News / The past and future of Poland. Poland is lost. [113]

Sean BM, I fully agree with you. I have just been to Poland and I was totally impressed how things are going on there...I saw lots of steps done by the Poles, of course, with help of the EU (like Ireland), I saw people laughing, but I also heard people discussing the mentality change (due to the translation of my Polish wife).

I think some things will never change in Poland. Hospitality and the sense for education. It makes Poland so wonderful and fresh.

Most people benefit from globalisation, but please let the foreigners out. How stupid can people be!

News / Poland's Future Includes Fewer Poles, More Foreigners [324]

Would everyone like to go back in the past? Let me tell you something about the past. British Empire has been supported by a global British seapower. When British warships explored the world in th 17th century (of course later than other European countries) lots of people in Africa didn't know what poverty was. When imperialism started in 19th century globalisation had another face. Slavery and exploitation were two sides of one coin. British history is full of that stuff, similar to other European countries. If you foreigner 4 and all the others talk about poverty and full houses here, I can only laugh. I correct my statement a little bit:

There has never been a time so many people can benefit from globalisation. It is only possible because we have peaceful times apart from a few exceptions. So don't tell us stories here!

News / Poland's Future Includes Fewer Poles, More Foreigners [324]

Well, who is benefitting, Foreigner 4? You blame other participants of this discussion for being imprecise, but are you better? You didn't answer to important historic contributions. You ask me when and in what contexts you talked about full houses and poverty to give the next provocative question about the topic leading us to believe that you are not a generalist. You know exactly the metaphor of the full house and your comment couldn't be unanswered. Think on the wisdom:

Each beginning of a war is a wrong word. Do you want to say: Freedom is important for all people over the world, but please limit her to those who I or we like. It is nonsense!

News / Poland's Future Includes Fewer Poles, More Foreigners [324]

One can ask with subtle tendencies. Later these people are surprised and ask the question: What have you read in my words? Because they don't answer.

Globalisation is the world's growth, nothing else. Since that movement people have been more aware of what happens on the other side of the world. It has lots of bad side efects, but you cannot turn it back.

News / Poland's Future Includes Fewer Poles, More Foreigners [324]

Sorry, but globalisation is immigration. What are we talking about? The time of national economic agendas has just gone by...each country needs people who come as a stranger to translate the language webs made by globalisation.

Sorry, I recognised too late that people here still differ between two words of one phenomenon!

News / Poland's Future Includes Fewer Poles, More Foreigners [324]


I partly agree with you, but sometimes people make lots of words about nothing, too. So what is your agenda for those who cannot accept immigrants or have problems with them? To listen to them is one point, to solve their problems is another point. I give you my impression of your whole contributions here in this thread:

Step by step you put out the same questions with new words to let them unanswered. Foreigner4, you ask why all must be valued in black or white, yeah? You represent the pseudo-intellectual "as well as" view to make people think about specific points. That is okay. But you never think your points from the end. You like playing with fire like an arsonist. I repeat my position. Globalisation has been immigration from the beginning. There are people who name this long process civilisation. And there are people, foreigner4, whose names are programmes. Is it the record you like or is it the general topic of foreigners you like?

News / Poland's Future Includes Fewer Poles, More Foreigners [324]

If you all had to live in a country where are less chances, you would also search for better chances abroad. That was past,that is present, that will be future. Globalisation has always been there. There have always been people who could not cope with immigration as well as people who integrated strange people successfully. I do not marginalize people's concerns over increasing immigration, but I say clearly, you cannot profit from globalisation on the one hand, and close your country doors on the other hand. We have an interdependent world with interdependent partners. If you have any doubts of global profits, so go out, leave Britain and you will have new chances and better money. If you are not interested, stay at home.

You cannot realize an equal world. You can work for it, but there will always be differences. Along historic perspectives I say directly that Europe should not cry about too many strangers after having made so much money from imperialism.

Interesting and partly wrong. Look back at the 16th century. So Gary Busey you are Polish? Do you live in England? And what about you foreigner4?

News / What are the economical chances of Poland? [30]

Discussion? What discussion? You have just made your points. Any doubts? Globalisation doesn't work in that way. Globalisation is not always fair and a free market still an illusion, but without globalisation Poland would not get any money from the EU. The only problem is that this money is dirty enough to destroy Polish culture and cultures worlwide. But that is another story.

You are right, but it is science-fiction!

News / Poland will take half a century to catch up with the West [240]

I am not sure where it is better to live. We are just thinking about leaving the country back to Poland. Why? I think that the living standard in Poland is not so far away like some people try to make me believe here. And democracy has always been a process of learning - stupid politicians are everywhere. So what?

The atmosphere here is getting worse and worse - I think Great Britain was too service-oriented within the last years. They have lost all important key sectors in industrial businesses. It is a big history - you can explain the decline with the 19th century. There was a big crash, but nobody has learnt from the financial crisis of those days. My impression is now that Polish people are the scapegoats.

News / ENGLISH STILL PROFITABLE IN POLAND? [78]

My experience is that language schools in Poland don't have any interest in any progress of their students. It is a real business. Warsaw has more than 300 schools - there is a big bubble as well as in Cracow. I am sure that in cities like Cracow the oversupply will prick the bubble. The better schools will survive, unprofessional schools will disappear. Nevertheless it's worth teaching there.

News / ENGLISH STILL PROFITABLE IN POLAND? [78]

It is a matter of quality. And teaching is also a matter of character. If you have no passion, let it ...and by the way ...native speakers are not always better...it is nonsense.

And I know some of those adventurous guys who teach in Warsaw and who try to catch some Polish girls. Mostly they fail...

Real Estate / Angel city Development in Krakow [33]

Hello Sean BM,

do you know any prices for the square metre?
And do people have to pay a deposit firstly? And what about
the partnership of the developer with Lehman Brothers? (See homepage...)
I have also noticed that there are no windows in the bathroom. Danger of
mould?
Photos have no evidence at all. It is said that there will be more developers in
Cracow who have to go to the cuckoo soon. I would be not too naive and I recommend everyone here not to invest without any bank information about the developer.

Real Estate / Angel city Development in Krakow [33]

Yes, we are just thinking about an investment in Cracow. It is not so easy to find the right object. The project looks great, but as we all know...everyone has to check all details thoroughly. Our bank consultant recommended us to wait a little bit. In May or June it will be the best time for an investment. We will see.

Real Estate / Angel city Development in Krakow [33]

Laugh - you are right. But things would not go better if I betrayed myself being a professional. And just getting frustrated...I don't know whether it is the better attitude. Angel City...if ...nomen est omen...we will be in heaven soon...? Or we are damned to fail.

Real Estate / Budimex Murano development (central Warsaw) Phase I [38]

Very interesting this thread. I think that is always a bit difficult to renegotiate a contract, but worth trying. Due to my plans which change from an investment in Cracow to Warsaw (and vice versa) daily I would like to know what a valorization clause means...please, help an unexperienced half-baked!

Law / Poland: the most attractive European country for future investors [55]

To continue the discussion...I am sure Poland will have a better future than other countries in the EU. And Poles are clever enough to avoid any milking from abroad.

Law / Poland: the most attractive European country for future investors [55]

Sorry for my delay...SeanBM....here my answer...
My expectation for Poland's future is positive because of its high potential of young people. Poland has the youngest population in the EU.
People work hard on a good education. Of course, it will take time to get international standards here, but it will work. Furthermore Poles are used to be not too demanding what means that they will cope with that crisis better than other European members. Most people are hardworking and ambitious.

There aren't any incentives by the state to become lazy. So Poles are always forced to find solutions in their life. That's the point why so many entrepreneurs do work here on their own...and of course ... why so many people have to work abroad. But it is amazing how improvisation works in Poland. The main question is whether they will be able to reintegrate well-educated Poles who are just collecting important experiences abroad. They should make them come back as soon as possible.

Last, but not least...it is noteworthy that history seems to repeat itself. While there was a big crisis in Europe during the 14th century Poland began to grow economically as well as politcally . So let us see...I would bet...yeah...

Law / Poland: the most attractive European country for future investors [55]

I don't agree with you. Polish education is quite good. If I remember correctly, Poland took the second place due to the Pisa-Research...I do not think that Poles have paid any bribes before.

Law / Poland: the most attractive European country for future investors [55]

You cannot compare all things...baskinsrobin...the world is just turning to...I do not know where to, but I am sure that Poland will have overtaken some other European countries in 2020. As SeanBM mentioned, Poland shows world standard and all people from abroad have alreade noticed this point....except some Poles who are still thinking they are hundred years behind...

Law / Poland: the most attractive European country for future investors [55]

Given, that you are right, TheOther, pushing the thesis that Poles who stay in Poland want to set up communism once again - don't you think that we haven't already introduced communism in the world? Think on the state-owned banks in America and all over the world. During the financial crisis lots of banks were grabbed by the state, cause they have to be consolidated once again. I do not see any sharper tendencies to communism in Poland. Compared with Germany, Poland is the old capitalistic devil...

Law / Poland: the most attractive European country for future investors [55]

Well, we are just talking about the death of old ideologies? What's next?

Law / Poland: the most attractive European country for future investors [55]

Resurrection? What resurrection do you mean? The only resurrection I can see is the resurrection of a debt policy. It is a poor policy. Capitalism has brought us to madness.

In former times, nations went into a war, if they had too much debts. Nowadays we continue piling debts for the next generation, what is even better, but not good.

There is no decision between a system of structural shortness (communism) or senseless abundance (capitalism), there must be something between those poles...and here I come back to Poland. Its state isn't as bad as you mentioned.

Law / Poland: the most attractive European country for future investors [55]

Just back from Poland...Crisis? People talk about it, but they work as hard as before. My fresh impression is that people have no time for this crisis...there is too much to do.
