Work / I'M SO SURPRISED BY THIS SALARY FOR IBM in WROCLAW 3000 ZL gross [135]

is possible to live there with this salary

Well, from our experience in Poland, the "life" starts with at least 4000pln. 2000pln is rather struggle than life. Many people in Poland have to make it with much less though.

News / U.S. role in Poland is shrinking [82]

The US has with nobody a "special relationship", just common interests...and there is nothing wrong with that

Very well said BB, exactly so. I've mentioned it before in one of the threads here that there's no friendship between countries. We're allies, not friends. Between people, it's a different story.

Why the "F*uck you!" gestures all the time though?

Can you please rephrase it? What are you trying to say?

Yea it is a wishfull thinking at the moment but hopefully it will change rather sooner than later

Are we talking about the same thing grubas? :-)

News / U.S. role in Poland is shrinking [82]

US Role in [USA] is Shrinking

Wishful thinking of someone who obviously didn't make it in the US and goes back home. I bet all of the more successful Polish or Polish-Americans in the US, don't share your opinion.

Nothing against you richasis, it's just that successful people don't have any reasons to complain.

EMPIRE STATE BUILDING IN NYC DISRESPECTS POLISH AMERICANS!

It's really messed up when a building is disrespecting people. No seriously, it's time to shut down this thread and talk about something that makes sense.

USA, Canada / Do Polish guys like American girls? [103]

that really is all that matters....

or even better said, this is what should matter. The life shows that different people have different reasons to meet someone from other country but it doesn't have much to do with any particular nationality.

Travel / Which nightclub in Warszawa (Warsaw) you could recommend? [13]

Has Krakow even heard of house music?

I hope they didn't, lol

city policy that you could only play folk music or klemzer music in all those dusty old pubs

They don't play rap, hip hop and techno, really? It sounds like a great town to go to, lol

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

As I have stated before on PF, I am, in fact, leaving USSA.

Good for you. I seriously wish you all the best in Poland. I'm convinced that in your case, it is the absolutely best decision you could make. I hope there will be more "unhappy" folks to follow you. At least you're acting like an adult. You hate it here so you're leaving. Hat off to you (I mean it).

I chose to stay and fight, I am Polish after all, I do not run away when others do

Stay and fight for what Marek?

USSA has transformed itself from the world's wealthiest creditor nation to the most indebted nation in world history.

This is not quite true richasis, we always lived with debts and we always managed it, just like we'll do it this time. If I was you, I'd rather worry about how to enhance the life of an average Pole in Poland. We all know that the statistics don't show the reality in Poland. A little success here and there still hasn't changed much for the most of you. I was there long enough to know and also I'm staying in touch with my friends in Poland and I know what's going on there.

The Empire should have lit up the lights red/ white /red though. It would be a nice gesture and it would look cool.

A better option would be all of the rainbow colors and the very best, save a big power bill and don't even turn it on at all, lol

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

Does it take an 'expert' to qualify this?

Americans buy anything (literally and figuratively) - like the genius of 'service economy' and 'jobless economic recovery'.

I'm American and I don't take everything for granted. No one in my family does. Many of my friends don't either. Something's wrong with your theory. Your problem guys is that you just love to generalize (Americans are stupid, Germans are Nazis etc). I could post so many funny things that happened while I was in Poland and that wouldn't make Poles look very smart either but am I doing it? No and why, because the behavior of some Poles shouldn't reflect on the reputation of your entire nation.

I repeat it again, you guys don't like it here, no one is forcing you to stay.

I'm glad things worked out. :)

The "things" didn't have to work out, it was all fine before we left for Europe already :-)

the stupid Americans

You sound like an expert man. Your profile shows that you live here but your attitude shows that you suffer being here. My question is, why suffer? You got one life man. Run back home from this misery and be happy for Christ sake. I did that too, I lived in Europe (Poland included) for a while and I'm very happy being back home.

Who cares? Just proves how shallow minded some people are and think they are the best thing ever invented. Lol. How immature.

Finally a good comment, thx

If lights are so important for you guys then just wait few more weeks, turn the Christmas lights on and sing Christmas carols and be happy that you got enough to eat and that there's a peace around you.

Lights in NYC is the smallest problems of all we have nowadays.

in America.

This is the thing rychlik, "in America". If any colors, it should be American, that's it.
You're right about one thing, once they already light up those lights for anyone, they shouldn't forget yours either but then again, to hell with all these lights, peace for everyone and start finally solving really serious problems.

Stupid lights shouldn't be any issue here.

But what else can we expect with our Leftist leader

Kongo colors on empire state building and Kongo national anthem instead to ours, what else? LOLOLOL

PS.: Obviously Islam as our national religion too.

And ending all this multiculturalism BS would put an end to the selective bias at play as well.

It would definitely help. You know, I don't really mind if they have their little community meetings with their food, dance etc. as long as they don't forget who they are now.

It is the apparent selective bias in what they accept to honor and what they refuse to that is the problem and has so many peeps pissed.

Well, I tell you how I feel about it. We are all Americans here, no matter where your ancestors came from and if any colors should be shown on empire state building, it should be ours. People made their choices when they arrived here to live here as Americans.

If someone feels more, Irish, German, Polish, Russian etc. than American, no one is holding him back.

huge snub to the old Polish community that help build America.

Well, every other community did too.

Poland got an entire bridge named after Pulaski, The Pulaski Skyway in Jersey City, minutes from New York City. That sounds better than some beaming lights from a building for a few hours.

Absolutely right.

Besides, it looks like you guys are desperately looking for some news just to be able to complain about us. Instead, use your energy for something positive for a change.

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people?

I never heard anyone here saying that he hates Poles. Actually, where I live no one is even talking about Poles. The only negative comments I hear sometimes are about Mexicans, that's it.

This forum is not showing the real situation in the US. OK, I don't know how people feel about Poles around Chicago. Maybe it's different because there are so many Poles and some of them definitely ruin your reputation. I wouldn't worry about it, no one hates you here at all and those very few that might, ain't worth even mentioning.

History / Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]

Also Danzig is now practically Gdansk...legally or not nobody is going to change anything.

It is what it is. I'm not trying to start a WW3 because of it but the legal question is still open and so is the possibility of becoming a free city again. I didn't say it will ever happen, I said it might.

History / Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]

that doesn't mean they are still legal

In this case it is still legal. You see, Germany now practically replaced the Reich and so the Reich doesn't have any legal right as a country but in Danzig's case nothing like this has ever happened. It is still a free city according to the international law.

History / Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]

It was still fully german and fully dependent on Germany.

Of course it was more German then anything else, 98% of the entire population was German. Just look at the famous people from Danzig's past, no matter how far you go, nothing but Germans. I'm not trying to argue with you. It's just that it happened to be a free city few times in its history and even then it was doing great, mainly because of the connection to Germany.

This town is now fully polish in Poland...there is no legal base for a free city anymore

Sorry BB, you're wrong here. According to the international law, it's still a free city. Read about it BB, don't argue in that point. You'll find confirmation for what I say even on Polish sites.

But that changes everything!

Not legally though.

History / Give back Lwow to Poland and Kaliningrad to Germany - is it possible? [198]

Danzig alone on itself would not be able to survive and soon people would flee to better shores and the town would sink to third world standards within a generation

Actually, Danzig was doing pretty good anytime it was a free city. Of course it did OK too when it was German :-)

As you said those you speak with identify as Poles, so on what base they would be able to found a free city?

What base? Actually, the answer is very simple, according to the international law, Danzig is still a free city.

danzigfreestate.org/freedanzig.html

even Poles confirm it
