News / Why the American economy is not going to fail - take a lesson from Poland [48]

No war ever helped anyones economy

WW1:USA richer than ever after the war end with England,France owing huge amounts of money
WW2:Before the war unemployment in USA 10%,during the war 0%.Increase of profits by armament sales,GB owing huge amounts of money to USA.US prosperity,american dream.Marshal plan possible.

Every war hepled US economy.Gulf war in 1990,Iraqi freedom operation in 2003.Don't you see how much the stocks rise every time a new war is declared?

Guys american economy simply needs a new war to breath.Obama proposes a new war in Pakistan,Mc Cain's agenda contains a war against Iran.Without war there can be no burst for US economy.

American IQ is only 99.So most of the intellectual capital to invest lies outside US and companies know that.(why do they prefer outsourcing?).Europe has intellectual capacity(mobile innovations in Finland despite low population) to stand on its feet and Russia has huge resources which can protect.China has the cheap workforce.So USA can rely only on its army to get a result that is gain better conditions for borrowing money and selling its products.

Travel / PLANES VERSUS TRAINS ~ WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? [32]

It depends.For distances less than 6 hours by train,trains are better.For distances more than 6 hours planes are better.There is gray zone for distances between 6-12 hours where train prices are competitive to plane prices unless there are cheap plane flights.

I noticed that in Germany there are no cheap flights between the german cities and maybe this is a deliberate decision to support the DB.Also there are no cheap flights between german cities and Switzerland,Austria,Czech Republic or Poland which fall into the grey zone of 6-12 hours.

I guess that if sb wants to start a cheap flight between Berlin-Krakow or Munich-Poznan or Hamburg-Prague,he will get into trouble with german authorities and buearocracy.

If you look at polish railway network you can easily distinguish the borders of Germany to Russia in 1914.That is the former german part of Poland has a much more dense railway network than the former eastern part.

UK, Ireland / What is in Poland that England doesn't have? [142]

and the sense that something dreadful bordering on the absurd is just about to occur whenever I stand in front of any clerk or get in touch with any customer service in Poland

Like seeing the boobs of the clerk?

News / Should Poland let in refugees from USA ? [80]

How would they do that?

A Pole can smell a terorrist miles away.

If only there was a special test.

You ask them like US do to issue visa.

History / Why we talk about Nazis not Germans [138]

It's like as if the war ended in 1945, and then u lot went into collective coma until 1990, u then woke up with WWII timeline still so vivid in your heads.

I say move on, get a life.

I suppose people in the west have had about 45 years more than u did to indulge themselves, enjoy liberty and the fruits of private property and free enterprise, which by now have made WWII a distant memory.

I propose to forget Holocaust.It is really very distant and outdated.

History / Why we talk about Nazis not Germans [138]

Nazism could arise only in Germany

how about Italy?

No.Mussolini did not even take measures against Jews.(he proposed some law after huge pressure from Berlin,he was reluctant to oppose Jews).

History / Why we talk about Nazis not Germans [138]

It is simple.Nazism could arise only in Germany as bolshekivism could arise only in Russia.However it was one possibility for Germany,it does not mean that Germany could not have followed another way.Instead Germans chose Hitler.

The ones who fought knew very well what they fought for and shared this vision deeply.

Genealogy / Do I look Polish? (Part II -- Much more detail than other topic) [109]

Polish people have all kinds of noses and all kinds of eyes

There are kinds of nose shapes and eye shapes which appear in higher frequency in Poles than in other folks and these are characteristics to distinguish them.

For example this girl in the photo would have typical polish look(and I can show you photos of girls with typical polish look) if her features were not smoothed by another mix.

white Causasian

Keep dreaming.White Caucasian includes Slavs,Germanics,Mediteraneans and a few more.And between Slavs there are more subdivions,for example between western Slavs-eastern Slavs-Southern Slavs and sub-subdivisions when we enter nations for example Czechs look different than polish but of course more close to polish than the Germans.

It is like saying that a small fish has more similarity to another small fish than it has to a shark.

Anyway with descriptions like white Caucasian you do not get too far unless you want to distinguish in very grob way.I mean it is obvious that she is white caucasian,she does not expect you to tell her.
