News / is the Czech Republic economy stronger then the Polish one [25]

Zion, you're right - your posting is about the economics.

It would appear that at present it's easier to make a living in the Czech Republic than in Poland.

News / is the Czech Republic economy stronger then the Polish one [25]

Hm, I haven't noticed any strong 'dislike' between Poles and Czechs.

Any hard evidence of this alleged 'dislike' (apart from hearsay, such as provided by witek (from canadda) and dannyboy (from Ireland?))?
:)
By the way, witek from canata suggests that all the Poles strongly dislike Czachs. I wonder what right does this chap have to speak on behalf of all the Polish people? What right does he have to speak on behalf of me?

Maxpayne, Poles and Czechs have had strong political and cultural ties for more than 1000 years. For example, in 966 we converted to Christianity through the Czechs, as we didn't want to do that through the Germans. Poles and Czechs were nations under foreign rule in the 19 th century: the Czechs under the Austrian-German rule, and the Poles under Russian-Austrian-German (Prussian) rule. Both nations were culturally close to one another then, even though the Czechs were way more pro-Russian than us. Just after WWI, when both Poles and Czechs regained independence, there was a conflict over a territory called Zaolzie. The Czechs got it, even though most of the inhabitants were Polish. In 1938, the Polish army took over Zaolzie. During WWII, in Britain, Poles and Czechs fought with great distinction as pilots in the Battle of Britain. The greatest RAF ace was a Czech, Captain Frantisek, but he chose to belong to a Polish, not Czech RAF unit. After WWII, at the Soviet insistence, Zaolzie was incorporated to Czechoslovakia. In 1968, the communist authorities in Poland sent the army to support the Soviets in their putting down the communist Czechoslovak anti-Moscow rebellion. Some Czechs remember this, as well as the Zaolzie affair, with bitterness. Besides, after the offical end of the Cold War, the international media mafia have been successfully talking into the world and the Czechs that the latter are somewhat superior to the Poles.

:)

PS. The Zaolzie. It has at present a substantial Polish minority, with strong ties to Poland.

Giles, do you suggest that the 'mental defective' you're talking of has ridiculed 'the current political elite'? If yes, then how?

Oh, and Giles - are you suggesting that somebody has purposely put up your 'mental defective' to 'ridicule the current political elite'? If yes, who would this somebody be?

Life / What makes you proud to be Polish? [150]

Why should one be proud of belonging to a particular nationality?

Is it in order to compete with others who are proud of their own nationalities? ;)

I can tell what I love of things Polish.

One of them is Polish poet Rafal Wojaczek [pronounced in English: 'voyachek'] (1945- 1971).

I regard him as one of the very greatest 20th century world poets.

There have been some English translations of his poetry, but I'm not sure how good those would be....

I'll try to translate some of it myself, here, in this forum.

News / I need Kaczynski's Email Address! [84]

Patrycja, so you're unable to tell what specific events you refer to, oh, so angrily, nor what the place and time of those alleged events were? You're just repeating some hearsay from some vague forum? What if the hearsay isn't true?

Maybe you've just made up the entire story, Patti?

You also are unable to tell why you are so eager to inform about that alleged outrageous event Mr Kaczynski?

So if, say, a Japanese company in US treats its American employess abusively e-mails should be directed to President Bush, Patti?

A year or more ago, there were media reports about some - if I remember correctly - Swiss company owner forcing Polish female employees (in Poland) to wear T-shirts with offensive statements on them, such as 'I'm dumb' (correct me if I'm not repeating it right).

Should the Polish President have been inundated with e-mails about it? Should he have been blamed for the incident?

Or maybe it's the Swiss, not Polish, authorities that should have been scolded for their citizen's antics?

What do you think, Patti?
:)
PS. Should Polish women inundate Bush with e-mails about the often horrible treatment of female employees in America? Would you like them to 'help' you so, Patti?

News / I need Kaczynski's Email Address! [84]

Lonestranger writes: 'our world is different than the west.'

Do you mean that Poland is so different from 'the west'? Why?

So, according to you, Poland is not part of 'the west'? Why?

So, according to you, America is part of 'the west'? Again, why?

What, according to you, is 'the west'?

I assume that because you use an expression you know what it means.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
:)

Patti, would you kindly try to answer my questions? Are you able to do it?

News / I need Kaczynski's Email Address! [84]

Patrycja, what are you talking about? What companies? What headbands? What does Mr Kaczynski have to do with that?

And why only folks from where you dwell, Australia and UK should scribble those e-mails of yours? Are others not good enough to join your company? Do you regard yourself, Aussies and Uk-ers as morally superior to anybody else?

In spite of such American phenomena as the mass-murderer and Zionist puppet Bush, Yank soldiers burning alive women, children and the elderly in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the war-mongering Zionazi psychos from the New York Times and CNN?

Hm, I've noticed that when the US is mentioned in a negative manner, you become quite defensive and upset. Are you trying to lift up your national self-esteem by putting down Poland?

And where did you take the news from about those allegedly offensive headbands?

From the prevalent in US jewsmedia? :)

They are trying constantly to install in your countrymen hate towards Poland and Poles, aren't they?

Do you and your countrymen ever ask whether those psychos ever tell the truth?

Re:'Are Polish women in serious demand by Western men?' - So it is assumed that Polish women aren't 'Wesatern'? If not, why?

History / Poland - Looking back to 1990. [18]

Actually, Daffy, in spite of the media not liking him, President Kaczynski is quite an astute and pro-European politician. I've got no doubts whatsoever he'll say yes to the Constitution.

I've got to run now, unfortunately. Take care you and all other friends.

Espana, that's okay, man. We were just a bit silly and joking; nothing wrong about it. Most important that we can talk again and forgive. I myself respect you greatly, you know that.:)

History / Poland - Looking back to 1990. [18]

Of course, the effects of our joining the EU have been positive re our farmers, infrastructure, movement of capital, job markets open to us. If only our political situation, re relations with Russia and Germany got clarified, but it's not up to us, largely.

News / The Impact of Poland joining the EU [64]

Daffy, I absolutely agree re European Constitution. We need it and we need it now.

Hey, espana. Nice to see you. :)

News / The Impact of Poland joining the EU [64]

Daffy, Poles aren't only 'moving West;' they are also moving North, South, even East of Europe in search of work. By the way, I don't like the idea of 'West' as something inherently different and opposed to Poland and Poles; I think it's an obsolete Cold War and also racial term. So even if we're in the EU we're still not West? :) :(

In my opinion, it's in the vital interest of the EU not to expand any more and limit to an absolute minimum immigration from outside EU. Europe needs to be put in order first, and European people cared for before others.

How is it that EU members Romanians and Bulgarians have limited access to the EU labour market and scores of folks from Asia, Africa, and Arab countries are taken in and given priviledges that EU nationals don't have. this is really anti-European and criminal. It also makes integration of all the present EU member states so much harder, even impossible.

I don't believe in so-called global economy; I think it's just a bunch of cunning American propaganda. The earth resources are too limited, and so we must compete for them, especially with entities that use masses of them, such as America and China.

News / The Impact of Poland joining the EU [64]

Daffy, please rephrase your question. How do I feel about what?

Morning, daffy. Good to see, er, read ya again. :)

History / Poland - Looking back to 1990. [18]

Trollie mamma mia suggests that Poland doesn't possess even 'some semblance of stability.' Do you mean that Poland is extremely unstable? Prove it using specific facts. :) Mamma mia also suggests that Poland is in a 'childhood phase.' That's a vague metaphor, isn't it? Are you able to explain clearly and factually what you mean when you state that Poland is in a childhood phase?

Hm, what if it's mamma mia's perception of Poland and language describing Poland still in the extremely trumped-up and negative Cold War propaganda phase?

Secret is right to ask mamma mia: 'Have you ever been in Poland?' (sic).

Of course, even if somebody visits a given place there's no guarantee he or she will perceive the place as it actually is.
:)

Daffy, I would like to see withing next 10-15 years, in fact the sooner the better, one large European economy, rather than separate national economies. But let this economy be European, for the European peoples first. I think EU should, nay, must stop expanding and put tough controls on immigration from without, at least for a long time, until our European house gets put in order.

Oops, in my reply to mamma mia I screwed one sentence. It should be:

'Hm, what if it's mamma mia's perception of Poland and his or her language describing Poland that are still in the extremely trumped-up and negative Cold War propaganda phase?'

News / The Impact of Poland joining the EU [64]

Re: somebody calling himself / herself 'polish_pride.' - Never heard such views in Poland, from real Polish people. I think they have been appreciating the EU membership already. And if the Polish salaries go up (experts say it'll happen within next 5 years), and some political issues of concern to Poles get clarified, eg. the German-Russian and EU-Russian relations, then you won't find happier people in the EU. :)

Be careful whilst speaking to trolls.

Life / Why to live in Poland? [21]

So Koticzku states that 'all Polish girls are moving out of Poland'? Is it a fact that all of them, none remain? How would you prove it's the case? How about Indian girls moving out of India? There are scores of such, e.g. in America. Why would they move out, if, as you seem to suggest, India is such a grand place? Koticzku admits also that during his alleged trip to Poland he was 'really surprised by political censorship, high taxes and strange rules.' Can you give even one proof of this alleged 'political censorship'? A few examples of those 'strange rules'? Wow, they must be extremely strange when even an Indian finds them so. As for the 'high taxes,' if their height shocks you so much in Poland, make sure you don't go e.g. to France. The height of their taxes might be lethal to you. By the way, are there any taxes in India, or none at all? Are taxes needed at all, or not? What do you think, koticzku? :) PS. Is there any political censorship in India? If so, do the numerous cases of brutal persecutions of Christians there have to do with your censorship?

Koticzku wonders 'why lots of Indians are moving to Poland'?

Hm, I, too, am puzzled by that.

Don't the media hacks in the US, including Canada, call India 'the largest democracy in the world' (SIC) ? :)

So why would all those Indians be moving away to Poland?

Is India too democratic, too low-taxed, too common-regulated, too insignificantly involved in Iraq for them?

Do they think their fellow Indians talk in a not sufficiently bad way about the Indian government?
:)

Daffy, re the reconcilliation and common ground, I hope for it too. Otherwise, Europe is gone. We should never-ever allow it to happen. :)

I gotta go now, unfortunately. Good night, and see you tomorrow some time. Best. :)

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

I'm not sure, Daffy, re the number of casualties. What the percentage would be for Poland and Ireland? Besides, so many of you have immigrated, far more than us. How about the potato famine? How many perished?

I've just read Frank's best wishes for the new EU members, including Poland. Sorry, I didn't notice the post before. Thanks , Frankie. You Irish - real Irish, from Ireland - are sweet people, we Poles know that. I've heard about a Polish rock love song titled 'I love You Like Ireland.' :)

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Well, we can also look at the percentage of casualties throughout history. wouldn't the Irish one be higher? I'm not sure. :)

Daffy, I meant Plato, Socrates. :) But yes, Daffy (and Puzzler) are like them when we behave as they taught us to do. :)

OK, speak both at the same time, I don't care. :) Why would you consider our exchange an 'exam,' Frank? Aren't we just discussing, and civilly at that, just as the best in Europe advised to do? :)

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Hm, so by the '10/20/30' times worse consequences for Poland is meant the allegedly higher number of Polish casualties? I'm not sure if more Poles or Irish perished throughout our both countries' tragic history. As you have suggested yourselves, you had 800 years of oppression, and we Poles 'just' some 200 years in total.

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Poland had a few foreign kings. Why would you say we had them because we became disenchanted with our own kings? Were the English disenchanted with English kings when royals of German extraction ruled England? :)

Daffy, thanks, but would you let Frank speak when I ask him questions? :)

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Frank, how did you calculate it that the 'outcomes' (of Poland's joining Napoleon) were '10/20/30 times worse than ... for the irish' (sic)? What do you mean that 'in the hindsight it all went wrong'? Do you mean that we had a better choice than joining Napoleon, but we didn't make the choice? :)

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Daffy, have I ever said that the Irish people don't condemn 'the Nazis'? I've hoped that in spite of my occasional silliness :) you've thought me wiser than that. But it seems to me, e.g. from reading Irish literature, that you have always been much more friendly towards the Germans than we, just as we have been more friendly towards the English than you.
