News / Women's average earnings as a percentage of men's. Poland's near top. [50]

Going back to subject I think this table has something to do with being traditionaly catholic country. Italy Frace Poland, some of them are not catholic anny more but still it has something to do with tradition.

heheh Lessers political fraction (UPR) is famous from having 0,5 % support and and 80% of members are bachelor

News / Women's average earnings as a percentage of men's. Poland's near top. [50]

Poland gave rights for females in 1918 whe we regained independence. I don't think that Dekameron represents common Polish values.

In my opinion we are so high in this table because we never heard about glass ceiling or something like that. Catholic tradition is much different as well. Maybe there is less political corrections but in practice things look much better that in other countries and yes females work in Poland because it is economy. Durring communism females were working and we had such projects like females on tractors.

Nowadays we see in EU similar projects and it looks funny because we are after this chapter.

News / Poland has an old ambition to become a regional power [37]

I will tell you what Poland wants.

Poland wants normal situation in region, Balts developing their economies. Poland developing our economy. Russians without paranoia. This small cmetnery is not spearate case. German politicians supported moving of Russian monuments form Talin. It would be normal but officialy you have much different line when we talk about Russia. We have German cmenteries in Poland it is not problem.

The problem is that Balts are in real danger. I'd say that this all events even with this small cmentery cause problems for them.

Germans form the one hand don't have problems with Soviet monuments in Germany from the other support strange tendences in Balitic states.

If you believe in EU you should know that in this moment such tendences cause real problems. Russian miniority fell threat ... KGB Putin use it very well.

Poland is happy that this countries are free and we wants peace, democracy and strong NATO.

News / Poland has an old ambition to become a regional power [37]

Do you know Russian arguments for crusing Ukrainians and Baltic states. You give them one more. Russians are in deep paranoia. KGB agents on the top use it very well. German diplomacy supported balts decision of moving Soviet monuments ... now there are neo nazi marches and events like this one.

The worst in that all is fact that Russians are playing hardcore game and you give them arguments. You don't hold one line with USA UK or Poland in case of Russia but in the same moment when you talk about Russophobic countries you support such events. Opinion polls show something - 50% of Germans don't want to deffend Balts. It means that they take into consideration this invasion and fear Russia, this fear is so strong that they don't care about NATO.

In current situation such actions provoke Russian miniority and Russia.

Now I use German argumentation !

Yes many politicians form Russia and Europe come to Poland and tell us. Don't stand in one line with Nazi balts it is not your team.

News / Poland has an old ambition to become a regional power [37]


More and more I read about whole situation. More and more I start to understand what is going on. My symphaties I have presented today are valid. You push Balts in Russian hands because you don't want NATO. You want new game. When NATO once will break 5th article ... it will be your success. Russians are very sensitive it this case and you know that, you don't want to deffend Baltic states you respect their monuments in Germany. In the same moment you sponsor such projects in current situation. You provoke Russians and create their agression.

News / Poland has an old ambition to become a regional power [37]

Germany and Russia have long tradition of creating zones of influence in region.

I look with suspicion on German proposals from the one hand they are nice toward Russia form the other they sponsor monuments for German soldiers in places where in the past Soviet Soldiers were holded and killed in German concentration camps.

Nice example is Salaspils in Latvia. There was memeorial Concentration camp now German city Brema sponsor rebuilding of this place and instead of that there will be memorial monument for German soldiers.

Balts have traumatic past and it is easy to manipulate them but what is German aim in such provocations. They sponsor memorials for German soldiers in former German Nazi Death camps and in the same moment are not likely to deffend Balitc states in case of Russian invasion.

News / Poland has an old ambition to become a regional power [37]

What is interesting 50% of Germans think that they shouldn't help Baltic states in case of Russian invasion. 35% of French share this opinion and 20% of British. (Baltic states are memebrs of NATO)

Several Russian and european politicians advice Poland to not stand up in one line with Balitic states... French diplomats claimed that they are not going to die for Ukriane, Germans support them. British diplomats want Ukraine in NATO but they slowly relent when they see resistance on continental europe. Americans in this part of europe always were positive power but unfortunately they are in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I hoped that I am going to live in calm and relaxed times. I was so wrong.

Regardles of wishful thinking we see on this forum, those who like USA claim that USA is going to be strong and those who don't like USA ...

IMO USA is not going to backrupt and it isn't wishful thinking.;)

Paradoxically Chinese help a lot for Americans. They have bought so many american bonds ... now they don't have choice.

This article is hyperobolic in almost all points.

Law / Coal Alternatives in Poland: The new electricity market [21]

Good financial institution which can help you in investment in proecological infrastructure/energy

bosbank.pl/?page=ecology

"Bank Ochrony Środowiska S.A. offers a wide range of credit facilities for financing investments in environmental protection."


If you succesfuly end your investment in wind turbines it gives you nice profit. There is one problem they are unstable. Wind doesn't blow every day so there is need to hold power in reserve in result if there is too many turbines system is very unstable. However energetic distributors are obliged to buy it for higher price so it isn't bad business. In my opinion it is time for other sources of green energy.

UK, Ireland / Come-back of Polish people from the UK - any exact figures? [2]

I don't havr anny current figures (new one) but it is noticable that we have more emigrants coming back to Poland. Companies get CV's from emigrants in UK. If you are looking for old topics there were somewhere discussions about it.

What is good that people with financial expirience are going back in result of current crisise, this is plus of this unpleasant for us situation.

My sister was rebuilding terrace and was looking for profesionals to do it and there was plenty of guys who had just came back from foreign country - lauborers are coming back too.

News / Abkhazia and South Ossetia are independent states now! Poland reaction? [236]


In my opinion Poland should act inversely to advices given by some "dark" members of this forum.

If you want to talk about morals. In my opinion many Georgians was expelled from SO. It should be checked who started this mess. We need to remember that it is Russia officialy crying that SU was such dream and that in future gas pipelines are going to be their tanks. We can't accept such actions because there is Russian miniority in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine. In integral parts of their countries may appear some troubles. It is the best thing to try to solve this issue in way that Georgia will be last country with such problems. Because Lavrov with his proposal sounded more like pre WWII leaders.

Independent Georgia is in europe and usa interest. It is good that european commision has decided to help this country in rebuilding. They should have right to make their own choices.
