if i am fortunate enough to live a long live i would like to spend it with some one worth while

The best person for that is unlikely to be

partying in Amsterdam

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

warszawski
Spot on. Very sound advice.

I'd add that he should keep at least one flat in reserve even when he's chosen the one he wants. The landlord would have no qualms about doing the same with tenants. This is insurance agaist the time honoured Polish tradition of the landlord waiting until the tenant is packed and ready to move than putting the price up.

do you guys think that she thought she would be able to sell the apartment to the Americans instead of renting?

I suspect she's hoping they'll come across as desperate and beg her to rent, of course for more money, or she'll turn around in two days and say she might be prepared to if the price is 'right'.

So you think you'll find the ideal woman in a dive in Amsterdam, where by your own admission, the women are:

driven by money

escorts/escorting

Very practical.

Language / "Niewyróżniający się" [5]

No worries - you'll notice that PGTX's and my answers are pretty similar, but there isn't an exact cognate since the best answer depends on the context. Wyroznic is about telling the difference between things. Niewyróżniający się means that you can't really tell the difference between it and something similar. I like PGTX's 'unremarkable'. Think of an indifferent restaurant meal.

Because it's an unanswerable question.

everyone knows that if you want to party in holland you have to go to amsterdam

That depends a lot on what you mean by "to party"...

UK, Ireland / Wedding with a Polish girl. I need to see the magistrate? [5]

It wasn't long ago that the reverse was true - for a while they wouldn't accept embassy ones. You need to contact the consular section of the embassy. Phone them rather than email (or you'll be waiting until Christmas for a reply) and find out the latest situation. They are used to the requirements changing.

Let us know what they say - it could be useful for somebody.

News / POLES FEEL LIKE JEWS HAVE TOO MUCH CONTROL IN POLAND - TRUE? [209]

Nietzsche did not believe there was only one single "master race" but rather there have been groups of people that followed either "master morality" or "slave morality."

Very much so. Barking mad, unfortunately.

post #81

You probably haven't read very much Nietsche - I suggest an introductory course at your local community college - it may help you understand it from a Frankean perspective.

East European obsession with the Jews.

Absolute obsession.

A few anti-Semitic posters on this forum

A few??

everyone knows what partying means

People lead very different lives - enlighten us as to your definition of partying.

You shouldn't worry about being an intellectual lightweight - Nietsche is beyond a lot of people. Get someone to explain his views on different cultures to you, and perhaps find someone to explain the dialectic between his ideas and Spenglerian materialism.

Language / Polish Language classes - what do your lessons look like? [21]

I know what you mean - I have the same if I write in Polish. The grammar may be OK, but a Polish person wouldn't neccessarily say it the same way! It doesn't mean it's a mistake - just transference from one way of speaking to another.

yes, night clubs! when i said polish/ eastern european girls that offer themselfs for money. it wasnt just red light districts i was describing. you get approached by these women in all the night clubs there.

These probably aren't typical of women in Poland. Why not come to Warsaw? You'll meet a different class of Polka!

is warsaw better than krakow? are the people there accepting towards foreigners?

Krakow has a lot of visiting tourists. People also say it's a bit of a closed city - you can live there for years and not really be accepted as a local. Warsaw is very cosmopolitan. Krakow's OK, but I prefer Warsaw.

Language / Free Polish Lessons On-line, looking for websites? [14]

Lesson to remember: People are not dumb.

Exactly. One person having a 'conversation' with themself to promote a business like glossa which sounds increasingly dodgy!!

Life / Are there aliens already in Poland? What do Polish people think about extraterrestrials? [34]

How come Polish are not into Aliens? Everyone else seems to be.

There's always the Jelenia Góra incident...

Seriously, the odds of any alien species being at a similar enough evolutionary level that they could communicate with us, much less have anything to say, is smaller than winning the lottery if you only buy one ticket in your life then put it through the washing machine.

The Jelenia Góra incident
alfredolissoni.net/pol3.htm

I was reading a while ago about the Kardashev scale, and the Omega Point, the moment in time when life (so far ahead we can't talk about humans) have got to know everything that can be known and done everything that can be done. What happens then? And if time is relative, isn't it already there?

I think we do, I have seen the photos of the radiation from the edge of the universe.

So distant! String theory is one of the oddest things - how our 4 dimensions are bound to something called the M-brane (which apparently is black - how do they know?) and gravitons are the dead tips of something from outside. Hawking is right, the Universe is not only stranger than we know, but stranger than we can know...

Law / Question on allegro.pl. Have I actually paid? [5]

Yes. You need to make a bank transfer or another form of payment. Allegro.pl has a function whereby you can contact the seller. You need to ask for his or her bank details.
