Poles - the Nation of Liars?

Fits my definition of "troll": the guy you don't like.

Wrong definition...

This! Exactly.


Heh :)

Cash perpetuates fraud. That's why I always use my CC. No exceptions.

Shut up, Novi.

You betrayed your Slavicity. Let me look at you with contempt.

*looks at Novi with contempt*

A true Slav respects only cold hard cash.

This can be hidden under a mattress, or inside a jar with other preserves.

None of these magical "credit" things.

Ask Poles that borrowed in Swiss Francs to buy their houses, how their acquaintance with "credit" went.

Our people are simply not prepared for this :)

Wise up, Torq.

What did I say that is not true in #423?


Credit =/= a loan. In my entire life, I didn't pay one dime in CC interest.

CC charges can be reversed. Cash payment cannot.

In my opinion they are just more reserved with strangers or people they don't know. I would rather that than fake smiles and have a nice day crap. Personally, I think Poland Expat is just another troll on a rant.

Of course. I am always reserved when meeting a stranger coz I never know if I run into a decent Pole/Poless or a homo sovieticus PIS bolshevik supporter or far right Konfederacja Russian ass licker. One has to be wary here in Poland.


I reject it too - when people do crap talking to me, I only smile coz replying is a waste of time. I hate this stupid etiquette.


An old member who decided to work under another nick to stir the swamp. hahahaha

Because they are afraid.

We, Americans, are not afraid and it shows immediately in the way we interact. That First Amendment is amazing...and no Euro-style hate speech rules...God bless this country...

That is why some of the best conversations I had were with perfect strangers because we both knew we would never meet again. Some of them were over an hour long.

Americans are special and in a very good way. You can ask a guy sitting at the next table sipping coffee or beer if he would like to join you. It's that simple.

The benefit of talking to strangers is that you can say whatever you want with zero risk. Not so with "friends" or family.

Just like here...

As far as that American "have a nice day", it's not going to change one damn bit how your day will go.

It's meant to say - pay attention now, morons - that I see you, and recognize you as a human worthy of my attention - if only for a couple of seconds.

So, take your Euro aloofness pretending to be depth and shove it up your ass.

No it won't and we hate that fake stuff in Europe.

Why can't American vendors just be a bit more honest and genuine?Is that too much to ask for?

You hate it because you are not good at it. I hate dancing so I don't.

There are many ways to casually interact. From looking at the other person to a hi and a nod, to have a nice day.

Yesterday, a cashier at Lexus said: Here is your key, dear. I said: Did you just call me "dear"? I really like it. Can I call you sweetie? She gave me a big smile.

Yes, I could have just taken the key and walked away. That's what I would do in Europe.

Another case...In front of a Walmart store, there were girls selling cookies - 5 bucks per box. I had only 4 singles. I walked up and asked: Do you girls know how to sing Macarena?

Yessss!!! And off they go...OK, here is four dollars for the song. Give the cookies to the next person.

Did I have to do it? No. Would I do it in Europe? No. That's why I am here, not there.

Sometimes I feel like America and Americans were created for me. Perfect fit. The US ruling mob is a different story.

The beauty of American small talk is that it is 100% natural and a great practice how to be witty suddenly.

Or just maybe they don't see the point in having a mindless conversation with a total stranger.


Why? I would find that intrusive.


Bizarre.


That is their problem. The arrogance of thinking they are better than anybody else.

All men love politics.

In the US, we speak freely - especially to strangers. In Europe, you don't because you are either bootlickers or afraid.

In the US, teen girls look straight at me and say hi. In Poland, nobody makes eye contact, including at checkouts.

Staring at someone is indecent.

We don't stare. We look and move on. It's a matter of duration.
There is no woman on this earth who dislikes a longer or second look from a guy.

You are delusional

You are not a woman.

While you are not a true American. You are still a homo sovieticus born in Eastern Europe.

I actually agree. He's too smart to be a vanilla American.

He has that bit of bitter Eastern European flavor to him, whether he likes it or not.

Plus, the intelligence.

Darling, you say so coz he supports RuSSia and Putin. Johhny is the same forum azhole as Novi but you are at odds with him due to his anti RuSSian attitude. Simple.

To compare Johnny to Rich, as we say in Russia, is to compare the anal sphincter to the index finger.

I do not like Johnny, because:

1) He is a liar
2) A coward
3) An opportunist
4) A small, small human being.

Rich, on the other hand:

1) Has posted his passport photo
2) Volunteered to meet any as*hole that wants try kicking his ass
3) Got absolutely demolished for all his "open kimono" moments, by faggots that were too scared to reciprocate
4) He's still here.

One is somebody I would want to meet my future kids, the other is a guy I want to find in a quiet alley at night and provide a lesson in respect.

While Novi isn`t so, of course. hahahaha buhahahaha

No, darling, he is everything what you listed.

Get a grip. A big aggressive dog should definitely cover you twice or thrice to make you stop talking bs. hahahaha


Yes, and he still praises RuSSia and Putin, that is why you fancy him. Simple.

I think something was lost in translation between Polish and Russian idiomatic language here...

What?!

WTF?? I don`t care about Russian idiotic language! ???????

Big question then - why do you understand and write in it so well?

I use goggle translator. hahahaha

You are lying.

Imagine tomorrow you are in Chita, beyond the Arctic Circle, in a general population penal colony.

Then I imagine your understanding of Russian will rapidly begin to exceed that of native born Russians.

Pawian, I will still teach you to love Russia.

Yes, you will, like your predecessors in Katyn and other mass execution sites did to thousands of patriotic Poles and one Poless. :):):)

Wow, that is a serious threat, I wonder if pawian understands it.


he does,
