And what we are supposed to do?
When I ask Poles about their opinion about this they just shrug and accept it.

I agree with you.It starts to be like that in Poland.We still have to change but there's an improvement.
When I was present in situation like that I've clearly said that this person shouldn't drive and then everybody agreed with me.
Did you call the police?
Once the general tone of society moves against drink-driving, most people (aside from the uncultured few) get the message and stay off the drink.
I agree with you.It starts to be like that in Poland.We still have to change but there's an improvement.
But still, in Poland, when Wujek Andrzej stumbles away from the family party clutching his keys, maybe your grandmother will say "are you sure you can drive ok?"
When I was present in situation like that I've clearly said that this person shouldn't drive and then everybody agreed with me.
It's a pathetic story I've seen too many times at too many Polish celebrations.

Life / What do Poles want, what drives them...? [58]
What I want? To spend time with my family and 2 pets,to keep the friens I have and meet new ones (it may be hard as I'm crazy:D), to finish my school and get a good job (at least mildly interesting and with convenient salary) and to just be happy.I've never dreamt about anything else.Och,and I want my life to be a little bit useful.

Life / Foreigners in Poland and what they think of us [54]
When some Pole was going abroad without knowing any language and not trying to learn one I said he was stupid and that's what I think of any person in this kind of situation. However I have to admit that with English it's a little bit different-it's true that's international language and ppl take shortcut.I have to admit I also do that- I know Russian but I immediately speak English-it's just easier that way.

Life / Polish gimnazjums - memoirs of a teacher [32]
Of course Polish teenagers are not different that others but as to the problems in school-it all depends on the teacher.I had teachers that would never let kids to behave that way.
And as for the pre-school- we don't have enough kindergartens in Poland.After the fall of communism one after another was shut down.
Who want to say that polish schools/youth are better than in western countries let better wake up dreaming about neverland!

No, I'm not interested in that. As far as I know all my family is pure Polish. My brother checked our genealogy and everything seems clear. If I had some not Polish ancestors in,let's say, 17th century I don't care.

What makes it about 500 zł (I've checked Polish sites and it's 620 zł)-I doubt that any of my friends would spend such money on tests.They would probably prefer to go on holiday.
The 46 marker test on ancestry.com is $179

And your ancestry would have to be unclear.I think it's more frequent in US and therefore DNA tests are more popular there.
Could you explain that to me because I don't quite get it?
Of course not but deep down in my soul I know that we have one special gene that makes us so perfect and better than other nations ;D
Well you'd have to probably have a pretty good interest in history, genealogy, family, and such to want to spend the time or money on it.

It's an interesting point though, don't you think, Americans spend that money on their own fantasy.

Of course someone has pure and perfect genetic line going back to the firt people on the planet- I do ;D And now let's be serious- are you really interested in your ancestors from 11th century? It would be nice to know that but just as some kind of curiosity. And btw- DNA test are only showing you some traces and don't tell you anything really important.
Sure, that Americans seem to travel through different countries and time in thier heads, believing that they were Polish or Irish etc...

The word "ów" is old-fashioned and reraly used in the present. You can use "ów" when you don't want to repeat yourself ans say all the time ...ze...ze...ze and when you want to sound more eloquent.

superstitious
don't change their mind easily(it can be good or bad)

fatalist
helpful
I don't like to generalise but that's what I think about my nation.

Language / Polish sayings [236]
Don't act like you don't know/understand what's going on.
It's usually used when a person is trying to pretend that she doesn't know anything.For example when the kid tells you that he doesn't know who ate all the sweets or when parents are yelling and the kid is all "but why are mad"
My old man(father) and uncles used to say this to me when i was a kid and beyond...hope my polish spelling is right-----" nie udawaj greka "......which obviously means don't act a greek,...........so my question is???are greeks gypsies,or does it imply something else ???or would they have said it to me because i was a smartarse(aussie slang)know-it-all !!!

I think it's better for her to drink 1-2 beers with responsible adult that in secret. On the other hand an adult who is drinking with teenager can be accused of demoralisation.
I'm not sure if giving/proposing an alcohol to unadult is not a law offend.
Yes,it is but it's not strictly respected.

If you think that not living in your country is betrayal than...I just think you have very narrow understanding of the word patriot.It's nothing bad(many ppl does) but I think it's not that easy.
You're wrong-this things helped some ppl to survive.And sending money to Poland helped our economy.These money were spend in Poland and helped Polish companies.
I pity those cowards who ran away from their country and swore allegiance to foreign powers, personally. I can't imagine ever betraying my homeland in such a way.
