COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]
Poland already has a much higher college graduate rate & higher literacy rate than Germany.
It is only time.
True, but you mention Ireland getting rich, don't forget that the Irish were considered "the Blacks of Europe" (If you believe the Commitments film) and there are legions of jokes about them. BUT this kind of thing arguably helped make education important in Ireland. Likewise, the hardships of Poland have arguably made education an important thing (OK, they tried to mess it up with Giertych a few years ago).
Yes, the West will get left behind becasue it often smugly sits on it's laurels and thinks the world should accept what it gives. The British had this with Japan. There were once over 50 makes of British motorcycle... and now?
BTW, Arnold Schwarzenegger made millions from real-estate deals before he became a film star. Part of the reason, he's said, was because many American businessmen just thought he was some thick meathead from the Austrian mountains, and they dropped their guard.
So let the Polack jokes continue and you'll be able to dominate the world!
