Love / The sexual lives of Polish immigrants (they have more sex than in Poland?) [16]

If these stories are true it must be Bumpkin Poles coming to the "Big City" for the first time. Blinded by the city lights.

Love / Polish girls don't go for one night stands, is it true? [56]


I said most, not all


I should have said Gaulish:

Love / Polish girls don't go for one night stands, is it true? [56]


Most women don't like one night stands.


Swiss are gaelic.

USA, Canada / Suggestions on how I can learn Polish? ( I live in Santa Cruz, but no Polish community in the area ) [8]

UK, Ireland / Calling all Brits! Travel in England advice [32]

There are two Englands, London and the English countryside. After you visit London, rent a car and take the B roads around England and stay in B&B's. Breakfast at the B&B, lunch or dinner at the local pub. Lovely. Oh, BTW which B&B to stay in? When you are ready to settle down for the night go to the local Government tourist shop and ask for a recommendation. This way you'll be assured a nice place (quality of B&B's vary greatly).

History / Time for Slavic Commonwealth around Poland as center [160]

Yeah, i've heard that excuse. If Poland focused on what's good for Poland they could become independent. Poland never would have been dominated by other countries if they would have had good governance.

Love / Why should I support my partners sister and boyfriend? [23]


nope, couldn't disagree more. First off this guy needs to lay off the the vodka. Secondly, he needs to kick them out of the apartment that he's sharing with his girl. Thirdly he needs to make the most of his relationship with his girl especially since she's having his kid. Yeah they're immature but aren't we all? If they give it a chance they can grow into their relationship and live happily ever after.

History / Time for Slavic Commonwealth around Poland as center [160]


If Poland was smart they'd get out of the Euro and become independent like Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, etc. You've been dominated for 250 years by Germany and Russia, maybe it's time to try something different.

USA, Canada / Moving back to Poland after 7 years in Canada [22]


You have to go where the jobs are try this: basinelectric.com/About_Us/Employment

Also if you have a US Passport, you should have tried this by now: usajobs.gov

USA, Canada / Moving back to Poland after 7 years in Canada [22]


That's a scam YOUTUBE demeaning formal education. There's a movement afoot trying to get people to quit going to school. They would like people to be uneducated, ignorant, poor and landless. This way you are much easier to politically control. But the fact is (statistics show) that people with college degrees have a much lower unemployment rate than people with high school diplomas.

Your education was not a waste. Ok, you took a job on a manufacturing line? Well you should look at using your degree to get promoted at your current company. Is that possible?

Love / I have a crush on my boyfriend's Polish friend ( advice needed ) [33]


No, he's got a girlfriend. Leave him at it. You're just obsessing over someone you don't know very well. Your relationship with your current boyfriend is a totally different situation and you have to see if you want to stay with him or not.

Life / Eating out in Poland, is it expensive? [28]

@chrison2wheels

If it was me I'd move to Greece. Great climate and nice people and food is pretty good. Thailand is politically unstable.

USA, Canada / Why are Polish restaurants not successful in the USA? [698]

America is a very different climate than Europe. A few years ago I was in England around Christmas time and my sister in law had us harvest some brussel sprouts out of the yard (it was late December or early January). In America you can't leave anything on the vine later than September or October. London has the same latitude of Central Canada and look how much more mild the climate is in England. Europe has a much more milder climate and longer growing season, that's why there veggies are so much fresher. In the States everything has to go in storage for the winter.

Love / Do I need to be Confirmed in order to get married in the Catholic church in Poland? [41]


Stay the heck out of the Church of Ancient Rome. Get married in the court, afterall marriage is a civil contract, that's why we have divorce COURTS!

UK, Ireland / British people more intelligent than the Poles? [53]


Germany has much more representation in the sciences because they've been politically much more stable than Poland. Poland has been occupied for about a quadzillion years which doesn't encourage research. Poles are intelligent, but it doesn't mean that they're right or they make the right decisions. They've had a difficult time governing themselves over the centuries. But that is no indicator of the populations' intelligence.

Work / Moving to Warsaw, teaching but hoping to deviate into business environment [16]

Polish women are tough, no doubt about it. English men must be mere putty in their hands. Unsuspecting for sure. Poor buggers.

UK, Ireland / British people more intelligent than the Poles? [53]


The English are highly literate but I don't know if that's an accurate measure of intelligence. Are they bright?

Travel / Trail of the Eagles' Nests (trail with 25 medieval castles between Kraków and Częstochowa) [8]

My experience seeing castles has been England and Greece. Maybe Poland's are different (I doubt it though).

When you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Real Estate / Prices of agricultural land in Poland [39]

Don't the Swiss banks mortgage a lot of property in Poland?

News / British teacher stabbed in Poland [116]



Get a grip everyone, no one deserves to die because they're at a loud party. Frickin ridiculous posts.

News / The EU's plans for Poland. [10]


Just cause you use coal doesn't mean you have to pollute. Coal can be liquified or gasified and the carbon dioxide captured. But instead of using its resources Poland chases nuclear energy (go figure).

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]


Yes, Poland bordering Germany and the fact that there is such a disparity in wealth between Germany and Poland. Women are attracted to large check books.

USA, Canada / If you moved from US to Poland, could you please share your experience? [16]


You're in New York.

Language / I need advice - how long does it take to learn Polish? [70]

Yes, the English are more discriminating. It reflects their culture. How Americans perceive the world reflects their cultural outlook (a lot of people from everywhere living together and because you don't know how your neighbor is going to react you play nice, stay optimistic and ignore the bad stuff. Kinda like Homer Simpson).

Can all posters please keep to the thread topic

Language / I need advice - how long does it take to learn Polish? [70]


If people are stupid or if they act stupid they are stupid. If people are nice or pretend to be nice they are nice.


Foreigners think that if you are trying to be nice you're insincere. Americans aren't insincere, they're just trying to get along.

Work / Wages in Poland - (Average monthly gross wages and salaries) [9]


How much of a percentage do you lose to get net?

Language / I need advice - how long does it take to learn Polish? [70]

True, customer service is an American thingy. Poles, they are abrupt. It's not good or bad, it's in their DNA. If a Pole has a hard time assimilating into American Culture that's the main reason.

Even Delph's replys accentuate the differences between American English and British English. The Brits are much more literal (I think that's the way to describe it) Americans are more conversational, so the Polish abruptness doesn't bother the British as much. American conversational mannerisms bother a lot of foreigners.

USA, Canada / Just got out of jail in California and met a young man of Polish ancestry whilst in prison [27]

Kid, lots of America is of Polish extraction. Quit hanging around those mexican bars. Move to Chicago, you'll fit in there.

Law / Married to a man from Poland, moved abroad - Polish citizenship? [14]


Just curious but it appears you dislike living in Switzerland. What don't you like about living in Switzerland? I mean Switzerland has to be one of the wealthiest European countries and Poland is one of the poorest.
