Life / Why do you choose to stay in Poland, why not other country? [152]
Do you think they are increasing in Poland though? Or it will never get quite as bad?
One thing I find when I go back to UK is that I remember how much I hate neds/chavs, which aren't as prevelant where I am in Poland.

MareGaea
they tried to eliminate its entire Intelligentsia, surely that is bad enough. By targeting a certain group of people because of their station in life and eliminating them for that reason is surely genocide.

Work / Is it normal for companies/schools in Poland to be rude? [116]
Must be a European phenomenon.
I don't know about he education system in the UK. I do know that in Poland, universities have been steadily dropping standards with the same "pass everyone" mentality.

My friend the day that the unions take over will be the day that the Polish education system will start getting dumbed down just like in Britain.
Unions are often not given teeth

History / Is Jozef Pilsudski the king of modern Poles? [138]
That wouldn't be the time when the Germans slaughtered each in the 30 years war and looked to Poland (The country that guaranteed its citizens religious toleration in its law) as a place of refuge would it?
