Work / How can Americans of Polish descent get work in Poland? [22]
True, this is a big problem mainly in government agencies.I thought he was saying it's perfectly normal to fly to PL and ask a strange person to employ you "at least on paper" because you need work visa.Isn't work visa valid for one job (work place) only anyway?
He is referring to nepotism, grubas. Back scratching is quite a common thing but it isn't so clear-cut here in Poland. Foreigners obviously have it that much harder for clear reasons.

Normal?I don't think this is normal.Sure if you were a friend of mine I would try to help you out but if you approached me as a strange person I wouldn't do it and i think 99% of Poles wouldn't either.Tell me why do you think it is perfectly normal in Poland?
Ask any relatives in Poland to look around, ask their friends etc for someone who can offer you a job (at least on paper). It seems odd or inappropriate by US standards but it's perfectly normal in Poland.

History / What was it like in 1989+ in Poland when the Soviet house of cards fell? [237]
I am positive I was stealing all this fruits as a kid.My block (very nice btw,smallest apt was 78sq meters,mine was 90) was in the youngest part of town and ,behind it were only fields and gardens so me and my buddies were often going get some fruits,we were calling it "iść na careśnie or agrest etc."And people always had plenty of homemade jams and preserves.
So you don't agree with me they are different fruits?To me they are and to every Pole as well,I like czereśnie way better than wiśnie.I don't see how can you classify them as the same fruit,they taste completly different.If I asked for czereśnie and got wiśnie I would want refund.
Some of these fruits can't be grown in cold climates like Poland. For example, cherry. Are you sure it is grown there or imported?

If you really, really want to distinguish the two you can call wiśnie 'sour cherries' but many English speakers will interpret that as a cherry that's gone sour rather than a different fruit....

True.Not many people know that also majority of Russian Jews made it to Israel thru Poland in early 90's.But that was a deal striked between Soviet and Israeli government and executed with the help of Polish secret service.
even more Eastern Germans escaped through Hungary (they presumably went for vacation in Hungary and in 1988 Hungary dropped border controls on the Austrian border)

What do you mean why?to escape to West Germany.Polish news were showing them besieging West German embassy in Warsaw.If you look for it you can find videos of them.Once they crossed to Poland they were free and could go West Germany.
You 7 y/o or what?To keep some power,influence and takover this way or another many state companies.
The FIRST President of "free" Poland was General Wojciech Jaruzelski.The deal was "Wasz prezydent,nasz premier"...."a lato Muminków"(a joke).That means the President was to be "commie" (Jaruzelski) and Prime minister a "Solidarity" guy (Mazowiecki).Wałęsa was a SECOND President of "free" Poland.
Hope I just did a little bit.This time in Polish history will be more investigated in I guess at least 20 years.Many authors of Magdalenka deal is still alive and they want people to know the truth.I guess you don't know that Polish (unlike e.g Czechs)people never learned who was a SB snitch because most of people in Sejm voted AGAINST exposing secret SB associates.You can guess why.
What I am telling you are not any secrets.
I meant they DON't want ofc.
How and why would they do that?

she is aware what the implications will be on her if she decides to run off to Poland without my consent it will take some time but i could have our child returned to the country and she could potentially be charged with kidnapp
