Love / What to Get my Polish Guy for Valentines Day. [77]

Hey, you know you're welcome! I just hope you know you're not the only one, and it's not exactly the end of the world is it? Have you been to a doctor to talk about your concerns? You shouldn't worry about diseases you might not have..

*hugs*

This is actually the first time I wholeheartedly agree with everything you've said in one posting! I would definitely donate if these things were going to happen, but ofcourse it's completely up to the Administrator.

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

You shouldn't take jokes seriously, that's why they're called jokes.

Most jokes about the Polish were also made up by the Polish themselves, so I don't really see what the big problem is here? You should hear some Belgium jokes about the Dutch, I can laugh about those!

I've heard a few Polish jokes from some of my Polish colleagues aswell, and I can honestly tell you that I've never even heard a Polish joke before they told me!

Don't worry, you should laugh about it.

*shrugs*

I'd give a small tip for lousy service, and give a handsome tip for really good service.

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]


Hey, the exact same thing goes for the Belgium jokes about the Dutch, and still I can laugh about them. If you can't laugh about it, then maybe you should learn to shrug it off, because some people just aren't going to change. Oh, and ofcourse some people actually think they're funny sometimes..

I would hardly call them rude.

Work / Typical rate for 1-on-1 English lessons in Poland (Krakow)? [37]


Absolutely. If that doesn't work and you get *really* desperate, you can always ask strangers on an internet forum what to charge for your private lessons.

;P

Work / Typical rate for 1-on-1 English lessons in Poland (Krakow)? [37]


Good to see you have a sense of humour man! I have no idea, but you should definitely charge whatever someone else is charging for the same services. Maybe you could google and check out what prices the competition has to offer? That should give you a reasonable indication.

Just spend three weeks in my country. I think some Polish people can be a bit socially clumsy from time to time, but I find them rather cute and innocent compared to Dutch people in general.

News / Crucifixes to stay in Polish schools [364]


I think everyone already knows that there are no two people who think and talk or even behave the exact same way. (Isn't the whole idea of conformism laughable if you think about it?)


I'm sure Sweden has its problems aswell, but I agree. I advise people to study their own history before they tell everyone their nation has always been Christian, because most people in Europe have never really accepted Christianity as their way of life, and I guess they never really did. I guess I would like to break the silence for the Polish people who feel the same way, because I'm absolutely certain there are many people who do feel the same way..

You're completely free to believe what you want to believe in ofcourse, just keep in mind that I'm also free to believe in what I want.

Yes, let's stone everyone who doesn't believe in Jesus to death, that will ensure intellectual progression!

News / Should 16-year-olds in Poland vote? [58]


I really think wisdom comes with experience. You should also keep in mind that some people have been through a lot on a very young age, so you shouldn't underestimate people simply because they're a few years younger.


I agree.

Love / They seem nice, but could Polish girls be "gold diggers"? [196]


I understand to a certain extent, but who says that someone who doesn't appear to have a future, won't have a future tomorrow? It all starts with having character, and the will to work for it. I really think that sometimes, some guys could really use a hand, and who knows they might even surprise you under slightly different circumstances. I guess I mean to say that some guys might actually do much better under a bit of a woman's influence. I'm not saying we can't do it alone though! It'll just take longer without a partner. Sort of like how some girls will be able to get an education because their boyfriends pay for their appartment, and stuff like that.. (Sharing the rent might also make a HUGE difference!) It's easy to call someone a loser on the forehand, but I think both men and women know that this world isn't always fair for everyone. It's not always the guy's own fault, that's all I'm saying.

I don't think gold diggers are clever though. I mean, one day you'll wake up, realizing time has passed, and that you've spent most of your time with someone you didn't really like, and then you'll realize that you've never shared a real connection with anyone. It can be a cold world without love you know.. (Regrets can really be a bítch sometimes!)

:)

I do understand, don't you think that's probably why I'm discussing it?

;)


So you're saying that a woman who's doing well for herself - in this day and age of equality - can't be with a guy who's doing not so well for himself? I mean, can't women secure themselves these days? Just as much as guys can? No offense, but your way of thinking is traditional for a woman, and you seem to apply the same logic, even when it's obvious that times are changing. I mean, the more women reach higher positions, the more guys will be left out for these positions. (Which in itself isn't a bad thing!)

Maybe this'll explain it better? We have fifty job offers. We have fifty guys, and we have fifty girls applying for these jobs. All these guys and girls have the same qualifications. I'm sure you can do the math as to how this affects the traditional role-pattern? So are the twenty five guys and girls who will not succeed at securing this job automatically losers? Or even stupid? I beg to differ.


I just want people to be aware of the fact that being single or not can really make a world of difference for younger people these days. Just a decade ago it was doable to develop yourself on your own, all by yourself, but today it's a lot more difficult to survive on a minimum wage, especially when you're single. (It's the same for both men and women ofcourse!)


They'll probably learn when they're older, but in most cases, they'll end up alone when their sugar daddy finds a younger girl to play with. (I understand women well enough to know that the competition can be killing sometimes!)

;)

Love / They seem nice, but could Polish girls be "gold diggers"? [196]


I feel the same way. I've worked with some really hard working girls from Poland, and I know one who even showed up at work when she really should've stayed in bed. She was really sick that day, but she was afraid she would lose her job. I basically had to drag her home, and I made sure that she didn't. I never came across a girl who was so fragile who showed so much character. She had a very big mouth too! (Which I like.)

For what it's worth, I hope you don't.


Just remember the good things, and be grateful for those moments, forget the bad stuff and dare to dream about tomorrow. I know, it sounds dramatic and slightly poetic but I really mean it. (I mean having something to live for makes all the difference!) You should do all the things you like for a change, and spend some quality time with your girlfriends. Maybe you'll even bump into someone who will make you happier than you were, you never know.

:)

I'm not saying it's all known to me, but ofcourse I understand why women tend to choose the more succesful ones.


Fair enough.


Well, over here girls usually talk to eachother about a guy they might be curious about, and that's how they find out if a guy is doing well for himself or not, or if he fits in their community or not. (Not all the girls care about such things though!)

;)

Love / They seem nice, but could Polish girls be "gold diggers"? [196]

I have my pride. I want a girl to know who she's sleeping with. If that's not good enough, then that's too bad. (I'll keep my honour, thanks!)

:)

Love / They seem nice, but could Polish girls be "gold diggers"? [196]


No, but it's not like I can do anything about it.


Hey, believe it or not, but some of us do..


Yeah, but that's because.. (It's probably in my best interest to shut up now?)

I'm just going to nod in agreement.

Life / I'm from Polish descent. CAN YOU GUYS EXPLAIN THE EU TO ME? [115]


I'm sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong. Financially, we're going through some heavy weather at the moment, because we contribute too much. (Per capita.) Holland could easily fix these problems for itself, if only all the rich people here were going to show some solidarity. So far, they're not. If the more social parties aren't going to be a majority in our next government, most of us are going to have even more costs after the election. Today, we're going to vote locally, so this might give us an indication as to how the next elections will look like. (I'll keep my fingers crossed for some solidarity!)

I'm not at all opposed to the idea of a united Europe, but I don't like the idea of having to change our laws, (Because we tolerate a lot when it comes to softdrugs, which really solved a lot of crime-related issues for us.) and I seriously dislike the unfair competition that's going on between working people. I guess I'm hoping for equality and more solidarity, but the way things are going..

Okay, so what if both of your nose holes itch? Does it mean you'll be angry at your guests? Or does it mean you're allergic to something?

Unfortunately slave labour still exists, and most people in most countries aren't doing anything about this. Quite the contrary actually, most people even profit or benefit from this injustice.

It's also our responsibility though, because we can choose not to buy the cheapest clothes made by children, and we can choose not to outsource to countries where people are basically exploited, and in most cases forced to work for little or nothing. We can choose to pay people in Africa a fair price for their resources.


Well, even if it's not you who's doing it, you are just as much a part of the bigger scheme as I am, and I'm just going to say that most of us simply don't care enough, and basically allow these things to happen. So in a sense we're all guilty.


Like I've said previously, we may not own slaves, but we allow companies to use people as slaves. So in a way we do have slaves who perform certain tasks for us. Think about that for a second.
