Poland biggest problem [125]
1. Not enough cash.
We are fukin poor. We are doing anything anywhere, for many young people is much better to do anything in the UK instead of hard working in Poland. And they are right.
2. International relations.
Nobody cares about Poland, how if our president doesn't speak English (and his wife does)?
Also - we have no ambassadors in over 20 countries (and I'm not talking about Africa, jungle or Mars, there are no polish ambassadors in Athens, Seul etc. including 2 countries i EU and 2 another from NATO + much much more).
That's why we're involved in stupid wars in Iraq or Afghanistan and getting 10x less from the USA than Turkey for allowing Americans to use their bases and nothing more (and don't forget that the Turkey is a 99% muslim country wich was involved in killing kurdish people).
I'm not even writing about Israel (3,000,000,000 USD yearly for military purposes). Poland with soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan is getting 100x less (3,000,000 USD). So we can buy two good tanks per year or so.
NO I DON'T think this is a good way for making cash, BUT I just wanted to show how ignored we are.
See VISAs to the USA also. Most of people who wanted to move from Poland just moved, but we will still have VISAs.
There's a topic of F16s and the offset also.
etc. etc.
3. xenophobia
See number 2 ;-)))
4. THIS COUNTRY IS JUST BORING.
for example I'm living in city with population of 180,000 and we have ONE swimming pool (older than my grandpa) etc. I think that's because PEOPLE HERE ARE BORING, that's the point, but anyway kids - if want to have fun here - take drugs.
You can buy an exotic car (like Opel Calibra for 700 USD, very popular "sport" car nowaydays, lol) and drag racing, but there are no roads for that, if You drive over 60 mph in city I'm sure You will lose your wheels soon.
You can buy a bike, but here are no bike tracks. Oh, and ask me first where to ride, because there are areas where some people are trying to steal bikes all the time (tried to steal mine about four times, they are "working" about 600 meters from police headquarters).
You can go to pub for non-smokers, but You won't find any.
There are no parks (if are Russians built them when my mother was 6 years old or something) the ONLY entertainment here is shopping, every weekend about 70% of people or even more are not even shopping but walking and watching stuff for sell (You can buy nice shoes for 300-400 PLN, month income of MOST of people here is not more than 1500 PLN, that's why they're just watching).
The rest is watching TV.
Otherwise most of them think Americans are stupid. But we ARE copying American lifestyle not Americans Polish...
And I believe that's better for us. Someone said that we are "losing its own identity". I'm not sure what does that mean? Drinking or what? What makes our identity so special?
