Love / Am I The Only One Who Doesn't Find Polish Women Attractive? [93]

First of all I can't believe I would stoop to such ignorance to even respond to Don Juan. (ilias: Adokas)
It is a culture thing Don Juan, you are out of your elimate.
Greek men totally bearded and dressed in black and picking up women to take back to their hermitages sitting around at taverns while the women in black wait on them and make cooing sounds doesn't entice Polish women.

Polish women like to rock with a little femanism and don't really get into Geek boys.
This may be why they have that look on their face, the GO AWAY LOOK once you open your mouth.
Rejection is hell on egoism.
Once you take a long hard look in a mirror you will understand that "Denial" is not a river in Egypt.

This thread has answered question, "Am I The Only One Who Doesn't Find Polish Women Attractive?"......YES !

And looking twenty years down the road I would guess it will more than pay for itself.
Plus the more Poland creates it's independence from uncle Pootie the more leverage Poland will have.

Thanks for the article Pam ; )

Food / Polish polskie pierogi recipe (prepared at home) [72]

I found this very old recipe today that my Polish grandma used back in 1922. (Straight from the old country)
I have upgraded this recipe since, however I wanted to share this 90 year old one with you.
Very basic.

Pierogi:
4-5 potatoes - cook & mash - cool, mix in 2 eggs & 2 to 2 1/2 cups flour & 1/2 teas. salt
Shape into 2 or 3 balls, roll out on floured (1 ball at a time) cut into squares.
Drop into pot of boiling water, be sure water keeps boiling.
Water will become murky - don't panic.
Cook until they come to the top - couple of minutes.
Remove from water (dip out into colander) and rinse off with cool water
carefully so they don't fall apart.
Brown in frying pan in butter & cracker or bread crumbs.

She came to America when she was eight years old and didn't know one word of English.
By the time she was sixteen she could speak, read, and write perfect English as well as being
a master in arithmatic.
I remember her little smile with her devil blue eyes telling me to shut up and eat.

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]

People who never attended college would never know that a teaching degree is the easiest degree there is to obtain, just one step above a liberal arts degree which is virtually useless. (Now I are one)

The courses required are all basic classes for a teaching degree. ie: basic reading, basic writing, basic arithmatic, ect.
There are no "advanced classes" like advanced algebra, advanced physical sciences, advanced chemistry, advanced psychology classes required for a teaching degree.
School teachers then get that little bit of authority over children and suddenly become geniuses lording over them.
This goes to their head and they eventully become odious to anyone besides themselves or other teachers.
ie: Know it all limp wristed obnoxious liberals that stick within their click because of their pretentious lives.
Maybe you have noticed this on this forum.
People that can do it do it and people who can't do it teach it.

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]

Yup, as usual, you three circle your wagons.
I am laughing so hard as you guys to the bait hook line and sinker.
You proved my point to a "T".


And Jesus wept.


And Jesus wept again. You can't get a teaching degree at a community college only a four year college or university.


Only in third world countries.


Compared to what !


Must not be that rigorous if Curly, Mo, and LHarry passed.


Be honest here guys, how many classes have any of you ever taken in the following,
advanced algebra, advanced physical sciences, advanced chemistry, advanced psychology, trigonometry, discriptive geometry,
caculus to get your teaching certificate ? You know, the classes that take a brain. My bet is "NOTTA", any of you.
You guys give me gas the way you bully everyone with your bullock.
At least the truth be known now how a teaching certificate ain't squat to obtain.
Sorry to redden your faces all at once but someone had to do it.

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]


Or computer science or hard courses.


I have no idea what a BEd is so that is the reason I excluded it. Is this something you need to get a teaching degree on line ?

I guess different prerequisites required to teach in different countries.
Same with the requirements for a teaching degree, different from country to country.
I did find World rankings of Universities however and you will see that Duke ranks 30th.
webometrics.info/en/world
I couldn't find world University rankings for English teaching degrees however.

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]


The word is spelled writting Professor Perfect.
Exactly, you three stooges boast about your superiority because you hold a teaching certificate which is one of the easiest degrees
that there is to obtain. We have established that by the classes required to get one.
Now you wonder "why" you are not respected as teacher ?



No, I did not see that as you are to embarrassed to tell us the two you supposedly attended.
Go check this again son and you will find yours on page 4 or 5. Mine was on the first page. webwebometrics.info/en/world
The reason I have no repect for you three stooges as teachers is because of your childish taunting.
(My dad can beat up your dad, my dog is bigger than your dog......)
Who cares, ya know, who cares, but don't try to lord over me with it.
It's nice you think so much of yourselves but I don't see it that way.
You guys think you are hot bullock on a silver platter but you are no more than cold turds on a paper plate. REALLY !

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]


Oh Really ? ........my humor fails me sometimes.


Very good point however I would say that goes for not just teachers but everyone in any country, not just Poland.


Because they haven't learned to comprehend that you can't boast, insult, pretend, or demand respect....... you have to "earn it".
All of the above only show a major inferiority complex.
To get respect you have to give respect while rudeness only breeds rudeness.
And Szalawa you hit the nail on the head, neither paper certificate, age, earnings, qualifications determine a good teacher or person.
I am older then any teacher posting on here and my monthly income most likely is twice plus, what all of their incomes are added together.

That does not make me superior nor do I pretend to be. Just making my point. As in Everybody is somebody.
The key words here (and you hit it) is "Earned Respect".

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]


As did I.
I was young and it made me feel very inferior not knowing any better.
Then one evening as my father sat sipping his peeva he told be a true story about a local "dumb Polack".
The dumb Polock owned a little bar in town that catered to all the local alcoholics.
He and his wife worked their tails off and about lived every awakening hour there serving food and beer. (Very hard workers)
The patrons called the owners of this bar dumb Polocks to their faces only to get a small smile in return.
The dumb Polock let his patrons run a weekly tab. (how dumb)
He also encouraged them to bring in their wild caught fish, venison, mushrooms, ect. to his bar to cook for everyone, free of charge.
Made the patrons feel like big shots showing off their prize catches and sharing.
The bar owners wife cooked it all with lots of salt making the patrons thirsty for more beer.
She became all of their wives as she cooked, cleaned up their messes, listened to their filthy jokes and depressing self pity stories.
His patrons didn't even have to go home after work to their wives for dinner as the salty snacks and food was provided free.

They sat there drinking, eating, and running up their tabs until late in the evening.
Come friday the patrons all brought their paychecks into the bar to have them cashed to pay off their tabs and start over.
The dumb Polock quietly laughed all the way to the bank. (the dumbest fox in the forest)
That dumb Polock as he was called, is now a multi millionaire and owns the largest piece of property in my town.
He has set up all four of his children in businesses in town where many of the patrons children now work for.
Who was the dumb one ?

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]


You mean like who is the oldest ? :-)

How is a teacher to feel respected when the student is more mature then the teachers ?

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]


Not anymore in America either jon.
Realize that was two generations ago.
That is the way it was back in the first half of the 1900's.
If someone called a Polish person a dumb Polock today that person would be used for a mop to mop up the street.
That term went out when white socks did.
It just doesn't happen anymore.

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

I think it was the beginning of the first world war when people were getting their kids the hell out of Europe and sending them to America

so they didn't get killed.
Over 7 million civilians died in that war.
You have to imagine for yourself these children from Poland (and other countries) coming to America frightened out of their heads,
not knowing how to speak the language. They were exploited for meaningless jobs, didn't know who to trust, where to go,
and didn't have any money.
It would be like me coming to Poland at ten years old, no family there, not speaking the Polish language with no money.
I would do what I had to to survive in a new culture and country.
I would fall under the term, dumb American by the insulting Poles.
One would think that is where the term dumb Polock came from.
From dumb insulting Americans.

Love / Polish women care about traditional values [34]

quote by Magdalena


If Poland is a traditional society and the majority of the population are of traditionally Catholic back ground, wouldn't such a femanist statement be in direct opposition to what the Catholic church teaches ?

Does new age femanism now trump Catholic church doctrine ?

Love / Polish women care about traditional values [34]

I did that for 'effect' to get "man" in there. :-)
I knew you would take the bait.
Now please stay on thread.

Love / Polish women care about traditional values [34]

I wouldn't blame her.
A stay home Mom is much more work (24/7) then punching a clock eight hours a day.
If SHE is the bread winner of the relationship and supporting HIM while he is playing househusband and she took the money away that would hold true too.

Both mates have to be "nice".

Love / Polish women care about traditional values [34]

quote by EdinburghGirl


That is not only a Polish woman's tradition but a world wide tradition.
Do tell us what a Brit Bird would do in that situation.
Anything different ?

Love / Polish women care about traditional values [34]


BALONY !
You must have never been commited to any othe those "menial" jobs.
I worked 60 hours plus a week at one of those "high earning" jobs for years.
When my wife was hospitalized for two months and I had to stay home to care for the little ones, cook, clean, grocery shop, balance the checkbook, pay the bills, drop the younguns off at school, pick them up from school, pack their lunches, change poopie diapers, wash the cloths, clean up urp after sick kids.......you know, all those "menial" jobs,

I was more then ready to get back to my 'high earning' job before I had a nervous break down.
Much less physical work, much less stress, ADULT CONVERSATION, much more free time, punch the clock at 6p.m. and my day ended. Come home, crack a cold one and mow the lawn.

My wife's job was 24/7 never knowing what the next challenge would be.
Oh you are SOoooo wrong to judge those "menial" jobs that you obviously know nothing about.
I didn't either until they were dumped in my lap one day and reality set in REAL quick.
I ask you, how much do you think a fare wage would be for say, Being up all night with a three year old with the flu (crying, urping, temperature, and the hearshy squirts all at one time) after you have worked all day doing those "menial" jobs for the rest of your family ?

Please tell us.


I beg to differ.


That falls under the little head controlling the big head (choice) but I don't think we are talking about the money grubbers here.
We are talking about "traditional values" of Polish women, not the new age church of 'Meism'.

Food / Where can I find good coffee and Cuban cigars in Stalowa Wola area? [10]



From first hand experience as I have a home in Jamaica as well as in the U.S.
In Jamaica I can buy the best fresh Cuban cigars legally. $8 for a Coheba that lasts a half a day.
As 'Dont gag me yo' posted in another thread that U.S. Customs were nice and let his Cuban cigars slide.
They were nice to me once too for bringing in five Cuban Cohevas. (15 years ago)
They let me put the $500 USD fine on my credit card. First offense.
Second offense is being banned from travel to Jamaica for life.
So I think 'Dont gag me' is full of little green apples.
As for Jamaicans Blue Mountain coffee you can buy fresh beans off the farms for about $40 per kilo and
allowed to bring $600 worth back duty free legally. Most likely the same from Poland.
It sells for $80 per kilo in the U.S.
I have met some really cool Polish people in Jamaica.
They shocked me as they spoke perfect English.

Food / Where can I find good coffee and Cuban cigars in Stalowa Wola area? [10]


That doesn't surprise me as the U.S. has become very lacks on even travel to Cuba by Americans today.


Well I put it on my credit card back then. Just to update you.


What does a smuggler look like ?
I now just take the bands off them and replace them with Jamaican cigar bands.
They know but how was I to know when I bought them and have a reciept for 'Jamaican" cigars.
I have always lived on the edge. :-))))

Food / Where can I find good coffee and Cuban cigars in Stalowa Wola area? [10]

I may have to concede on this one. I honestly can't remember. You got me.
After giving this some serious thought I have narrowed it down to more like 30 years ago this happened.
Man it sure seems they did put the fine on my credit card though.
I am willing to stand corrected however.
I don't carry my checkbook with me when I travel though.
Hell I can't remember but it seems it cost me $500, they kept the cigars and I missed my connecting flight.
My point was, no way did they let me slide when I tried it years ago.
You must have short hair and wear a tie to get away with it.
Thanks for pointing out such a detail however Justin. ;-)
How do you like the new retina scans they do now.
You just look up at their camera, click and walla, your picture pops up on their screen with all your personal information.

Life / When will SMOKING BE BANNED? (from public areas in Poland) [44]

Smoking is already banned in Public places in Jamaica and most of the U.S.A.
The big arguement was that it would cut down on revenue from the Pub's.
Just the opposite happened. Once the ban went into effect patronage INCREASED because people that didn't smoke
no longer had to be FORCED to breath second hand smoke which is just as deadly.
We can now dress to impress when we go out for a drink without having filthy residue ruining our good cloths. It stinks !
I told the smokers who argued with me about this that I have a bad habit of drinking beer that causes a filthy residue called pee.

Let me INSIST to pee all over your hair and cloths and see how you like it.
It is even against the law to smoke in a private car that is occupied by children in the U.S.
My guess is that the Polish Government will ban it soon and start collecting hefty fines for those who refuse to abide.
I wish you the best in your very constructive crusade Maluch.

Life / When will SMOKING BE BANNED? (from public areas in Poland) [44]

Just look around you and OBSERVE for yourself those who are still smoking in 2014.
Most of the educated successful people seem to have made the good choice and quit smoking.
Most of the uneducated unsuccessful people who can least afford to smoke still do.
"Good choices good things happen, Bad choices bad things happen."

USA, Canada / 15 hr. motion on a minimum wage. (USA) [24]

Hell no !
When welfare pays more then most jobs that these dead beats are capable of doing what do you expect.
Poverty pays good these days.
Our boys in the military putting their lives on the line don't make $15 an hour nor get foodstamps to buy lobster and top shelf steaks so why should some stoner that can't skip and chew gum at the same time get paid that.

Flipping burgers is a kids job to put gas in their car and buy a bag of weed not support a family with.
So when you sit home on your dead ass sucking off welfare and demand to have high speed internet ($3 a day)
cable t.v. ($3 a day) have a smart phone ($3 a day) smoke a pack and a half of cigarettes a day ($10 a day) drink a six pack of beer ($5 a day) and buy an eighth of weed ($25 a day) what the hey. Living large.

If you do the math that all adds up to over $1400 a month on sh*t that you need none of to survive.
That's $17000 plus a year for luxuries. Pleanty to pay the NECESSITY bills.
When your maximum capabilities are $7.50 an hour to flip burgers or mow lawns then I can understand why you think
you need twice that much to support your bad habits and certainly to be able to start popping out kids.
So the system offers you $15 an hour welfare plus free medical to be able to afford your life style what you gonna do ?
Sit home on your dead ass the rest of your life and let your working neighbor support you or go get an education and
make an effort to quit those bad habits and get a $15 an hour job that you actually put out $15 an hour worth of work.
You could pay $25 an hour for those kid jobs and people would still want more even though they only put out $7.50 worth of work.
Wake up Smuck, you ain't worth it.
No, give the military personel who risk their lives a huge raise way before of thinking of giving some high school kid job one.
They sacrifice their families, their lives, are away from home all while putting their future on hold.
We all can't be doctors and should get paid according to our capabilities and if that is $7.50 an hour and it isn't enough to

pay the bills get a second job so you can. Those are the work ethics that built this great nation.

USA, Canada / 15 hr. motion on a minimum wage. (USA) [24]


Absolutely !
Long haul truck drivers, for example, can easily make $2000 USD per week here in the U.S.A.
Problem is companies can not find dependable people that speak and read English to do the job and they other half can't pass the drug testing.

Up in the booming Dakota's they can't find workers period because it is "to cold" of a climate even though they pay twice minimum wage for unskilled labor.

And that is the problem, Americans have never felt the pain of war, have never gone without, have never suffred to appreciate what they have. They are SPOILED.

Poeple in Poland know what war is all about, going to the store and not having a choice of what brand to choose from, what

suffering is, what authority is, what going without is.
These people that are demanding $15 an hour do not have the skills or capabilities to put $15 an hours worth of work out.
Cut the damn welfare programs out for ALL capable workers and they would be happy for "those $8-$10 per hour jobs" that Americans won't do.

Promlem is welfare pays $20 plus an hour to watch t.v. all day, get stoned and play video games - so there is the problem.

Only in America could the rich people who pay 85% of all income tax be accused of "not paying their fare share" by people who don't pay any income tax at all.

Starting to see the big picture here ?

News / Food producers from Poland should stop suffering from obliged sanctions against Russia [75]


Hell most Americans don't like NATO. (One World Order)
Every paycheck the American workers get have big taxes taken out of it to support NATO, to pay for weapons to
protect countries like Poland, to pay for AMERICAN soldiers to be in Poland to protect it, to pay to operate the
military bases in Poland and lastly have OUR young boys blood ready to spill on Polands ground
(like it has in the past) to protect Poland.
Now I would have to say that ALL America is suffering from the sanctions just like everyone else is if not more.
It comes right out of ALL working Americans back pocket to protect Poland.
So please quit whinning about the freedoms America has given (paid for) to Poland.
Can you tell me the cost of all the tanks America just sent to Poland's front ?
Who the F**** paid for those ? America did, that's WHO !
Maybe you would rather go back to living in fear when walking down your streets.

OPEC is taking a much harder hit as the U.S. dollar is stronger than ever.
The U.S. is producing an all time high production of oil.
Soon OPEC will be a "has been" to America.
The airlines are recovering some of the losses that they incurred over the last few years.
Americans are paying around $2.65 per gallon for gas right now which is boosting the economy.
Can't wait to connect with the Keystone pipeline out of Canada which will make gas even cheaper.
It will be America's turn to sell fresh water to OPEC for a $100 a barrel. Hide and watch.
