Life / Understanding Poland's Birthday Tradition [66]

There is such tradition but the level of "beating" depends on person who is the guest.If your friends are morons then it can be a little to much but if they are sensible ppl then it's just fun.What's more if this girl was really beaten so hard then why no-one reacted?Fun is fun but when someone is getting violent...

Life / Cost of cell service in Poland (Who has the best service for the money?) [3]

I've heard that Play has terrible conections.My friends are often out of service.I don't know how reliable my informations are.Also Play has the cheapest phone calls but ppl from other companies will be paying more to call you (almost all phone companies are in war with Play) .I have Plus and I rarely have any troubles but from comparison I know it's usually not the cheapest solution.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]


I've changed my mind-I love that beer.Especially "Raciborskie Twierdzowe" but others are also delicious.Good choice Resident :)

News / Poland's Kaczynski blames Russia for brother's death [30]

As well as for floods,hurricanes and diseases.Germany is responsible for fires,eruption of the volcano and crimes.Nothing new.

News / Poland's Kaczynski blames Russia for brother's death [30]


You didn't know? Poor child :D I'm happy that I added to your knowledge :D
But serious-sometimes I feel sorry for Kaczyński. He must live in a very sad and lonely place.I can't imagine how it feels when you think everybody is your enemy and the truth(of course truth in his opinion) you tell is ignored and ridiculed.That must be hard.

News / Citizen-led Initiative on Abortion Law in Poland [50]

Absolutely against that project.And I really hope that it will fall in Sejm.

Life / Will Polish people be accepting that im only half polish? [63]

I don't really care if you come to Poland or not but...believe me-people usually have their own lives and problems and you being half Polish won't be high on their lists of things to worry about.I don't like your attitude "white ppl share European ancestry" but that's just me thinking that you should judge ppl for who they are and not because of other things.If you get beaten it would probably be because you will say something like that and not because you are half Polish.And another thing-how this skinheads will know you are half Polish?Do you suppose they are asking everybody if they are Polish and ask for proofs?Or you intend to make yourself a T-shirt mentioned earlier?

Travel / How welcoming is Poland for an American visitor? And great places to visit. [43]


Yes,the whole country :).But serious:
Kraków
Aushwitz(Very sad but also very important.One can learn a lot.)
Trójmiasto
Warszawa
Puszcza Białowieska
And a lot more.Look also on this forum,many ppl recommend places they visited.

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

You are Polish if...you give your guests master bedroom when they visit you

Language / Polish war cries/battle sayings [21]

First of all:
Bóg Honor Ojczyzna- God Honour Homeland
Bogurodzica:

Our whole national anthem is a battle song.
Right now I can't think of anything else

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]


But I would be very careful in using gun.In Poland many times courts stated that the self-defense was too strong e.g. when one person was attacked and killed the other person during the fight.Maybe not when someone entered the house but in street fight it happened for sure.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]

Yes,sometimes it's really sad.On the other hand you have to make some rules about self-defence.Sometimes ppl really go to far.
P.S. I'm certainly against legislation that would make it easier to own a gun.

Life / Poland has to pick a nation and accept 3 million people of that nation - who do you choose [59]

British or German
Btw-nice thread :)

Life / Poland has to pick a nation and accept 3 million people of that nation - who do you choose [59]

Good one :)

History / Defying Germaniztion in 1901 Polish boy writes 'German girls are ugly' [128]

I think that he heard it from his parents or other adults.Either way when you are oppressed you usually fight back and that's what this boy did.Maybe in stupid way but still.

History / Defying Germaniztion in 1901 Polish boy writes 'German girls are ugly' [128]


Even if he wrote it in a notebook for me it's still an act of protest.He didn't like what he saw and expressed it.


You really believe this?That all German girls had ugly personalities?I don't.

Life / You are Polish if... [433]

In my home it's not actually a master bedroom but bedroom with the most comfortable bed but that's the point-you give the best to your guests.

Love / Polish women USED TO BE much more attractive: [162]

Polish women USED TO BE much more attractive
If you are talking only about their size then ALL European women are less attractive.The whole world is getting less attractive. So I'm sorry but you will have to get used to the fact that you are surrounded by ugly women. So sad...

Love / Polish women USED TO BE much more attractive: [162]


And I think that women are attractive when they have "to coś",something special in their appearance. How is it that some women are not quite pretty but men are crazy about them? It doesn't have anything to do with size or fat percentage.

Love / Polish women USED TO BE much more attractive: [162]


That's obvious.


Calling someone fat is also a matter of taste-some ppl will call girl that weights 55 kg fat and some a girl that weights 77.


The "health" argument was also why ppl used to like bigger ppl-slim wasn't healthy.

Life / Why is Prostitution still legal in Poland? [106]

In my humble opinion prostitution should be legal.Even more-should be taxed(although it's hard to do) and the girls should take regular health check.Of course they should not be forced into prostitution,

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

I don't care if Poland is first or last in some researches.It's my homeland and for me it's the greatest country in the world.If that makes me ignorant then thats fine with me.However,I never said that other countries aren't as good as Poland and I never insulted other nationalities like the author of this thread did.

Hipis:
I wonder how many billions that takes out of the UK economy. Send them back, that's what I say. How dare they spend their money outside the UK?

Yeah,I definately think you should be the person to tell British what they should do with their money.(I still hope your post was ironic but I had to respond)

P.S. I don't know how you can measure someone's beauty so any researches on that are in my opinion worthless.

News / A Second Look at Poland's Future. [21]


Interesting.I didn't notice.


I live in Poland all my life and I still don't get what's your point


Excuse me?What the heck are you talking about?

Real Estate / Poland property ownership question - becoming a half owner of the house without marriage? [3]

From what I know you can-she has to go to notariusz and sign you as a second owner.You'll have to pay taxes and the house will be half yours.

Language / Help with the Polish plurals and describing of objects? [22]

I'm not suprised you're confused.
When you talk about dogs it's similar to russian:
One-pies,talerz,widelec
Two,three,four-psy,talerze,widelce
Five- psów,talerzy,widelców
I don't remember why it's that way but you have to just remember that there's a difference.


Numbers in Polish change according to gender.If the webside is any good you should have lesson about it


Pięć budynków


Not "są" but "jest"
Tam jest pięć budynków but:
Tam są trzy budynki - this is again connected to the difference one,two,three,four---five


Trzy budynki nie są zielone

News / Marion Barry insults Polish people calling them "Polacks" [33]

Oh,give it a break.MediaWatch is absolutely oversensitive.He is always looking for someone who insults Poland or "Polacks":D

News / Marion Barry insults Polish people calling them "Polacks" [33]


Of course you didin't but it's clear to me that he used word "Polacks" with no intention to offend so what's the big deal?Btw the word Polacks is clearly from word Polak so I don't know what the problem is.

Real Estate / Cousin stole my dads home in Poland... [49]

In my opinion there is no chance you're going to win.First of all-you're too late.It doesn't mean anything that she was mentally ill-you had your chance but you didn't fail the complaint.Second-I'm not sure about the ownership part-if she signed it off to your cousin's husband while she was alive I'm not sure if it's part of the heritage.And third-it's obvious you didn't have real relationship with her.Your dad's cousin can state that she took care of her and you're just a jackhal.

News / Does Polish hotel have right to turn down Americans and Israelis? [54]


Many countries have double prices.I don't know anything about hotels but i witnessed double prices for exhibitions and so on in other countries.I'm against it but that's how it is.As to the case of refusing the Americans and Israelis...I think the hotel owner have the right to choose his clients although I think he's a scumbag for making assumption about whole nationalities.

News / Does Polish hotel have right to turn down Americans and Israelis? [54]


Almost everywhere in Czech Republic and once or twice in Great Britain.I must admit I never witnessed anything like that in Germany.And I heard that in Russia it's also common.
