News / Lech Walesa is not a democrat and this statement proves it. [24]

Mugabe is a nutbag in land were dictators are the norm, he was a hero prior to 1980's and for many throughout the 90's and then turned out to be narcissistic spineless bloodthirsty thug. In a European context Walesa was a hero and then turned out to be a pr1ck, sort of like Joe the Plummer becoming president

All they have in common, is their coming from something that was initially good and then....
The usual cycle, that's why I showed the footage.

That was meant sarcastically.

Try explaining that to an African, it sounded like a racist rant to me.
Also Walese was a big admirer of Thatcher, the one who backed a Chilean who was a narcissistic spineless bloodthirsty thug so....

Poland's leftwing voices are being silenced

The sacking of Przekrój's left-leaning editors is the latest in a narrowing of public debate to the neoliberal viewpoint

After 1989, eastern Europe was supposed to join the club of so-called "normal countries". From now on, we were told, there would be free speech, a free press and free debate, all prevented during the years of communist oppression. But in practice, this free liberal debate is anything but.

These days, whenever someone in the post-communist countries of eastern Europe tries to criticise the changes that their country have undergone, the tendency is to ridicule, or worse, silence them. We're all middle class now, we are told. Start your own little enterprises, consume and shut up. Those trying to discuss a solution to the current crisis other than the orthodox austerity measures is quickly dismissed.

Ok man, I hear you.

I didn't know you were a racist. Africans never lived in trees; monkeys do. Is that what you mean?
btw people in China and India (as well as parts of Africa) had highly developed societies when we Europeans were painting ourselves blue and eating berries.

Yea, I was going to make this point. He was being racist with his rant.

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

Ok, non religious Canadian PIS type person? What do see as the solution to modernity, getting poor and going backwards?

no it is not. not having two bathrooms, two cars and a big tv does not make you poor.

Oh sorry pip, you are right. The mass emigration is just for fun, they are all sight seeing and looking forward to getting home to their two bathrooms and two cars.

No wonder he has such admiration for Thatcher.

when Solidarity – one of the unions who played a key role in the 1989 uprisings – recently protested against the government's raising of the pension threshold from 65 to 67 years, its co-founder Lech Walesa said in an interview that he'd have liked to have seen the police face down the demonstrators. Such robust protests were legitimate if directed against a dictatorship, he said, but couldn't be tolerated in a modern democracy.

Poland is not a poor country- but it has many poor people according to western standards.

so, it's poor.

so no poland has not sunk to the lows of the west... yet

typical PIS attitude, I suppose all you have to do is pray more and harder, and hate outsiders.

Real Estate / Buying a flat in Krakow; prices are still falling? [200]

My mistake man, I thought those phony grants, that pay the interest for 7 years had ended in April 2012; they are not officially over for three more months. That's why the prices haven't fully fallen yet.

Real Estate / Buying a flat in Krakow; prices are still falling? [200]

What is the story on property values in Krakow proper - going up or down?

ober-haus.pl/files/pl/files/en/reports/actual/Ober-Haus%20Polish%20Cities%20Apartment%20Price%20Index%20September%202012.pdf

According Ober-Haus Real Estate Advisors data, in September 2012 apartment prices* have decreased the most 0.8% in Gdańsk and this brings the average apartment price down to EUR 1,643 per sqm. In September the other cities also saw decreases from -0.4% in Warsaw and Cracow to -0.1% in £ódź. Poznań kept the price from last month. However due to strengthening of the zloty, the prices in euro actually increased moderately. During the last 12 months the price of apartments has dropped from 7.7% in £ódź to 2.4% in Warsaw. From the highest apartment price level and until September 2012, apartment prices drop from 12.5% in Warsaw to 33.9% in £ódź.

UK, Ireland / Unemployed Poles in Ireland : a crash course in milking the system [323]

Desolation Row. Listen to Bob Dylan...he will explain it better.

ahhaahahahahahah. The song is about being an outsider, living in the absurd, and the lonely alliance of people who think differently etc. I can't see how you can get some redneck manifesto out of it.

Now at midnight all the agents And the superhuman crew Come out and round up everyone That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory Where the heart attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene

I think the superhuman crew could relate to you and the rest of the BNP

Nobody gives a flying **** about it in England.

Maybe we give a flying **** because it's "our" country; its a worldwide phenomena throughout human history, that natives give a **** about their country being occupied by imperialist. I'm sure if a Russian native told a Belorussian "You guys have been fighting over it for God knows how long and its the same trivia that matters to nobody else but yourselves and your puffed up egos"

their reply would be similar to what I made. Sure, the fighting has gone on for long enough and it's over forever, thankfully; but when some sh1t stirring little englander tries to make a not so subtle remark about what he thinks is the Irish "mainland" or tries to insinuate that the fighting was all in our heads and nothing to do with the fight for independence against an invading enemy; well then it's a duty to be defensive. "We" don care if you never gave a sh1t about what goes on in another country but don't deny that your country is 100% guilty for what happened. The war is over and no one won, so respect the silence.

And "YOU" stick to the topic.
Apartment prices are going down slowly but surely.

Work / Minimum basic salary in Poland [96]

Its certainly gone up since the 1,200 you used to complain about a year ago.

(mr developer)
I never stated the wages in Poznan before,
Central Statistical Office of Poland (GUS) provided in 2009 that 65,35% of Polish wages are below Polish avarage wage and this is a fact.

The most common wage was 2.091,35 (about 700USD) All these are Gross so the minumum wage net , would be around 1200 zl Dole 560 zl

Will I be able to do well with 5000 PLN a month?

net?? if not, you'll be fine anyway, tiny one bedroom apartment outside the city.

Average earnings of £2,000 a month in the UK dwarfs the typical wage of £635 in Poland.

Even after shelling out for the higher cost of living in the UK, there is still more money to be saved.

UK, Ireland / Unemployed Poles in Ireland : a crash course in milking the system [323]

The Mail was a great fan of fascism in the 1930s, and that vein of intolerance and bigotry is always at, or just under, the surface of that scurrilous rag.

the had a bad reputation for for being anti Irish and now they sell in Ireland, pathetic.

About 45,000 people from the east European country were recorded as settling in Britain last year, despite the fact the UK is still in the grip of a recession."

it's obvious. Whats wrong

UK, Ireland / Unemployed Poles in Ireland : a crash course in milking the system [323]

I,m pretty certain that if a British Hitler ever came to power ,the Daily Mail would be his most loyal mouth piece.
In relation to the Poles abroad, it was obvious for me that they would not return permanently to Poland. The article is basically truthful in relation to the disgracefully low wages in Poland, but it is written for the Bulldog Brits, who would probably be eating each other if it wasn't for foreigners.

The talk of Poles returning was all relativist hype, on the one hand the Polish government were bragging about how great Poland had become in order to win votes, and on the other,the Brits were speculating their returning home in an attempt to silence little englanders. The obvious truth in the middle was then left to right wing rags like the Daily Mail,sad.
