Life / Animosity between Poland vrs. Polonia? [98]
Most aren't but also most have been living in America since many years. There are very few "recent arrivals to U.S".
This is not Belgim. This country is changing very much every 5 years at least, so people who left more than few years ago usually don't really understand what's going on here. Anyway I think that anyone with citizenship should be able to vote but he is simply right on some things.
Do you honestly think that people in U.S who participate in Polish elections are second or even third generation Poles?

They know Poland as it is now.

And you expect to be treated seriously ?
I find the kmiot a f. idiot, who can't even understand one line of simple English text.
All you had to do was to say you were Polish. That's all.
And you expect to be treated seriously ?
Yes, definitly and this is especially true of the younger generation. I find young Polish people in England very nasty indeed

News / Radoslaw Sikorski (Polish minister of foreign affairs)- what is the deal? [5]
"Radek" always craed a lot about PR but I wouldn't say that British citizenship or American wife is a problem - the first one he took because of practical reasons and I don't think that his wife's nationality should matter especially that Sikorski is rather not a fan of servant mentality in Polish-American relations.

Only few thousand. Either communists or people, who fought for republican side, because Gerries supported the other one.
According to socialistic version of history.
Within the Brigades there were a significant amount of Polish volunteers.

History / THE POLES ON THE FRONT LINES OF WWII [92]
British write BS that they won WW2, when in fact they were 2nd rate force and half of "their" army were Indians, Negros, Poles etc. So instead of being grateful they try to downgrade achievments of people who fought for them... That's the worst kind of inferiority complex.
between someone who says Poles were useless

Real Estate / Interesting Article on Polish Real Estate [33]
In Romania people for average salary may buy X kg of sausage, in UK many more... I could go on forever...
But Germany has been in resession since years, their society is getting older - there is few young people...
If there is going to be serious global crisis then of course no but I doubt that It will happen. Many Poles think that this is some grand conspiracy but increase of prices is mostly natural - much bigger demand, higher salaries for construction workers etc.
Even oficially It's more than that + many people take cash under the tabel, many works abroad, so real average income is rather more like 3000 and there's many people (especially in big cities) making much more than that. Besides now people from "baby boom" (late 70's/early 80's) need flats and If a guy got married and his wife is pregnant he simply has to buy a flat - take 30-40 years MTG, beg relatives or something else but he simply need It no matter If It is really overpriced or not. Sure people who think that they can make the money forever just buying flats and selling them 6 months later are idiots but really "overheated" are only few small areas like Kraków old town, Wilanów etc.
in American the average cost of a house is six times the annual salary, in the UK it is nine times the average salary.

Germans living in Berlin earn more that Poles but in some districts of Berlin housing is on a par or even cheaper than in Warsaw.
But Germany has been in resession since years, their society is getting older - there is few young people...
Do you think the Polish housing market will escape a global recession unscathed or do you think prices might go down like everywhere else in the world?
If there is going to be serious global crisis then of course no but I doubt that It will happen. Many Poles think that this is some grand conspiracy but increase of prices is mostly natural - much bigger demand, higher salaries for construction workers etc.
the average salary is 2000 PLN per month.

There was massive conscription from the areas directly annexed into 3rd Reich (Upper Silesia, Pommerania, parts of Wielkopolska... ) of anyone, who had anything to do with Germany - German grandparent, father serving in Prussian army etc. And of course there were some other cases...
