steal it and treat it like it's your own, let it suckle even, THEN BAM, throw it at a passer-by and watch them stumble to catch it. Enjoy the moment and spread the gospel from the book of me.

hound's tooth can only be done for handbags, and fall jackets no lower than the waist.

Now polka dotted jeans, f'n right that'll bring them ******* to heel. owwww! that's hot.

oh go on now. but i don't see why camo green has to be angry ahhh but i guess i'd be angry too if made to dress in one colour (ok i had to for a time but live and learn). Now you know what's going to be big here? Yeah f'n stripes, f'n horizontal stripes. Fcuk me, Argyle is always cool, f'n stripes are so blahh; at least hound's tooth is different but dare i say it's the femine equivelent to camo?

Now polka dots, just depends on the size darling, if you're thin then they'll work for you-that simple.

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

i'm going with green. Red is just too aggressive, blue has been done, pink is not for polish males and yellow is so 2001. It could end up being something wierd like white though. But I ask you, when will polka dots come back in? - polka dots soooo have it goin on.

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

i'll give the brits this: their prints and colour combos are bingbangonthemoneyman.

Every spring and summer here in Poland there is a new "in" colour which sees everyone and there dog clad in it. Apart from that, there's just some shite you can't pull off here cause every flucker has to turn their head and stare-Fcuk off already!

I'm sorry but cheap and kitsch still rule the day here in Poland and anyone that tells you that isn't the majority is simply blowing smoke up your a$$. But most of the worst dressed people I've met here also happen to be the coolest fothermuckers i've ever met.

News / Polish Immigrants Leave America for Europe [210]


Being opposed to imperialist activities and championing warlords in the middle of Congo are not inclusive to eachother. You should realize being against intervention is simply that. and being against intervening politics doesn't mean someone would want to live in timbhuktu, it just means they believe the place and people should be left to their own way.


Yet guys like Sudharto, Hussein and many others were all orginally backed by U.s. foreign policy-wtf? They were heralded as allies (while laying waste to their counties and people) then denounced as bad guys after they served their purpose.

U.S. policy has been completely about ensuring other countries accept american intervention and influence through the pen or the sword but it always comes at a cost to the country that gets your version of "freedom."

Your inability to recognize that the disastrous situations many countries end up in is often caused by American interests is sad considering your eloquence. Then they need "rescuing" and that's when decent americans come on board, and yes there are millions of them.

News / Polish Immigrants Leave America for Europe [210]

americans can generally be counted on to take this attempt at what they probably think is reasoning. Inventions and discoveries are the work of individuals. Not countries or continents. The same morons say they are fighting "terrorists" while their arse is parked firmly on the sofa.


this is true but is being flexible any worse than being stubborn or pig-headed?

Now if i were you, i'd worry less about the poles leaving and their opinion (everyone has one so what's the big deal anyways) of you and more about the mexicans that your government has allowed in, the number of which greatly exceeds the small trickle of poles into uk. I don't envy you guys that predicament cause i see no way you're ever going to get even a third of them back across the border and they keep coming.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]


that's a very good point. this thread is really really silly (more so now that i've chimed in again). Polish women are really nothing special at all when i compare a slender French girl to a slender Polish girl or a slender Iranian girl (unbelievable gorgeous they are).

It's just that most western males are now being exposed to many women who haven't let themselves go to crap in a blender. Due to population and politics, most of them happen to be Polish. But if Hungary had more people it would be Hungarian women earning that reputation. Now, when western males become more exposed to women from north africa and the middle east they'll start waxing on about those women.

i'm not sure what you mean by "elites" (i don't recall using that) but still, when considering who has the power to make laws, and initiate economic policies, i doubt that the avg Pole considering themsellf as Polish will affect those laws and policies one way or the other.

anyway we may be looking at a seperate ideas here.

although i usually don't side with grzegorz on most discussions, i can't help but think what sound advice it is that if someone expects to have a problem somewhere then it is their responsibility to stay away from that place.

However blazilla may be speaking about his experiences in U.K. only.

News / The New World Order and Poland's place [50]

i'm not sure if i agree with all this, but i always remember what one guy wrote once:

Think of how much of a say you have in how your community is governed?
Now think of how much say you have in how your region is governed?
And now your country?

Now try to imagine what your voice will be or is supposed to be in a government that spans a continent.

Scary stuff when i think about it like he had written it.

well obviously if it isn't as good as uk's then it must be 3rd world right? the reasoning people use to justify their opinions is truly pathetic at times.

Life / Poles are not racist [873]



i stand by my comments.

"[EU] counterparts[?]" I suggest you follow your own advice there chief. I won't deny there is a different view on a lot of things here in Poland and by Poles themselves. But don't make things out to be anything more than what they are. The points I went after are specifically those that overstate the situation.

Life / Poles are not racist [873]

well yeah but i could go and point out that some people in former zaire were killing eachother with great gusto (as was reported, i have no first hand accounts backing this up). Does that mean anyone central africa is a butcher?

Law / Driving in Poland on a foreign license [45]


scam?:0)
the fact that the major motor insurancer (in canada) issues the thing as an international permit, the fact that it has different limitations in different countries? :o)

i never said it stood as a licence unto its own. But never mind, I have used one many times with the police in different countries and border crossings and you have wikipedia, my bad:o)

Life / Poles are not racist [873]


Did someone press an irony button? How can you make sweeping generalizations about eastern europeans and then include yourself in the mix of tolerant fair minded people?

I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but if one reads what you've written then they'd be hard pressed to take what you've written as anything more than lazy reactionary thinking.

Law / Driving in Poland on a foreign license [45]


shaynelle's father is incorrect and upolska is about half right (lol at quoting wikipedia vs actually having one), mine was issued by caa so i can assure you it isn't a scam.

You must have a valid licence from your country of residency plus the international licence. Having the international licence allows you to drive for extended periods of time in a given country without having to exit and return for the sake of legality and insurance. Yeah it's translated into a few languages but not that many really.

The concept of the international licence was established in 1949 and is endorsed and or recognized by virtually every political state that exists.

i keep my international license handy for when i don't think i'll have gone outside the borders for a 3 month period. As well, I got a buddy with a polish one but he let it expire and uses his other licence from another non eu country, he seems to prefer the other one for some reason.

Genealogy / Why are some Polish people dark complected, and others very light [511]

well thank you for pointing out something i wasn't referring to, no just kidding.


hey you should start up a lil promotion, you could predict the past for people, you'd be all but guaranteed a perfect score, lol.

in any case it was only an observation how people wrongly attribute things to their own experience, it's like knowing vs hearing something.


How many meanings of "we" can exist in a given context? Check your medication or stop eating crayons, one or the other:)

it's lazy thinking to not be specific, but people are prone to substituting themselves as players in events they never experienced, so yeah that's a lil dishonest, and it was that and only that i had meant. now let's continue to beat a dead horse and you can reclarify something that i made no comment on anyhow ok?

Genealogy / Why are some Polish people dark complected, and others very light [511]

they can read can't they?

Genealogy / Why are some Polish people dark complected, and others very light [511]

ok let's take it that step further, even to say "we were attacked by that dog" is still fallacious use of language. the object need not be identified explicitly when the two people discussing it are both clear on what the object (in this case our example dog) is.

other than that i still agree with some of your assesment but i still stand by my observation.

Genealogy / Why are some Polish people dark complected, and others very light [511]


That's when logic must stop the imagination from substituting reality for fantasy and acknowledge others' pasts while admitting we have no past lives to readily call upon ourselves.


No. "We" is a first person subject pronoun that means the speaker or writer speaks for a subject group as a representative. "Us" is first person object pronoun that accomplishes the same only as a object group representative. History involves many, but if a person was not a participant then as sanity dictates, they are not qualified to present themselves as one outside of acting or literature.



No, I'm sorry but you wrote yourself "in other instances," in my example the reasoning still stands unblemished and unaffected.


Excellent point! I completely agree with you on some levels of this arguement. If i get
you right, a viable conclusion could be "we should be careful of this dog" or "this dog may attack us." Is that what you meant?

However, I've read the equivalent of people making statements like "We were attacked" or "This dog attacked us."

Semantically so close, yet so different in logic and in reality. Unfortunately people seem to look down on semantic specificity as it limits the play on emotions and doesn't allow for lazy thinking.


I completely agree with you again, and wouldn't dream of presenting anything against that. But, simply because this kind of thinking applies to laws of nature and the people act doesn't give us (yes "us") license to present ourselves as realtime players in things we (yes "we") haven't been apart of. Yes, in a thought exercise, of course you're right, (and then some). Yet there is a line of logic and reason people cross when given to imagination and it's in crossing that line people fall down the slippery slope into backward and childish rants that though full of base emotion, are void of anything beyond that. And outside the bedroom is seldom to positive effect.
