USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]
I never get those places - one can only eat so much!
They're still a million miles away from the US and the UK though...But they do have a McD's on every corner now (that's what I noticed in Nice a few years ago I imagine Paris is even worse).
Its about balancing what goes in and how much you exercise take...something most lazy people dont get...
The first time I went to a Chinese "All you can eat" place I thought it's the sickest place on earth. It's like a hang out club for the obese folks.
I never get those places - one can only eat so much!
France's obesity crisis: All those croissants really do add up, after all well that's the pasteries, sweets. But dinner wise the roasted or cooked meats with rice and veggies topped with a glass of wine is healthy.

Yo Sushi is my fav eatery :)
Neither of the above are that great compared to other English dishes (you forgot the Great British Sunday roast or steake & ale suet pudding). English food is homely and therefore probably not something people will go out and purchase, rather they cook it at home, I imagine its the same for Polish food - simple Mediterranean food is another matter, its tasty and therefore a popular choice.
Even with all the Poles in the UK there arent that many Polish restaurants, there is a tiny one a few miles from me but Ive never seen anyone in there when Ive gone past.
That's a bad example. Sushi is glorious. Sure, there are types of sushi that are gross but in general everyone loves sushi if they give it a chance.

Thanks for the sympathy, but we're not ready to throw in the towel just yet :) We've come through much worse, we just need to get back to basics as and Island we have gone through many transitions over the decades, things are changing here some for the better.
I have no issue with this, my issue is that we still give foreign aid to this country which effectively comes out of my pocket, let them look after their own and we in turn will do the same for our own.
Yet you still have laws that Hitler introduced...

Women confind more in their mothers - therefore mother gets more info, sons keep their mouths shut and get on with it, mother non the wiser :)
Not sure about that - every family is different.
Because some women are unable to sort out private matters without involving mummy dearest..A big mistake IMO - whilst my mum will "offer" advice, she would never "tell" me what I should do - this is in general, where matters of the heart are concerned - she wouldnt get involved - example - was with someone for 6 years, she only told me after I dumped him that she never liked him :D
Hmmm.not sure its its so rare, but yes it precious and thank you x

2.) why female's family is always better (IQly, spiritually, whateverly)?

3.) why preservation of marriages often turn out to be a fight between being oneself and doormat, not a dialogue of 2 people, achieving a compromise?

All I care about is maximizing my economic benefit and minimizing my risk, and I will make the best decisions accordingly. This is economics, not morality or ethics.
But your actions have a knock on effect with the economy - as we all know!
If this was simply a case of a bad decision on a low-rate loan (i.e. with introductory teaser rate, variable interest, rising interest rates, etc.) then that would be different. Yes, plenty of people in the US are defaulting just because of those reasons. But the CHF component has added another factor that multiplies these losses even further.
