USA, Canada / Financial requirements for US greencard? [10]

do you know who/what an attorney is? look one up and ask them for a sure answer. here you'll just get guesses and other nonsense that will not really do you any good anyway. besides $10k is not 125% of the poverty level.. become friends with bing or google, eh?

Law / The 'Secret' of Poland's Economic Success [83]

the secret to this "success" (LOL) is because of massive EU investment into PL.. nothing less, nothing more.. and that's the whole truth too.

USA, Canada / American Polonia. Wisconsin - the most Polish state? [112]

WarsaWasRaw: Ever notice how Polish people born in the former Soviet republics speak Polish, but those born in the West rarely do?

i'd have to disagree. from personal experience that is not at all true.

Real Estate / How are Poland's properties priced? [51]

SeanBM: I think it is a bit sharp for people from the U.S., Ireland, England etc... whose housing prices have just been completely and utterly bust to be poking fun at a relatively, let me repeat "relativity", stable priced market here in Poland.

If it is so arse-ways here, why are all your countries wiping a great big bloody nose on the tax payer?

because the way the polish real estate market has never made any sense.. it's not as stable as many people seem to think it is.. it's on very thin ice.. maybe what is saving PL is what avalon said.. that the PL banks are completely unwilling to take any risk at all..

convex: How can someone making an average salary afford to buy a place?

convex: looks like quotes are f*cked up

exactly.. the perfect example. voodoo economics..

SeanBM: a dollar for a house in the states?? is that realistic?

special conditions... most of the time it means the purchaser will have to MOVE that house off that property.. i've seen it many, many times.. sometimes it may be because the city/county wants the tax income.. like i said.. special conditions..

bolek: Greedy land lords are no greedier in Poland than any where else in the world.

properties are way and i mean, way more affordable in the states then they are PL.. way more..

bolek: I don't think renting out properties is a good way to make money.

but it is if one does it right.. otherwise there wouldn't be any rentals out there at all.. one can make great money renting properties.. great money man.

Real Estate / How are Poland's properties priced? [51]

I still can't find how is the value determined.

i already told you.. it's purely based on greed and whatever some sucker is willing to pay.. there is no valuation of properties in PL like it is in USA, 4 example.. it's like magic, man.

Real Estate / How are Poland's properties priced? [51]

there is no property valuation as it's known in the west... the price is, like harry said, arbitrary and mainly based on greed but not on real value.

History / Jaruzelski asked Soviets for assistance [51]

the placment of troops was taken place not movement of troops they ware there just in case marshal law fail. Russian troops ware moved to Poland to make sure the outcome was the result that soviets wanted.

that is what i think too. there is no denying of the russkies being in poland in force in 81.. whether they had the heart to "invade" or not.. they were there to at least oversee.. this does not excuse jaruzelski's behavior tho.. i just don't think it was all him like some want to believe..

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]

sure but he could have as well said poles are the scoundrels.. oops he did that too.. there is more to it though..patricja probably has the closest answer but like i said, i think he had jewish blood and there was some other stuff from his childhood that influenced his thinking.. in many ways he wasn't the killer anyway.. it was his helpers.. Goebbels, Hess, Barbie, Heidrich, Himmler, Eichmen... and all the others that really pushed the exterminations..

History / Why did Hitler kill so many Jews in Poland? [261]

Hey PLK youre probably bored of this but how are you man? I dont really recall you and i ever chatting or arguing, but i'd like to know whats happening with you. If you dont want to talk about it no probs.

i'll just have to update the other thread man.. let's not mix me in with hitler here, ok? ;) :D
but definitely thanks 4 asking.

i dont really know what the hell that guy was thinking it defies belief.

that has to be the biggest understatement on this bastard ever.. i haven't read his jail rantings either.. may want to just read up w wiki entry on him.. he definitely wasn't stable from early on... iirc he had some jewish blood in him too.. maybe it was some kind of rebelling.. who knows.. it's really hard to wrap one's head around all the different mass butchers of the world.. can you get stalin? saddam? or any other of those countless bastards?
