Thats called diversity.
Id choose hardworking Asians over fascists blaming others for their shortcomings anytime.

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [117]

That should keep him busy for a while.

Love / Polish couples living out of wedlock? [108]

Fortunately 90%+ schools in Germany are state run and they cant deny access to anybody.

Love / Polish couples living out of wedlock? [108]

Are there so many private schools in Poland or are u guys talking about the UK?

Child, religion is an antiquated concept for weak people.
When you are old enough you can make up your own mind if you want to be dipped.
We will have a huge party this Sunday with a lot of presents instead.
And if you play with those nutcases again, you wont get pocket money for a year. :D

Thats exactly what the SB did.
Oh good old times.

And im not giving up my freedom for a few nutcases and madeup threats.

News / Poland's Guy Fawkes [88]


LOL, so you think removing shoes is the best they can do? They can fly you out to Guantanamo without a trial and without anybody knowing. There you will receive such nice treatments like waterboarding, sleep deprivation etc.. And all that because your neighbour didnt like your new car and planted some evidence.


I am sure you wouldnt mind living in a police state. I for one enjoy my privacy and resent the idea of living in fear.


No its not. Its other than the rest a two way road. There is no way in hell i would allow some selfrighteous state organs to install trojans on my computer.

You have some really strange world views...

Life / Christmas in Poland - commercial, religious, family get together or what? [23]

Yeah, a traditional Polish Christian meal has lots of fish(because of the symbol of Christianity i guess).
But i always missed a decent roast. ;)

Life / Christmas in Poland - commercial, religious, family get together or what? [23]


So the no meat tradition is still alive? Do you guys have fish?
I guess thats what bumped me most culinary wise. :D
On the other hand, some non practicing german protestants have vienna sausages and potato salad(same as you get at a fast food joint). urgh

Working in the kitchen should be fine without language skills.
We even have an American church, where i worked as a driver.
Maybe they have something similar in Poland.

My Polish is a bit rusty:
homeless shelter = schronisko dla bezdomnych?
charity work = praca charytatywna?

I dont remember the word for "donate".

Life / Christmas in Poland - commercial, religious, family get together or what? [23]


Thats the only positive aspect of Xmess. When im in the country, i work at the food kitchen in a homeless shelter and donate lots of stuff.

Too bad that i get into that mood once a year only.

Food / Polish cookbook - down to earth hearty Polish cuisine [4]

Ill make sure to print it all out. Itll make a fine Xmess gift. :D

Damn, why didnt i think of that? ;)

I suggest you go for long term asap, as interest rates will continue to fall.

Its a trick banks do to avoid paying the 19% Capital Gains Tax.

You basically make a life insurance for 12 months. If you live you get the cash + 5.1%, if you die your beneficiary gets it.
