News / Does Poland count in Europe or is it ignored? [427]

If every single poles give 25 cents per day extra to the government, and you will pay for those neighbours who don't think they should pay anything then you can give back all the money to EU and speak very loud to them that PL don't need their money and still have a good budget to build stuff..

What do you think? Since it is so small amount of money, shouldn't be a problem that every one will pay this 25 cents a day?

Real Estate / What does 250,000 zl buy in Wroclaw? [30]

You need to define what do you mean by


Standard is very different, some old flat seems cheap but need to pour money in from time to time to fix anything you can think of. The flat itself can be nice, but the common area... you also need to know the ppl who live in the same block, sometimes you will be surprised. Also when things get old it need to be fix, if your neighbour can't afford or don't want to contribute the cost, then you will live in a broken place. There are many examples in some


in the centre of most big cities in PL.

You get what you pay for and 250K is not a big sum in 2009 (much better in 1989).

UK, Ireland / English people attitude towards Poles? [761]


Totally agreed. Always respect those who took the oppurtunity to try to find a better living condition, get a bit more experience than those who is just sitting and cry ppl come to their country and steal their jobs. As an employer, our policy is to recruit the person who can do the job best not nationality. However, the sad side of the story is that quite a big percentage of Poles who are serious to do something about their lifes left the country, and the crying ones or worst, those they think they can so much better than the job they are doing nowwithout understanding what is needed to take the position stay. Pls ask them to come back, there are always jobs for ppl who really want to work in PL.

Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]


Any transaction need to have a buyer and a SELLER!!! What you are saying suggest that foreigners come to Poland to force those people to sell them their properties. If those Poles who actually have properties to sell have the same opinion like those who don't own anything because they were born unfortunate, there will not be anything for you to complaint about.

By the way, just another 3 poles asking me to buy some apartments, they said they needed the cash and would give a good discount. If the price is good, I will again buy them and wait for the price go higher than sell them, that's what called investment. What can you do about it??

News / Rydzyk gets away with racism yet again [198]

News / Rydzyk gets away with racism yet again [198]



I agreed 100%. It will be not be an issue if he is just a normal monk in a village talking to his followers. Pls do not forget he is a very much public figure, having his own media, support by a relatively large political party (you know which one), get funding by government and openly supported by the head of state in this country (even his mobile business!). If he is a person as you describ, is there something wrong with those who support him?? Just 1 more point, he actually have the ability and already did affected voting result in this country few years back! so if political correctness is not his enviroment, then.....??

News / Rydzyk gets away with racism yet again [198]

I am really shock. A case like this still can have someone saying this is not offensive or racist. No wonder there are so many posts saying rasicim is not an issue in Poland.

No comment, say whatever you want, the world will judge and don't ask why so many people talking about stinky polish men (mainly in white society!). In their opinion is nothing wrong, just a joke.

Life / The first Polish movie I watched (I am Chinese). [24]

[quote=Kasz:
Why there is not may movies in china from poland?[/quote]

Do you know if any Polish film makers/distributors actually try to promote Polish film in China?? I don't think that people from China will be going around searching for Polish film to show by their own initiative, there are many offers out there.

Food / Does Polish pierogi also have its story of origin? [43]

Hi all,will it be possible that it came from the Mongolians??They did spend quite sometime in this part of the world...I don't know so I am not trying to argue, but maybe it is possible?

Life / Is private health insurance necessary in Poland? [9]

Yes, absolutely neccessary, don't count on anything public in this country. However, I didn't mean that you shouldn't go to public hospital, in most cases they have better equipments than a couple of private hospitals, but be prepared to pay some 'fees' if you want to be treated before you die.

News / JEW YOUTH SHOULD CLEAN UP THEIR ACT IN POLAND [420]

To be fair, when a group of teenagers of any nationalities go for a trip without their parents, there is a good chance that they will create a mess. However, the issue with these Israeli kids is that they grow up being told that the world owe them because of WWII, they are the victims forever. Whenever people want to point out any of their wrong doing, they just call it anti-Semitic. In fact, this is just the usual behaviour of Israelis, I bet before the came over to Poland, they were told that Poland belongs to them, thew owned most of the properties here, then expelled from this country, and everything were taken away...victims again!
