixed up and now he is going to Ireland.
Don't be surprised if he falls down the stairs from Air Force One and yells, "Hello Warsaw !"

Life / Life in Poland - ECONOMY [59]

for veg and fruits we are paying somewhere near double from last year

Exactly my point, wages have not doubled so in essence wages buying power has gone down.
Difficult in Poland is putting it mildly, how do people in Poland make it with three or four children ?
The restaurant business is the last business I would want to own.
When you buy a restaurant you are married to it 24/7.

Life / Life in Poland - ECONOMY [59]

but wages are not dropping.

Here is what my penpal in Poznan is telling me, PolAm.
"The economy is turning around very weakly in Poland, wages are falling in real terms, and consumption is milking, you can't count on investments either, inflation is still very high and I don't see it to start falling anytime soon."
