Life / How to Politely Refuse a Drink in Poland [72]

There seems to be a lot of confusion among the foraigners how to politely refuse a drink in Poland.I feel you guys since I myself hate vodka ( and I am a Pole) and can't do more than 2-3 shots without risking terrible conseqenses the next day(the only alcohol I can drink in large quatities without risking dying the next day is tequila).I went thru this many times and I can tell how to act at the Polish party. So here is how you do it.When first asked you say "Dziękuję nie piję".This will buy you some time though not much since they will not belive you just don't drink vodka.Soon you will be asked again to have a shot.Of course you still want to be polite so just repeat "Dziękuje nie pije".There will be a some nagging since everyone is a bit drunk already but in general soon you will be left alone.Not for long though.Few shots later someone will realize that your glass is empty and will become annoying trying to make you drinking.Remember that unlike you they indeed were drinking all that time so just say "Nie,nie naprawde nie pije".You will have to repeat it couple times since everyone is well drunk now but you should be fine.As the drinking continues and everyone become more or less trashed there will be someone pointing out the fact that you are the only one who is not drinking and will become very annoying trying to change it.Now,this time you DON'T say "Dziękuje nie pije" nor "Nie,nie pije" instead you say "NIE PIJE KURWA I CHUJ,ODPIERDOL SIE CZLOWIEKU." It works,good luck!

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [187]

Interesting read Convex.Still if that was up to me PAF would be flying Grippens.And hey,we need to add CIA "black site" in Kiejkuty to the list of favors regardless of what corrupted crooks (Kwaśniewski,Miller etc)say.

Good post but pointless since he will never get it.The level of propaganda in the US is simply unbeliveble.Many of them live in mobile homes and hoop around in 20 years old junk yet still belive they live "American dream" and are way better off than anybody living outside US.

History / What was better in Poland under communism? [67]

My parents also had private business and never had any idea to run away from PRL even though they traveled to western countries and could easily stay there.Ofc in 50ies it was not that sweet and you were oppressed if you wanted to be on your own,but it has changed in 70ies.You could run your own bussines but could hire no more than 15 workers.Calling PRL communist is kinda ignorant considering definition of communism.Only westerners call it communist but they have no clue what PRL was about.And hey, we did have western movies on public "communist" TV.

Get a life people.PRLwas NOT a communist country!Some people have had private bussineses and you could exchange złoty for USD or DM or bony PKO on the black market then go to Pewex or Baltona and buy whatever you needed to.I remember half a liter of Wyborowa was $1.50 in Pewex.My first computer (Atari 800 xl) was bought in pewex for $110 in 1986.You could buy western cars in Pol-Mot for "dewizy".And you could travel (if you had "dewizy"),sell stuff abroad, bring stuff to Poland and make money.There were 2 kinds of passports,1 valid only for socialist countries and the other for the rest of the world.I would NEVER leave Poland if it was still PRL. edit you were buying a "diesel" car and you never had problem with fuel.All you needed to do was to stop any trucker any he hooked you up with fuel.

Life / Why Polish people should be proud of being Polish? [370]

Poland have more citizens than Australia or Canada, not mention Czech Rep. or Netherlands but the all of those have much more significant achivements in culture and science than Poland.

What kind of achivements Australians have?Crocodille Dundee?They even needed a Pole to discover highest mountain in Australia coz they couldn't find it themselves.

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [187]

America today is the land of MTV, HIP HOP, DRUGS, DRIVE BY SHOOTINGS, CROOKED POLITICIANS, and FAT PEOPLE,and ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Some Americans watch MTV ,some don't,some like hip hip and some don't,I can assure you there are drugs in Poland too, "politicians in Poland are way more crooked than here,there are crimminals in every country and fat people are everywhere, here maybe 25% at the most,there are also legall aliens here.As much as I have mixed feelings about US I strongly disagree with painting all Americans with the same brush.It is simply not fair and ignorant.And true SOME Americans look down at Poles and try to put us down but on the other hand there is plenty of them who welcome us here with open arms.Just got back from Rite Aid and older women at the register hearing my accent asked where am I from.I said "I am from Poland",she said "Poland? God bless you."Also I will never forget young very nice women telling me that she is very sorry and apologizes if any American ever gave me hard time here because I am a foraigner.And I am not making up this stories.There is many great people here and painting all Americans with the same brush and bashing the whole nation because of few low life scumbags is just not right.

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [187]

Maybe you are taking about visa-waver, Wendy?

Please don't bring up this issue.This is simply embarassing.It is 2010 not 80ies or even 90ies.I was hoping that only dumb "Polish politicians" think that visa waiver is somehow important to Poles.I really don't who in his right mind would come to US and stay ilegally having opition to work and live in the EU.

I have a strong feeling that some Poles believe that we owe them something.

I guess some Poles do feel this way.I don't.But the truth is that Poland or some Poles did you guys few favors.To name a few:

Pułaski saved Washington and created US cavalry.
General Kościuszko helped you fight Brits.
Colonel Kukliński gave you war plans of Warsaw Pact.(Btw this mofo was a fuking traitor).
Polish intelligence agents rescued CIA agents in Iraq in 1990 before "Desert Storm".
Poland supported you in Iraq in 2003(at the great cost).Very few countries did.
Poland supports you in Afganistan (cost Polish people $1 bilion/year)
Poland bought F 16 ($6.5bilion just for the planes).Where is the the offset?
Poland allowed you to set up missile defence base (this s h i t is to defend US not Poland).
Still I don't think you guys owe us anything but if that was up to me Poland would cut all ties with US since Poland only gets f uked in this "friendly" relation.

USA, Canada / Poles and Americans, what do you think, are we friends or enemies? [187]

Like we abandoned the English? The French? Even enemies weren't abandoned.. The German? Japanese?

Then where have you been in 1939 when England and France declared war on Germany?You should know that US was supplying both sides of conflict up to 1941.I know that in 1939 US army was a joke with no tanks and air force was flying biplanes but your powerfull navy could help a lot.

No.. not really. Lot of our people died for France and England. What did we have to gain? We would have made money anyway as Europe strangled itself.

No,they died for US not for France or England.And you still made a killing since everything delivered to Great Britain and Soviet Union was paid for in gold.Couple years ago the Britsh made last payment for supplies delivered during WW2.

Absolutely. The Pacific war was our case but Europe, not really.

Yea right.GERMANY DECLARED WAR ON THE US not US on Germany.If they didn't do it you would be still on the sideline since there was no public support in the US to enter the war.

Besides after finishing in Europe,Germans 3 times stronger and with technologies you had no clue about (e.g jet and rocket engines)would attack US anyway.So don't tell me you did England and France any favor.

Europeans, you need to remember that in American schools they don't teach them history,they teach them how America saved the world.Therefore any discussion regarding WW2 with 90% of Americans is pointless since they don't know the facts but propaganda.

Love / Do African or Afro- American women find Polish men attractive? [179]

Relax,nobody here takes him seriously.After all he is a just a Greek.Now, what is Greece?A pile of freaking rocks and some ancient ruins,that's all.This goat herder should be greatfull they are about to get euros 1bilion handout from Poland (which I btw strongly oppose).They should be kicked out of EU and go back to goat herding which is what they do the best,aside from cheating and lying in their financial statements.
