News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]


Welcome back FISZ. Yeah, the polar bear myth is a classic. :)


True, but in contrary to polka disco polo is actually a polish invention. :)

Well, the idea was good though.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

Not really, but it's true that just by modifying the word "pierdolić" you can say many things. Actually what's the purpose of this thread? I don't get it. :(

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

There are many things other than swear words, that polish people could be proud of. It's a pity that people waste their time writing about the vulgarisms rather than focusing on the positive aspects of polish culture.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

It's a world wide phenomenon. Sometimes when i hear what some teenagers are talking about I start to lost my faith in the mankind. :) And I'm not thinking now about English teenagers. I guess being dumb is starting to be randy these days. :(

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


:) I don't any Randy, I swear. :)


Yah, television plays a big part in this process of "debrainisation" :) of teenagers around the world. Stupid movies like “American Pie” where the only interest of young people is to shag, music for halfwits that says only about shagging, text messages that basically limit the amount of words a teenager uses, etc… Those bloody youngsters! When I was their age… :)

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]


Oh. :)


:) I don't mind it actually. :)


I've noticed that I started to have some problems with grammar because of the text messages. that goes both, for my english and polish. That’s why I am trying to write properly using the punctuation marks, capital letter when required, etc... I still make many mistakes but I think that I'm slowly improving. :)

News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]

I guess that I also am a little bit ignorant sometimes, so I don't want to judge people, but on the other hand, when a person lives in Europe and doesn't know what are the rest of countries present on this continent, then it just makes me wonder what has he been doing on the geography class. :(

Life / Favourite Polish movies? [107]


Your definitely not weird. It's the best Polish comedy made after 1989, if not in the entire history of Polish cinema!! :)

Genealogy / Do Polish people have big noses? [451]

I have a big nose, but I don't think that it's a common polish characteristics. Don't you have like actually real problems you could be concern about?

I know Amathyst. And thanks BTW. :) The person that started this thread really must lead a very boring life since he troubles himself with such silly problem. :)


What’s that?

USA, Canada / Polish TV in the USA? [43]

Stop watching Polish soap operas. People that play in them aren’t even worth to be called actors. The same as in the UK. :)

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]


Because Poles are masters at self-criticism. :)


Third person? Do you mean addressing people per Pan/Pani(Mister/Madam)?

You see, you have been ASKED! Now that's what I call polite, and proves that even in those kind of situations Poles know how to behave. :)

Genealogy / Is tallness common among Polish people? [201]

Ok, I'm 5.9 ft. Is that high or small according to English standards? :(

Work / Want to live and work in Poland, but it is not possible? [19]

People that started to work outside Poland from the 1st January 2007 don't have to pay another tax in Poland. They only pay the one from the country they have worked in.

Life / Is the word "Polack"rascist? [185]


Lach is just another name for a Polish person, used by Ukrainians, Russians and Turks. It's not offensive, although taking under the consideration the history between Poles and those nations I guess that some people might use it in a rather abusive context. :)

My God, and I always considered myself average height... :(

Genealogy / Is tallness common among Polish people? [201]


What? He's 183 cm and he has a good height for a man, and I with my 181 cm am a short repellent and weak midget! How cruel! :( :)

Would you at least consider to wear one inch smaller heels for me? I'm maybe short by at least broad and I use my small legs like a bloody Baryshnikov! Even wear the same tights! :)

Work / Want to live and work in Poland, but it is not possible? [19]


Hmm I'm not sure why he says he can't work here, but I do understand why he doesn't wan to go back. If he does he will have to pay the back tax. Only people that started to work after the 1st January 2007 don't have to pay the double tax in Poland. 7 years? That would cost a fortune. :)

Work / Want to live and work in Poland, but it is not possible? [19]


That's a relief. Few of my friends received letters from the Urząd Skarbowy here in Poland with the warrant to pay the back tax. One lived in GB for 10 years and always have paid the tax in the UK so probably that’s how they tracked him.
