Law / ACN direct selling telecom company in Poland [45]


Can you provide us with statistics on the amount of people who leave ACN with a profit?

I still wonder why ACN allows people to "cold market" when attempting to recruit people into "working" as an ACN reseller, but why they also ban cold marketing of the ACN product? You'd think it would be the opposite way round....


I'm asking you why the State of Montana said that almost every single person who had signed up with ACN had lost money. Answer the question.

Keep going though - you're doing a great job of showing us how ACN is all hype and very, very little substance.

USA, Canada / Dual citizenship - US doesn't care if you don't give up Polish passport [103]


Why would Polish people revolt against their own democratic country?

If they don't like it - it's easy enough to elect a party with a 2/3rds majority in the Sejm/Senat, as well as a President which will endorse the ending of the III RP and start a new Polish state.

You don't have to give it up, but you do have to pledge to attack Poland if required to do so.

Certainly, no Polish patriot would ever do such a thing.

Sure you have.

You're not going to prove it though, are you? :)


Not hard to guess why - the commission structure is so heavily weighted against the "independent representative" that there's absolutely no way they're going to break even.

Tell me - why did the State of Montana say that almost every single person who had signed up to distribute ACN's product had lost money?

But hey - anyone reading can read this for themselves - fraudwatchers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3036

And six months on top of that.

Most Polish-Americans last one or two years maximum.

Keep going - nothing puts off people more than a brainwashed individual who is desperately trying to convince himself that he'll see a return on that $500 investment.

Contact the Polish investigators - they have it.


Warsaw Airport's CCTV system, combined with eyewitness testimony from a BOR agent. Pretty authoritative, I'd say.


The investigators have confirmed the presence of the CCTV tape - not much to "dupe" here.

Warszawski - in all seriousness, we'll probably never know all the details. We already know that certain things are very unlikely to be revealed (especially regarding the systematic failures within the PAF - and I suspect that the report will stay away from things such as Blasik's reliance on Kaczynski for his career) - the only real question is how much they'll blame Blasik and how much they'll blame the real crew.

I guess it's safe for him now - the majority are against Lustracja.

Anyway, doesn't matter if the INS allowed you to keep your Polish passport - the point remains that you have sworn to attack Poland if required to do so, traitor.

Legal? You might want to have a word with the Federal Court of Australia about it - austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/federal_ct/2005/276.html


Indeed - and furthermore, if they don't pay your bills, you get nothing.

Perhaps you might want to tell us why you aren't allowed to market your telefony product, but why you ARE allowed to convince people to sign up as an ACN rep?

Anyone who thinks wouldn't get involved with ACN or the like.

assaultofknowledge.wordpress.com/2009/05/17/fox-11-news-investigates-the-acn-scam

"they prey on the weak and desperate"...hmm

Even their own legal representative says that (as seen in the video) - "the majority probably do not make a profit".

ACN is about as big as a pyramid scheme as it gets.

Law / Healthcare for British Citizens living in Poland [30]

Is there actually the possibility of getting a refund? I thought all of the medicine in Poland was either subsidised or unsubsidised - but "free" medicine didn't exist.

Either way, I'd be wary about coming here with a pre-existing condition - while there's an EU right to access healthcare "abroad" - the system isn't too keen on it here.

Law / Healthcare for British Citizens living in Poland [30]


You'll pay for it. It may be subsidised (certain medicines are) or it may not be - I don't know the specifics. Olaf is your man to ask on here - but if it's unsubsidised, it can be pretty expensive.

For what it's worth, you'll also be without healthcare unless you or your wife has paid ZUS (the equal of national insurance here).

Life / "Letter from Poland" - very important movie to watch [51]


Slight altercation...well, he only ordered him into the cockpit :D

I know people refuse to accept the psychological analysis of Protasiuk - but "a nice guy" is totally the wrong person to be flying such a plane, especially under such psychological pressure.

It would seem that perhaps the theory that the second pilot was waiting for Blasik's approval after the "go around" statement could be right.

Certainly, I hope that Blasik's actions in the hours before the flight are documented thoroughly - was he still drunk from the night before, was he drinking before the flight, was he drinking on the plane?

UK, Ireland / Polish English marriage in England- advice please [21]

Nah, no problem. As long as the data all matches, it's no problem.

Bear in mind that the CNI is only valid for 3 months, though.


Nope, can't imagine it being a problem.

Are you getting a civil or church wedding?

Life / "Letter from Poland" - very important movie to watch [51]


He was actually a political appointee and was more or less reliant on Kaczynski for his command - hence the severe case of "get-it-there-itis". Best in NATO? At what, making idiotic decisions?


No, the facts put it into our heads that he was a vulgar drunk with no sense of responsibility. What on earth was he doing ordering Protasiuk into that plane, and what was he doing in assuming command of the plane? There's plenty more where that comes from - Blasik was no hero.


Sorry MediaWatch, but there's video and eyewitness testimony, as well as the undeniable fact that Blasik reported to Kaczynski as the commander of the flight. Plenty of evidence - and this comes from the Poles, not from the Russians.


Nothing to do with Russia. I don't see any evidence in the MAK report relating to Blasik's actions on the ground in Warsaw.


But the UK also judges 0.2 as being a criminal offence when flying a plane. Comparing apples and oranges is pointless - you can only compare apples with apples. And Blasik was drunk according to UK law, as well as Polish law.

The more I read, the more I feel sorry for the rest of the crew.

Life / "Letter from Poland" - very important movie to watch [51]


What Blasik (the general in question) has been doing is starting to come out - and it's not pretty. It certainly looks like the story of him seizing command is true - and may hold the entire reason why the plane crashed.


Jonni puts it correctly.

Not worth even bothering with - the sole source of such information is a very unreliable website.

Very appropriate to say when stopped by the police for a minor traffic offence.

I'm not surprised he failed to get a job in Holland if he was stupid enough to do that.

McDonalds is incredibly controlled throughout the world - the whole business is set up in exactly the same way in every country, and "paying for a handbook" - doesn't exist, sunshine.

It really is a remarkable measure of your stupidity that even Jonni and PennBoy are agreeing!

The SLD are socialists. Solidarity are socialists. Not gonna happen, even without all the history.

It's refreshingly truthful as well.

Law / How can I get Polish citizenship after been married to a Polish spouse [75]

It's worth pointing out that if he hasn't been working for 3 years without a break in employment, they may use it as justification to refuse the application. I know that at least one African national was refused citizenship in Poznan on this basis.

But - instead of asking on here - why not talk to the office? The wonderful lady that works in the relevant office speaks English rather well.

Study / Swedish folks in Poland! (I want to apply for university and live in Poland) [21]


Sure, you'll earn less in Poland. But you'll also get the chance to be part of something new and exciting - something is happening in Poland, unlike dull stable Western European countries. Depends if you want to build something or simply to live in something that was built for you, really.

I'd say your real problem will be not understanding the Polish way of doing things. Foreign diplomas are good, but work experience is so, so, so important in Poland - and if you want to work in Poland as a Pole, they'll be expecting you to have similar experiences to the ones who never left.

But really, I'd say you'd have to be absolutely insane to choose a Polish degree over a Swedish one.

UK, Ireland / What use is an irish childs pps number in poland? [7]

My suspicion is perhaps that he's trying to claim benefits from Ireland (via the Polish system) and they've requested the PPS number as a result. It's about the only plausible explanation I can think of - they'll need the PPS number to deal with the Irish on the matter.

Certainly, if he's psychotic enough to be banned from contacting mother/child, then he should be told to take a hike.

Jeez, what utter rubbish and totally unsuitable for Polish high speed operations.

Food / Typical lunch in Poland? [50]


Nah, just that there's a well established culture of working only 8 hours - where do they have time to get hot food if they're working for 8 hours?

Depends on the company though - but many Poles like a standard 7-3 or 8-4 working day and choose to just eat something cold at their desk.

What made me very happy today was going to have a discussion with a school director (wasn't an interview, just a chat) and ending up spending nearly 2 and a half hours talking to them about all sorts of interesting things, as well as getting my ridiculously high demands accepted on the spot.

It's a mystery to me, but a very pleasant one.

Yes. The vast majority aren't working long enough to eat a warm meal for lunch.
