Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]


Why is this a shock to you? You should realize that most people in the word don't live in Poland. Isn't being easily shocked a sign of imbecility?


Uh oh! Did you wet em' over this second and even bigger shock? That's okay.


Do my opinions seem strong to you? Maybe it's just that you are so paltry and weak.

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]

I'll pick a fight with any fool that crosses me, moderator or not.


What personal attacks have I made? I have had a creepy Scotsman make claims about my personal life and then immediately delete them and then had another creepy Brit qoute them and keep them posted, and the latter is supossed to be a moderator here! This place is ridiculous.

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]


What about the moderator Vincent? Should he be keeping delphiandomine's claims about my personal life posted after even delphiandomine himself deleted them? Oh wait is it that Vincent is Britsh and you wouldn't complain about a fellow Brit's asinine behavior? If so then you are sickening hypocrite.


And some moderators are too.

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]


Are you actually qualified to teach English in the UK? Isn't half of zero still zero?


I think your instincts are right in this case.

Off-Topic / Are you living in Poland? [77]


I find it strange that amongst some British posters, living in Poland, with no Polish blood, is that they cleave together like a pack of mangey curs, when posting on this forum, despite Britian's reputation for producing individualists. I guess the experience of living in Poland eliminates that admirable national characteristic in some British expatriates, or maybe they were conformist sheeple to begin with. It is unfortunate.

To answer the thread's query. No, I do not live in Poland. I am residing in the golden state of California where the weather is usually grand and lately the surf is almost always up!

Language / Good book with audio in Polish? [11]

Chi, here is a link to the audiobook Librivox library in Polish: librivox.org/list-translated-pages-polish/

One audiobook they have may be of particular interest to you because it is presented in both Polish and English. It is Adam Mickiewicz's "Sonnets from the Crimea"

History / Polish relation about Russians, Ukrainians? [281]

Indeed, the fact that some people take offense at hearing Poland placed in Eastern-Europe is really sad. They have bought into a stupid Orientalist stigma.

History / Poland's undying debt to Polonia [76]


But book learning is what a rustic lacks.
Why don't you answer the questions that Gregorz posed to you and that I reposted above? I suspect it is because you know that your position is absurd. It is quite possible, dare I say probable, that educated Polonians living abroad may be better informed about the nature of Polish history, and Polish culture, than some semi-educated foreigners living in Poland and teaching English. The latter may know more about the current weather in Poland and but so what?

History / Poland's undying debt to Polonia [76]

So, P3undone and 4 eigner, you two would answer yes to the following two questions Gregorz posed, or do "nuances" not include economics and foriegn policy? And if not what do they include and why are they important? Aren't you just mired in some romantic notion of "wisdom" being imparted from merely being present specific geographical locations?


What are your answers? Are you going to disparage book learnin' like some quaint rustics?

History / Poland's undying debt to Polonia [76]

P3undone,you are missing Grzegorz's point. He is pointing out the fact that an educated person that has studied a country's culture, history, government, etc. may actually be more informed regarding said country than some lesser educated people, even if the former isn't in said country and the latter are. You really should read his post more closely, it is quite well explained therein. You should also heed his admonition and stop fawning over presumptuous "experts" based merely upon their residency in Poland.

USA, Canada / Poles in Buffalo, NY [16]

Buffalo has a a huge Polonian population. A resident of Buffalo once told me that the city is practically run by Polish-Americans

Life / Is the 1st of November a work-free holiday in Poland? [12]


Indeed, I suspect that the aversion to holidays that some express above is the unfortunate result of Protestant brain washing. After all it was anger at the number of holy days, that they had to give their laborers off, that prompted the burghers to revolt against the Church 500 years ago.

History / Lusatia allied with Poland? [19]

No, German culture has survived as well as it could. It was good to see Poles getting land from Germans rather than the other way around. It is called payback and it can be a ***** if you used to be the oppressor. Go cry in your strudel, Fritz.

Well done Shawn. Your summary captures the very essence of this thread's trashing.


Indeed it is, but we shouldn't stay silent while this forum is turned into a hostile place for the very people it is meant to serve: Anglophonic Polonians.


Don't be giving such orders to any of the moderators, delphiandomine, they are all here to make sure people don't troll the forum.


Good.


I have made no such agreement with Vincent or any other moderator. I will continue to reply to your posts when I see fit to do so.


There is a glaring need for pgtx to get involved in this, and other threads, that are being trashed by th likes of delphiandomine and harry. This is an English language Polish discussion forum and threads like this one should be unsullied by an irrational hatred of Polish-Americans.


I would like to suggest hiring the Polish-American musician Dick Dale to work on the film's soundtrack. He has composed for other films in the past and surf music makes everything better!

Classifieds / D&D Group for Expats in Warsaw needs one more player... [69]


Truly your posts here tend to be woefully simplistic, but if you were really old-fashioned you would see the value that D&D has for its players. The game harkens back to a time of adventure before life became mechanized and dreary. Although I haven't played it since I was in junior high, I will always have fond memories of the escape it offered, and I also credit the game for teaching me methods of scholarship which would serve me well in my academic career.


It is the artificiality of modern life that D&D seeks an escape from. Looked at from the Heideggarian perspective of Being-Towards-Death most modern lives, and most modern deaths, are so very paltry. Whilst in D&D, life, and death, even the deaths of the most lowly characters, are very interesting. Even being "slain by an owl" is preferable to wasting away in a sterile hospital bed.


^Case in point regarding the paltriness of modern recreation.


You are not. Your blandness is utterly modern.

History / People the Soviets planted in Poland [75]


If you really find it hard to imagine why the murder of 160,000 Poles-- Poles with families that love them-- would be much of a loss for Poland, then your hatred has made you irrational and inhuman.


Mass-murder doesn't improve a country. People the Soviets have planted in Poland may believe otherwise, but they are wrong

USA, Canada / Polish-American Hollywood Celebrities Press Release [36]


Harry's use of creative spelling to bypass the forum's profanity filter is an example of the trolling that plagues this forum


delphiandomine, following harry's lead, and bringing vague allegations of anti-Semitism into the thread is yet another example of the trolling that plagues this forum.

How much longer will this forum accept this trolling?

USA, Canada / Polish-American Hollywood Celebrities Press Release [36]

Ah, the problems this forum has with certain posters flooding threads with off-topic posts and idiotic claims:

Harry just has to mention "beating up Jews" and delphiandomine has to stupidly claim that inspiring stories from Polish/American history aren't "real issues".

USA, Canada / Polish-American Hollywood Celebrities Press Release [36]

Attention goofballs, the OP calls on Polish-American celebrities to spread the word about the Kosciuszko Squadron, not because it was staffed with Polonians, but because Poles helped Americans throw off the yoke of British tyranny and the squadron is a beautiful example of Americans repaying the favor by helping the Poles fight off Soviet tyranny.

USA, Canada / Polish-American Hollywood Celebrities Press Release [36]

From the OP's link:


The Kosciuszko squadron by helping Poland fight off the abomination that was Soviet totalitarianism was repaying a debt that the USA had incurred to Poland when two of Poland's great warriors joined, and greatly helped, the valiant fighters of the American Revolution to throw off the abomination of English monarchical rule.

Wow I thought Harry's non-sequtor was idiotic but delphiandomine has trumped his mentor yet again! Am I wrong? What does the word for "grandmother" have to do with "Polish-American Celebrities Press release"?

USA, Canada / Polish-American Hollywood Celebrities Press Release [36]


This is a Polish discussion forum. Why the hell is Harry pushing English-American celebrities on here? Perhaps jealousy and an irrational hatred of Polonians prompts him to make this off-topic suggestion.


"After all" Hahahahahaha, what an idiotic non-sequitor! Attention Harry, mention of Polish-American celebrities need not be "countered" by mention of an English-American one.

History / People the Soviets planted in Poland [75]


Entertaining the though of commiting mass murder in Poland is very Hitlerian.

Life / Typical for the Poloniandists [171]


There are 11 million Polonians in the USA. Only a few thousand Polonians, in the USA, vote in Polish elections. Those that vote in Polish elections for PiS probably don't vote Democratic in American elections, but they are a tiny minority of American Polonians. Do you now understand now why there is no contradiction in the data showing that the most highly supported political party amongst American Polonians is the Democratic Party?

It is great to read all the Poles and Polonians on this thread defending Polonia against the bigoted bitterness of the non-Polish expatriates that are trying to bully Polonians here. The trolls have definately lost on this thread and Polonia is laughing at them! Hahahahahahahahahaha! Go suck an egg trolls!

USA, Canada / What kind of American food do Poles like most? [80]


All delicious, but, although many varieties of beans are native to the New World, there are also many varieties of beans that are native to the Old World, unlike tomatoes and chili peppers which were once exclusively New World aliments.


Turkey is foul, but potatoes can be good tasting if properly prepared.


Coffee is far too acidic. It is sad to see that this disgusting beverage is provided for free in so many workplaces.


A freshly made corn tortilla is unsurpassed amongst other starchy foods for deliciousness. Although the foodstuff is more properly referred to as maize. "Corn" means any sort of edible grain and it was a word, in English, long before the discovery of the New World and its maize.

"Busia" is a Polish term for "grandmother". Using this term is not all all indicative of moronism. Claiming otherwise is indicative of Grade A moronism.

Does anyone know the percentage of Lutherans in Polish Pomerania today?

Life / Do Poles drink before noon? [95]


What a stupid hyperbolic comparison. Do you not see that it is perfectly understandable that when that Polonians travel thousands of miles to meet their relatives in Poland it is a great event for the family involved and yes they may take off work and drink before noon to celebrate it?


Buildng a strawman and then condemning Polonians is stupid practice that is all too common for the bitter Western-European expatriates who post here.
