I don't think a country high in morality is going down to let this stand for very long. To give an example, I understand that kids left the clubs to attend mass when the Pope John Paul died.

Notify a local Catholic church in the area about the activity and let the public decide. They will most likely put a stop to this. Poland is a highly practicing Catholic nation. I doubt that a nation is willing to loose its highest commodity, in this case high morality, to be tarnished by an idiot outsider from another nation, especially where the Pope spent a lot of time.


I'm sorry but high in Morality walks hand in hand with high in hipocricy... and as for ppl not standing for men's behaviour to women... it's seen as the 'norm' here to ogle women... so I doubt it will even raise an eyebrow.

Speaking of Essex... I met two guys from there in Lodz over the weekend... in a very small PRL-style bar... Both wore pale pink shirts. One was def. gay. *laughs*

They said they basically just picked randomly where they'd go visit for the weekend... and chose Lodz.

Seemed ok. I just told them where to go pick up chicks! Twisted Evil

The accent wasn't that bad actually, and they were rather pleasant. Razz

To ogle women is normal but I was under the impression they were trying to pimp the women in Poland, which is different and really bothers me....unless they're my b*tches Smile

I still find it rude or *asking for trouble* when poles just continuously stare at natives from England (UK).

In USA when I was on the camp america program I had 5 poles on the camp. I had to work with 2 of them for 9 weeks. Best weeks of my life but the first week was just stares.

Shocked <<<<haha

They do that with all foreigners.

I don't think they realize that they're doing it.

I think the main difference is that in Poland it doesn't really mean anything.

In the UK and the US, stares can mean either someone wants to fight you or have sex with you.

In Poland stares a
