RN: misunderstood what I stated. Read my previous posts. I am not a believer in importing OUR jobs. I'm shocked that Poland would do so. I wrote post #115 sarcastically. This is how the Chinese built roads are trying to be justified? Go figure.

Chinese won because of 'low bid' (60% less). First, suppose to hire Poles, but it's anticipated that their own labor will be brought in before end of completion. Wages, Chinese are to obey Polish and EU laws.

History / WAS KATYŃ GENOCIDE? Polish officers were killed [237]
Interrogation, political agitation and then declaration of "hardened and uncompromising enemies" of Soviet authority. Deemed Polish "Nationalists and Counterrevolutionaries." It was a SELECTIVE deprivation of Poland's Military and Intellectual elite which ultimately would weaken Poland as a whole. Massacre carried out by military. Fits declared description of Genocide. In my opinion, Genocide. Isolated group which ultimately would weaken Poland as a whole. Others, consider it mass murder due to the Russian military carrying out the execution. Genocide typically is carried out by military.

Not beating; competing! It's not my backyard anymore. I have to share it. Large Russian population. Quality, has proven survival.
But surely the Russians can't beat you in your own backyard!?

Your points were good and interesting.
I own a Building Contracting Company. It hasn't been a conscious decision to work or not work with the Chinese. They simply are not currently in this line of work. As stated, earlier, competition is with the Russian owned companies who employ cheap labor.

Agree, bailouts and selectively reducing the pressures in our economy and the political passage of a Democrat vs. Republican. With this in mind, do you think a recession does benefit the select in the long run and if so, how? Interesting point.
Agree. The recent Auto Stimulus already has repercussions. 'Cash for Clunkers?' or 'Cash Back?' Prime example of steering the select would be the Banks. How did that benefit the Country as a whole?
Yes, Foreign Capital directed in the right direction is positive.
I don't completely believe that as you need to reactivate business concerns across-the-board by stimulus packages
controlled and steered recession, you mean?

To be honest, I've never seen one Chinese doing construction in my business. It will be interesting to see the final product and quality.
True. The People together as a whole will be the only ones pulling us through this depression..hmm..recession?
Chinese, well, they may surprise us by showing some know-how in an area where they aren't renowned for their expertise

I'm not in Poland. I haven't seen that mentality in the U.S. amongst Poles. My Company isn't competing with China for labor. That would throw a twist in business. Labor here is competitive with cheap Mexican labor. The bids are so low it's not worth it to even try to compete. It comes down to quality. One pays for what they get.
the mentality here, they will likely be cursing the Chinese and refusing to accept that they were in any way part of the decision to look elsewhere.

With consequences. U.S. perfect example of the effects of outsourcing labor. Rely on plan first, never on B.
If Poles are willing to work for less wages than there is a job pool and a need for work. Typically, other laborers are used when no one else is willing to do the work.
accepted jobs under the minimum wage
It's business! Reliance need not be the norm if you have a plan B.

Poland should be building the roads. A Country will only be strong by building itself. Mass destruction of the Financial infrastructure. Shocked that Poland would unify with China? Poland should analyze the consequences of relying on another Country. It's a spiraling effect; Poles will be displaced jobs for cheaper labor.

Patience. Take a deep breath. He'll feel more at ease by giving him space. Focus on yourself and why you need to figure this guy out so badly (is he just a friend or do you want to take this further?) No one likes pressure or smothering. He will be more inclined to be close to you, if your more non-chalant.
I should probably ignore him til he comes begging.....

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]
A Pedophile is impossible to rehabilitate. Castration will not change a Pedophile's urge to repeat a sex offense. Good in theory. Solution? I hope that would be enough of a deterrent. A very deviant person commits these acts of violence. Disgusting. Chemically? Why not the whole way!

A joke is just that. I wouldn't take it literally, it's not a racial slur. I haven't seen 'Land of the Lost' with Ferrell, but when he's funny, he's hysterical.

News / Are Polish People Being Discriminated Against? Problems getting a US visa. [258]
Getting a Visa to the US is very difficult.! It took 10 years for my father-in law to get a Visa. Reason: He was a recent widow, relatively young early 50's and they didn't think he would return? On his last visit, he was detained for two hours. The US couldn't or wouldn't believe he came to visit his family? It was extremely stressful. Good luck getting one if your young: same reason-may not return. Discrimination= VISA. It's a very subjective process.

I would love to see some pictures of other PF gardens and in Poland. So don't tease- do take a few pictures. When my father in-law came to visit in the US, two summer's in a row, he really loved to garden. He took back to Poland several seed packs of perrenials and vegetables to plant. I will see how his garden is going?

Yes, Wildrover do give us a glimpse of your little forest and post it on Aphrodisiac's picture contest as well. To all gardener's: I've found that the love of nature and experimentation is the best guide. Surround yourself with what you love. If it doesn't work; try another area. Typically, what grows best, is already established. I have a 1910 home with no landscaping... except, one lilac tree. My guide is what I like and experiment. My other home, I'm not going to develop.. It looks like a park and has a beautiful view of water and mountains. Despite, living in the city, I live in the last place to have space. So, enjoy your reprieve and space...
