Life / Poles are not racist [873]

Why is the term "paki" taken offensively? I think when some post this it's used as an abbreviation. Like "brit" Swede"Polak" What the proper abbreviation of pakistan? I'm not racist, but I've always used paki. So I'd be considered a racist if I say this?

what also iritates me is when people act niaeve to certain things

You don't know me... How can you say what I'm asking is naieve? Maybe this was invented by whit europeans, but I've never heard it used in a derrogatory mannor. It's like calling someone from Irag "iraqi".

You need to relax a bit. You can't assume that everyone is familiar with things like these. We're from all over the world.

Gotcha. Thank's for the info.

The negative term of Paki came about when Pakistanis emigrated to the UK

Probably why I've never heard about it :)

Ya live ya learn. I'd hate to indirectly offend anyone, so this will be helpful.

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

I think Americans fear confrontation so they're just nice to everybody.

Fu*k Off :) We aren't nice to everyone. Maybe in the south they display exceptional hospitality. But if you live where I live a look can get your head kicked in.

We dont have to walk around with smiles on our faces just because someone says we should.

And we all don't either. Some people chose to be fake. Let's not make generalization here. I live in NY and I don't smile everyday because some fuc*er on TV say's it's courteous.

Life / How Safe Are the Polish Cities? [179]

I am beginning to worry about traveling with just my sister.

I'd say you wouldn't have to worry. Couples aren't usually messed with.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

Sounds like my kind of beer. Is it readily available outside pl?

Yes. Im in the US though. Our grocery store chains carry it. But, per Lakelandhiker it's all over the UK.

Love / Polish Girls vs Russian Girls [813]

I am looking to marry a young Polish girl. I am an older established American. Any suggestions?

Go to Poland....especially if you're "established"...you can afford it :)

ask other American men who have gone through the process themselves, it wil both save you time and energy.

Travel / Coming to Poland with a pet :) [47]

hey fisz. or some one how is health care in poland. talk to later

Honestly chuck, I don't know. However, I did have to catch an ambulance to the hospital for some stitches and it was about 100zl. Then I had to visit a private Dr. for an xray which was 39zl (USA more than a few hundred) and each visit after that was 17 zl.....so, I think it's A-OK but I think someone living there will be able to help more.

They tasted exactly the same :) I also had someone bring a bottle of the green one over. That one tastes the most different.
