Po polsku / Dlaczego uczysz się Polskiego? [101]
Wydaje się,że takie zachowanie było dosyć częste,zwlaszcza w dawniejszych czasach.Zresztą w mojej rodzinie też polski kuleje-moje kuzynki wyjechały do Niemiec jako dziewczynki,ale mówiły po polsku(młodsza z pewnymi problemami),ale nie uczą swoich dzieci języka.Najstarsza córka jeszcze rozumie dość dużo po polsku,ale młodsze dzieci bedą znały tylko pojedyncze słowa.Szkoda.I nie chodzi tu nawet o to,że nie znają POLSKIEGO :),ale o to,że każdy dodatkowy język to świetna szansa.

Travel / Health Insurance in Poland for EU citizens for a travel trip? [7]
I don't know how it works this way but when I visited Germany I went to local NFZ and applied for european health card.I didn't need to-if I had to use medical help without that card I would probably had to pay then take all documents and go to NFZ and ask them to pay me back-it's longer and annyoing.I applied for the card(one day affair in Rybnik) but I never had to use it.

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]
Of course not.It would be stupid.Some ppl hurt my family but they are probably dead now.Why should I hate the whole nation for the doings of a few ,probably desperate, ppl.I don't want to say that it was all right to kill that young boy but the whole nation has nothing to do with it.Although I can understand that some wounds are too deep to heal and old ppl have the right to feel anger for what they expirienced.
It was careless but does it justify murder?
Does this effect what you think of the Ukrainian people today? Just curious.

For me, in the first period, it's just a cell.Every month I'm throwing out something that someday may be a human being.
That's right and what about the women right not to be killed during childbirth?
Women cannot decide.The governmenty does-in some situations.Why should the life on unborn child was more important than the life of the mother?
To some extend.Example with blood transfusion is pretty good.
Even the pro-abortion side has put aside the argument that it isn't the killing of human life

Is it really so important?Put your spices where you want them to be.And if it's really so "of course" give me one logical reason for putting salt and pepper in the pots you said they should be in.
Some ppl really say badmington but that's incorrect.It's simple error.
Don't be ridiculous.

It is one of those crazy Polish things where they get the wrong end of the stick and then suddenly 4 million people are saying that is the right end of the stick. Like 'Babington'

I never heard that one.
That's stupid and the only explanation I can think of is low self-esteem.When they feel challenged they will defend their point fiercly.
P.S.I edited my earlier post:
what, like saying 'tonnis' instead of 'tennis'?
I never heard that one.
Ok, simple error - so then when someone says 'oops - sorry - not right' - you say 'oops - sorry - yes' - not 'NO, I AM ABSOLUTELY RIGHT AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. WHAT, YOU RECKON YOU KNOW JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A (sneeringly said) 'NATIVE' ENGLISH SPEAKER???'.

If you don't want others to do it--then do something to regulate the import from other countries to Poland.
