Real Estate / 15 reasons why the Polish real estate market will crash soon [258]

True, the cost of materials is falling much much more than 50% ;)

in Poland ?

stop clutching at straws. nothing gets cheaper in Poland... especially building supplies.

if there is no perceived crisis in Poland... why would they adjust prices.

Love / What do Polish women think of feminism? [99]

A woman, by design of her body and spirit, is meant to compliment the man, be his helper, she is not created for leadership.

I can think of a few women in the present and from the past, who may beg to differ.

Travel / Travel: Wrocław-Berlin-Wrocław [10]

The trip took only around 3.5 hours, so it was not bad.

that's good going for a bus/minibus... and much quicker than by rail. what's the name of the company you used. i might find myself using them.

News / Clamping down on Internet gambling in Poland? [11]

However, nobody has answered my basic question as to whether and to what extent the control of Internet content (not necessarily gambling) is technically and financially feasible.

the uk government is talking about banning all illegal (music) downloads in the next couple of years. quite how they will do it, i don't know

News / 14 year old rape victim from Warsaw denied abortion! [348]

that I am here "debating" with a bunch of selfish goons from hell

but people in general who speak in favor of abortion, are selfish cowardly abominable pieces of sh*t, and as stated, their worthless opinions go in the sh*t-dumpster

you have already made your mind up about other people and their opinions. expressing yourself the way you do about other people's thoughts and opinions is not debate.

you are not "debating with a bunch of selfish goons from hell", but with a random cross-section of Internet users, who may or may not share a general opinion.

it is always wise to at least consider the thoughts of others.

Life / Polish bureaucracy - it went to a new level, they ask to pay for search [21]

This bureaucracy is suffocating the country and bringing it down to its knees...

Yeah ! right. I sent 15 seconds in an office on monday. all because the counter was so far away from the door.
handed over a VAT form... got one in return... no queue... that was it.

News / Does Poland benefit from an Eastern, Western, or individualistic alliedship? [40]

All this has been done by Poland alone.

TheOther is correct. Google, Dell, IBM, Ikea and countless others didn't just pop over here on the off chance. They were invited and given all sorts of benefits, tax breaks etc. It's the outsiders that are helping Poland... all be it with Polish labour. It would be very naive to suggest otherwise.
