Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [380]

I wonder if the people complaining are Americans or Poles? Most of the Poles I know won't fly another airline and the Americans hate Lot - food sucks, RUDE, RUDE RUDE. They operate on a "need to know" basis and as a passenger, you don't need to know anything!

I'm American. Never had an issue. In fact, anyone that I know who fls with them havent had any issues. Maybe it's you?

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

Not too long. I just started taking classes a few months ago, but I've been to Poland a few times and try to learn a little while I'm there. I know some vocabulary, but forming sentences and declinating are a bit confusing at this point. There seem to be many rules that my teacher doesn't explain well; She just says that the more I see and use, the more sense it'll make and will come naturally.

Yes, but even when we have a so called unemployment boom, there's always undesireable work that needs to be done....somewhere. When we're laid off, we can collect for 6 mos and for some reason people end up getting extensions. When I really need money and in a bind, I'll do whatever is necessary to make a buck...legally of course :)

It's not so so bad here. As does the UK, we also have many Americans collecting from the gov't and refusing to take work on a farm or washing dishes. It's easier to claim disability. We need many of these workers on our farms and would suffer if we didn't have them. They do strain the country a bit, but we are rather large in comparison and I'd rather have them then lazy people who don't want to work.

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

And everyone feeds into this noimmi fella. It's obvious he lacks.

The Polish where I live don't take offense. "Pole" or "Polack" are ok if used in a respectable context.

Food / Bread Baking in Poland [65]

Then you'd like Paluchy. It's a long braided roll. They're only made in 1 place and by a family who only sells it there (off season maybe a local market...who knows). It's made fresh every morning and you have to wait in line to get it fresh, but no matter how long you wait it's worth it.

Life / POLES FIND CZECH FUNNY! [42]

the Poles are way friendlier towards the Czechs than the Czechs towards Poles. I've heard horror stories about the treatment of Polish tourists, including women.

This is true. I went on a ski holiday to CZ and they do have a snobbish attitude towards the PL. I was receiving the same treatment until they found out I was American. Their attitude took a 180 deg. turn. I've noticed that the German tourists were also treated much better. Regardless of who's visiting you, these people are still spending money, why treeat them any different?

Food / Bigos Recipe [151]

so it could be a disaster

I doubt that. Not something that you can really mess up unless you've never cooked before, but you're a southern boy....i'm sure you can cook.

Food / Bigos Recipe [151]

Thanks Vilius. I'd love to try this on an open fire with fresh venison or whatever.... having only some ingredients that are easy to bring. I still continue to change this recipe and add what I have at hand.

I'm not sure why abcdefghijklmno has to say what 'traditional' bigos is. There's no 1 way to prepare this.

Life / Vertu (or iPhone) in Poland ?? [19]

Besides it being a waste of money, I hear some are rubbish (the constellation anyway). It should be able to be used anywhere in Europe. I believe its a tri band GSM. If you're on a ntwk that supports your device, then you'll have no problems.

I usually pick up Era automatically.

The iPhone is a quad band, so, you'll have no problems.

Travel / Hometown / Vacation pictures Poland [201]

I wanted to post some more pics but I don't know how to put more than two into one post... :/

You can sign up at a picture hosting site ie. photobucket. They're usually free. Once you upload pics to the site, it'll provide you with a link sth like this:

You can add a few per post. Just don't post too many because the page will take forever to load. Good luck.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

"Hate" toward Americans comes from frustration. There are two obvious reasons of it. First: Educated Poles who come here due to the language problem usually are employed way below their abilities and consequently after the initial period not very happy.

So, I'm assuming that you either have these types of friends only or you live in Los Angeles :) Where are all these things that I "accumulate"? I work hard, make money and I don't have superfluities. We all don't live like you describe.

I appreciate your honest opinion as to why the Pl feel "hatred" towards us. If they're unable to look past the typical Plastic American stereotype, then they don't really understand what most Americans are like. I am one of many who doesn't need luxuries.

Cheers.

Have you all not figured out that racists are in every country? We can sit here all day and post racial videos. We have many KKK and other assorted dimwits here :)
