Law / Poles think that Germans are the hardest working in Europe... [30]

Interesting that Polish do not consider themselves to be hard working. As for corruption, looking at what is going on in some other countries, Poland is absolutely not the most corrupt, though there is corruption in it, of course.

Food / Your favourite Polish foods! [180]

@ gdyniaguy and teflecat

First of all I think I have a right to an opinion so keep your wigs on.

Secondly I am not discussing the high priced restaurants run by world known cooks where people can actually be bothered to make something nice and put some effort in. I am talking generally about food. To me, unless you mix it up and add a lot of foreign ingredients, British food is boring and stuff you get in the shops is often full of crap. Anyway I have heard foreigners talk about how great the food is in Poland. Honestly I never heard a person big up Britain for its great food. Oh and the weather, that is horribly bland and boring.

Food / Your favourite Polish foods! [180]

Oh pardon me I think that British food sucks and I prefer Polish food but I am told that it is wonderful so therefore my taste-buds must be wrong. My bad.

delph it is amazing just how much effort you want to try to prove me wrong? Sometimes I think that you must be jealous of me. Either that or you care about me a lot because almost every post I make is met with a post from you trying to correct me and get me to think more like you.

For the record I stand by what I say, British food sucks. I pick up an apple here and eat it, it's ok. I pick up an apple when on holiday in Poland and think 'oh so that is what an apple is supposed to taste like.' No comparison. I do not know why but the same food here just tastes worse than in Poland. It seems illogical but I dunno it could be the land is ruined and will no longer be able to produce nice tasting fruit and veg.

On a slight side-note I am definitely feel a lot of anti Polish sentiment from British people on this forums. Even in a topic on food you cannot give your own opinion, they immediately attack you and talk of how great their food is and how terrible Polish food is. Funny but this behaviour was to be predicted when it was known a lot of Polish people would be moving there when Poland got itself in to the EU but still is is slightly sad that some British people have signed up to this forum just to attack Poland over and over. I really do feel like saying, why do you care so much? I do not particularly care for some of the, what I consider, strange law in certain Arab countries, but do I sign up to a forum over there to attack people from there? Of course not. I do not care for Russia but again I have not signed up to one of the Russian forums to attack any Russians. Funny that it is considered so British to be tolerant and sensible and yet you make one comment and a British person sees it and goes 'ah that was by a Polish guy' and then starts to release verbal diarrhea on Poland and Polish people.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [853]

think it's probably because the Government wants to avoid a bitter row over what should be done with them.

Oh go on you can to much better than that. PO does not want the black boxes to avoid a row in parliament? Tell me this is a joke.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [853]

If Polish people do end up examining it then if they suggest nothing in particular, PiS will say they favour PO. If they say it might be the result of a bomb explosion, PO will say they favour PiS. So they need to be neutrals.

Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]

Nope I think where you are from has nothing to do with it. There are money grabbing women here, there and everywhere, and decent women too.

Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]

There are different types of summer clothing that women can wear and some of them are definitely more 'ehem' than others. I mean seriously some women like to show a lot of skin, almost as if they use summer as an excuse to show off their body. Their back, their boobs, most of their legs, their belly. You can wear less and still keep your dignity. I can provide you pictures of the difference in wearing ordinary summer clothing and some revealing summer clothing. Anyway if she wants to be revealing it is up to her but she should not be surprised if it draws male attention. I assume that is what she wants though.

Love / Are Polish Girls scared of English Guys [124]

I think a lot of Polish gals went to this country [before Poland was in the EU] thinking that it would be full of gentlemen like they saw in the movies, wearing suits, opening doors, living in big houses and holding up their little finger when they drink tea. Now a lot of them know that many of them are beer drinking, pie eating, foul smelling, 'show us your tits love' shouting, yobs. But that aside I think the culture difference is the main problem. You cannot escape the fact that their is a big difference in mentality and that is the key and the reason that generally people prefer to marry in to their own culture [with occasional exceptions].

News / Bieganski, the Brute Polak and Debbie Schlussel (about the Polonia) [19]

Actually gdyniaguy what I find funny is how your hatred of Polish people and Poland prevents you from using reason and logic, so far that you naively now consider Poland the only country in the world where people are patriotic, proud of their country and who they are, so they defend their country from attacks of foreigners, despite knowing in their heart that their nation has problems too.

I seriously have no clue why you live in Poland if you dislike it so much. I do not remember you ever talking about the nice qualities of Poland, you just ***** and moan. It reminds me of what Gary Neville said in response to Arshavin [A Russian footballer who play in England for those unfamiliar] constantly talking about how he does not like it in England and wants to leave. He said 'He doesn't like our food, he doesn't like our women, he doesn't like our weather. If he is so unhappy here then why not just go back to Russia. I feel that way about you.

News / Bieganski, the Brute Polak and Debbie Schlussel (about the Polonia) [19]

As for Debbie Schlussel. All I can say is, she is the female Gross, same ****, different *******. Where as there is truth in the fact that some Polish people did treat Jews badly during the war, just like Gross's book, the idea here is to create a negative stereotype and only talk about one side. When someone reads that book or one of her blog posts on Poland, they immediately think 'ah so this is what was really going on? No, this is what went on in some places, in others, Polish folks did a lot for the Jews and saved many lives while also risking their own. Anyway the main aim for Gross and Schlussel was the same, to promote themselves and their work and get rich.

Love / Are Polish girls open to foreigners? [78]

No, in general, Polish girls don't like foreign guys. They are brought up to believe that marriage should consist of a relationship between a white man and white woman, both Catholics, God-fearing and so on.

Nothing wrong with being a God fearing Catholic. They do not believe marriage should be a white man and a white woman, they believe their marriage should be with a white man since it is highly likely that if they marry a guy who is Polish, he is going to be white.

I suppose you are the type who thinks Poland should copy Britain and America? I believe somewhere in the USA it is legal to marry your own horse. That must be the right way to live I mean, it is the USA, they are modern, they are not ass backward like in Poland, so Poland should copy them.

Maybe in your village! Quite a few Polish girls are breaking of the 17th century village mentality and venturing out from the land of camoflage trousers!

Yeah 17th Century mentality. You really are trying so hard to be branded a jackass. You know what I find funny? [I laugh so as not to have to cry] I find it funny that you and many others from England and America [those 2 countries in particular] are still arrogant enough to think that the way you live over in those countries is the correct way. The laws in your countries are the correct laws and it is the duty of other countries who are stuck in the past to try to be more like you. What do you care if many girls from Poland want to marry a Polish Catholic [delph]? What do you care if Poland is a Catholic country? Do you know how many different countries there are? Do you know how many different cultures there are? There is a wide choice and if you dislike it where you are, move somewhere else [that reminds me you have still not explained, despite the question being asked numerous times, why you actually live in Poland if you dislike it so much]. Some Polish girls do leave Poland, they do not like the laws and the way of life there, so they leave. Others stay. That's what is so great, you can choose.

Well generally speaking yes it is frowned upon but people are different. Tell him and see his reaction. He might not mind [but then his family might never speak to him again].

Love / Are Polish girls open to foreigners? [78]

A lot of the ones who are open to foreigners are open to them for the wrong reason. If you go to Poland and make it obvious you are foreign, then suddenly get the attention of many girls, give it some thought as to why it has happened.

News / SUNDAY WITHOUT MASS IN POLAND - Judaeo-leftist Wyborcza gloats [165]

Some of us non-believers do actually do interesting stuff, like reading books (or writing them). Some are probably doing volunteer work today, with no hope of eternal reward

That is a very idealistic and naive view. Look around you, what do you see? Don't kid yourself. Most people are probably lying in bed now trying to shake off a hang over. The slightly older ones might go shopping.

UK, Ireland / British person entitled to see a GP in Poland at no charge? [10]

Here we go, another thread aimed at showing how good so many Polish people have it in Britain and how bad so many Brits have it in Poland. Seriously a country does not have to have the same laws as another country to make it fair for their people. I personally have thought for a long time that England is too lenient, tolerant and offers way too much. Only recently was it decided that to get citizenship you need to might have to actually know the language. Perhaps if England was stricter it would not have so many foreigners flooding in.

News / SUNDAY WITHOUT MASS IN POLAND - Judaeo-leftist Wyborcza gloats [165]

NorthMancPolak who says they are thinking for themselves? Perhaps Gazeta Wyborcza and friends are thinking for them and turning them away from Catholicism in the same way a pro Catholic media source tries to take people and convert/keep them. If someone turns Catholic you can use the same argument. 'Finally he/she is thinking and not listening to those atheists, finally he/she has seen the light.' Anyway it is not difficult to convince a person to turn away from religion, after all living a morally lawless life and doing whatever feels good sounds like a fantastic life, but it does not mean it is necessarily the right way to live. These days there is no honour or 'doing what's right.' These days what's right is whatever feels good, whatever suits me best and whatever I can get the most benefit out of. Shame really.

True we cannot know these types of figures for sure. I non believer might go, a believer might not go. At Christmas and Easter I assume the figure rises considerably. This is not a debate on the figures though but rather that the article by Gazeta Wyborcza is clearly stating this a positive to be proud of.

It's ironic when someone makes fun a person with faith and says they claim something they have no proof of, when they do they same. You have no proof in your disbeliefs of God and you have no proof that the Bible is full of fairy tales and yet you state it like it is a certainty when it is not.

To be honest to call yourself an agnostic is the most honest you can be, whether you are a believer or a non believer. You can lean more to one view, be an agnostic who thinks there is a God or be an agnostic who think there being a God is very unlikely, but an agnostic, i.e. someone who does not know, is what you really are, if you admit it or not.

Travel / Ryanair travel by air - subtle scams to be wary of [98]

As John said I have also never had a problem with time. Ryanair arrive on time and get to their destination on time as well [or earlier]. Yes they ass lots of extra costs on, such as baggage, but that is because the price of the ticket us usually very low. Easyjet is worse. I have seen lots of television programs about how poorly they treat customers when something goes wrong and they often have delays.

What about the Jews that protected and hid Jesus?! You know the people in the Last Supper

Oh you mean that handful of, what was there, 11 of them?

Only a couple of people at the Hierarchy of the temple would have wanted him gone

This is just plain wrong. The Jews did not want to kill him themselves as it was wrong for them to kill him. They wanted it to be done by someone else. When asked if he should be released they shouted to crucify him. There was a big crowd of them, not a couple of people in the Hierarchy. Trying to say now, the Jews had no problems with him, it was just a couple of psychos who wanted to see him tortured and crucified is just trying to pass the buck now.

But I do not really believe anything found in the New Testament.

But you believe what is found in the old one? Interesting. I wonder how you make your judgement about it. I wonder if there is any bias involved in this. Obviously I expect you to claim that there is not but to claim that one part of the Bible [the Jewish part] is fine but the Christian part is false just reeks of favouritism.

Could you explain it to me once more. Who is Jesus to a Jew, why was he crucified and who by exactly?

Oh come on genecps. Some of your posts are very much unlike your other posts. Some have a lot of detail in them and seem to be based on some sources while others are very anti Catholic agenda type. To say that is is a rule rather than an exception is madness. Oh what if some pedophiles are doctors, would you say that it is a normality that doctors are pedophiles? What if lawyers are pedophiles? Again would you generalise. Oh no but some of the Catholic priests were found to be pedo's and suddenly Catholicism is nothing but pedo's. It's an argument so stupid I don't even know where to being explaining just how flawed it is. There is just so much wrong with it. I prefer Catholicism than a Christian religion run in America by some average dude with a family who has made up his own Church and now wants to feel important.

And how exactly did Catholicism get started?

Jesus, you know him? Son of God, built the Church on one of his disciples and that is where it began. If you believe in Jesus and his disciples and what they stood for then surely the best religion to follow that is based on them is the one they officially started. It has gotten passed on from Pope to Pope who is supposed to be the modern day apostle. Although some people go for the one started by some dude or dudes in America, England or Russia who decided that some of the rules do not suit them so they altered it and decided they would be in charge.

Life / A taste of Polish mess [10]

I often hear on the news or from other people who have lived in Poland how badly so much stuff is organised there. Well recently we got a taste of the disorganised bullshit. We have Cyfrowy Polsat and had a message recently on the television that said that we have not paid for the last month so it is going to be shut off. We have a close friend of the family who pays in to an account every month [with money we give him] in Poland since officially the box is supposed to be used over there. He said that he was confused because he paid so he went over to the Polsat store to talk to them [since they blocked our satellite within a few days]. They told him that the reason we owed money was because as of a few days ago they added a few channels and now the monthly cost was more.

Apparently we had to opt out of the new package, that they force on you, by a certain date, and if we did not, then they would give us the new package and we would have to pay more. That is like buying sky in Britain with a tiny print on page 300 of the long terms and conditions packet that says, after every year you get your package upgraded to a more expensive one that you you have to phone up and opt out of.

Surely you should get to choose when and if you want to upgrade. Anyway our friend paid what we supposedly owed and informed them that we do not want the more expensive package but the one we had. They unblocked our channels. Now after just 1 day since this was 'straightened' out they keep on putting up a message on our TV screen [every 15 minutes or so] that we need to pay back the outstanding some, that our friend went and paid and supposedly sorted out. I constantly here ******** about the 'bałagan' in Poland, it gets tiring to listen to but I totally understand why people are mad.

Life / A taste of Polish mess [10]

Yeah we cannot make the call so our friend has to but it gets tiring. You have to fight for something you are supposed to be entitled to. When they finally sort it out you feel relieved that it is okay but you should not have had the problem in the first place. It's like having a homeless guy sleeping on your front door step. When you finally manage to get rid of him you're happy, then you realise 'What on earth was he doing on my front doorstep in the first place!!??'

As for TV, I often think the same, why bother having it since there is hardly anything decent on there and you can watch stuff on the internet now. I think TV licenses could be a dying breed, then again the same was said about newspapers when radio, TV and finally, the internet, appeared, and yet, they still make sales. Probably the comfort zone. Yeah you can read stuff online but there something about sitting back with a newspaper or book that is just more relaxing. It hurts your eyes less.
