Love / I love my Polish girl! Wanted to share my story. [55]

Why can't she rent out her apartment in Warsaw? You're probably committing not only to support her, but her apartment in Poland as well. And whatever other obligations she might have there...

And you worry about her feeling bad about it. You are so sweet. I hope she really loves you.

Language / 'ucha' [23]

to me, most of the time it does add a slight derogatory slant.
for example:
stara - starucha
does not mean a big old lady, just not a nice old lady. Staruszka implies a nice old lady. Polish dimunitives imply affection.

I guess -ucha it would be an opposite of dimunitive.. whatever that word is.

Love / Is she genuine? - I would like some advice please re a Polish girl. [130]

she's giving him a number to dial her Polish cell from his UK one, and that thread supports it. You supposed to dial 00, and 485 sounds about right for Polish cell. I don't understand your point, I guess.

Life / Beggers namely Kurwa boys in Poland [70]

on vacation in Barbados, there was this group of locals hiding in the bushes by the inn's parking lot. One guy in particular would jump out when I was coming home at night, trying to sell me weed. After couple days of this, I offered him some money if he promised that him and his buddies will stop scaring the beejezus out of me for the rest of my stay there. Everybody said I should complain, call cops, giving money would only make it worse... But it worked! I think it cost me $10. The guy sent an incredible artist so see me too, that was nice. So sometimes paying a little protection works, but the terms have to be worked out beforehand (and assuming of course that we're not dealing with a complete retard, which unfortunately happens a lot too).

That was an excellent exchange between convex and Socrates about Polish workers.
They are both right, and their debate is a perfect example that one should not generalize. It's seldom just black or white.

Food / Burgers, why not in Poland? [54]


Good God!

Also, if you're afraid to eat burgers because you don't know what's in it, you must stay away from sausage as well.

Food / Is carp indigenous to Israel? [39]

BTW, Asian carp DNA was found in water sample of Chicago river (no sighting of the fish tho, they say) and now 'authorities' in charge of these matters are panicking and proposing closing off some important waterway??

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

During communism Poles were educated about the evils of racism. It was a perfect opportunity to show how capitalist America was treating their oppressed descendants of slaves.

I don't think you can generalize when it comes to Poles and racism. We have both extremes. Many are incredibly open, constantly trying to prove it (to the fault sometimes), and many are so hateful, as if seeing somebody of a different color is a sure sign of imminent Tatar invasion.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

"...showed that Poland, with its strong nationalist traditions and a civil society, especially the Church, that had never been fully repressed, was the weakest element in the Eastern Bloc."

Sweet!

I would suggest asian carp fishing tournaments, some recipes (smoked mullet, another bottom feeder is a popular in FL) and maybe cat food manufacturers' interest?

telling these girls that wearing condom with a black man is a sign of racism - that is really, really wicked.
I wonder if he realized, or cared, how much that hurt his supposed cause of anti-racism in Poland.
