So you say I invented it ? Or maybe you called yourself like that because it is yes yes as classy ?

Interesting. Then majority of Poles in the UK are expats and many of PF's "expats" are immigrants in fact.

You expats are too funny, especially that garbage, who was masturbating so much to Kaczynski's death that he even opened a thread on it here on PF.

I agree with RN, it's a fecking disgrace that Polish gov did nothing for here. It would be good to check If family/friends requested any help from Polish authorities, If they did and refused, it's a disgrace X 10 000.

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]


Probably no one. When a country is poor, authorities shouldn't spend money on anything else than crtical needs, "lovely renovation works" do not belong there. "External aid" in such case... makes as much sense as subsidising 80% of costs of buying a car by some poor guy, who next will be struggeling to pay for fuel and insurence. Can you show me any country, which actually benefited so much from these stupid EU subsidies ? All those, which you would have listed few years ago are in very deep s*itt now. They all had their "lovely renovation works" subsidised by EU for far far longer than Poland.

Aren't on-line degree programs and such stuff quite popular in the usa ?

Study / Times Higher Education rankings 2012 Poland's top universities at end! [93]

Such rankings are clearly Anglo-American centric, when I see the best German univ at 45th, the best French at 59th and the best Russian around 300th place, It can not be objective. Polish ones, well If you are the 3rd tier country, you simply can not have them close to the top no matter how good they really are.

News / Qatar Airways opens contact centre in Wroclaw! [27]


But that used to happen naturally, that is not really the case now. Wrocław is rich, so is investing a lot in attracting new investors and in result is getting richer and so on.. in result we are getting overcrowded aglomerations with skyrocketing real estate prices, traffic problems... and depopulated cities, which are collapsing as they can't afford to maintain infrastructure, schools etc. In small government scenario, which I personally would like to see, It would be just one of disadvantages overhelmed by other advantages, (besides It wouldn't be that big, a lot of what Wrocałw is doing is guiding investors through countless nonsense regulations created by big government) but in big government reality, poor areas are not left alone, taxpayers are spending a lot on various "programms for underdeveloped areas" and such, and they are still poor... It would be much better to help them attract some investors then "support" them endlessly.

I thought It's clear that I'm living in Poland B ex-PGR, I heard it several times from certain expats, so it must be true.

News / PiS-PSL-LPR? [23]


Well, let's agree to disagree... but you can not denay my point that they had no "nutters" image in 2005, so your agrument that PSL would have not liked to be associated with nutters is simply failing.


Isn't PO, at least on paper, a center-right, free-market oriented, pro-low taxes, anti-bureaucratic burden, Chrisitan values supporting party ? If you mean that in practice, Tusk's PO is not much different than SLD, I totally agree with you.

Very True.


No. One of the reasons I am against PO.


Can you remind us, who was lowering non-payroll labour costs and who was increasing them. Thank you in advance.

Life / A rant about "patriotism" in today's Poland [60]


Maybe simply because the songs were not that good really ? Are you suggesting there is some sort of conspiracy against Elektryczne gitary ?? As for getting outside recognition, yes I would say it is important and see nothing bad in that, no matter how we "glorify our history" domestically, there will be millions of people around the world thinking that Poles are these clowns, who got defeated in 2 weeks and that was all their involvement in WW2, they rather will not listen to songs in Polish... and in the 21st century, the image a country has abroad does really matter...


Of course it isn't, It's a job, just like driving a bus or any other. But I don't agree that it is not important to learn English... Chinese you say ? I have been talking countless times with Chinese people, in English. English will stay no.1 business language at least for decades, maybe for centuries, even If orginally English speaking countries get marginalized, Chinese is simply too difficult.
