Love / Polish girls, how are they when they are in love? [86]

Not quite. Had quite some interaction with the subject. However, she turned into a party whore, once drunk and that kinda turned me off. What even turned me off more was the fact that she seems to be proud of it as well. So I told her to go to hell. Unfortunately she did not accept this and now she is on the phone every other day, sending me texts and mails, whereas she has never done that before the entire year. Some Polish girls are strange, like any other girls, this one is VERY strange. But I always seem to come across girls like that anyway.

Thanks, Seanus :)

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]

Thanks guys! Guess I have to do some problem-solving here :)

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]

Hey Guys,

Been a long time :) I wasn't sure wether the next phrase belongs in this thread or in the translation thread, but I think it's a bit of both...

Somebody said this about my g/f; what does it mean? And: should I beat the person up who said it? :)

"Jebana zdzira"

I know that zdzira means something like "whore" or "tramp" but the additional "jebana" I cannot figure out. If anybody could help me on this one I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

M-G

PS: I was figuring that it means sth like "dirty" or "oversexed" whore...But I'm not sure.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

No, growing up as inheritor of a great-grandfather who founded one of the biggest companies in the world is fun. My parents didn't have that much dough to bake, but still had the status. This meant that I had to do loads of things that I did not want to do. I had to go horse riding. And I don't like horses. I had to join a hockey club. I do not like hockey, I do not like the ppl at a hockey club. And when you proclaim you're Dutch, they say you're a Jew, even though I'm only half Jewish. So it's off to the Synagogue every freaking Saturday. I do not fancy churches. Although I liked the singing. I had a Bar-Mitzwa. Even though I had no clue what it was about and only knew that my friends were playing football and I wanted to be there with them, but I could not because it was my bloody Bar-Mitzwa and they were not invited because they were Protestant. So I got to meet all kinds of ppl whom I never saw before in my entire life, wishing me well and all that Jazz. So. That's the rant for today :)

History / Lwów, Wilno ... kresy - Poland have lost enormoust part of our heritage... [389]


I think having 6 million of your ppl killed for no other reason than that they are what they are is of an entirely different dimension than losing some cities, how painful that may be.

I don't sympathise with the Germans, I only wanted to state that all ppl have their dark pages and to deny it or defend it as being "just" only makes it worse. I do not condone any atrocities committed to ppl, no matter who it is that commits them. I do not condone what the Dutch did in Atjeh, I do not condone what the Russians did to the Poles, I do not condone what the Germans did to loads of ppls and I do not condone what the Poles did after the war to the Germans living in territories that were as of then Polish. Reactions immediately after the war are understandable, but they should not take too long and definitively not still being defended 60 years on. Instead you should say: ok, it happened and we are not proud of it, but it happened. That would be the just thing to say.


Well, what is stopping them? They're part of the strongest economic bloc in the world and starting to enjoy all the benefits that come with being part of the EU. Let's leave the past the past. You don't need to forget, but you need to forgive. If forgiveness is a stranger to ppl, future wars are born and the world will still be the same old sh*tty place it has always been. Have we ppl not learned from past mistakes?

And: I did critisize Bratwurst for doing that. Apparently you did not notice that.

Language / Your perception of the Polish accent [145]

Depends a bit. I like the accent of my lady (of course:) ) and she laughs a bit about my Dutch accent. You see Polish ppl make typical little errors that give them away: "I take bus", "I'll have apple" plus some others like "I liked" instead of "I like it" or -and this is really a common error- "I thing" instead of "I think". They seem to have the biggest problems with the subject in a sentense: I hardly hear them say a, an, the and if they do, it's a lot of times: "I take this bus', when they mean to say "I take the bus". But like said, it depends; if a hot blonde speaks with a Polish accent it's of course much sexier than when a neanderthalic construction worker does so :) Also, I find that if guys speak with a Polish accent, it somehow sounds more like a Russian accent to me, but that could be me.

Law / HELP: ALLEGRO... Do most Polish buyers at allegro.pl use PayPal? [33]


Indeed, a while ago I had a dispute with some merchant who did not deliver the correct goods I ordered because he did not have them on stoch anymore. He didn't want to refund the money, so I went to PayPal and informed them of this. The only response I got was that the transaction was older than 45 days and that they would close the case. 3 days later I received an email with a survey to ask me if I was happy about their service. Truly Satan must have been behind this.

I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Actually, I have some more funny news for Crow, our hysterical Slavic nationalist: Did you know that the name "Slavic" actually literally comes from the fact that the Romans kept these ppl as slaves? The Romans saw them as slaves and the name Slavic is literally derived from this fact.

That's actually not a story, but a remark from a German priest, not a Polish one, forgot his name, I believe it was Niemann or something like that. Anyway, it was a remark to illustrate the attitude of the Church during the Holocaust.

the UK, Sweden and Holland do have good health insurances - the one in Ireland is neglectable.

And Moksha: if you want security, you better not go to the US. Everyone knows that there is no such thing as security in that country. I'm not defending the US, but I'm just being realistic here: if you don't work hard over there you will not make it. If you do work hard there and you get sick, you will not make it. And I know this last example first hand from a relative of mine.

News / Polish Immigrants Leave America for Europe [210]


That is actually true: if you want to make it in the US, there is nothing put in your way. Whereas in Europe it is virtually nowhere allowed to have 5 (!) jobs at the same time and/or to work for seven days a week, in America this is allowed. Not that I would want to work for seven days, but it's still possible. You can reach great heights over there. Downside however, is that if you do NOT make, because of bad luck or illness or whatever, they don't care about you either. Simple illustration is the number of homeless ppl compared to the number of rich ppl. Often they're only seperated from each other by just a few streets.

M-G (still realistic)

News / Polish Immigrants Leave America for Europe [210]


There is a contradiction in that sentense somewhere....

A) If they are struggeling to become legal immigrants then they are there on a limited-time visa, so they had to leave anyway - it is hard for EVERYBODY to become a legal immigrant in the US, not only for Polish ppl.

B) Isn't wanting to have a good job and earning a very good living a form of materialism?

C) Ah, there it is, the contradiction: Promising employment, read: something much better than the odd waitress or busboy... On one hand they despise the American materialism on the other hand they want to be part of it. My best guess is that once they are in the circle of promising employment-opportunities, they will not despise American materialism anymore. Only those who have nothing despise materialism from the ones who can afford it. Funny how this disgust usually disappears very quickly once one also is able to afford to buy loads of stuff you do not really need.

Do they expect to get so much better jobs in Ireland, the UK, Holland or Sweden? With the odd exception, if they have no mentionable education, they will have to do the same sh*tty jobs they're doing in the US. Only difference is that they do not have to apply for a visa.
