History / Where did the stereotype of Polish people being stupid come from? [131]
gtd, that was priceless!! Defensive to the max. Quite amusing really.
They are far from stupid tho. They learn complex things from a young age. They just don't reward it. They can be very begrudging as people.

News / March of Tolerance in Krakow [478]
Interesting perspective Darius, that one's existence has no purpose whatsoever.
I couldn't disagree more. There are many purposes to existence. I've said it b4, the purpose of life is a life of purpose. This sense of purpose is what gives our existence meaning, fuelling our egos and driving our actions. It fundamentally underpins the perceived raison d'etre of being here and not descending into an anarchic state of justifiable mass suicide.

Work / Living on the certain income in Poland [30]
Fiddly business this tax. That's why I have sb to do it for me. When I used to earn c5600PLN per month, my tax worked out at about 800PLN. So, 1/7th. That's why I said around 750PLN Katsuhiko. I'd say more 1500PLN for rent and bills but it depends.

Aha, kodoma/jidensha ga irimasu ka? Try the local trains, I think u'll be ok. Densha ha maa maa desu kedo...
They are not as punctual as Japanese trains. However, saving on fuel costs will help u to live a nice enough life in Wrocław. There are good restaurants there.
I don't think u'll need a car. Porando ha kirei dayo. U can see this by train

Wrocław ha takai dayo. Sumimasen, kore ha Eigo no forum desu ne.
Katsuhiko, jitsu ha, Wrocław is quite expensive. 5000PLN is good for a single guy there but 2 is so-so. Bochi bochi den na (Osaka ben) Ur tax will likely be around 750PLN. Rent, minimum 1000PLN for a pretty decent place. With bills, 1300PLN if u r lucky.
If sb asks u mokarimakka? in Wrocław then u may have to say, 'not really'. U will live comfortably enough tho without kids and a car.

How dare u say that szarlotka? I mean, how dare u? LOL ;)
Nah, u r right. Changing the face of Katowice was interpreted as getting rid of KFC, one of the city's only attractions.
Furthermore, Polish people feel the station area to be unsafe. My GF, when she wore black more often and was into black metal, was a target for skinheads there. I've done a bit of work in Katowice and I feel safe enough but it does have that sinister potential.

Katowice is a good city for business, definitely not for sightseeing. It's quite dingy. Bielsko is several cuts above.

Study / University in Poland is too easy [68]
Also, top-notch with regards to payments made, not necessarily to the standard of education given out. America has some amazingly smart people, not necessarily products of the American university elite (Princeton, Harvard, MIT etc), sometimes not even products of universities at all.
Bill Gates being one example of a guy who had a dream and built it up steadily. He's no doctorate student or academic, he just has a feel for business. My, what an understatement!!

What about those non-foreigners who commit bad crimes in the UK, i.e UK citizens. We don't want them in our country either so why not ship them out to some distant land?

Good post Pat19. There may have been an element of jealousy, who knows? Being friendly has so many benefits. I've just been watching driving videos. The results of making other road users ur enemies can be catastrophic

U r right, some women just like to have digs at others. It hits ridiculous peaks.
However, we cannot second guess the intentions of others. Urszula is a plain talker, she speaks her mind.

It's not so easy in Scotland. OK, u can seek out help for essays but the exams were mighty tough. The prettiest girls in the course often wanted to see my notes. Putting in the effort has its rewards.

I don't really know but I get that impression. The pass marks can be ridiculously high tho.
In my first Uni, the mark for a 1st-class pass was 70%. Not having told Poles that, they laughed when I told them I often scored between 65 and 75%. The pass mark here in my teaching school is 75%. What a joke!
It's pressure like that that encourages cheating.

Being stubborn is seen as a negative adjective. Holding ur ground is the positive equivalent.
Stubborness can be very irritating, depending on the situation

I often write with the thought in my mind that my Polish friends are standing over my shoulder. Doing the same would help ya Era.
However, like Clinton, he left his mark and stained his, em, conscience.
It's not that insulting a thread. It is a leading question but gives no personal opinion (in the title). Chill dude!!
