Love / Fresh, wholesome country lass in Poland - getting married and going back to the US [167]

Let give a floor to married women here, so far only one of the kind has spoken.

Alright Iron give me 10 years, and I'll come back and answer this again.... :P

but that does not change the defintion of innocence.

I don't think that someone who has slept before her marriage has long innocence. I mean its hard to find girls like this, I surely don't know many. I just think times are changing and with all the pressure out their I understand why someone would not wait until marriage to have sex. I think sleeping with random guys every night isn't smart but I don't think sleeping with a boyfriend after dating them for 2 years is losing your innocence. On that note how many guys are still even Innocent??????

Well can you blame them? If they behave like a commodity and a piece of meant?

Really Iron???? I would have expected more from you.

Ok, I as a Polish woman feel quite disguasted. The description sounds more like he's looking for a piece of meat and not inteligent women that would become his companion. And the age limit...What is it- he is ok at 50 but the girl is too old if she turned 30? Sorry Polonius- I would like to be more helpful but I can't see how any sound women would be tempted by this "add"

Thank YOU LENKA +10

Men who treat women as if they were products of various brand names: "Polish", "American", "Russian" etc. and comparing their "quality", will never find a sincere love because all they want is to "purchase a product". It's highly disrespectful for women and no self-respecting woman will fall for that!

AGREE

Now personally I find this WHOLE post completely Degrading to be a women. I'm sorry he makes $50,000 HAHA big whoop buddy, that's nothing, and trying to go abroad to find a wife. What he can't try findawife.org??? Clearly your friend is shallow and must have no life. But expecting a women to just wait hand and foot on him, exactly why does he deserve this??? What happened to the rights women have gained??? It was too stop people like you too just expect a woman's life to revolve around a man. Welcome to the 21st century. Also american women throwing food in the microwave??? Have you met American women, i'm pretty sure almost all know how to cook meals, but I sure as hell hope that I will never even have to meet a man like that, I will not waste my life being a servant to my husband.

It's just a mess. Looks like my plan to move somewhere I have only a rudimentary knowledge of the language will work. Maybe I won't understand I'm getting screwed.

haha sounds like a pretty legit plan too me lol

How different is the Weather in Poland compared to that of lets just say Upstate New York, where its freezing in the winter but hot in the summer?

not savings

Yeah but that is because your savings is from the money you got from your income so its usually already been taxed no point in taxing the same money twice. Its the same this as gifting money to family members that money has already been taxed so it wouldn't be fair to tax it again.

The other problem is that the rich hardly have to pay taxes on what they make. They find every tax break that they can get, they hide their money in off shore accounts so no one especially the government can get it.

A bench sitter making $5 million a year, would finish paying Social security a week and a half into the year.

Yes now that is stupid

The other big thing is that I personally think that way tooo many people abuse the system. Way too many people collect unemployment, when they can get a job.

Well Yes the whole cap is just stupid and should have never been put in place, it definitely needs to be gotten rid of.

Can you expand on what you mean by #2???

Also just because he wrote back does not mean that this will actually happen i sure hope it will but doesn't look like it as long as Obama is here.

USA, Canada / General differences between Poland and the USA? [184]

One of the major differences between the two countries is that we can live very well on our American Social Security while living in Poland.

That's great for you. Too bad i'm not guaranteed to still be able to get social security with the way everything is looking and the way its going bankrupt haha.

jkb: Also, a large part of unemployment in Poland is purely on paper for benefits purposes.

Also question does Poland count Discouraged workers into their unemployment rates???? Because the U.S does not.

Children not allowed out because of imaginary pedophiles??? Really lol

Also now a days children don't go to summer camps as much, parents don't feel like paying for them, instead they stay home all day. Also even those kids that do go away instead of playing and having fun nowadays kids at the age of 7 have cells phones so instead of playing at actually texting their little friends. Its so different from when I was a kid I got my first phone for my 9th birthday. But I remember none of my friends had texting it was only to call my parents and friends so I was not on it much.

Have you guys seen that new cell phone that is also hand held playstation so that the kids have a game station everywhere they go??? It's because of things like this that are causing kids to be such little fatties. Its pathetic and honestly I would make my kid run on a treadmill for hours if they ever got fat haha. Kids are also not signing up for sports as much anymore.

Delph do your kids still have gym class?? I know some schools are even cutting gym classes too try to cut down on costs just like most schools are cutting art and music classes.

Unfortunately, child obseity is on the rise in Poland according to TV news reports. In fact, the increase is much faster than elsewhere in the EU. It's probably a combiantion of junk food, hours in front of the comoptuer and paretns providing written excuses for their kids to sit out PT at school.

Have you seen the U.S????? I mean McDonalds is the biggest sponsor of the olympics, what do you expect kids are way to lazy these days and their parents arnt pushing them too go out and be active. But I know the U.S is really trying to change this such as I know before I graduated high school and even when I was in middle schools they starting changing out our vending machines getting more healthy food and getting rid of the cookies. Lots of schools also now have a ban on having soda in vending machines. And in New York its even against the law for any place mostly gas stations and fast food places to sell 42oz Sodas from the fountain drinks.

Genealogy / Polish looks? [1462]

What are fellow Poles (and non-Poles) opinions on all of this and if you don't mind, would you share your specific facial features, those of your related family, and your origins within (or outside) Poland?

Since no one has really actually told you what they look like ill tell you some thing about me lol :)
I am 100% Polish, unfortunately I can't tell you about my family as I am adopted so i don't know about them yet.

But personally I have very blond hair. When I was younger it was very curley but now has a pretty nice wave too if I just leave it. My eyes are bright yellow or green around the center depending on the light and then go into a bright blue out to the edges. My shoulders stand out the most as I have very broad shoulders, its sometimes hard to find tops as if I move to much I can easily rip the shoulders. I am very short though only 4 11. Really short haha. Lets see what else. My eyes are also set somewhat farther apart than most americans I see. My hairline is not high its pretty average I would say. I do have high cheek bones. I really don't have a long face but its not really short either quite average I think. I am thin but have a lot of muscle on me from play so many sports, so all my weight is my muscle, nice to be able to eat junk all the time and not gain weight ;) . Anyway that's all I can really think of for now

Heh! When you were living in Poland...

Well a some of the ones i've looked at do a lot of other services such as representing divorces and other things, so though someone might have used them for some other service.

Translate yourself.

When I type this in it says the page is 404 Page not found. I also only see how too apply for one, and the rules of what your ID card would say. Is their a place where I can type in the number I have and get the information back???

Thank you for the link though :)

It doesn't look so bad. You could overpay or the service could be done not decent enough.
From the other side you will never have 100% guarantee.

Yes I know lol, its just i'm in college so I only work in the summer and well I don't make a lot at max 4,000$ so 1,500 is a lot of money for me to be spending.

Thinking about it, yes, it is :-)

LOL :)

triple-barrelled kiss

What's that??

incarceration rate in the US is the highest in the world.

Part of that is due too. The practice of imposing longer prison sentences on repeat offenders is common in many countries but the three-strikes laws in the U.S. with mandatory 25 year imprisonment - implemented in many states in the 1990s - is very extreme compared to countries in Europe.

Interesting though is that. According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) non-Hispanic blacks accounted for 39.4% of the total prison and jail population in 2009.[27] According to the 2009 census of the US Census Bureau blacks (including Hispanic blacks) comprised 13.6% of the US population. Witch accounted for 841,000 Blacks in prison. While White Americans (non-Hispanic/Latino and Hispanic/Latino) comprise 72% share of the U.S. population, according to the 2010 US Census. Witch accounted for 693,800 whites in prison. This is for males.

A 'semi lower cost'????
Either the cost is lower or it is not lower.

That's a fine way to say, that it's lower but not by much, maybe at most 10 or so cents per gallon. But usually more like only 2 or 3 cents cheaper.

Only after she has been hugged, kissed and welcomed do they turn to him.

You guys hug and kiss strangers upon meeting them???? Is that like how i hear the French kiss you on each cheek when meeting people?? Lol

Yeah no I get that, i'm just saying Poland isn't on that chart either, but even though its not 100% most get more paid days off than Japan, Canada, Switzerland, Netherlands.

Also I know like where my dad works he can roll over his sick days and vacation days that he doesn't use. So if he doesn't use them all up they are just added onto the next year. Can you guys do that also?

Also Unions guarantee teachers days off
Employees shall be entitled to use up to four (4) personal days per school year. You are entitled each year to 5 sick days.

We are talking about some paid time off work for vacations.

Ok but the chart shows that 77% of American workers get 13 Paid Vacation days and 8 Paid Holidays

USA, Canada / General differences between Poland and the USA? [184]

But it shows that 77% of people get paid vacations and paid holidays. So do we really need to have a law for it if most people are getting them off and paid??? Also the U.S needs people to work on holidays we can't give everyone off on every holiday, the only day everyone gets off is Christmas. Other than that we need our stores open like our grocery stores need to be open 24/7 every other day.

America is the only rich country that doesn't guarantee paid vacation or holidays

Yes this is untrue, maybe if you work in a small company you won't. But I have never heard of one that doesn't give you paid vacation and or holidays. I personally don't but that is only because i'm a college student so I only work part time and seasonal. But after you have worked even at a place like Walmart for 2 years you get paid time off.

some shops give a discount to those paying in cash

Well isnt that basically the same as when gas stations give you a semi lower cost on gas if you pay with cash.

Yes. Probably to stop people from queuing outside the door for hours on end to get the better seats (or to sell a place in the queue to people who want to pay for better seats)

Still think that's dumb personally I mean, i'm fine with the way we do it here first come first serve.

Also, people using credit cards tend to buy 20% more

oooo yeah can totally understand this, I mean its just a swipe you don't actually see your money coming out of your hand. Why the U.S has such problems with credit card debt.

There are also on the spot fines for what you would term jaywalking

What seriously, I mean I guess I can understand that, but here you cross where ever you want. hopefully just not right in front of a car lol. What's the fine on that??

Can't say if i was contemplating a move to Poland, portable toilets would be something I would be giving much attention to! I've never seen any there, but then I haven't seen any in the UK, and we do have them in some cities.

Here it is I saw it on the Travel Channel travelchannel.com/video/europes-futuristic-toilets . HOW COOL haha the doctor who lou. Poland should def get them Hell the U.S needs to get emm also lol

So buy a ticket in advance, problem solved.

ooo so you get to pick out your seats?? Why is it like that though?

OOOOO yeah also my parents where telling me about how the last time they were in Poland which was 15 years ago but still when they went to the movies, they got asked too move out of people's seats because you are assigned seats, is that still true?? And if it is why is it like that, I mean that's just weird i don't wanna get put way up close to the big screen that would just **** me off.

USA, Canada / General differences between Poland and the USA? [184]

oooo Yeah trust me I have cheated many many times, and yeah I did a lot of quick paper cheat sheets. Or else honestly I was the person where I had all my friends do it for me, so they would give me a copy of their own cheat sheet for me to use. I've done the sharing a calc and writing answers, but since i've been in college its just too hard. Teachers are always looking, and its just not worth getting caught. In high school you might just get a zero on that test not expelled like in college.

Are their certain things that you shouldn't do in Poland that will get you arrested that maybe in the the U.S are more common practice??? Like the weird law apps you can get on your phones with the weirdest laws that you never know about.

Also I hear that I think it as like in Germany France or the UK where they have pop out toilets in the streets for guys at night for when they are drunk so that they don't **** all over the building??? Do they have those in Poland Just wondering.

Meathead
I Disagree with that statement it really depends on where you go. most don't cheat just because if you are caught you get expelled from many schools.

Also what kids in,poland never go on their phones during a quiz or test??
