News / 1.3% birth rate = Poland's slow death [221]

Then what should happen, Lodz? Should people just continually have children to the point there's billions of people living on one continent? Should they keep having more children than the generation before just to care for the previous generation? How is that going to be sustainable?

I just don't understand the mentality that the earth has to have such a huge population density or the human species is somehow in decline. Some people will not be satisfied until every square kilometer has a thousand people living on it and even then they will insist more needs to be added.

all the "examples" they chose to represent the different races looked horribly ugly

Humans are generally ugly.

Why is everyone always so concerned with people's reproductive choices? There will always be Poles in Poland. Just leave them alone and let them do it their way. They know what they can handle. The younger generation cannot constantly care for the older one. People are going to have to find a better way to do things.

Life / What's the deal with Polish Piracy? [27]

Its not in googles best interests to remove search results form their engines, but what it does stringently search and remove is YouTube (because they own it) content especially musical content. Ive uploaded many vids that have not made it past the verification process, or revisited older vids that have been silenced under copyright laws.

I bet the music industry puts the clamp on Google over copyright laws so Google tries to do more to stop copyrighted music from being aired. Google sees government as the enemy and might be more reluctant to cooperate with it.

These agencies would, most likely, appeal to as many search engines as possible so they wouldn't see something on one search engine that isn't on another.

I found it quite amusing that the Polish govs request had been turned down.

I skimmed through your link and found that Google turns down many requests.

I misunderstood, WB. I thought you were implying Jason was somehow involved in getting the attention of these agencies with his accounts and posts and it showed up on Google. I thought how can you know it's him when there's so many other people it could be.

Do you think those have something to do with Jason? It's doubtful because there are millions of other people who could be responsible.

Life / Polish vs British vs American - Clash of cultures [390]

Like molesting little kids and allowing them to do it again and again.

Yes, there were crimes committed and cover ups but the Church has learned from this experience and doesn't do things the same way. In fact, there are so many scandals and accusations of wrongdoing in the recent past, this is the best time to be a Catholic because everyone will be doing their best to behave.

Travel / Warsaw city bikes [14]

We have bikes for rent here as well. It would be more fun riding around Poland as I am sure the weather is much better in the summer there than it is here.

It's not just a British oddity.

I haven't seen a double tap sink in quite a while but my friend did see a lot of them in Britain where she lived as a foreign exchange student. She made friends and went back to stay a while so the double taps didn't bother her too much.

Off-Topic / I am a Pariah: My Horror Story [44]

Back then, lots of people with very ethnic sounding names changed them to ones that would fit in with Americans. It was common.

My Polish genes seem to be dominant as well.

USA, Canada / USA time zones [6]

Actually, it's not really an hour behind since it's the same time here just different numbers. When it's seven pm here, it's eight on the east coast so they see the programming at eight, we see it at seven but we are actually seeing it the same time they are.

But, mountain and pacific time zones are not seeing it at the same time. They have to wait until their clocks say seven to see it. So, it's kind of like the folks on the East coast see everything first but not really, lol. Gets confusing, don't it?

USA, Canada / USA time zones [6]

Because of television delays. They won't delay for Central. We start all our programming an hour behind Eastern. But, they will delay for Pacific because it's just too inconvenient not to. Everything would be four hours behind if they didn't.

USA, Canada / USA time zones [6]

There's like, four or five

Atlantic
Eastern
Central
Mountain
Pacific

The cut off zones? That's trickier. It's easier to just name a city and someone can tell you what time zone it's in. One state doesn't follow time zones. I think it's Arizona. Then you got Hawaii and Alaska. Not sure where they fit in. If you count their zones, could be more than five.

Life / Why are Poles in other countries called "Plastic Poles"? [168]

The term Plastic Pole sounds funny to me. I never knew such a term existed until I visited Polishforums and I was astounded that such a phrase was coined in reference to Americans of Polish descent.

News / Poles, Polonians and aliens on Pussy Riot? [182]

Two years is probably too much. I think 6 months in prison or labour camp would be enough. If they repeated their act, then 2 years would be appropriate.

You are probably right, Pawian but I don't feel sorry for them. They knew what they were doing. Maybe they will think twice about going into a church or business and doing their thing without asking first or anything. You know with all the terrorism, that can scare a lot of people. It's not the same as taking to the streets with signs.
