History / Poland before WWII or Poland now what would you choose? [390]

Well, I would have to write an essay and I would rather let freebird explain it to you. That is if you are really interested.

Somehow I think that you are not ready. Freebird does not seem to be emotionally attached to Poland unlike yourself and that makes a huge difference. He is taking a more objective position, therefore I am able to understand him better. He is also more realistic about what Poland can or cannot do. You are a little bit sentimental, with a lot of wishful thinking which is probably related to the Poland's past. It is all nice but in a long run there is a higher chance that you might set your self for being dissapointed, because you are not paying enough attentions to facts. I am speculating here and speaking in general, but I think I am pretty close to describing what I have observed reading some of your posts. Therefore, the is little room for a dialog with some Polish people. Close minds could be very frustrating to deal with.

got myself of this one;)

I edited my post, so look above;), I just spoke in general terms.

But you can ask me for more explanations if you like.

I never said that it was. I happen to agree with his way of thinking more then with yours. It is just the way it is.

As for being less attached emotionally, I think it actually helps to think in a logical way. Just my opinion. I think I already explained that:).


that is just an example. As far as I know Lvow, or any other cities which used to belong to Poland are on another's countries territory. Correct me if I am wrong. How you going to bring those cities back? do you have a plan: A,B,C. You need to have a strategy:).


sure you can talk about it, but you need to stay within the reality of facts.


I would not know and I would not want this exchange of ideas to become a competition. I wish Poland all the best but I also know that there is a lot of room for improvement in many areas and this is what young people should concentrate on, instead of dreaming about : I wish we had Lvow/Wilno and so on. This is not a main stream of the Polish foreign policies either, so it does sound really strange to me.


Well, he have heard it at home for sure. Most children follow their parent's political views.
Again, with so many young people still making other countries their home, how can one even imagine invading Ukraine? Or any other country for that matter. Poland is not a military empire/ nor an economic one

I am done here. I think I made my point very clear.
PS. calling your opponent names in the discussion is just not classy at all and you might want to reconsider, since you don't present yourself as a serious partner.

sure, but keep your cools and try to be more open to the opinion of others.

News / Polish nursery rhyme book says Germans smell and gipsies sell their children... [28]


It is hard to say, but what I have observed so far the problem is not keeping is away from children (easy to to since you, as a parent have some agency to what the child is exposed to) but the reaction of some people who see nothing wrong with it.

It is racist, it is outdated, it is just not cool anymore to have something like that printed. It is simply a low blow to a fairly good children lit in Poland.

Real Estate / Cancelling Tenancy Agreement Before End Of Contract Query [10]


sounds like a good advice. I think that he was just trying to scare you and if you stay within the one months notice period I think you should be fine, since this is what the law dictates.

Keep it cool and don't let the landlord intimidate you. As long as you leave the place the way you found it you should be OK.

He has not base for taking you took court if you fallow the civil code rules.

Real Estate / Cancelling Tenancy Agreement Before End Of Contract Query [10]

well, you got the law behind according to the advice you have received from the layer, so I think you should be OK. From what I understand, he has not right to do that.

If in doubt, have somebody with fluent Polish on Saturday at your place for the purpose of negotiation, support and as a witness (that should put him in place I hope) and if that does not make you comfortable enough, change the locks and stay until you able to leave.

I would put my foot down if I were you and leave when it was initially agreed upon, unless you choose otherwise. Law is on your side and he can talk all he wants, unless you received the wrong advice from the lawyer. Double check to make sure.

DO NOT LET HIM INTIMIDATE YOU:)

good luck.

USA, Canada / Why Americans of Polish orgin do not exist in the USA politics? [34]

From what I understand politics is a "career" in the US. I have watched a documentary on it and I think that Poles just don't have the tradition nor the skills to par it up with other political wizzards. Is is possible that Poles in general are happy with non-political achievements in the US?
