Food / BREAD IN POLAND IS DETERIORATING [90]
good point but somebody has sold those companies to them, so they were greedy as well.
When it comes to quality of bread in Poland in varies and if the German bread is cheaper, Poles will buy is, since it is NOT a well off society yet.
And those greedmasters are going to use every trick in the book to trim costs and increase profits!!!

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]
no, he usually makes a lot of stuff up. If you are really interested then you need to find somebody who actually knows something about last names.
He knows as much as I do - nothing about names, unless he has some links but I have never seen any;).
edit: I found a link:
genealogy.about.com/library/surnames/n/bl_name-NOWICKI.htm
so it is good to check on your own

Life / Things that annoy you in Poland. [114]
no kidding.
warrior syndrome, full moon, bitterness, lack of whatever with whomever, low vibrations, lack of exercise, poor diet, too much alcohol, not enough alcohol, the reasons vary.
Attitude is important.
I call it practicing human instincts: who knows.
true,
it would be interesting to find out why, although I am not sure if all the Eastern block is like that.

yeah, the humour is a bit absent around here lately.

Life / Recycling and the barter system in Poland [5]
what do you mean?
when I was living in Poland I would put the stuff I wanted to get rid of by the garbage bin with a little note that " this blanket is still good". It was nicely packed and all that. I do it here as well, if the equipment is broken - I leave a note, so the happy bugger does not take it home and have his fuses blown out.
Just a tip if you want a few quid in Poland, apply for a telephone line:)
what do you mean?
Any more examples?

TIT- who are you trying to impress? If you are a mean bastard then the eduction will not help you;)
kindergarden: from age 3 to age 6 _ I hated the Polish milk soup on the sunny days.
primary school: I loved the basketball team, but hated my Polish teacher.
Secondary school: well, it was even more boring and I hardly made it through because my math skills were really not up to par, but I loved chemistry.
College: lost of fun
university: stuck up/ inflexible profs and really lousy TA - overall - great experience/my first paper was handwritten and I got some strange looks from my peers.
and on, and on and on and on......

where did I say anything about it being relative I must ask?
Of course, after all it is YOU commenting on my post addressed to somebody else. You just cannot help yourself, can you? I think we already had a discussion about things and I have moved on, you, on the other hand are still stuck in the whole you have been digging under yourself.
Truth is not 'relative' and therefore does not change depending on the forum.

Of course with liberals and feminists objective truth is indeed 'relative', and slippery.

Life / Womans day in Poland? [242]
yes, but their pensions are lower because of that.
at 55, but it results in financial disadvantage as far as I know.
I doubt it:)
In what sense ?
Women retire earlier in Poland than men.
yes, but their pensions are lower because of that.
s that true? Even though women on average live 5-10 years longer than men?
at 55, but it results in financial disadvantage as far as I know.
Women in Poland can have a year of maternity leave vs. up to 6 weeks in the US.
Valentines Day is for both male and females but in Poland they think it's for women.
I doubt it:)
Polish women are spoiled.
