Life / Small change in shops in Poland!? [95]

As I see it, it is common couretsy to give the cashier the exact change. If asked, at least look into your wallet, not just say flatly that you don't have the change, like a complete boor.

Also, it is very rude to buy something for 1 zl. and try to pay with one hundred zl. bill. If I indeed have to do it, I usualy apologise and ask the shopgirl, beforehand, if it will be much of a trouble.

Maybe, we Poles spoiled our cashieres ;-)

News / Komorowski - Russian stooge, traitor background [42]

I, for one, do prefere the government to be engaged in petty bickering. That way they do not have time to ruin everyone's else life, as I do not believe that ANY government is physically able to do something good. Every single change they would impose on us will turn our situation to the worse.

Life / How do Polish people see homosexuality? [152]

I dont mind gays at all. It is everyone private buissness.
But I do oppose political correctness in any form, I don't want it to infect Poland, so I consider my patriotic duty to bash fags now and then. But I do not put a real heart into it ;-)

News / Komorowski - Russian stooge, traitor background [42]

Ancient history notwithstanding (I would not like to be judged by what my father was too) Komorowski used his temporary seat to forward decisions that should be made by a president, who would have a mandate from elections. The premature nominations for NBP chief, army generals, signing laws that previous president didn't want to(IPN). He is overusing his competitions. He was not nominated by us and as so those decisions should be invalidated since there was no hurry. Komorowski makes faux pas almost every time he opens his mouth. Should I vote for a guy who's supported by a moron who goes by the name Palikot?

Komorowski is a complete moron with no idea about national economy, also voting for him means 100% power for PO without any control from the opposition. I don't want this, especially after their so "liberal" ideas for internet censorship.

Life / Outgrowing Socialism in Poland: how long will it now take? [8]

While EU is rather unpleasantly socialistic, the pros still outweigh the cons. So while I wish EU moved towards the right, as far right as possible, even the leftist EU is beneficial for Poland. For now.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

"Lost of blacs here" not necessarly must be a racist statement. It can be just an observation. I mean, in my medium sized town Bielsko- Biala I see a black person passing by the street about twice a year. So, if being, for the first time, in a place where I can see multiple individuals with black skin, I could easily say something like "Whoa! Lots of Blacks here!"

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

Wait, Brit is offensive? I thought it is neutral. So how one should call inhabitant of British Islands? In not controversial way, that is. Something short, like Pole for inhabitant of Poland?

Anyway, Czarnuch is considered offensive mostly because of western movies. If in English speaking film someone is called a niger, it is almost allways translated as Czarnuch. So, many non english speaking Poles do think that every black person is turning angry and agresive when being called lkie that. So if someone wants, for whatever reason, offend or infuriate said black person he say to him "ty czarnuchu"

Of course, someone like me knows the right world to make person with black skin to explode with anger :-]

News / Who are you voting for in the 2010 Poland's presidential elections and why? [82]

After a mature consideration I decided to vote for Kaczyński, the lesser of two evils.

You don't relay know much about Russians, do you?


In sum I have spent almost 10 years in Russia. Did you? I do know what can be expected of them. On the surface, Russians may seem friendly and funny, but they'll show theirs true colors sooner or latter. Russian will never tell the truth if he can lie. At the very least, when dealing with non-Russian.


In contemporary black boxes data it stored in stacked arrays of memory chips. Investigators can simply play it back on the recorder by connecting it to a readout system. With contemporary recorders, investigators can extract stored data in a matter of minutes.

O Rly? And for how long, do you think, Russians would stand such a thing?


I am not a russophobe, as I am not afraid of Russians.


So should I refuse to lern from past mistakes? For you it is living in the past. For me, it is common sense.

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

And one, last thing. Try to imagine that Putin died in the plane crash in, lets say UK. Can you imagine Brits shouldering Russians aside, grabing the black boxes and relaasing the first transcripts after a month?

This "transcript" is a bull. Even before reading it I knew it will be just a bunch of lies. If they relaesed it on the day one, that wolud be another story. After all this time, they could put there about everything.

I cannot believe that anyone can be so naive, so gullible, to even consider Russian nonsense claims.
If it was genuine accident, they from the start woluld be as open as possible about it.

But honorable thing to do. The right answer for such an act.

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

Obvious fake. And not very good at that.
I bet our goverment knows that. They will not admit it, because they would have to react to it. And they lack balls for it.

Kaczynski would not hesitate to declare war on Russia, but he is dead unfortunately.

Life / Polish men mostly have short hair, why? [43]

Why, I used to have somewhat long hair. sometimes to the half of my back. Untill I started to turn gray, that is. Then I shaved bald the damn thing. I keep it that way up to today...

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [404]

Sure, Russia is just the most probable candidate. After all, they just killed our President.
But it can be the German invasion ;-) If Germans one day go ape about some new, Muslim Führer.
Or even EU invasion, if EU gets too bossy and Poland decides to bale out. Anyway, some anti aircraft rockets would be handy on that unfortunate day, I think.

Are you happy now, Crow?

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [404]

What the use of strong economy in the case of Russian invasion? Will we stop invading forces by throwing at them with money?
Strong economy in important, strong military is paramount. And so far Poland did not have any long or medium range anty air defence worth speaking of. Sure, one battery of Patriots will not help much, but that is the start. With time, we can buy more of these.

News / Polish Policeman shoots down a foreigner in Warsaw [300]

AJ, are you some sort of commie?
Being poor do not mean you have to turn up as criminal.
I, for one, was born as close to poverty as possible in Poland. I was destined to care for someone else's sheep, pasturing them in the mountains. Just as my father and grandfather did.

Dont just whine about unfair treatment. Think of your perpectives, grind your teeth, say to yourself "No way in hell!" (Nie ma, kur*wa, mowy!)and work for years to get out of this sh*it. Poverty is not an excuse.

If you start killing people or selling drugs, whatever your background is, it is your fault, not the one of the society.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

It it serious buissness to you, now dosent it?
Well, Zetigreczynko, I was more or less joking. But after the years of communism we are far from being part of zachodnioeuropejskiego basenu kuturowego. It will take time to get back there...

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1080]

We, Poles just like to think of Poland as central Europe. For many of us everything estern is clearly inferior. And while we do know that one cannot call Poland "the western country" with a straight face (yet?), we do not like to think of ourselvs as estern.

News / Polish Policeman shoots down a foreigner in Warsaw [300]

Is it the first sign of incoming black crime's avalanche in Poland?
Will it be remembered as the end of some era, start of something new to us?

If so, it is somewhat good prognosis that Polish cop killed black criminal, not the other way around. It seems to suggest that this future battle do not have to be lost. We will prevail!

News / Komorowski for complex-ridden Poles? [94]

The sad truth is, there is not even a single candidate I would like to become our President. They are crooks or idiots, all of them, one way or the other.

I think I am going to vote for Leper, just for giggles.

Is trying to figure out the truth a "waste of time and energy"? Maybe. But it is my time and energy and I am free to waste it, however I will, now isn't it? I also waste my energy and time on collecting stamps and building miniature planes. And trolling internet forums ;-)

When Russians are going give away the black boxes? When they are sure theirs fabrications are flawless at last?
