52% Poles is unhappy about the situation in Poland. 31% thinks positively.

(Centrum Badania Opinii Społecznej (CBOS) (Centre for Public Opinion Research)).

Students, people with degrees, wealthy and from big cities estimate the situation in PL as good.

People with the lowest income, farmers and unemployed think it's really bad.

31% of respondents think that the situation will get worst in the next year.

Aww, but I thought EU membership would help avoid this trend!!

Do you know any farmer in the world who is not complaining? I would think with the flood of EU money going their way Polish farmers should be more satisfied.

An unemployed person, not an unemployed. Unemployed is an adjective of status. Still, I remain impressed by the writing skills of Poles on this forum. Well done guys, you know who you are.

52% is not that high. It depends who was, eh, polled.

Sorry, Seanus, but I don`t treat it too seriously. I used to try to speak/write nice English, the one I was taught at school and university, the decent language based on high literature and Queen`s speeches. Posh!

With the passage of time, I realised there is no need to be so polished up. It sounds too extravagant. I have seen incredible mistakes committed by native speakers, and nobody cared, including other natives speakers. I have seen language short-cuts which looked like mistakes but they weren`t because I asked learned guys and they said the curious usages of language were acceptable.

So, can you bear in mind that from now on we are going to use an unemployed as a singular noun, similarly to the plural the unemployed????

In this way we are creating a language precedence which is going to be used widely in 10 years time, not only by people in this forum but worldwide.

You have a chance to join us now!

you know who you are.

Please, don`t abuse us. We are not huju.

Hell yeah, I'll subscribe to that Pawian, no worries there.

Out with the puritans I say. Huju, isn't that an African tribe? LOL ;)

A language precedent. Whoops, I did it again.

Wheel out the peace pipe, pawian. It works wonders, it relegates stress to the background.

Poland has always had a very poor economy and Pol;and has always traditionally been a country from which people have run away and with good reason. Poland will never be rich and successful country due to its location, poor natural resources and climate.

You should try doing a similar survey in Britain and see just how many Brits are truly happy living here !
Seanus  15 | 19666

Good point! The figure would be quite low. The Brits like a good moan too.

I think, to be honest, that this is an instinctive reaction of Poles. Go with the negative if asked. I think that, were you to alert them to the good things in their country, they'd change their tune.

It was funny, I did an A-Z list of Polish associations and my list was much more extensive than theirs. They had all kinds of funny nonsense in there.

yes my girlfreind tells me there is no life there
SeanBM  34 | 5781

I will assume that your girlfriend does not come from there.
Only because she informs us that there is no life there.
So it begs the question if there is no life here, I mean there, how does she know?.
Or is it more like there was life there, when she was there but then she left and now there is none? .
In which case I suppose my next question would be, where was she coming from to get to there and inhabit the place before she left for Birmingham?

Your girlfriend is too clever for me.

Q 52% Poles: life in Poland is bad...

Don't worry, you'll get a missile shield in due course. That'll really help Poland, LOL.

As one German once said, Poles are either Romantics or Cynics, which pretty much makes sense as a cynic is just a disillusioned romantic. :)

52% Poles: life in Poland is bad...

And the other 58% are in another country......

Life may be better now that the shield is apparently only on standby. The forthcoming bout of negotiations with Iran will dictate the response.

Life may be better now

That won,t stop the Poles complaining about life......I am told its a national tradition....My Polish friends tell me never to ask anyone how they are unless you have an hour to spare....

Yeah, which is bad because I'm becoming a bad listener. They told me this in class (that they complain all the time) and I disagreed, being the professional thing to do. International relations n'all that.

However, yeah, their complaining really gets on my wick. When I get any moans from surveys, I just laugh them off. I really don't care anymore.

I don't handle negativity well. Negative energy consumes me (from others) so I push it away if anyone tries to thrust it on me.

I'm not interested in sob stories and self piteous gutrot. Positive stories more than welcome :)
