News / Tusk drops Chinese COVEC building the A2 motorway in Poland [83]

Sejm member Eugeniusz Kłopotek says throw the Chinese out of Poland,

It means that there is something fishy about that case, he is not exactly an impartial factor here.

competition based solely on the lowest price - is a nonsense, quality is even more important - but who cares?

News / What must be done to improve politics in Poland? [72]

Anyway, if the mainstream media is so absolutely against PiS - why don't they concentrate on winning their support rather than ranting about bizzare conspiracy theories?

How is your polish delph?;seriously, I would like to know before entering into conversation with you.

So? No answer? Is that bad?

Who do you think you are, calling me names?

I haven't called you anything as yet!

Comparing your production in this forum vs. Paradowska's in Polityka I would not hesitate for a second whom to choose as my conversational buddy.

Considering above I won't hesitate to call you a pompous prick!
For number of reasons, but I suspect you are not interested in hearing them out!

I am not as paranoiac as you are apparently are.

You are apparently a tool, sorry that I have mistaken you for somebody one can have discussion with.
case closed!

News / What must be done to improve politics in Poland? [72]

So do not give me your little pathetic story about PiS being persecuted by Polish media.

bolox We are talking main stream media not some Internet websites! And all the main media in Poland are anti-PiS, exception: Rzepa 50/50% and Nasz Dziennik.

Who read the papers ? When it comes to TV all main channels are full of anti-PiS propaganda.

I do not live in Poland

double bolox - did you ever live in Poland?

And that was scary!

another bolox afraid of the shadow's - I wasn't afraid a one bit!

What the hell has happened with us?

A little guys installed by Soviets, they stayed unmolested to do more mischief.

History / What was it like in 1989+ in Poland when the Soviet house of cards fell? [237]

I hope you mean all properties, also the ones stolen right after the WWII too.

Yes!

You are unaware you repeat the most banal Communist phrases.

It is not about phrases, it is about justices. You know, or you should know that what commies said had no meaning really, they used big words but had given them a different meaning.

Important is a mindset and it is you with a commie mindset, property should be returned to rightful owner precisely because the commies deeds should be undone.

What owners will do with their property is their business and it is a very commie-like of you to worry about that.
Should I tell you what to do with your property? Ah ! you say it is different - really how so?

Because who will decide who the "traitors" are?

It is self- evident yes?

and steal their properly

Traitors should not have property, property stolen by commies should go back to rightful owners (like Zamoyski for example)and the rest should had been taken care of - wisely!

Get some work. Or maybe enhance your education. Or maybe apply for a post of an executioner if killing makes you horny.

Do not take that tone with me mister, because I can throw insinuations, personal jabs and insults faster that you can type, ask anybody who is longer on PF than you.

Trust me you don't want that!

I-S, are you on commission for being obtuse or something? This phenomenon is NOT isolated to Warsaw

Well, I know that, I just question that those people in new houses are the Polish middle class!
I know that I'm being stubborn sometimes :)

it ain't many,

bing - that the point I make!

These people are Poland's middle class,

Who according to you is a middle class because I have in mind independent professionals and merchants, businessmen.Not enough of those I say. I'm not talking about some gypes in state employment.

Ironside, in Poland today you can still come from nothing

I would say with little plus good education. I know my friend made it :)
Anyway, I'm not talking about myself , and definitely I'm not talking like that in a real life,just something that worries me as I see that not all goes well in Poland, thanks to those BDs.

The new moneyed class/middle class is firmly in place in PL, circa 2011. Here is an example in Warsaw within the districts of Warsaw, Zoliborz - old money/Intelligentsia. Mokotow - Gorny/Dolny- New moneyed/yuppies.

That doesn't prove anything, we are talking about the country here not only Warsaw,and you know it.

History / What was it like in 1989+ in Poland when the Soviet house of cards fell? [237]

Today's the anniversary of the June 4 elections back in 1989. Does anyone remember the Gary Cooper sheriff posters?

I think that everyone remember that one. I remember thinking - great poster, I haven't actually noticed that it was Gary Cooper at the time, in a way it was like impersonation of the sheriff in the wild west, bringing hope to sort out all the bad guys.

Yeah, shot the bastards, a peaceful approach hasn't worked for the solidarity that well in 1981 (which I hardly remembered), now guys size the moment and finish them off - well I was a naive kid then, my father said as early as in 1990 "that is all sham, the same people are everywhere - they are great democrats now, phew!". I did not believed him at the time - little that I knew.

Well, I know now that it a sham, but then I was all exited and old enough to know that I'm witnessing a historical moment.

Hope that is a good enough for you rybnik.

News / For all Americans worried about Schengen in Poland, dont worry about it. [142]

I can't necessarily confirm that you don't have any problems with us

Listen GW, thats not the point.
You keep going on how US are much richer than Poland and all, fine. Now, tell me why US is extracting a fee (100$) not for visas to US, but for applications for visa? I see no problem in paying for actual visa say 500$, but for an application ? - it is ridiculous.

I think that SHT is right about reciprocity, as for Americans bringing business here, they are few of them anyway, no great loss.

No

I'm not sure if Poland can do it. I mean we are part of Schengen Agreement, but by right we should be able to do it and implement the same condition US impose on our citizens.

Life / Who is poor in Poland? [720]

The question I would ask is: would Poland be better off without a membership? I seriously doubt that, because without being a member of the EU those millions of Polish citizens I've mentioned in my previous post would most likely not be allowed to work in Britain, Germany and elsewhere in Europe.

Poland could do well on her own, thank you.

I don't think Antek is showing off Ironside

Ah but I think he does.

I have read some of your comments before Ironside, and unfortunately you are one of these people that believe you have to be a former communist to have made it.

Not necessarily I would say that there of those that made it ( I'm mean really made it) 1 in 5 is not a former communist or their family member.

Anyway, that is not a point I'm trying to make here, my point is that it really doesn't matter who made it and why while conditions in Poland are such as to prevent a middle class from emerging.

On the other hand Antek is trying to sell here that in Poland there no poor people and if they are they can blame themselves only.

I have seen too many imbeciles promoted due to their connections and fine people working their asses off to take that BS seriously.

Firstly a generation separates you and Antek

It well may be, but I still remember 1989, and he is all about himself that why he keep fishing for personal reasons of my views. Furthermore he isn't really aware what going in Poland.

Some are aware of the concept of milestones in projects but they don't have an American's sense of urgency or what needs to be done.

sean they do not care, all they care bout is

what is there for me

, and it comes not from some blocks from a gutter but those in charge in key's positions.

I want you to get some work and stop whining ;-)

I'm on PF for about two years - you have no idea what you are talking about. You are just an old gype who made some money and you think it makes you wise. What make you think that I don't have a job - nothing - What you doing here is just showing off.

See, Poland is like the country that stayed back in time.

Not really.I'm it is not aboutknow how, it is about post-colonial syndrome and the fact that Polish elite had been almost extinguished.
Those who are in charge have no interest in changing anything because thanks to their slimy and dark ways there are where they are - if you follow me.?

You're taking what Havoc says too literally,

He has written here a lot of rubbish to be taken seriously out of the sudden.

Life / Who is poor in Poland? [720]

key question: which one applies to this thread?

Difficult question,seem to me that each poster is talking about something else.
People in Poland having problems with putting food on the table is about 20%,those are even below poverty line.
Then people struggling with paying for necessities - I would say that they make about 30-40% of the population - but to be honest I don't know it is only a guess and they would be poor.

Somebody should bring data instead of arguing in vain.

Ironside, wake up. Get to some work instead of whining.

Eh? What do you want?You nasty old git!:)

How would Poland look like without millions of its citizens working in other countries,

A good point !

and without the subsidies from the EU?

that monies are only peanuts really - the real value of those funds is in the propaganda element.
Question is - why Poland depends on foreign investments and capitals and who is responsible ?that would be a right question.

What do you think?

I think that people should be judged on individual basis. Saying that I must admit that on PF there is a quite few peeps from America which fit your description.

I'm sure thought that there is even more a very decedent peoples with a lot to offer in terms of wisdom and balanced views.

For the last time topic is WHO is poor in Poland ?
I think that we all can agree that poor in Poland are people who can afford only basic necessities!

I have already given my answers, see point 6, post #298. Pity you can't read

No you did not.
Since you don't know or are cannot answer that question, I will do it for you.
Communism systems depended on political police and military to keep population in check.

The army, the police, the government in the first place.

the army :
Florian Siwicki (commie) - minster in 1989
the police:
Czesław Kiszczak (commie and former boss of the polish KGB) - minister in 1989 and second in line to the post of Prime Minister.
You were saying ?
My point is:
In fact in Poland in charge in 1989 and in 1987 there were the same people, why end of the communism is said to have happened in 1989?

Because of few changes and few new faces.

The Communist system and of course, Soviet Union.

What was the communist system ? What was the most important element of communist system?

Soviet Union ?
Forgive me but wasn't the case that Soviet Union existed till 1991? So why 1989 not 1987 or 1990?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union

And you are asking why the Commies did not resign from the "Centrally Planned Economy"?! What the hell do you know about the history?
It was Gen. Jaruzelski who said: 'Sprawy socjalizmu będziemy bronić jak niepodległości!"

What do you know ?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojciech_Jaruzelski
Now pay attention :
Jaruzelski won the presidential ballot by one vote! Meaning he was president of Poland!

Monia, czy my musimy rozmawiać z tym...
