News / WHY IS POLAND STILL GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER? [197]

But no one cares, and why should they at the moment?

???

It's a big country, like Romania.

Bigger.

Poland might not grow as quickly as it could.

It doesn't but the country has a potential.
Look I am realistic and I am not saying Poland is a superpower or that it ever will be (unlike G.Friedman).In my book Poland overall (population,economy,size,military) is in the World's 3rd league and I am comfortable with that.

Economically it's behind Belgium.

Not much behind and it could be that it is already ahead.But what about population and the size of territory?Poland is an important player in Europe wheter someone likes it or not.

We know that Poland is a midget on the world stage economically and militarily and will never get the respect it believes it deserves

Really?I didn't know that.According to Wiki Poland is on 21st place in the World GDP wise.
34th population wise.A midget?No.

What's an Estonia?

Estonia is a country in north-east Europe.

With regards to their military, Germany is only behind the UK and France in capability.

Yes, in Europe (excluding Russia ofc) but in the world?

I'd put Germany right there with India. If Germany had the bomb, they'd be equal with those nations (not taking into account that they have access to the bomb...). Not having a seat on the Security Council is the only international forum in which they don't hold as much influence as Russia and China.

I wouldn't.Not even with Pakistan.I am sure you know that just having a bomb doesn't mean much.you also need capability to deliver it wherever you need or want to.

Is Poland a country to take seriously on the European stage?

Now you must be kidding.Worst case scenario Poland is in the second league on European stage.A midget?Then what about Greece,Latvia,Estonia.....?

Fair enough, but the step from 1-2 is as big as the step from 2-3.

I dare to disagree.The gap between Brazil and Argentina is way bigger than between Argentina and Venezuela,Columbia or even Peru.

It's definately a power. Fourth largest economy in the world as well as being comfortably in the top 10 militaries of the world...

I am not trying to argue that Germany is not an economic power but overall it is still world's second league.You can't compare Germany to US,Russia,China and India which belong to world's heavy weight division.Can you?

Just imagine...a washing machine that lasts 20 years but costs $1,500...would you pay it? Probably not..because you have the false economy lie that ingrained...

What is so unusuall about $1500 washing machine?My mother in Poland 4 years ago spent almost $2000 on Bosch IQ series washing machine.I think it was way too much but she says she likes nice things.On the other hand her Italian made Candy bought in late 70s lasted 23 years (with 2 repairs during that time) believe it or not.

Did you read that Belarus and Serbia also avoided slowdown?

No.It somehow escaped my attention.And as far as I know they don't have a stock exchange in Belarus.Maybe that's why I missed it.

Economically and militarily it holds way more sway than Poland, just a fact.

Hard to argue about it,but a SUPERpower?No.

Second most powerful country on the continent.

No match to Brazil.

No mention of the fact that Poland never went into recession or that Polish growth is predicted to be exactly the same.

That's not true.Poland was widely reported in the press as the only country to avoid economic slowdown.I read about it on Yahoo,Market Watch and Bloomberg to name just a few.

So basically Poland is Jesus in the form of a country plunged between two super-powers.

Germany a superpower?pffff.Aren't they still under American occupation?

That's because Poland isn't a major power in Europe, unlike the above four. It has potential to be a regional power, but Poland's diplomacy is rather...poor. In the case of Argentina, Saudi Arabia et al - they are regional powers.

Argies a regional power???Tell it to Brazilians.

News / Giant Jesus Rising in Świebodzin ( Tallest in world ) [323]

Because it's in Brazil and Brazilians paid for it?

Never mind.It's being built using private donations.I this case I don't care.

After all, when that statue goes up in Amsterdam dedicated to Eastern European hookers, marijuana, and homos, I will just bite my tongue and look the other way.

I would gladly exchange this statue for hookers and weed.

The money used could be used to fund a better life for orphans, for instance!

Dude are you phucking crazy?People in Poland want more statues not some bullshit like orphanages or hospitals.Phuck no.Every town and village should have AT LEAST 3 statues:Jesus,JP II and Kaczynski.Each minimum 35 meters high.

Hopefully they'll have the common decency to put some obstruction lighting on it for when the spot lights are turned off..

You got to be kidding!!!No need for lights,Jesus will guide you.

Why there is no statue like this in every Polish town???I am asking why?A statue like this in every even the smallest town would fullfill dreams and needs of every Pole.Thank God at least production of JP II statues goes according to the plan and soon every village in Poland will have at least one.

True.KGHM management just gave themselves 80% rise.

News / Politician shot in Lodz - two assistants to lawmakers from Law and Justice (PiS) party [66]

You're right. We should have put all you ******* commies against the wall in 1989, and Poland wouldn't have any problem whatsoever today.

I am not a commie,never was,never will be.

haha.. What has it come to, that the guys who did most in Solidarnosc, and were the most straight edge, are potrayed as evil, while ******** secret service agents like Walesa are still seen as heroes.

And you still support them?

Missile shield provided nothing for Poland. At least the Patriots protect Poland.

True in regard to MS but what Patriots?I am not aware of any.

Probably. Anyway, apparently someone sees a benefit to it, otherwise Poland wouldn't be doing all the stupid things which he pointed out... There's got to be something....right?

Yes the corrupted traitors see the benefits to their pockets.

Yea it is a wishfull thinking at the moment but hopefully it will change rather sooner than later.Any Pole wishing for more US influence in Poland deserves to be shot.

Most of this is true but no Americans are to blame but only the Poles since they let the CIA agents to run Poland.Poland doesn't need Americans for anything yet the treasonious "polish politicians" allow America to exploit Poland.Poland has never benefited from relations with the US and probably never will.

UK, Ireland / The more subtle differences: Ireland/Britain v Poland [310]

This is by far the worst thing in poland. Why do people keep staring?

Some of you foraigners are simply oversensitive p u s s i e s.What is your problem?They stare?Then stare back.I like when women stare at me it gives opportunity to walk up to them.And if guys stare I stare back.But see I am not a p u s s y.
