What's your connection with Poland? Penpals.

the oppression of women lasted since 966 aka baptism of Poland.
It has been changing recently but slowly and with great resistance from rightists and nationalists like you.

John Dean, if you are a nationalist or rightist, you will feel good in the company of Ironside.

... the enemy of God and the Church, like his neomarxist minions.


Yes, before 966 women were free and untamed. :)

I thought you stopped supporting the Church long ago. Did you change your mind??? :):):)


No, before 966 there hadn`t been an official Polish state so we don`t waste time on such Dark Ages.... :):):)

As I mentioned before, my misadventure with the calvinist heresy was a very brief one and I am now fully back into the fold of the One-and-Only, Holy and Apostolic Roman Catholic Church. It was a short period of weakness one might say... miserere mei Domine quoniam infirmus sum, and all that.

You wouldn't like those calvinists either - they want 10% of your wages! Scandalous! ha ha :)

But let's not drag this thread off-topic - we were advising our new friend, John, whom to address when he has a question regarding Poland. I think we can all agree that I am the best person to provide a new member with a truly Polish point of view.

Neither Calvinists nor Catholics taught you that vanity is a mortal sin??? hahahaha

Female forumers have a different opinion........... :):):)

False modesty is not much better. :)


Women are complicated - they say one thing, they think something exactly opposite.

Albeit a rather narrow-minded one :)

I think our Polish ladies do a great job of providing a Polish point of view and giving good advice. Both are intelligent and knowledgeable about Polish matters. Pawian also. It's not a competition.


Not really.

Hark, hark! :):):)

I find it hilarious that we're being denied Polishness by a Plastic Pole who wasn't even raised in Poland and a Russophile who was ready to become a Calvinist and is downplaying what the Soviet Union did to Poland and Poles o_O


He often does that lol


You wish lol

Your trolling gets boring, Kania.

You have to be careful with open-mindedness. Some people are so open-minded that their brains fall out, as G.K. Chesterton used to say. ;)


Worry not, Paulina - school year has already started, academic year begins in October. You will be bored much less often by me soon. :)

Oh, and by the way - Mikołaj Rej, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski and Stefan Czerniecki were Calvinists. They were quite Polish, weren't they? :)

Such narrow-mindedness, tsk tsk.


Guilty as charged. They have a missing part of our soul - woe to us if we never regain it.

OK, to end with something nice...

@GefreiterKania, but I'm just parroting the narrow-mindedness of your fellow "real Poles" :))) How does it feel, eh?


Indeed.


No, they don't. They defenitely do have something missing in their soul though.

I'm asking you about your experience not some lecture about things you know nothing about.

Merged:

Looking to move back to Poland next year. Would love to meet new people before then

Hey, as the title says, I'd love to meet new people. I'll be moving to a town very close to Poznań. Ideally friends from here would be best.

About me, I'm Michael. At the moment I'm studying theology and physics. I used to write software but quit for mental health and religious reasons. I'm quite social though also celibate.

My Instagram is @originaldesign.pl

You'll see theology and botany videos there.

I'm also hoping to learn Polish. It'd be great to be in contact with someone with whom I can practice Polish. Currently A0.

Feel free to follow me, I'll follow back. Thank you

Why did you decide to travel from Dallas all the way to Poland, and
without even speaking Polish?

You're right, I should wait until I'm B1 or so

At least I should think.

The best way to learn Polish is in Poland.

NEVER, NOT IN YOUR LIFE TIME! MAYBE YOUR CHILDREN WILL SEE, BUT YOU BLEW IT IN 1994

@sambeliskiv
To whom are you referring?

@Alien
Can't argue with that statement. Luckily I knew Polish prior to arriving in Poland!

Poles will parish once birth rate keep declining, you will return backhome from a dream you waited for a longtime and you failed at it.
Jesus!

Your first language is Polish, I take it.
The words are English, but not the hysterical, self-important
ranting sentence which makes one sound like a dramarama.

You are boasting again. Your meager knowledge of the Polish language doesn't jusftly your claims.
Also, you should work on your English mister poser - prior lol - you mean before. Showing off. phew!

I should work on MY English????! Look who's talking!!
Without GoogleTranslate, you'd be dead in the water.

Never implied my Polish was perfect, but at least I tried
and was always open to correction and improvement.

How about you in English? Ooops, sorry. I guess your
arrogance got in the wayLOL

Ironside makes many errors so there is no way he relies on Google Translate. They're not typical translation errors, more like typos and dyslexia. Nonetheless he is a good communicator and has his own distinctive style which is not easy to achieve in a foreign language. He is probably a good conversationalist in English in real life and that's really what counts.

Agreed.


You arrogant SOAB!


You are 100% right.His English is pretty good and though he will never admit it on PF, I bet his French is very good too.........

Is that how you normally address your family members and acquaintances (coz you have no friends in the sewer) at Christmas time?? Stop transferring your private habits into the forum. It is pathetic what you are doing.

Since when was Lyzko a family member or acquaintance of mine?


Quite the reverse, it is pathetic what you are doing troll Jerzy.

Since the very day you joined the forum???
Who taught you logic in the sewer primary school???


Can you try a little harder and invent sth on your own instead of parroting me??? What is your education???

I take pawian's point, Milo.

@Atch, you may be right about Ironside. He sure does a good job concealing it though.
