History / Poland has paid £68 Million for helping UK in WW2 [168]

doesnt matter. none of them played the same role that the USA, Germany, Russia, England & japan played.

which was my point - and you know that

Law / I want to go to poland but worried about the army [38]


The army is not for everyone. Its voluntary here in Ireland and the UK (and the UK had conscribtion) the quality of the soldier and mentality is better when they want to be there.

I served four years voluntarily and i can say i wouldnt want someone who was forced into it serving with me when there mind is not on the job.

Also, In today's society, there are fair better civil services to 'conscript' people into. Like Getting doctors to serve in health, accountants in the civil service, engineers in the depts. etc etc. and you can do that for 9 months also!

A way to ensure all citizens contribute their level of education to society rather than marching up and down a square (which i found fun in my four years - i just know its not for everyone and not to be forced on the unwilling)

IMHO - 2 cents

the USA, Germany, Russia, England & japan.

Thats all the worlds superpowers back then. so its fair to call it 'world war'

Ireland had a minor role. switzerland. norway. Eritria. argentina. but on the grand scheme of the war it was USA, Germany, Russia, England & japan the main players as it were

Polonia / Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]


you dont get what i am about at all. i DO sympathise with you. Thats not what ive objected to. Its the attitudes held against the german and russian PEOPLE. its another level dealing with governments.

Life / Question About Polish Attitudes Towards Non-Polish People: [23]


shows what you know then abot history. Ive just given you ONE example of a western country that has done what you suggested. It failed.


so your calling Poland a third world country? i dont agree with that.

People have ALWAYS went to economic centres throughout HISTORY in order to find work and money

Rome, in the early AD

Venice

Marco Polos, silk route

Then the industrial revolution it was the lkes of London, Paris, Milan for eg.

Up to recently it was the USA

Now europe is gaining and people go to west europe.

how about learning from history and not repeat mistakes eh? lets try that instead.
The smart option.

No country has been able to survive and DEFO never thrived in such a manner!

Ireland did this to the UK in its early year (DeValera - the 'economic war') Nearly destroyed the country!!! It was Cosgrove who fixed it!! (subsequent leader of next gov't and opposite party)

News / POLAND's ENERGY -WHAT is it? WHERE is it from? [29]

imnot convinced either but im arguing against nuclear on cost effectiveness

News / POLAND's ENERGY -WHAT is it? WHERE is it from? [29]

ireland for EG has a HUGE natural resource of the west coast (atlantic) in Renewable energy. (wind & wave technologes)

so much so, its been reported Ireland could actually EXPORT energy we'd have that much to spare! :0

i dont think nuclear is the answer. as an energy yes it very good. but the time to buld is too long.

it costs too much to build

it costs too much to maintain

it costs too much to dispose of waste (safely even more :))

it costs too much to decommission

This is why for eg the UK is trying to get out of Nuclear Fuels as a source of power.
(its doesnt even supply 10% of its energy needs!)

Polonia / Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]


thats a subjective remark and a matter of individual taste

i cannot answer to your tastes witek, besides, im irish :)

half of the problem of the world (ie cars, planes etc. sorry my coma shoulda been a full stop)


so we should rush into thge first alternative then? thats bad management thinking.

we must explore all alternatives not just the first one that seems ok

oh yea, it was you we had the entire thread about, where is that thread now so we can so witek?

Polonia / Germans: Do Poles like them or dislike them? [217]


more liek, daffy the guy who preferes to just, get along :)


yes i did :) infact there is an entire thread of me trying to show another guy this very point!

I don't think there is a problem with the origin of the language witek, do you?

besides, that's moving off topic, move onwards, move upwards man

News / POLAND's ENERGY -WHAT is it? WHERE is it from? [29]

he is correct, no comparasion!

while nuclear energy is safer today than ever, it still has the waste issue (even though storage is better than it was, its still not the greatest)

However, i would disagree with nuclear power on its price. its NOT cost effective to build. No company will build a plant unless the gov't pays for it. (our money)

it takes 7-12 years to build a nuclear power plant

we've been through this you and i - its the same arguemtn we could make about the english here in ireland - ive already told you what they've done to my family in the past and i shouldnt need to go into 700 years worth of examples.

i think the english are nice and have changed!

and i think the germans have too

move onwards, move upwards.
