News / America: Take your missile base and shove it! [116]


At times it seems people want to be programmed, told how to think, to save them from the effort of having to think for themselves

Real Estate / Where to buy property in Warsaw, particular for reconstructions/development [2]

I am in the 3M but have sourced all the properties Ive bought through Anonse which has its real estate issue on a Wednesday. Ones listed in bold tend to be through an agent, ones listed in normal type are being sold privately.

It has become increasingly difficult here to find renovation projects being sold cheaply enough to resell for a worthwhile profit once work has been done

Good luck

Yes. Sort of agree. But then we did apparently vote for our leaders too which would suggest we dont really know what we are doing...

Life / Gas, petrol prices in Poland [42]


Europeans have been asking the same question for some time


Very close to what we are paying in the UK.

I rarely hear them complaining about petrol prices either. In fact I rarely hear them complaining about all the other price hikes the country has seen recently. Although there does some to be an increase in fare bunking...

Real Estate / Article: Poland becomes real estate leader [16]


Not really. It's just another factor

Ive got realestate in the area too and had been looking towards 2012 as my get out but this is based on a number of factors, not just the football

I am in Sopot now, talking to people about future investments and 2012 is definately part of the equation for them. They are feeling uncertain about it. But then again, some of them are spending huge amounts today that they probably wont get back tomorrow. I am not sure what to think but wont base my investments entirely on the football

When you are older, wiser and less niave, you will realise that its not all about making arguments

plk123 is right

And I am not in favour of the base either

Yes. As incompetent as some of the drivers they employed

It's also entirely possible to have a competent company bend over backwards to ensure health & saftey guidelines are adhered to, only to be let down by an incompetent member of staff.

Most tabacco kiosks sell lufkas which are like glass chillums. Apparently. My hippy dope smoking friends told me about. I had no idea what they were talking about but took their word for it. Is this what we are talking about? There is a green grocer down the road if you want to buy an apple

It's a place to buy hippy paraphernalia (hippy being synonym for dope smoker)

I would suggest telling everyone you meet that you feel there is a need for change and that you plan to vote for Obama. I would suggest telling them this as soon as you meet so as not to get off on the wrong foot. So to speak.

If that deosn't work then pick up a couple of maple leaf badges (pins in your speak) at the airport and pretend to be Canadian.

A leopard cant change its spots dude. People will know what ever you do

But kudos for recognising a need for change

Vote Obama

Life / Teens in Poland, their typical life, schooling, influences, etc. [32]

I think we see evidence of this on the forum. Perhaps not necessarily towards religion but to a holding onto traditional values and ways of thinking. Some are seeing 'Western' influence as negative and reacting unfavourably towards it
