Life / Child abuse in Poland [64]

Define abuse. Physically, verbally, or neglect. I don't think it's any different in other countries. Maybe nowadays, parents "let the kids go" way too much.

Life / Womans day in Poland? [242]

Send her whatever flowers she likes.
But if you don't know what she likes: roses are always safe. Tulips are pretty. Freesias smells pretty.

Food / Eat goulash from a cat and a steak from a dog in Poland! [114]

Why? Because we are so called "thinking creatures" aka. "humans" and we must eat everything we see on our way? Maybe if we would stop and think just a little bit, our asses wouldn't be so huge and our brains so small.

Life / What is Poland's view on obesity? How healthy, fit are Poles? [166]

Philadelphia where I live (same size as Warsaw) has 200 + fast food joints (McDonald's, KFC, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Papa John's, Jack in the Box etc.) not counting hundreds of corner store businesses that sell fast food.

So? It's the USA. That's why people are fat. Maybe you should think of reducing this number, instead of being proud of it.

Pennsylvania isn't just to the north of Szmulki.

LOL

I think most will get used to this sight as obesity rates in Poland are on the rise.

There will be always the US to beat the Poles to it.

And also how much into personal fitness revolves around polish life.

Don't worry, it's a totally different lifestyle in Poland; you'll lose your extra weight.

Food / Eat goulash from a cat and a steak from a dog in Poland! [114]

Jakub Pham is a Pole, but his parents come from Vietnam. Every country has its customs; he eats cat and dog's meat.
He heard about the closing of an animal shelter in Celestynowo, and got an idea of openning a restaurant in Poland, which serves our pets' meat.

Many organizations fight to prevent opening such a place. Animal shelters consider not letting Asians adopt dogs and cats.

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

Could you elaborate ?

Elaborate? Hm. Spices used are always the same and only a few of them, salt and paper mainly.
Try other cusines, and you'll know what i am talking about.
I am not saying it's not good. I am saying it is bland in comparison.

Do you find a food in Poland more strongly flavoured than in your country's?

Polish food is pretty bland. Not enough spiced up and flavored.

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]

Scientists will dig out Fahrenheit parents' remains to find out more about the scientist himself. It's an excellent ocassion to check their DNA.

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]

I used wiki as a source

It's the first thing to pop up.
:)
Wiki has its references, so it is borrowed from somewhere else.

"Modern Nietzsche scholarship does not believe in the legend of noble Polish ancestry"

You know what people say about believes.
;)

Talking about the past. Europe was a "mess". Countries were changing its borders often, people migrated.

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]

I can provide many more sites stating that he was a German. I want you to provide just one stating that he was a Pole, PP.

He said that about himself. Wiki source.

the name Nietzsche is not Polish but i think the Poles should "claim" him haha.

It seems Poles must claim many brains.
;)
On many websites it says that Gdańsk was German, not even Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Hmm.

History / Was Daniel Fahrenheit a Pole? [138]

A scientist best known for inventing thermometers. He was born in Danzig (Gdańsk) when it was a part of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. But most of his life he spent in Germany.

So was he a Pole or a German?

Life / Why Polish people should be proud of being Polish? [370]

Are you guys proud of Doda and Redhead Wiśniewski?

It's been created by Poles. Loved by Poles. Sold by Poles. Isn't it?

Tusk who has presided over the funeral of Poland's ship-building industry?

You're naive if you believe in all of their promises (no matter Left or Right). Reality check, P3.
