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

America, despite all soothsayers and naysayers prophecy of doom and gloom , is still the no 1 investor here in Australia as well.

My friend gave up hope in Holland and returned to Poland last month. He got a job at McDonalds last week, he was forced to buy a handbook for 137 Zloty (his weekly wage). He's very happy even though the pay isnt that good cause Mc Donalds is considered a luxury restaurant there.

Life / I got beaten and kicks in my face just cuz i dont look polish [205]

Unfortunate incident but I can understand the frustration of many desperate polish men and boys.

My friend, whom I mentioned a while ago, worked for about 6 months in Holland. He returned to Poland, dejected and frustrated, not just by the exploitation of Polish labours (they were paid a meagre 4 or 5 Euros per hr for back breaking work); but also by the behaviour of Polish girls in Holland in general. He said all negroes, turks, immigrants and dutch people only speak one sentence in Polish that is "suck my dick". Polish girls, after meeting with negroes and turks for 5 mintues in a club, will go to the toilet to have sex. He was bewildered and disgusted by what he had seen. I think that radicalised him a bit in his view of women and non poles. No one's fault though. And there's nothing he can do about it.

Welcome to EU. One big Family.

ha ha!

Travel / Which cities in Poland are nice to visit [80]

I visited Krakow, Chorzow, Katowice, Warsaw, Danzig and Zakopane. Only Zakopane is worth visiting. The rest are pretentious european city with below average in everything. The country is FLAT and no natural beauty or historically significant attractions except the concentration camps and the carpathian mountains in the south. The only consolation prize you'll get is pretty girls and boys as long as you are willing to pay the tab.

News / Roma flee home after threats in Silesia [28]

Ever since they intoduced electronic visa program for Romania and Bulgaria, a local tabloid tv reports there is a huge spike in ATM skimming, pick pocketing and shop lifting etc. The gov't refuse to admit the problem for fear of being accused discriminatory and racist.

History / Watch Poland grow and shrink (interactive map) [52]

very interesting. Now you need to make english version so rest of the world can share your passion, and understand your history better.

News / US Military: The Army of Poland is crap. [124]

The criticism is probably correct. Poland has no long term commitment to Afghanistan, they are only there in name only, for the sake of being mentioned as coalition partner.

From the Afghan side, they are probably looking for freebies, sweets, chocolate and footballs for kids etc. I saw US soldiers distributing those and the afghans probably got nothing from Polish troops, so they are not happy.

USA, Canada / Which countries are Americans usually traveling to? [114]

Latin americas are less likely to have positive view of America for the obvious reasons, they are like Germans and Poles. They have historical, cultural and inherent distrust of the US as a result of US foreign policy, corporate abuses, and US immigration Policy (99.99% of Latin Americans have no chance of travelling to the US except illegally via Mexico), and lately populist politicians and economic hardships.

Much like Polish, Russians, Arabs etc blame Germans and Jews for all the problems in their life, latinos always blame Americans for the economic collapse in Argentina, Mexico and Brazil despite the fact that it was their bad economic policy which caused the bankruptcy of many latin american countries. Their politicians are corrupt to the core but most of the population are stupid hence they are easily misled and blame US for everything, including their poverty, ugliness.

Everyday they see on TV soaps about life in America, they wish to go there but they cant get visa, which made them angry. They tried to go through Mexico which forced them to risk their life, which in turn made them angrier. After a long and difficult journey, they arrived there and life ain't all that rosy and they have to work menial jobs making less than $ 5 per hr doing unwanted jobs by Americans, which made them mad. Criticising and bashing America is the national sport for most of these countries' politicians.

Amazing fact is countries that have negative views of Americans or America are more likely to have high illegal migration to the US LOL! Oh the irony!

Study / Admitted To Warsaw University Of Technology (Politechnika Warszawska) [69]


There is no restrictions on Bangladeshi on whether they should study in Poland or Czech Republic, as long as they folow the Law of the land. They have a freedom of choice and they chose Poland.

Millions of Polish people moved to the west, and many of them settled in America, UK, Canada and Australia. Bangladeshis or Pakistanis have the right to study and settle in Poland, as long as they follow the immigration rules, whether you like it or not.

Study / Admitted To Warsaw University Of Technology (Politechnika Warszawska) [69]


They chose Poland over Czech Republic because they can, just like polish migrants chose UK over Germany or Italy. You should be grateful that someone from the arsehole of the world choose to study in your country, regardless of their ulterior motive. Millions of Polish people study, live and work elsewhere in the west, in a place better than Poland. Poland is surely better than Pakistan, Bangladesh or Nigeria, hence they use it as stepping stone for their career and a better future.

It is hypocritical of you people to disparage these people when you are doing EXACTLY the same in Western Europe, Americas, Australia and NZ.

Polonia / What About The Poles In The Netherlands? [102]

I need urgent help regarding my friends.

They were made redundant from their jobs and kicked out of their accommodation and are sleeping rough in the forest. They cant find jobs without having a proper address, can anyone give some suggestion. Also if you know a cheap backpacker hostel somewhere near the big cities please let me know.

Food / No Vernor's ginger ale in Poland? [29]

scotch and ginger ale mixed is my favourite drink, but no pubs in Poland serve whiskey which was disappointing (a friend told me they are expensive so they don't have them) . I ended up drinking Tyskie mixed with red bull most of the time. Drinking outdoors sucks too cause there's heaps of mozzies which is also strange as Poland is in temperate zone, not tropical areas.

Life / Gypies/Indian-looking women with kids beg for money in Poland [143]

hmm those communist style apartment blocks looks alot like most towns in Poland. I wonder why most eastern europeans live in such decrepit buildings which look more like prison blocks than habitable apartments, considering they have plenty of lands to build houses.

UK, Ireland / Ed Miliband, new Labour leader, talking about Polish immigrants yesterday [62]

Labour govt let everyone in the UK cause most immigrants always vote for labour. It was their hidden agenda of flooding UK with immigrants which could put them into power forever. I hope the conservative shut this open door policy except for us with historical, cultural and ethnic ties to the UK.

Indian men will work their arse off to keep you locked up at home and be his housewife , while polish men will ***** you out to pay for his booze. Pick your choice.

Polonia / What About The Poles In The Netherlands? [102]

minimum wage for such unskilled casual work in a transport, logistic and retail environment is $ 20.59 before taxes (such as stacking shelf, packing, loading, cleaning floors, check out chick, trolly collector etc) . The first $ 6000 is tax free and the rest are taxed at 15 cent per dollar up to $ 35,000. 18 yrs old get 70% of adult wage (21 yrs and over). My friend is NOT lying, this kind of abuse must stop!

Polonia / What About The Poles In The Netherlands? [102]

My friends are currently working in holland and are not very happy because they were promised Euro 5 an hour but they are paid only 3.21 Euro after tax + free accommodation (for 18 yrs old) and 4.01 Euros for others (without a room). They work 10-12 hours most of the time, 5 days a week (extremely hard work requiring heavy lifting of goods weighing 10-20 kg).

Any person doing the same work here in Australia will be paid minimum $20+ /hr + 9% superannuation (around 15 Euros).

It seems like slavery is alive and well in the old Europe.

Food / Is Polish food still more natural than in the West? [142]

No, the meat you eat in Poland are mostly processed meat which I think is unhealthy. Fresh seafood is also non-existent in Poland.

Life / Poland, maybe the world's last bastion of faith [67]

The last bastion of faith for Christianity comes with the duty and responsibility of protecting the chosen people Jews and the Holy land (Israel) from Muslims, currently shouldered by USA, Canada and Australia. Poland should contribute its fairshare and should be more vocal in supporting Israel at the UN and international affairs.

Life / POLISH YOUTH compared to the youth in other Western countries? [57]

Most Polish youth are hopeless in life, their only lifeline is finding jobs in western Europe or immigration to the new world, in order of preference USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

They see, smell and taste consumerism and affluent lifestyle in the west, yet it's out of reach for many of them. Which can be reflected in their bitterness towards foreigners, especially coloured people who are supposed to be beneath them based on their skin colours.

They pretend to be religious, proud of Jana Pawla (but can't explain why), yet constantly cirticise Americans as religious nuts.

Obsessed with the perception of their country, food, culture and lifestyle, constantly compares with their neighbours like Slovakia, Czech, Ukraine etc etc. If negative feedback is given, they'll start vicious arguments blaming Germans for invading their country, Britain for not saving them and America for not liberating them.

Life / How can Polish immigrants complain about other immigrants? [65]

Conservative gov't just allowed local councils to bypass immigrants in favour of british citizens for council houses. Which means those dark jamaicans and paki british will jump the queue in front of eastern europeans immigrants. Poetic justice methinks.

Food / WHY IN POLAND PEOPLE DON'T USE ICE? [142]

The kind of fridges used by most household in Poland are mostly those cheap and nasty one door fridge with small freezer compartment. To make ice cubes you have to fill a tray with water and taking ice cube out is always a mess as you have to wriggle them out, and most of them will end up on the floor. Here in Australia most people use fridge with separate ice maker, and we get ice either crushed or cubes by just pressing a button.

I noticed that AC in your home or car is still considered a luxury accessory in most of Europe. The only thing they have is room heater, mostly those 19th century style old radiator heater. Even many of their 3-4 stars rated hotels have no A/C.

News / Newsweek's The World's Best Countries (Poland ranked 29) [128]

I saw four young men sharing a cup of pepsi refill at KFC in Danzig, without eating anything. Using my friend as a translator I offered them a bucket of chicken which they gladly accepted. They were from eastern Poland, didn't speak a word of english but had a friendly conversation using hand gesture, random words and my friend as a translator. We went back to their place YHA right next to Danzig library to have a drink. That mean and devillish woman at the reception kicked us out after someone reported to her that we were drinking a can of beer. Oh what a country.
