Thanks Arien, Paktofonia seem pretty cool and will go lookin for their records next time I'm in the city centre

not really diggin Funky Polak though it's a bit too American sounding for me, maybe his lyrics are good but my polski isn't good enough yet to catch everything he's saying, I'm more into the beats and music and he's not very original with his music at least

Love / Ten things to remember when you have a Polish girlfriend [79]

Polish girls are very touchy touchy and it drives me mental,
i hate holding hands and cuddling in public, although i guess i know Polish guys that are very touchy with their girls too so it works both way, i hate it though.

That opening doors thing is stupid too, like, you've got a pair of hands you open the door.
Polsih girls dont like football, wtf is up with that? ok a lot of girls dont like football but you'll find a few that will.

Polish girls have, mostly a crap taste in music. So it's mostly the music on radio or in nightclubs, sh*t!

Oh and stingy, but Poles are up their with Scots when it comes to spending money.

On the plus side they like to party and have the banter and they are extremely horny and the most beautiful in the world

naw, i'm just not into public displays of affection, it's reminds me of teenagers.

Horny is for the bedroom.

Anyway, i dont see the prob, i'm a huge fan of Polish chicks, they're the best in the world, my criticism were pretty trivial and the over-reaction was nothing but typical

UK, Ireland / Moving from Ireland to Poland [39]

Alright

I moved to Kato last Sept and at first it was a bit of a shock, even though i've been here before, you gotta be prepared that its....well, its a bit crap.

But at least its not Warsaw man :P

You;ll need a ton of Polish to get that job man and there may be some law about hiring a person that's just moved to a country, like at home you need to live in Ireland for, 3, or 5 ( I dont remember)years before you can apply to become a cop.

You'll need to find out if there's something similiar, And if they do hire foreigners, there's prob a proficiency exam.

One more thing about Kato, do not move here in the winter man. Like, I much prefer snow holidays to hot summer ones but it's a royal pain in the hoop to have to go to the sklep for some feckin mleko...you'll soon stop putting milk in your tae as well.

Re: Wages, sorry, but I've no idea what you could expect if you work as a paramedic,
If you get a decent job you'll get a decent wage that's what I've seen in Poland.

There's a school for medicine in Ligota, maybe they'll have something coz your knowledge of all the medicial language would probably be good, if not at least they'll know something about the paramedics.

Sorry, looks like I've written a feckin essay...oh and the pubs......man, I really really miss Irish pubs, the banter here ain't he same. The pubs are never full, everyone sites down....it's crazy :P

Anyway best of luck.

UK, Ireland / Moving from Ireland to Poland [39]

Jaysus, I forgot to mention the beaurocracy
nightmare, and i mean a proper hell raising nasty nightmare.

be ready to have loads of rows with the missus :P
I know I did, one day we went to 5 different offices to only go back to the first one the next week and find out they coulda done everything there in the first place.

While Polish people are extremely helpful and very patient with foreigners, the auld ones that work in govt. offices are proper toe-rags.

And dont come without about 6 months travel insurance, everyone has ZUS in Poland, it's basically like the VHI, even the govt pay for the VHI of the unemployed, however man, it took me about months to get my medical ID, even though I had been payin ZUS since I got here so it's safer to get some travel insurance, before you leave.

Also, Polish health system is really awesome compared to the shambles at home.

delphiandomine, mentioned religion and depending on your circle of friends, it can play a role, like my neighbour is always askin when me and the missus are gonna get hitched, AFAIC she can shag right off, coz it's none of her business, but some of the older crowd are a bit strict.

I'm lucky, none of my Polish friends even attend mass so I dont have to put up with any of that nonsense.

Oh I mentioned winter, yea dont move in winter, it'll break your heart, like last year, it got to like minus 22 and takin the hound out for a stroll in that aint fun on any level

And I dont wanna be all negative, I mean, I have a far better standard of life now in Poland, I've a far better job, I've made friends and the food and beer is fantastic, starting to finally like vodka too, miss Powers whiskey though. Anyway, now that the weather is getting good Kato has it's won certain charm.

House prices in Kato, I've looked before and it'd be in and around the 1million zl mark so thats around 250,000 euro, houses here are pretty big though, not like at home where 250000 will only get you a semi detatched outer shell of bricks and inner walls of plywood.

I know one things for sure, I wont be goin back to Ireland to work ever, but I dunno, maybe I got lucky and it's different for others

Language / Do Poles prefer US American or UK English language? [156]

As a linguist it really annoys me when people make this mistake.

A cunning linguist then yea?

Why care about something so trivial?
It's British English to highlight the difference between the other versions, which aren't really all that different anyway, it's not like a yank can't understand an ozzie or a paddy or a jock.

UK, Ireland / Polish and East European prostitutes in the UK [240]

True but why is it that everywhere you look in western Europe majority of the prostitutes are from Eastern Europe, even after they have joined the EU and have similar work rights as westerners?

Coz they're better lookin & better in bed than the locals

UK, Ireland / Polish and East European prostitutes in the UK [240]

Yawn..This thread isn't about locals, nor is about desperate vankers like you - who couldnt even pull a horney biffer who'd had 20 pints of stella - even biffers have standards you know!

if it's so boring then why post at all
And a biffer, you know that stands for a best friend forever, wtf you talkin about?
Stella, I'm not an an english lager-lout

All I said was the Polish girls are really beautiful and UK users of brazzers will pay more for a non-local girl

and vanker? sticks and stones boy!

Anyway it wont be long before prostitution is legalised in most european countries, once poiticians realise they can make money from taxing it then it'll be done, that way they're also be less risk of catching disease coz the women will have regular tests etc

Lets not resort to name calling Amathyst, that's boring

Life / Cannabis / Weed in Poland... How much does marijuana cost per gram and how easy is to get it? [355]

Thread attached on merging:
Marijuana legalisation

I remember reading not so long ago that the govt were to vote on decriminalising the possession of marijuana, like in Czech I guess.

Is this vote still going to go before the govt? & how do people feel about this in general.
From what I've seen since I moved here a lot of people smoke the herb.

Personally, I think it would be a good thing to decriminalise, I think it'd be even better to fully legalise, then the govt could tax and control it and use it as another revenue stream.

Anyway, will it happen? Should it happen?

I agree

a complete waste of lives, money & man power

Theres a great documentary you can watch here on google videos. It gives the full facts on marijuana, it's effects, why it was banned in the first places and loads of other information.

I've always smoked but was never really into the whole leagalise it movement until I watched this documentary which really laid down some facts that people and governments should be made aware of.

So what's the deal then, are they gonna vote on it?

howd.ie/b0afce0
Says here they have 5 MPs that signed it but it was 2 yrs ago.
I know I saw something more recent but cant remember the site

Will they do a Czech Rep on it?
I know 2 coppers here and they've said it'd be great & cut down on some of their work and let them concentrate on proper cop work....... catching people jaywalking and escorting football hooligans! ah but seriously they said that they'd be really happy if it did go through the govt.

The law and the penalties are too harsh so hopefully it'll change.

AJ, I'd vote for you man :-)
Some really well well made and articulate points,
good on ya.

If drugs are legalized will drug usage increase or decrease?

It may peak after the first year or so of legalisation but then it after the initial period of curiosity it would level out.
THe thing to remember is that were drugs legalised then it would bring far less health problems to users as

wrote in his post

No what kind of sane person would want to do this if your going to legalize it why don't the government just give it to the kids for free so they don't have to pay for it.

naw, i think you're just trying to stir some sh*t with a comment like that

It's totally irresponsibile to give drugs, actually any drug, be it weed, tobacco, magic mushrooms or alcohol to a person who's body has not reached full development. Society deems that age to be 18, 21 in some countries, and indeed 16 in some other countries.

Plus it's the government, if they can't even make public transport free they're hardly going to give a substance away for free when they can earn extra revenue by taxing it.

I put a link to a documentary in an earlier post, I'd urge people to watch it. Most of the commentators at the end of the movie agree that legalisation will happen, it's really just a matter of time. I hope it comes sooner rather than later, because I don't want to be 50 years old and having to buy my weed off some ******* criminal and run the risk of being arrested for smoking a substance which has absolutely no proof whatsoever of being harmful.

A point they make in the movie is that if marijuana were harmful we would certainly have seen the effects on society by now and we haven't

It's only harmful when smoked/mixed with tobacco.
Seriously check the documentary I linked above. It uses many official research projects in it's arguments.
BUt yea cannabutter is prety great, we used to mix it with yops, it's a drinkable yogurt. good times, but it was hash so it would have actually been harmful

Which drugs are we talking about? Will curiosity be enough to break the habit? Aren't we talking about the possibility peer pressure, physical and mental addiction?

Marijuana has absolutely no addictive effects. The post title is marijuana so that's what I'm talking about.

Are you saying that possible lung damage, slowing of motor skills, the impact on pregnant women would lead to far less health related problems?

Again, if you take the time to watch the documentary you'll see that marijuana has no harmful effects on people, so long as it's smoked in it's pure form, so no tobacco and no hash/resin, just the plant itself.

The slowing of motor skills, well, yea thats obvious, I mean you wouldn't drive after drinkin so they same would apply for smoking.
Re: pregnant women then they shouldn't smoke while pregnant, just like the shouldn't drink during the nine months
Their bodies are able for it but the developing child's body isn't, same as alcohol & tobacco

Life / Cannabis / Weed in Poland... How much does marijuana cost per gram and how easy is to get it? [355]

It depends on how the hash was made, and if something was mixed into it. Hash itself, whether traditional or bubble hash, isn't harmful at all.

Well you'd have to sift all the seeds out of it and remove all the stalks. The way I say it made was that everything was just lobbed into a pot and "cooked".

The thing is with hash you never really know what you're getting and what has been added to it, I've seen reports that has toxoligy reports saying that they sometimes add diesel, rat poison, grounded up fine glass and even heroin to the mix.

When i read that I swore I'd never smoke hash again.

But i do understand that homemade hash made of just the buds and leaves would be harmless, so long as smoked thru a pipe or bong

Negative side effects commonly reported by GHB users:

GHB? Isn't that used in date-rape? Why would anybody take that?

Should only have ladies to begin with

yea true, forgot about that, yea well as I said if nothing's been added to it then it'd be exactly the same as smoking the bud/leaf

I was being sarcastic if you didn't notice :)

I didn't and i apologise, my bad. Can we get that sarcasm sign installed here somwhere with the polish letters :-)

[quote=zetigrek]ts a propaganda

Some % of ppl who uses marihuana on regular basis will suffer of schizofrenia induced by its usage. Although its rather small % its enough to not legilize it (and other stuff like magic mashrooms, lsd, etc). Some ppl say that marihuana is less harmful than alcohol. So what? If it was ever possible alcohol would be delegalized. What for do you think are those limitations of alcohol distribution in lots of countries? A freedom given once is a freedom that no one can abolish.[/quote]

The only people to suffer any form of schizophrenia are those that already have it in their genes. Marijuana does not bring on schizophrenia and if you ever find research that proves me wrong then I'll eat my hat.

A freedom once give can of course be taken back just recently some legal drugs available in

dopalacze

in Ireland
were made illegal, so a freedom can be abolished quite quickly actually.

ts a propaganda

Watch the movie dude, you'll see it isn't propaganda. There are plenty of times in it where official government research documents are used to highlight that marijuana is

1. harmless, once smoked in it's natural form
2. Not addictive
3. Not a gateway drug

Plus it's the most peaceful drug ever, you'll never hear of a stoner getting arrested for fighting or hitting somebody or causing damage to property, unlike with alcohol

Exactly. And the problem is no one really knows what kind genes one have...

Well you could look into your family history and find out if any of your ancestors was a sufferer of the mental illness

Read the thing I've just written above. If something get too deep in culture in cant be abolished just that.

I dont agree with you. What about things like arranged marriages, they were a part of life for hundreds of years and now it just doesn't happen. well, it still happens with gypseys and in some asian countries

So what? There are lots of specifics in nature which can harm you. The distinction between natural and not natural (chemical?) is often used as a comercial stunt and in the chemical point of view has nothing to do with substance toxicity...

Is this thing on....hello...hello...can you hear me.
Smoking weed so long as it's not mixed with tobacco is completely harmless and non-addictive. Hash can be harmful but check the posts above for the info on that.

Some say it is, some say its not.

Scientific research doesn't say that. And I'm with science not with what people simply say

make you lacking in motivation, memory problems or depressed if overused

Also not true, I'd like to know where you're getting your information, maybe you heard it on radio maria once, or seen it written in a newspaper so therefore it must be true.

If anything marijuana can help relieve the symptoms of depression and give motivation to people, especially writers/artists/musicians not to mention people suffering from painful illnesses when smoking some weed can really help curb some of their pain

Science News

bah Science News, can you give me a link to the article,
I searched for it but to no avail

are you sure its so simple? what if noone has suffered and I will get an illness?

Naw, maybe if you're like Syd Barrett and do a sh*t-load of acid, but for marijuana then it already needs to be in your genes

Try to ban alcohol and cigarets and you will see ppl on the streets demonstrating ;)

I wouldn't suggest that for a moment, cigarettes yea, i dont care about, but if they banned alcohol i'd move back home, naw you need alcohol, it's great. *in moderation of course*

isn't it a bit sad to be 50 and keep on with the weed? :p

not at all, but it's 20 years away so i'll let ya know when i turn 50

It's not freedom to use drugs!!!!

No, but the freedom to choose whether to use drugs is freedome, do you smoke cigarettes, drink booze or coffee, all drugs mi amigo.

Also why was the thread moved?
How much does marijuana cost is not what I started the thread about, I couldn't care less about the cost of weed, my OP was whether or not the Polish govt will be voting to legalise weed in the near future.

What;s the deal with Nergal, the singer from Behemoth.

Got an email yersterday form a friend back home asking was it true that he's got leukemia,
It's terrible news if it's true, it's note really my type of music, although some of their songs are really good, but he seems like a decent enough lad.
