Life / What's wrong with you, Polish people - is it an inferiority complex? [120]
I think it's a little insincere for a foreigner to ask a Pole how behind they think they are in terms of development considering the stifling effect of communism. If I were a Pole, I'd be mightily annoyed at that question.
Some foreigners, esp Brits, seem to forget that communism was imposed rather than chosen. The Poles have many sharp cookies and they just need outlets to express/show their talents.
