Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]


They were involved unfortunately - it was on church property and some of the other photos show priests blessing it. Those photos are currently doing the rounds on Facebook etc.

Tasteless indeed. I wonder why the church got involved and exposed themselves to even more ridicule.

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]

He knew how old she was and a person's prior sexual experience has no bearing on whether or not they can be raped.

Don't be so silly. Are you still suggesting that Polish men cut their hair short in order to look heterosexual? Lol!

Travel / How come no one ever seems to pay for the bus in Poland? [63]

They've abolished the rule about paying for large bags in Warsaw.

News / How has Euro2012 benefitted Polish tourism? [8]

There's certainly plenty of visitors here in Warsaw. According to surveys, many said they'll return. Whether they will or not is a different matter.

Travel / English man going to clubs in Warsaw! [8]

You'll have no problems at all. Thousands of British people live in Warsaw and violence in clubs is very rare.

Correct!

I can't help thinking that something more strained would have been more suitable.

And.........

So in fact you don't actually have anything to say. Only that 'Polish males' (what, all of them) cut their hair short so they look heterosexual (been in a gay bar since 1995?) and that only Polish 'girls' (whatever happened to equality) can comment on Polish men!

Stop trolling. Do you live in Poland? Do you have a Polish boyfriend?

Now the logic in that statement is non-existent!

Widely believed in your village maybe, but not in Poland as a whole.

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

There's a lot of truth in that. I'd add that compared to Ethiopia, Pakistan and Laos, it's very rich indeed.

Life / Jehova's witnesses in Poland - how to deal with them? [110]

The only way to deal with them is politely. Either a yes, please; or a no, thanks.

Now that's all very interesting, but in your experience, is Poland a rich, poor or middle income country?

My own feeling is that it's one of the richer places in the world, compared with so many other countries on our planet.

That sums it up pretty well, really - no region is in a position to go it alone.

When I was teaching here, I never did. Too much trouble and I like my evenings free.


Hi Dessie. In this case the poster in question is claiming that his region of Poland is economically productive enough to declare independence while at the same time avoiding the fact tha it is so economically unproductive that he can't actually find a job there. He probably wouldnt be the only one, would he?

And sometimes immigrants (whether from the UK or elsewhere) have a clearer perspective on the realities of their adopted home than the aboriginal inhabitants, especially those who spend most of their time elsewhere and find they can't actually make much of a go of it here.

Try harder next time.

Got many members, have they? Out of interest, who pays your welfare? The Warsaw based state or the regions?

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

What are you burbling on about? A Wielkopolska independence movement? Even in Slask there's very little support for independence. Unless you haven't noticed, the Greater Warsaw region is as economically self sufficient as it can be - ,ore so than anywhere out in the sticks, and remarkable how much industrial and agricultural output it has, given the distance from Poland's main export market.

Out of interest, if the region you live in is doing so well, where are you working now?

No crooks in suits any more than you can find provincial wide Boys. Just competent people with much needed access to global markets. Or perhaps you'd like to close the Stock Exchange, the various company headquarters, the diplomatic missions etc and have a return to the PRL. At least then you'd have a guaranteed job instead of unemployment.

Life / Is Poland a poor country? [578]

Really? I think you'd have a pretty hard time proving that, especially since Warsaw is the economic powerhouse of the country. The provinces have never been able to manage much by themselves.

If anything, the other way round.

Law / IMPORTANT: LUBLIN has no internet cafes ? WHERE can I find an INTERNET CAFE in Lublin ? [17]


Here in Warsaw if someone doesn't have wifi at home or work, they just go to MaccyD's or Starbucks. But most people can afford a connection at home. The cheapest is only about 30zl per month, or cheaper if they tether to a smartphone.

It's worth removing micro states from the list and looking at how wealth is calculated before arguing for the sake of it. Nevertheless, I think we can safely establish that Poland is very far from being a poor country.

59th richest, in fact.

Really Milky, you should try visiting other countries. Sme of them don't even have clean water.
