yep looks like the Federal Reserve can't print dollars fast enough!


Sarkozy will have to send the Foreign Legion, French troops won't want to go to the mid-east to fight Uncle Sam's war - oops that's what Poland is for!

china, america, russia, israel...they are all a bunch of parasites as far as i'm concerned and i don't want to see a world ruled unilaterally by any one of these jackals, just like since the beginning of time they will bleed the world dry and use us (weak countries like Poland) for cannon fodder

News / Polish people reactions towards the last elections in Poland [59]


"The future is not a gift, it is an achievement. Every generation helps make its own future. This is the essential challenge of the present."

-Robert Kennedy


what's bad for some is good for others. Americans of Polish descent are more pro-PiS because PiS is more pro-American and less bullish on Europe, which mirrors the attitudes of Americans in general. Most Americans think Europeans are suspicious shifty half-gays who oddly enough prefer soccer to baseball and who smell funny and eat strange food.

But in reality Europe is the way to go: thin, sexy, shapely women, good munchies on every street corner, and much less likely to burp at the dinner table

News / Weak US dollar in Poland and other countries... [180]


to win over the USA you need control of resources, namely natural gas and oil. the oil-dollar cycle is what keeps the US military afloat. Iraq was invaded not only because they had oil but because they started selling their oil for euros instead of the dollar, which every OPEC country is theoretically required to do. as soon as Iran hinted that it is interested in trading oil for euros, it became the next target.


probably only because the US is going broke as we speak, the dollar is STILL falling. plus there arent enough troops to invade Iran, they would need a draft again just like during Vietnam..

News / Weak US dollar in Poland and other countries... [180]

the US has created many monsters over the years and now they are turning around to bite America on the ass. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow, no one to blame but the Neoconservative pinheads who are currently doing a splendid job of bankrupting what used to be a fine country. Just google the US national debt clock...


you are assuming Europe wants to get married to an out-of-control debt junkie who spends all of his money on guns and toys. Sounds like a marriage made in hell, no thanks, you can keep America haha..

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


in theory yes but many people successfully avoid it. for the last time dO NOT worry about getting drafted, your family in Oz are probably just scaring you for fun. if you left Poland at a young age there is no way they would have any record of your existence and therefore no place to send you a notice to report for medical screening, which would then establish your eligibility. relax, they dont waste time chasing long-lost Poles like you...

News / Poles in Iraq. What's the point? [160]


Polish soldiers in Poland are badly paid, but if they go to IRAQ they end up doing quite well for themselves. Most Polish troops are more pragmatic and worldly than the average Yank infantryman so yes most of them ae there for the money, some are there for bragging rights but I doubt many of them have delusions about liberating Iraqis or spreading democracy

Food / Is lamb big in Poland? [53]


usually chicken, sometimes lamb.


kabanos is usually either pork or chicken, sometimes turkey or boar. horse is rare, most consumers wouldnt want to eat it

News / The Maluch Car [34]

Its good as a recreational vehicle, and that's it. No one drove them because they were cool, but because it was all that was affordable. They are uncomfortable unless you are shorter than 165cm, and in accidents they have no safety value whatsoever so if you have a death wish it will be a good car for you. I would use it to get me around the campsite and to go get beer at the corner shop, but that is about it.

why are you waiting, just leave for greener pastures you fool

News / Third World War and the role of Poland [82]


impossible because neutrality is for countries that are strong and cohesive internally, like Switzerland or Sweden, Poland has usually been seen as weak and therefore easily manipulated. First the Russians raped us blind (but there were plenty of Poles who were happy to help in exchange for cushy party positions) and now Uncle Scam ownz us

:(
Poland's banks are mostly foreign-owned, your safe haven scheme will never work..

Life / What car would I get for £3500 in Poland? [5]

look up Allegro.pl then go to Automoto and search the cars (prices in Polish Złoty), it will give you an idea of what is selling for what, 3500pounds is a decent enough sum to buy a 1998 VW Golf for example

Travel / Warsaw bar scene [12]


note that being underdressed will get you refused entry into most clubs in the center. other than that no special ettiquette tips need be mentioned, Polish clubs are just like anywhere else.

I second the vote for Klubokawiarnia, unique Polish socialist-realist decor, good music, and a good crowd. Cinnamon has been the yuppie hangout of choice for a while now, Organza isn't so bad and there are plenty of pubs and clubs up and down the little street its on (ul. Sienkiewicza), which makes it a good place as any to start out..

insignificant margin, just call it 50-50

News / Poland 2007 Elections: PO Won, PIS second [232]


please be aware that this has been more up to the USA than Poland. I didnt expect PiS to pull it off anymore than I expect PO to pull it off. I know some feel strongly about the issue but some (like me) could really care less. Soon the dollar will be so weak that the US will be desperate for ANYONE to go there to shop so they can boost the economy and then they will let Poles and many other nationalities enter without visas...it will be the natural outcome of a sagging US economy not a result of some high-level talks between our leaders and theirs...

Travel / Going to Poland in a week... How much money to have a "good time"? [11]


don't be surprised, now that the dollar is at an all-time low. times have chjanged a LOT since 1993. Dinner at an average resteraunt in Warsaw will cost about 30-40 złoty for a normal meal including starter, of course much more in posher places. A cheap resteraunt (ie Vitnamese) will cost about 12-15 złoty per person...of course these prices are just for food.

its safe to say that they are a little "out of touch" with the current reality...Polish Americans think that schoolgirls in Poland still curtsey when meeting strangers and that Pewex shops are still in business....?


true that. u got a point there.

It's predictable-the Polish community (and I have known many of them personally) in the States is old-fashioned and anachronistic. That is the stereotype of the PiS electorate...

News / Poland 2007 Elections: PO Won, PIS second [232]


we gave them a chance and they caused shame and embarassment to many Poles. Say what you want, but any party who openly supoported the public financing of a very expensive and elaborate super-church (Swiątynia Bożej Opaczności)while the highways are falling apart (and new ones not being built) deserves to lose an election.


Woe to the nation that neglects its infrastructure and doesn't extend its third-world highway network...


some may beg to differ. having cordial and business-like relations with a neighbour (despite a bad past) is good politics, not licking ass. unlike some, who lick the ass of the US so shamelessly that we look like either grovelling fools or awestruck cooing babies who drool at the sight of a fancy fighter plane..
