OK, I don't care about this thread but for real, whoever uses this nick is a coward because it's obvious that he created this nick to hide his real identity.

History / Slavic vs Germanic thinking.... and the philosophical differences [251]

I was about to make a very bad joke about myself, "No wonder I am always in such conflict when it comes to decisions." But, I like your analysis much better! :-)

The way they all love you on PF, I won't be surprised if you start getting marriage offers soon, lol

Don't you guys dare attacking me now, softsong and I are friends.

News / US air base to be in Poland [193]

yes and no. Yes, because in the short run it will help to cut down the budget deficit but in the long run, we're gonna lose influence in important parts of the world which supply us with oil etc. and everything will be getting more and more expensive.

America needs jobs. We can no longer afford these overseas military bases. What are they, up to 800? This is where our deficit is, it's not in the social entitlements it's in these foreign military bases and defense contracts.

They will do it whether we like it or not.

You want discipline? You're living in the wrong country. America has never been disciplined, nor has it had a disciplined army. Germany is disciplined. Move to Germany if you want discipline.

You're dreaming. It used to be like that, not anymore. I lived in Germany long enough to know what I'm talking about.
America needs drastic changes and it's only possible with more discipline. You don't need to agree with me.

We dont need the US just Europe.

I won't add anything to it, just think how reliable your European "friends", France and Great Britain were back in 1939 when you really needed them. OK, we didn't help either but we didn't promise any help to begin with.

It will be the same story when Russians had bases

Not it won't. Ask the Germans in Ramstein, Kaiserslautern etc. and you will know the difference.
The Americans boosted the local economies in every area they're stationed in Germany while the Soviets didn't do jack sh*t for the Poles at all (except occupation of course).

In South Korea and Japan our forces have created enormous job opportunities for the local communities.

exactly the same situation as in Germany

I meant the jobs in the entire area where they'll be stationed. I lived in Germany and I can tell you that the presence of the US posts there is very important for any area they're located.

How many times do you want me to repeat it? I already told you at the beginning of this thread how I feel about it. This is actually all I wanted to say in this thread.

Tell me how they care. When they shamefully backed out of their missile defense agreement. Gave us FAKE equipment? A lot of care.

If this information below is true, it looks like you'll still receive your "care" after all

"they're unarmed right now they'll be armed again in a year or so once rotation is over and they are permanently placed there. But those will be the PAC-3 Patriots much much modern and effective"

and we have seen how the US treats our agreements

tell me, how?

Poland may be on some black list as you say, but much less so than almost any other NATO country. This can only make it much worse.

I don't know about that man. What's good for your safety, is that you don't have many Muslim looking people in Poland and it will be much harder for them to snick in and do something over there than for example in the US or UK.

What about terrorists/islamists/jihadists

I said earlier, since you guys are a part of NATO, you're already on their "black list". It's too late to worry about that 1.

As I said think of the bigger picture. International relations and foreign policy

You guys worry too much about the Russians. Who cares what they say? It's not like they're gonna start a WW3 over it? Look, you had to do what they told you to do long enough, don't you think? Why worry about them? The only realistic threat nowadays are the terrorists. Since you guys joined the NATO, you're already on their "black list" anyway, the US base won't change a thing about it.

Everyone must be aware that Poland is in a very important geopolitical location.

Do you already know where in Poland PB? I don't get any answers from this guy (he probably hates Americans).

Law / America takes leading investor spot in Poland [51]

Huh!?

all I was trying to say is that we already discussed about all this through our PM, that's it

at the end of 2009 the average salary for a man in Poland was 3557 zł and 2892 zł for a woman. While 10% of the lowest possible paid workers earner 1306,78 zł. Only 10% of people make 1300 (not 1000 pln) a month. In Warsaw average is 4500 zł while in the poorest Białystok, Kielce, Lublin and Olszyn 3000 zł.

OK, you must have made a huge jump from 2007 until now then. Before I left Poland, many people I was talking to, were only making around 1000pln and some even much less. A woman I've met in Borki, close to Radzyn Podlaski, was making 400pln working at the local grocery store. I asked her if that was a part time job and she said that it's a full time and even complained that she often had to work more hours without being paid for it. Just an example out of many PB.

Besides PB, don't go by the statistics, by the statistics an average American makes:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States

2,000 is nothing, a pack of cigarettes cost 6.50 Philly 9.00 in NY compare to 1.45 back in 1991-92. In Poland food is much cheaper (good food).

it is different in some other states PB. America is not only where you live and NYC or Chicago.

Do you know how much you'd be spending on food in NC (no joke and without a struggle)?
Around $200.00. I told you many times, you live in a wrong area.

You can rent a nice house (not a trailer) for about $400-500. Power and water bill around $60.00
(of course it depends on you) if you want to know more, let me know (tell you later), I don't feel like typing.
Oh, just to your information, you can get a carton of cigs for $28.00

I think, we went much further in exchanging our information about it in our PMs.
It is still 17 % in Poland and 14.3% in the US.

I'm tired of typing, do you really want me to paste our PM discussion into this forum?
These numbers are not really proving anything. You lived in both countries and so did I, we both know what this is all about. You have a regular job in Poland and if it's a job for about 1000 pln a month (very common in Poland) I don't need to tell you how far you'll get with that money. At the same time, most of Americans (lower type of jobs) make about $2k, you know and I know that you can easily survive with that money. Of course, they live where they can afford to live but that's something I shouldn't be even forced to mention that someone who makes $2k doesn't live in a mansion but still, most of them have a house (or a trailer), a car or 2.

Great job PB, I bet Marek11111 will be proud of you now. I bet many other countries will be happy to be able to provide these numbers and wouldn't consider it poverty either.

The reason that Poles stay in Chicago, New York, Philly, North Jersey, Michigan is because when there are jobs they're there first.

but you were talking about qualified young people, right? That's why I said, as long as they're young they can easily relocate and built a better future somewhere else. There are companies in the US that can't find qualified people. In America no one will be running behind them and begging them to please work for them. You have to search for a job yourself and be flexible and it shouldn't be a problem for young people to be flexible.
