Life / What is wrong with Poznan? [197]

Translators

Why should any healthcare system provide interpreters for foreign employees/students, simply to allow them to communicate with its clients in their own language? It would be far more reasonable to expect the employee/student to speak the language required.

Life / What is wrong with Poznan? [197]

I was just venting after almost being run over by a car for the 100th time at the same intersection I cross every day.

I can guarantee that I have not been "almost run over" by a car that many times in my entire life.

Something tells me it's not Poznan's traffic lights or drivers which are the problem... :p

oh so you lived in Brixton? ..;)

Nah, he can't have - ya dun kno you can't try a ting like that and get away with it in South :D

Life / What is wrong with Poznan? [197]

Seems terribly rude not to learn some of the language of the country, even if not to fluency - how difficult is it to obtain a passing knowledge of a language?

Anyone who can learn to program a DVD recorder can learn a few basic phrases of any language. Both take time and effort - but many don't want to "waste" the former (read: lose valuable drinking time) and don't want to bother with the latter (better known as laziness).

People laughed at me for learning some basic Cantonese, because "everyone speaks English in HK" (not true - it's more like 40%), but it's useful at the night markets and in local shops. I can't imagine being in a country for more than a few days without bothering to learn even the most basic of daily phrases.

Exactly.

Medical students have far to much important material to commit to memory rather than to waste their time learning Polish. Would you rather know how to speak Polish or recognize the signs and symptoms of a myocardial infarction?

Part of a medical examination involves taking a history from the patient. Any doctor (or other qualified healthcare practitioner) knows that the diagnosis often comes out of the patient's mouth. How on earth do you manage to take a history if you do not understand a nation's official (or de facto official) language?

I welcome comments to this post because in my opinion no other city in Poland has citizens with such undeserved pride in their city.

History / Lithuanians hate Poles? [156]

in that case, my Lithuanian ex must have belonged to the 49%, as dating a Pole goes slightly beyond simply living next door :)

Actually not. Only one in three Poles has negative feelings for Russians.

I'd say that this reflects the reality very well, except that I'm surprised at the 22% figure for Roma - I'm surprised they found so many respondents with a positive attitude towards them.

While I will admit to hearing the occasional positive comment about blacks and Asians from Poles, I have never heard a Pole say anything positive about the Roma.

let us see how the thread develops

One does not need to be a psychic to guess how this will turn out ;) A S*rbian thread, or a J*w C*nspiracy thread, as always (insert imaginary "rolleyes" avatar here).

UK, Ireland / Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [128]

In Poland if somebody had neighbours like that they would not hesitate to do everything they could to have them evicted.

Unfortunately, in some parts of this country, it's not quite so simple, because it depends on what kind of neighbours you have. Some will accept the warning, but others will set fire to your house, or stab you up for complaining - and I imagine that this is far more likely to happen over here than in Poland.

Life / Babcia or Busha - any social class difference? [359]

I don't remember anyone saying on PF that "babusia" is not used in Polish. But "busia" really is not. Also, the Kashubian info is very interesting, but has no direct bearing on the discussion, as Kashubian is not a dialect of Polish, but a separate language.

Exactly.

I'd never seen or heard words like "busia" or "golumpki" outside this forum; you would never hear them used over here, because we are taught correct Polish by our parents.

I may know words like hantuch and godka, which are used in certain parts of Poland, but it doesn't mean that they are truly Polish words.

Love / What are Polish Women like? Just started to date one. [256]

ffs Southern, i do not mean to be offensive, but round here you would get called a 'paki' as well.....
give it a rest.

I hadn't really met that many Greeks or Turks until I started working in Lewisham (back in the mid-90s). I remember upsetting a few of the Greeks by mistaking them for Turks lol. southern will always be in denial about this similarity, though. Probably because it was easier to tell the difference between Greek and Turkish women - the Turkish women were way more attractive. He brings sex into everything, so I suspect that sexual jealousy is part of his problem :D

Unfortunately, southern's like a broken record when it comes to Polish women as well. Always the same old stereotypes, about the same limited group of women. When I compare his statements about Polish women to my experience, I often wonder if he's even talking about people from the same continent, never mind the same country.

Love / What do Asian boys think about Polish girls? :) (and vice versa) [150]

To quote tennis star Serena Williams, "'a white man is the only real choice for a successful black female".

:D

I remember asking a black girl from Birmingham (UK) some years ago, about why there seemed to be so many black women with white men in the city, and she replied "because most of our men are in jail, and the rest are more interested in hanging out with the mandem than staying at home with us". :D

The vast majority of those white guys who get married to Asian women are middle aged, divorced bums who had no other options .

He may not necessarily have been talking about old expats looking for Thai brides, but about local men who date local Asian women.

Perhaps the women had few other options themselves? Thailand is hardly known for being full of well-paid people. Or maybe your real problem is that you see similarities between Polish women's behaviour, and the behaviour of Thai women (who you probably consider inferior to Poles)? You are also sadly mistaken if you think that Western men only date Asian women because they are losers, which also emphasises your misguided superiority. But then, you seem to be sadly mistaken about most things. How's things in the aviation world, by the way? :p

Each to their own, though. I'd choose Sienna Miller (I could watch that Boss Orange advert all day, omg) or Monica Bellucci (the definition of MILF, bar none) over any of the identikit "DNKY"* bag-carrying Polish girls which most guys on here are obsessed with. No doubt some idiot will be along soon to claim that the former is "ugly and Germanic", and the latter is "part-African like Sicilians" or some other PF-style trash, but I'll risk it :D

Back on topic, though: this is just another one of those boring threads which, like the Balkan garbage, really ought to be merged into a generic "Polish women's preferences in men" thread :)

* deliberate typo ;)

Life / The rise of ' Generation rent ' in Poland. [26]

Some dreams are not to be done after some age. Young person can travel freely but when the baby arrives a couple is bounded to one place for several years. Enjoy your life till you can.

Not everyone has children, or wants them. Besides, who says you can't move with the children? My parents did - several times.

I didn't fly for the first time until I was over 35; I've now flown around 70 times. I know someone who became a techno party DJ in his early 40s (he's around 60 now, and still plays out occasionally). I was a property owner at 19, but a flatsharing tenant at 38 .

If you want to be stuck in the 1950s and live like your parents, then feel free, but life's not as straightforward and regimented as it used to be (and I'm glad it isn't).

Life / Why is Polish Christmas on the 24th? [87]

I suppose that this demonstrates the difference between Polish-Americans and British people of Polish origin.

It seems that once Poles in the USA have been there a while, they forget their culture, or create some fake form of it; let's face it, the "Polish Dog" is just the Pol-Am equivalent of "Singapore Fried Noodles" :) Mind you, this does appear to be the "American Way" - remember that episode of The Sopranos, when the oh-so "Italian-American" characters went to Italy and needed interpreters?? lol :D

It's over 65 years since the first member of my family arrived in this country, yet I am able to pass on the language and the culture to any children or grandchildren I may have.

In the UK, Polish people can be divided into two groups. The first group consists of those who maintain the language and culture and pass it on to their children. These people tend to object to being called English/Welsh etc, but accept being called British. Christmas means a traditional Polish Christmas Eve, not an English Christmas Day. Church means the local Polish church, if it is within a reasonable travelling distance. English may become the primary language, but Polish is spoken at every opportunity.

The other group are those who never bothered with anything Polish, and exclusively refer to themselves as English/British, etc. They will, however, admit to having Polish ancestry, if the subject arises. Christmas means an English Christmas Day, not a Polish Christmas Eve. The local English church is attended, if at all.

What you will not find over here is people claiming to be Polish, but who can't speak a word of the language, have nothing to do with the culture, and will never bother visiting Poland. This latter category appears to describe the American "Polacks" which are often discussed/derided on here.

I'm proud to say that I'm in the first category.

There are many Polish American's in America. But the culture and language all but disappeared

They have only themselves to blame, but if that's what they chose, there's not a lot that any of us can do about it. I do feel sorry for Pol-Ams in a way, though - even I've got a heart ;) I can travel to Poland entirely by train, yet Americans have to fly thousands of miles, so it's not quite as easy to maintain contact with the old country.

Mind you, Chinese and Indians seem to manage, so my sympathy is limited :D

Love / Polish men calling polish girl for dating englishman [80]

As a native speaker of English, I can confirm this is actually English. Try reading "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac for an alternative take on the English language. It may broaden your understanding of a very complicated language, few master, including me.

That may well be the case. However, I've already explained why the title is ungrammatical, and why I suspect that the OP may not necessarily be a native speaker. I may be wrong, but I am right to suspect this. I'm not going to repeat my previous posts. I believe that my understanding of English is already more than adequate, but thanks all the same.

Whenever I see a post made by a prospective "English teacher", it never ceases to amaze me just how bad their grammar or spelling is. The standard of English demonstrated by Polish natives like JustysiaS bring complete and utter shame upon these guys!

Are you teachers by any chance?

Well, I do hold a teaching qualification, and I teach occasionally as part of my job. But I am not, have never claimed to be, and do not intend ever becoming a teacher. Especially not a teacher of English. I have never claimed to have "mastered" English (or Polish), either, and I know that my English is not perfect.

Anyway, this is off-topic, so I'm keeping off this thread from now on.

I imagine that most only really consider their relatives and friends abroad, and not anyone else.

Life / Why is Polish Christmas on the 24th? [87]

Sadly some of us can't be partying until gone four o'clock in the morning on a Wednesday night: we have these things called 'jobs'.

Exactly. I have a job which didn't (and couldn't) even exist 100 years ago, and I can't drink between the 25th and the 30th because of this. While everyone else parties, some of us have to remain clear-headed to make life better for everyone else. It's 2011, not 1511; times change, and hundreds of thousands of us can't just stay in and drink for three days ;)

No doubt traditional for Ukrainians abroad.

In the USA, no doubt :D

Life / Does Polish society accept new people especially those not from Poland [41]

drinking on the job is a no no and rightly so in my view purely on health and safety ground not to mention the imagine it sends out

Everyone who knows anything about Poland knows that there is still a culture which accepts this. Yet when I once dared to mention on here that I had witnessed a group of guys drinking before setting off for work, the keyboard warriors appeared, to try and make me look like I was some anti-Polish racist foreigner or something. You only need to smell people on trams before 0700 to learn that it's the truth. It doesn't mean that everyone drinks at or on the way to work, but it's much more common than over here.

the woman serving me was about as unfriendly as you could get, other customers behind me totally shut up...and basically i felt really embarrassed.

Less likely to happen in major cities and large towns, but I'm sure it would happen to me if I went into a shop in a small Cornish village as well. Polish villages and small towns aren't really used to foreigners. I think that far worse would happen if I opened my mouth in a taxi queue in some small Midlands town on a Saturday night.

Unfortunately, I think you just ended up in a local sklep for local Polacy lol :D

Life / Poles hard working or just born lazy. [58]

If I could earn £150 000 a year for cleaning floors or serving coffee in a foreign country, instead of working there in my current profession, then I would be straight over there.

Even if 80% went on tax and living costs, it would still leave me enough to put down a huge deposit on a house over here, after just two years of work. Sounds familiar? ;)

It's hardly surprising that Polish immigrants "work hard" and tolerate poor living conditions, if they can earn 4-5x what they earn in Poland, simply by doing minimum wage jobs over here. I've worked for over a quarter of a century, and I would not single out any particular ethnicity or nationality as being the most hard working or laziest. There are plenty of lazy Poles, and plenty of hard-working English.

Life / The Adult Entertainment Industry in Poland? [67]

He does have a point.

It pains me to admit it, but he does.

However, you must remember that this is the guy who said that "Polish women won't be attractive until they're mixed race" and also stated that "white women should be REQUIRED to marry black men" - as a marriage isn't legally a marriage until it's consummated, he's effectively encouraging black men to have sex with white women against their will.

He also can't wait until the world is more mixed, which effectively means he can't wait until there are fewer whites. That's as racist as saying "the world would be a much better place if there weren't any blacks", so he can't be taken seriously. Even the mods have noticed that he is trolling. Simon Mol ffs!!

I never said ALL Polish women don't like black men; I said MOST. Everyone knows that some Polish women will go with blacks. But very few do, even over here.

But who is the best judge, anyway?

Someone like me, who has associated with a wide variety of Polish people for four decades?

Or a South African prnographer with an anti-Polish/pro-Black agenda? Especially as he probably wasn't even born when I first started dating Polish women.

I have to back you up on that. You are in your la-la land!
Majority of Polish women are not interested in black men. And some are very open about the fact they do not like fooking niggers(funny hearing that form a cute blond thing)!

Exactly.

Do you believe every English native writes perfect English? Not saying your theory is wrong, you may well be correct.

Of course not, but English natives tend to make different mistakes to foreigners: e.g., "you should of known their not going to pay up" shows the kind of mistakes an English person would make, but missing out indefinite articles is the kind of mistake a Pole would make. ;)

Anyway, this is going off-topic now, so I shall warn myself (minus the red text, lol) :D

"Calling Polish girl names" is just the sort of mistake a Pole would make if their command of English is not fluent. Like "I want cup of tea please". It's a dead giveaway. There are several errors in the first post as well:

i would pop to her work in my Jeep and then she asked to come in the car but has now asked me not to attended at all.

You are correct, but the OP wasn't - he didn't apply the translation correctly.

The title should be something like "Polish men who call a Polish girl names for dating an Englishman".

He claims to be English, but he appears to have translated the title like a foreigner would.

Polish WomenToday, 03:38

EM_Wave
"Member Hi, many Polish women have told me they can't stand Polish men so they prefer to have sex with foreign men. They particularly like Middle Eastern men and African men because they enjoy their schlongs deep inside them and they like it when they shoot their loads inside to impregnate them.

lol.

This sounds like something a prnographer would write, and not something the average Polish woman would say.

EM-Wave probably makes films where white women act out fantasies of being attacked and raped by "ghetto" blacks, and of course they "love it". Yeah right... just what every white woman wants: to be raped by black "gangstas". Pull the other one!

EM_Wave

The Polish women I've met say they prefer foreign men because Polish men are ugly and they have small dicks. What is your opinion on this?"

The vast majority of Polish women do NOT like black men, and some are very open about the fact that they do not like them. The opinions of Polish-American prn "stars" don't really count as the opinion of Polish women in general. It's not racist, it's a preference - just like most black women won't date whites.

And just because a few 16-25 year-old immigrant blachary have fallen for the "cool black gangsta" image presented by MTV, doesn't mean that the majority of Polish women have. In case you haven't noticed, the VAST MAJORITY of Polish women have Polish (or white) partners, and this is unlikely to change significantly any time soon.

And all the Polish women I've dated (and are open enough to discuss the subject) had NO complaints about the size of Polish men. Who does he think we are, Indians?? lol

EM_Wave why do i think you are only posting this as a wind up ?

You've only just noticed that he's trolling? ;)
