What's the stupidest question asked about Poland?

re: All reasonable questions, although probably worded badly

- What's so 'reasonable' about a question showing that the cretin asking it is convinced Poland lies in the vicinity of I-sra-el and Lebanon? How do you know those questions were 'worded badly'? You mean you know the good wording? How? And what would the good wording be?

:)

Outspoken, well, your answer doesn't prove that donkeys are used in Poland in as large numbers, as e.g. in Third World places. (In one case you seem to confuse a horse with a donkey. Are you sure it's donkeys you've allegedly seen in the places you mention? ;)

As for dirt roads, are they as common in Poland as in the Third World?

By the way, there are quite a few dirt roads in the UK. Perhaps there are some donkeys there just as well? Would it mean that the UK is all dirt roads and donkeys?

:)

Maybe that is not what he was saying.


I don't, just my own experience of such questions.


I've had many examples of good questions worded badly from very intelligent people.


Depends on the situation and context.


That is not the issue, there was no comparison to eg Bhutan.


Now this point I accept, but certainly very small horses. I'm not an expert in these matters.


Again, your changing the issue completely.


This is very true, but I never said it was a bad thing.

- It doesn't seem to be the case, really. - First, you quoted from the following post by Wroclaw: 'A lot of people think Poland is still stuck in the 70's or before. So any questions about: shops, transport etc. Even on these boards some posters are asking about buses and how to get around. It's like we still have dirt tracks and donkeys.'

Clearly, Wroclaw seems to mean that some folks believe that all transportation in Poland consists of dirt roads and donkeys. Meaning that transportation in Poland is as in the Third World. Now what issue have I allegedly changed here completely? If any one has changed anything, it seems to be you: you've taken out one sentence from Wroclaw's statement and commented on it in an out-of-context manner.

:)

What does this have to do with the 3rd world?


That's your interpretation only.

forgive me if I'm wrong Outspoken, but weren't you the one saying in a different thread, "The bigger the opinion, the bigger the ass hole?" x

Should have kept your mouth shut, babe :D ;)

too funny for words x

Kochanie, you are forgiven because you are wrong on this one.

I would say 'Arse' not "Ass".
and I don't use words like that.

yes. I have looked and I'm wrong. very sorry x

- Of course, just as e.g. your saying:' That's your interpretation' is your interpretation.

Interpretations can be correct and incorrect. Is mine correct or incorrect?
:)

Don't worry, it was lovely to have a 'Cyber-wrestle' with you.

I'd say correct cos that's what I thought as well x


lol, even if it only lasted...30 seconds maybe? I was shot down straight away! I almost wiosh you had said it then it could have gone on a bit longer x

I have had English people ask me if the Russians still arrest you for taking photo,s , the Russians in Poland that is...I have been asked if they have telivision in Poland , how many people have cars , does it snow all the time...But the most often asked queation is...where is Poland...?...Makes me ashamed to be English...

- Don't be; you're not ill-informed any more, and can learn more and tell the others.

People in Britain, just as all the other peoples living on the American side of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War ( ca 1945-1990) were brainwashed about the peoples living on the Russian side of the Iron Curtain. And the Russians attempted to brainwash the people they were occupying about Britain and other nations on the American side.

Awful and stupid things were often talked into all of us. Now we can undo the work of the psychopaths from both the American and Russian side.

One thing you should be aware of, however, is that a large chunk of media types in Britain and England (notice that I don't call them British or English media types, because they have truly little to do with British or English people) have been spreading false hateful Polonophobic messages. Those also account for the misinformation you mention.

And lastly, there's that loud loonie Orwellian piggy tribe (have you ever read 'Animal Farm' by the English genius George Orwell?) that for its loonie reasons hates and vilifies us Poles the world over, including Britain. ;)

If transports so great in PL (and it sucks here too,so calm down puzz') why do those in the know take pillows to sit on once they cross from germany heading to say Krakow? Could it be that hitlers autobahn is still the main route? :)

Most commen questions I get asked about my experiances of Poland ,Poles etc are; "They speak Russian dont they" or,"Its part of russia isnt it? " (btw outspoken,Poland was never part of the soviet union...)

Misconceptions,sure,I'll even put my hands up to falling into that trap myself on my first trip( maybe helped by getting stuck in rush hour traffic in katowitz and being surrounded by ancient GAZ trucks and Polski fiats with various,you would thin crucial bits like bonnets and doors missing) and mistaking the little allotment huts for really poor peoples houses :)you know,sort of the Krakow Barios :)

Puzzler,your on a hiding to nothing with your crusade against "polonophobic media" ,Im guesing your meaning our tabloids? theyre are just crap written for hatefull little people scared of "johnny foriegnor" ,might be Pole bashing this year,it will be Bulgar bashing next.......

Before I came to Poland I only asked one stupid question and that was "Do you have clubs in Poland?". I remember asking this because I got the most strangest look back off the Polish bouncer!

To be honest most of the Poles I had met working in a bar in Edinburgh didn't speak much english and were over working 2 jobs because they either "can't get job" or "money very bad" in Poland. When you hear Poles talking negatively like this with bad english and that working on the door for 6 weeks could earn them as much money as their family needs to live for X amount of months you can't blame people in the UK for thinking of Poland as a terribly underdevoloped nation! So you will continue to get daft questions!

Though some of these questions are a bit stupid!

Hum...really ?...sounds bad... :p

What I say is pretty generalised and or course not everyone thinks this but yes a lot of people think this about Poland especially when you know of people living in crowded houses sending money back etc

seems this forum has all the dumb questions one could ask about PL.. :D

The dumbest question I've been asked with Poland in context: "If folks in England are English, and in Poland are Polish, shouldn't Greenland be Greenish?"

Logical... ;p

greenland isn't a country.. the few that are brave enough to be there are danish. yum. lol

No, but they are quite independent. And there are not only Danes, but Inuits, the first inhabitants of this big island
I'd really like to go there someday, it's wonderful ;)

Another stupid question: People in Newzealand... Shouldn't they be News-ish? :)

Aha, why not ;p

Polson, you're a man after my own heart. I'm glad you enjoy this mindless humour too. :)

LoL ;P

Some chick in America asked Randompal if Polar is spoken in Poland.

WOW. lol

What's the stupidest question asked about Poland?

To the Polish guy i have chatted before, i asked if there is a divorce in Poland? His reply was just "huh?"...thought it was stupid to ask considering Poland is a Catholic nation. Geez...
