Life / The most dissapointed with Poland are those who have Polish origins. [35]


Were those posts written by Poles? I don't think so. I've noticed that it's usually foreigners who ridicule "Plastic Poles" (you won't even here such expression in Poland, Poles who live abroad are simply called "Polonia").

There's this thread created by delphiandomine:

[urlc=hhttps://polishforums.com/usa-canada/polack-american-polonia-plastic-pole-culture-47480/2/]Polack/American Polonia/Plastic Pole "culture"[/url]

who's asking:


And what that "real Pole" answers?


Is delphiandomine a Pole?
No, he isn't, fortunately.

Love / Polish relationships (race and religion) [140]


All I've read were your views that white women shouldn't date men of other races.
So where are those arguments? Can you point them to me? Where are they in this thread?


I know nothing about any scientific research, I just heard it somewhere, probably in some American film or something :)
So, let's assume for a minute it's true. Asians are more intelligent than other races.
Consider that when people mate they try to choose the best gene "bank". Intelligence would be a major factor. We all want are children to be intelligent. So... women of all races, including white women, should mate only with Asian men in order to get the best genes for their children! White men won't get any. Yup! ASIAN DOMINATION, BWAHAHAHA!!! :D


You are funny :)
No, but I wouldn't mind dating a man of other race if I liked him and found him attractive :)
And those Polish girls aren't degenerated. They are far better human beings than you are.

Love / Polish relationships (race and religion) [140]


I see you are a hypocrite and apply double standards. May I remind you that who's dating who is personal and none of your business?

And what arguments have you provided? In favour of what? Of racial purity? LOL


You mean that Asians are more intelligent than white people? :)


You claim that "big intelligence differences exist between the 3 main races" so it's you who should prove that what you claim is true.

Well, somebody had to tell you the truth :)
Btw, what "facts"? lol


Hehe, firstly, I don't sell myself to anybody, cheaply or not.
Secondly, I don't think I've seen many "3rd world guys" where I live (and it's southern Poland :)). But I've seen two Asian women lately, having a walk with a cute little Asian girl :) I don't know whether they were from the "3rd world" you're talking about, though :)

Travel / Would Polish visit Greece for it's islands or for it's history ? [30]

I just got back from Greece, I visited Athens, it was simply wonderful, you can't describe with words all those ancient monuments, landscape and, of course, people... I hope that all of you will be able to go there, because I fell in love with this country and I will visit it again next year for sure, who knows... :))))D"

Travel / Would Polish visit Greece for it's islands or for it's history ? [30]


Yes, this sounds interesting :) I suspect people who have never been to Greece would like to do some sightseeing, so, Athens, with The Acropolis and visiting some museums with all those statues, pottery and other ancient stuff :) The theatre at Epidaurus, Delphi, etc. And a cruise afterwards - this sounds nice :)

3 days in a bus doing a tour - that would mean sleeping on the bus? I usually can't sleep on the bus :/ But that's only me ;)


I don't know about other people, but I would :P Never been there yet ;)


I guess there are some ruins from ancient times in Turkey and Croatia, but I'm sure you can get far more and more interesting in Greece, so if someone's interested in sightseeing specifically this kind of stuff, Greece is the place, I guess. If you go somewhere only to relax, to lie on the beach and swim then Turkey and Croatia is probably as good or better, I don't know.

People seem to be pleased with Greece judging by what they write on this forum:

Language / The Future of Polish Language [179]

Actually, I don't only allow it but I really appreciate when someone corrects my mistakes (in a nice or neutral way) :) It's always a way to learn, after all.

Language / The Future of Polish Language [179]


Sometimes it isn't a "misguided illusion" :) What then?
When someone's Polish/English/any other language is really basic (or even less than basic) or the pronunciation makes what the person says unintelligible it can be a real pain to communicate. At first you may smile and nod politely but on an everyday basis it could be irritating, I suspect :)

Language / The Future of Polish Language [179]


Actually I can't believe she even speaks to you at all considering how you call her. Do you call her like that also in front of her or just behind her back?

"Says it's easier to speak in English. Can you believe this s'hit?"

Well, if you try to speak to her in Polish and your Polish sucks then it may be easier for her when you speak in English. Or if you speak in English and expect her to answer you in Polish it's also not so easy for the brain to switch from one language to another.


Yes, you have a problem.


Slap yourself.

Who's that woman, anyway? Your housemaid?

Genealogy / Popular Polish First Names? [152]


I don't know, I've never met anybody with this name, probably that's why :)


Yeah? Well then, maybe you're right :) I guess I don't pay much attention to which traditional names are used.
And what do you think about Sławomir? I know at least one Sławek (he's 31).

Genealogy / Popular Polish First Names? [152]

Mirosław sounds modern? I wouldn't say so... But I guess you're right about Radosław - there was one Radosław at my year at my univeristy. You can shorten it to Radek and this makes it sound more modern, I think. The same is with Przemysław - Przemek, that's why I mentioned it.


No, I don't think so. My uncle's name is Zbigniew, but he's older, of course.
You can find Slavic names more often among older people, of course, especially in the countryside.

News / Polish Lithuanian Diplomatic War? At last. [533]


The Vietnamese are immigrants, they don't have the status of minority in Poland. The status of minority in Poland have those nationalities which lived in what is now Poland over the centuries.


LOL
Maybe they will get road signs in English when there will be as many English people in Poland as there are Polish people in England? :D

No, I doubt that :)
I think it's silly. Polish immigrants who come to the UK should learn English. You should learn the language of your host country.
Btw, in which Western country besides the UK and Ireland do you have road signs in English? :D According to you in every country where there are some English people there should be road signs in English? :D

History / Maus by Vladek Spiegelman - animals to represent Poles? [68]


I don't do such things, you're far better at demagogy and twisting things to your liking.
I am honestly curious what you meant.


And how the second part of your sentence changes the meaning of the first part? Can you explain?


No, I can't compete with you, sorry :)


Indeed.

History / Maus by Vladek Spiegelman - animals to represent Poles? [68]


But entire families were executed for hiding Jews. That's a fact. Apparently this is how the Nazis interpreted this law about helping Jews. Such was the "law" in the Nazi occupied Poland. Mass executions without a trial, pacification operations - burning down entire villages and killing their inhabitants for helping the Polish resistance troops, killing entire families for helping Jews.

So what do you say to that?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacification_operations_in_German-occupied_Poland


Really? All those people who died with their families for helping Jews don't matter? Interesting...

"Pomoc Żydom, nie ograniczała się tylko do żywności, ubrań, lekarstw ale też do ukrywania w miejscach bezpiecznych. To właśnie ten rodzaj pomocy, był obarczony olbrzymim ryzykiem. W przypadku ukrywania Żydów każdej osobie oraz jego rodzinie groziła kara śmierci. Nie było mowy o jakimkolwiek sądzie, znalezienie ukrywanych Żydów oznaczało egzekucję całej rodziny. Jedna z takich historii wydarzyła się we wsi Dąbrowa."

Food / Taste of food in Poland vs other countries [186]

My God, I see this thread turned into a food fight ;D


Teffle, I think that if someone isn't a good cook he/she can spoil even a simple dish :)
This one for example:


I wouldn't call it "cakes":
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Wings

I don't know how would you judge the level of difficulty of faworki (it's a simple dish, after all), but I would say that it isn't so easy to make really tasty faworki. I know because I can compare those that I've eaten in restaurants and bought at shops or at confectionery and those made by my mum and my grandmother. Even my mum's and my grandma's faworki differ. My grandma's are better. I don't know why, my mum is always trying to make them as crispy, delicate and tasty, but she never succeeds. Grandma's faworki can even fall apart - they're that crispy, they just melt in your mouth... aaahhh... They're perfect... They're the synonym of heaven... ;O

*drools*

;D


I don't get it, does a dish have to be difficult to make to be tasty? :)


Well, it definitely isn't "revolting" for me :) Germans also seem to like bigos, as I've heard (probably they're more familiar with such types of dishes).

I, for example, find sushi revolting, I just hate the taste of raw fish. Algae isn't too appealing for me either. But apparently sushi is quite popular (I don't understand why, but hey... everything is for the people :)) :) And it's a such a simple dish!

Some people are crazy about all those types of French cheese, some people hate it.
I guess that during childhood we get used to certain flavours and ways of cooking.
The Japanese like to bring out the natural flavour of ingredients. They can do this with all types of fish as they live on islands and they can always get fresh fish (and hence the raw fish in sushi, I suppose).

Europeans, the French for example, like to alter the taste of ingredients with all kinds of different spices and treat them in all kinds of ways.

I think simple dishes can be very tasty. Look at the Chinese cuisine - it's simple, tasty and affordable. And probably that's why it's so popular around the world :)

Now, what I think nott meant (but was a bit too critical, I think ;)) is that there's not much real cooking done in the British households? I can't say from my experience as I've never been to the UK, but my mum spent some time in the North of England because she was sent there from her work place for a training. She said that "normal" cooking has been, apparently, replaced by heating up ready meals bought at shop in a microwave. One exception was a wife of my mum's colleage from work and her tasty food, but she was a professional cook (chef ?).

My mum said the fish & chips were omnipresent ;)
Of course, she had a limited experience but I can imagine what she said was true as I can see the same thing is slowly starting to happen also in Poland...

Well, it was awkward at the beginning, believe me... ;) But somehow we got through this stage, I guess ;)


But... :/

Love / Such a Very Sad Loss.. fighting the battle with a Polish lady to see my daugher. [56]

And if we care about each other, share our problems and joy, give advice, help each other, comfort and talk from time to time about everything and nothing - does this make us friends?

Love / Such a Very Sad Loss.. fighting the battle with a Polish lady to see my daugher. [56]


I think you just like to whine :)


You were implying it in a very obvious manner, sorry.


Now you're just lying.


I'm not bsing, it's just the way I see it...


Then what? He knows way too much about me to call it just "znajomość"... And we didn't stop talking...
We still care about each other in a way. Not in the way we used to, as a couple, of course, but still... :)

Love / Such a Very Sad Loss.. fighting the battle with a Polish lady to see my daugher. [56]

And so is my ex-boyfriend.
What I wrote about talking to ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends is based on what foreign people (and one Polish woman, I think) wrote here on this forum.

Love / Such a Very Sad Loss.. fighting the battle with a Polish lady to see my daugher. [56]


They must be brave women :) I would go crazy if someone locked me up with you in one room ;)


Yes, exactly - a few people :) Some men apparently come here to whine about their failed relationships and always blame the women. Most of the users here are foreign men so they will, of course, join in the whining lol


Give her some time... lol


Then it's a shame that you focus so much on the bad stuff and rant about those two girls on and on and on (the past) but fail to mention the "new one" (the present).


LOL
I would say, even judging by what foreign people wrote on this forum, that people in general often don't talk to their ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends and ex-friends as there is usually a reason that they're "ex".


And what, you think it's "a Polish thing"? LOL

Edelweiss, that’s a sad story :( You have my sympathy and I hope you’ll feel better as time passes.


Um… That’s weird… Sorry, but how did you communicate while your relationship lasted? Did you talk at all? o_O




LOL
You know what, guys, my guess is that the likes of you probably attract the type of women who’d go for you only because you’re foreigners.


No, Barr, I think in your case it wasn't "a coincidence", it was just… you… lol


Yes, you’ve written about those two (my God!) girls many, many times on this forum already… How about meeting some MORE Polish girls? I mean, more than… two? I think that would broaden your horizons lol

On the other hand… You’d probably talk to these girls again and again about those previous two Polish girls and so after some time those new ones would run from you screaming ;D

So maybe spare them this suffering xD
