Language / How does Polish sound to you? How to make Polish sound more pleasurable? [100]
This is true for east Germany, where Russian as a second language is still much more widespread than English. In western Germany, English lessons have been compulsory from 4th and 5th grade on for a very long time (since the late 1960's, AFAIK). So no, the knowledge of English amongst Germans is usually much better than the foreigners' knowledge of the German language.
Of course... ;)
as their English is rarely as good as the educated foreigner's command of German

News / JEW YOUTH SHOULD CLEAN UP THEIR ACT IN POLAND [420]
I understood that, but I've seen on various occasions already that you make a distinction between Jews and the rest of the population. IMHO, that's wrong. The Polish Jews were Polish nationals, the Dutch Jews were Dutch nationals, and so on. I just wanted to point that out.
That's the scary part, I totally agree. How civilized people could (and still can) sink to such an inhumane level is beyond me.
I was talking about the total of Jewish victims

The number of Polish victims stands at 6 million (depending on which source you use), of which 3 million were of Jewish faith. It weren't only Jews that were killed during the Holocaust.
the Jewish counter for WW2 stands on or near 6 million, whereas the the counter for Poles for that period stands at 3 million

History / Poland Around 1883 [30]
In my experience, the Polish state archives are usually the way to go for genealogical research (they are very helpful and not too expensive), but I thought that the original poster wanted some information about German/Polish town names, history and so on. For that the Posen-L web site and especially its Wiki section is one of the premier sources on the web.

This is exactly what I'm trying to preach here all the time - often without success. There seems to be a widespread tendency in Poland to ignore historical facts when it comes to the era of the partitions.
But if you want to do historical research you have to go by the name that it was called during the time period you are interested in.

Well, why then did you claim that "All this has been done by Poland alone"?
Possible, the only ties it needs are economic ones based on industries and corporations and nothing more. Poland itself needs no outside help if so.

All this has been done by foreign corporations and with the help of the Polish government, which created the right conditions for investment. Don't be so naive to believe that your country doesn't need any outside help. As soon as the multinational corporations decide that it's more favourable for them somewhere else they drop Poland like a hot potato. Ask the Irish about Dell... . Besides: what would happen to the unemployment rate and other indicators, if the majority of Poles from the UK, Ireland and Sweden would come home?

True, but compared to a few years ago not 10 people are applying for the job but 10000. The competition is much fiercer and the companies are taking advantage of this. You work longer for less money. Scrappleton is right: the job market is horrible right now. And this is also true for the self-employed.
There is always work for people with the right skills.
