Life / $3,000-$4,000 a month - would we have enough money to live in Poland? [273]

There's a lot of stuff on this forum about living in Poland, the most recent is "Why I moved back to Poland from Canada" by Aphrodisiac. She talks a lot about the living conditions in Poland. Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why.

There are others.

Life / $3,000-$4,000 a month - would we have enough money to live in Poland? [273]


Money probably isn't the problem. The problem is going to be your relationship with your wife, her relationship with her brothers, her relationship with her parents. The brothers probably don't want anything to do with the parents or don't help enough, etc., etc. It will all fall on your wife's shoulders. That's what daughters are for, looking after aged parents. Been there done that. Better off steering clear.

We have methane in our ground water also but it's attributed to shallow gas deposits. And as for drinking water contamination, try home filters. Everyone should have regardless.


No, Poland needs its own energy source.

Poland needs the energy. What's the consequences of depending on your supply of gas from Russia?

News / Poland's atheist loonies have had their 5 minutes [239]


Not to belabor the point but...Evangelicals don't know what they believe in. The central thesis of Christianity is charity and faith, the Roman Church emphasizes sacrifice and suffering. A Huge difference.

But those Russian Orthodox that you alluded to (in a previous post) like to say that there was no Protestant reformation in the Orthodox Church. If the Roman Church was Christian there wouldn't have been a Protestant Reformation.

News / Poland's atheist loonies have had their 5 minutes [239]


Christianity is principally about being nice to your neighbor. Roman Catholic Church isn't Christian, it's the religion of Ancient Rome founded by Emperor Constantine. That's why there was a Protestant Reformation. Read it's history.

Love / I was raised in Poland. My Family hates my wife because she's American ... [69]


Polish families are very controlling. Everyone who is raised in a Polish family has to go through this, the parents always emotionally blackmail their kids to get their way. I had to move away myself. Yeah, I miss where I grew up but a guys gotta grow up and get on with his life. Welcome to America.

News / Can Russia be a good partner for Poland? [42]

Too many competing interests. Poland needs to move on beyond Germany and Russia.

History / Polish flag over the Reichstag first? [399]


True but one battle doesn't make a war. The Soviet Army defeated Hitler's German war machine. They were defeated by the time of the 1944 Normandy invasion (yes, the weather helped).


They wouldn't be able to after losing huge Armies in Russia.

News / Polish Primate condemns EU's anti-Christianity [29]

They are the sneaky creeps. The Roman Catholic Church are masters at political deception. They hide behind the cloak of Jesus.

History / Polish flag over the Reichstag first? [399]


The German Army lost to the Russian Army. England and France did not have to declare war on Germany so soon. They should have waited longer for Germany to exhaust itself in Russia, afterall that's what happened eventually.

News / Can Russia be a good partner for Poland? [42]

Poland and Russia? Impossible! Poland and Russia have too many competing interests to be allies. Yes, the problem is they are neighbors! For instance, Poland needs natural gas. Poland would be better off buying nat gas from another country that has no competing interest with Poland (Norway). Poland should steer clear of Russia, nothing but trouble. Just look at history.

News / Polish Primate condemns EU's anti-Christianity [29]


The precursor to World Government is the Roman Catholic Church. The entire fascist movement (including Nazism) in 1930's Europe was intended to restore the Roman Catholic Church to Political Primacy that they had in Pre-Reformation Europe. The office of the Pope is modeled after the Roman Emperors, it is not modeled after Jesus Christ.

UK, Ireland / I worry about the Poles working in the UK [77]


What a laugh, "free market economy". It's not about free market economy, it's about lowering your labor costs to maximize profit. Unfortunately this business model doesn't work as it eventually destroys demand. The native Irish cannot compete with the immigrant Poles. The exchange rate alone between the zloty and the pound Sterling is enough to give the Pole a huge advantage.

Of course management with their million dollar salary's had nothing to do with the auto industry's demise. It was all those $25/hr shop workers.

Food / Is brain-damaging vegan fad growing in Poland? [176]

If people weren't meant to eat meat our digestive tracts would have prevented it, ya know like herbivores. It's been stated previously in this thread but Humans are omnivores which is so true. Vegetarians and vegans often times will load up on the carbohydrates as stated in Eurola's post due to their lack of protein. The problem with modern day diets is too many carbs in sugars and starches and not enough protein. Thus the incidence of obesity.

Hunting? If it's wrong to eat animals it's wrong to eat plants. A guy's gotta eat.

Yeah we can. If we can have 100,000 troops in Afghanistan and 50,000 in Iraq guarding their borders we can certainly have about 100,000 National Guardsman protecting our border.

It looks to me like the Poles don't want to get their butts shot. I Don't blame them.


Apparently the Dutch were very successful We should pull out and let the Dutch take over. AJ how about an Afghan holiday?


Defense of one's country is the responsibility of all the citizens and not just the ones who decided to volunteer.

Life / During winter in Poland, does petrol in the car freezes [60]

The washer fluid doesn't freeze on the window in winter, it won't freeze in your gas line.

Life / During winter in Poland, does petrol in the car freezes [60]


In WWII fighter planes, used water injection for extra boost. Water contains hydrogen and cools the charge preventing detonation. Water with alcohol will not freeze. Water injection units still sold today for cars. Check out SNOWS: snowperformance.net.

USA, Canada / Expat Poles swearing allegiance to the US - how did you feel? [157]


Well it's either that or being a "Subject of the Queen"

Life / During winter in Poland, does petrol in the car freezes [60]

Yeah, you can use hot water to unfreeze stuff but you have to wipe it dry so it doesn't refreeze.

to keep gas lines from freezing we use either ethanol or methanol, even if it has water it it. Alcohols are miscible with water. Ever heard of whiskey and water?

Life / During winter in Poland, does petrol in the car freezes [60]


In the Northern US we use ethanol or methanol to keep water in fuel from freezing in low spots in fuel line. So what you do in Poland is find the cheapest bottle of vodka that you can find and put about a pint in with every fill up (or window washer fluid should have methanol in it). This should work with either diesel or gasoline.

If the low spots have already frozen than the only thing to do is take the car to a heated garage and thaw it out.

When parking overnight in really cold conditions we also have engine block heaters that plug into an electrical outlet from your house. These keep the coolant warm overnight. Starting guaranteed with these block heaters.

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]


I summarized 600 years of European history in a small paragraph, try this:

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]


The information about the Roman Catholic Inquisition was released by the Polish Pope who apologized profusely in 1999, for the Inquisition.


There was no Inquisition in Poland. Because of the Inquisition Poland invited the Jews into Poland as a refuge. Read your history.

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]


It was the Roman Catholic Church.

After the fall of the Roman Empire they were two educated classes in Europe, the merchant class jews and the religious clerics of the Roman Church. The illiterate warlords of medieval Europe needed an educated class to handle the affairs of their fiefdoms. The Jews and Roman Church clerics competed for the jobs and power. In 1200 AD the roman church started the Inquisition, they killed and tortured any one who was a threat to their political power. They especially targeted the Jews. For 600 yrs. from 1200AD-1800AD the Roman Catholic Church ran Europe like a Nazi Concentration camp. Remember Galileo, under house arrest for 30 years barely escaping the death penalty for suggesting that the earth rotated around the sun? That was the inquisition. Napoleon and the Napoleonic wars put an end to the Inquisition. Since that time the RCC gradually lost political power and by approximately 1850 AD they were relegated to the Vatican. Ever since, they have been trying to regain their lost political position in Europe. Nazism was an attempt at their return to political preeminence in Europe. That's why the Jews were killed.
