I would be disappointed if you wouldn't, parish the thought of you showing some maturity, it would be a rude surprise. I can assure he was a very funny character, and not in a good way.

News / 70% of Poles like Komorowski. Do you? [120]

Yes I have-the cross before the palace crowd for instance. Poland is the crossroad of east and west, and sadly this type of "eastern" behavior, just like the behavior of booing when commemorating the Warsaw Uprising, is an example of the eastern strand of Polish politics typified by the behavior of PIS types. It is sad fact of Polish political life that I have been acclimatized to. Hopefully with time the more western Poland becomes the less evidenced will such behavior become. This observation of mine is well articulated by Andrzej Celinski:

Nope he was a laughing stock.


That is truly pathetic! so people are not suppose to smile all of a sudden? Would you prefer him tearing his hair out an beating his chest with rosary in hand, as is the usual behavior of the PIS crowd(the Asiatic strand in Polish politic). ?

News / 70% of Poles like Komorowski. Do you? [120]


I do. The reason why the vast majority of Poles and I like him, is that in contrast to his predecessor he is a healing President and not a divisive one. If you follow some of his performances online, you will also find that he is very good at articulating the mood of the people: youtube.com/wwwprezydentpl

You are not, because you have binned my posts without demonstrating how I insulted anybody. So in the interests of the debate, I would lie to see my supposed insults.

UK, Ireland / First proper "Polish" School in the UK - The Next Stage of Ghettoisation [283]

Are the editors interested in a impartial debate on this forum? After all I am only engaging the posters true interests what is wrong with that? I will have to see and give it another go. If you were truly impartial you would delete the whole thread and not individual posts. So just to summarise my previous posts related to the true racist feelings of the OP, and I engaged him in a conversation about him remarking how supposedly smart the Polish people were, I informed him by stating that this was also the opinion of the British media by posting the following:

"Polish children boosting standards among English pupils, study suggests".

telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/9280815/Polish-children-boosting-standards-among-English-pupils-study-suggests.html

I also asked the OP whether his true hate for all things Polish was borne out of deep hatred of Britain's multicultural reality, and Poland's homogeneity?

Yes, and unlike Poland the 1st War front wasn't centered on areas Populated by Czechs. In addition to this by surrendering without firing a shot in the 2nd War, meant that they were comparatively unscathed.

History / Polish patriotic songs with anticommunist message [21]


That is a very pertinent message, but for me personally the following have the most meaning:

Przestańmy własną pieścić się boleścią,
Przestańmy ciągłym lamentem się poić:
Kochać się w skargach jest rzeczą niewieścią,
Mężom przystało w milczeniu się zbroić...

and the stanza that precedes the one above:

Miejcie odwagę... Nie tę tchnącą szałem,
która na oślep leci bez oręża,
Lecz tę, co sama niezdobytym wałem
Przeciwne losy stałością zwycięża.

Asnyk is definitely one of my favorites. I am going to have to buy a book about him and his poetry. I find this version equally good.

Can you at least be honest enough to stick to your own way of twisted thinking, you were saying before that companies are flocking back to the UK were the wages are high, so why should they be so determined to move out of Poland and go to low wage countries? I know that you probably don't have the mental capability of following your own argument, butt at least somebody on this thread has.

26th June 2012
Experts from bank HSBC and research firm Delta Economics predict that in the next 15 years the sale of Polish products abroad will be growing 5.6 percent a year. According to their most recent forecasts, no other country will be able to enjoy such high dynamic of growth in this period.

News / British senior politician compares Poland to South Africa during apartheid [129]

They do, and not only in Poland. I don't remember Poland having something called the Bradford riots though. Besides this has nothing to do with apartheid, anybody who does is an imbecile. Just because the UK is struggling to assimilate its minorities, does not mean that countries that do not have the same problem are worse. The Labour MP in question should remember that Poland has 2 black members of parliament, which means that per head of population that is more than the UK, which prides itself on political correctness.

Besides the reception that the England team got in Poland was fantastic, so i am not sure why they are trying to create a problem were none exists. And if the England players feel so strongly about the issue perhaps they should boycott playing with the England captain Terry, who has a track record of racial abuse.

Big deal, as my old school motto says "Palma Merenti" or in the immortal words of Stefan Batory: 'Disce puer latine, ego te faciam mości panie.'

How pathetic you have been reduced to guessing what I supposedly do. And no I don't work for my dad, i work in the public service.


Like i said you need to give your thick head an hour to process the information before commenting, I said no such thing. I said that Poland needs a few years of the boom cycle.


Without a growing GDP, the standard of living will not increase fool.


But the average wage has increased you fool. You are making a complete joke of yourself. Take your own advice and refrain from writing.

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]

In regards to the definition provided.

1. Recovery phase: Poland wasn't in a recession so it hasn't gone through the recovery phase.
2. Working at full or near full capacity: Although Poland isn't working at full capacity, based on the previous year's GDP growth rate which was 4.3%, it can be said that it is close to full capacity since anything at 4.5% or above can be said to be full capacity. The economic sweet spot for Poland is somewhere between 4.5%-4.8%, anything above 4.8% will mean that Poland will have serious inflationary problems as supply struggle to meet demand.

3. strong consumer demand: Consumer demand is quite strong in Poland.
4.Low rate of unemployment: Given that the average rate of unemployment for Poland over a period of 10 years is closer to 15%, the current rate of 12% means that unemployment is relatively low.

5. Rising stock market: The stock market can't be said to be rapidly rising, it can be described as achieving low levels of growth. Then again the stock market is not necessarily an accurate reflection of economic reality, especially in a country like Poland.

6. increasing consumer prices: Yes, inflation is on the up in Poland that is why the interest rate is going up.

Indeed, the less you comment the better for everyone concerned.


Come again, you do realize that i am currently not in Poland.


Only the second part of the definition you provided meets the economic definition of a boom. This is a more accurate working definition of a boom:

Period that follows recovery phase in a standard economic cycle. A boom is characterized by an economy working at full or near-full capacity, strong consumer demand, low rate of unemployment, and a rising stockmarket, usually accompanied by rapidly increasing consumer prices

Before you write, take aside an hour to think and then try to write, and who knows you might write something intelligent, instead of the mindless rubbish you come up with.

Believable or not people do not necessarily become wiser with age, take you for example-you are becoming more foolish with age.


You shouldn't twist my words, I am firmly of the belief that it is booming. I merely said that it needs quite a few years of boom time before it reaches its potential.

Middle class probably describes it best. And yes my dad is also a doctor he currently works as a GP and as a anesthetist here in Australia, incidentally my brother is also a doctor-but that's beside the point. My dad's first place of work outside of Poland (in Poland he worked In Zakopane and Nowy Targ), was in Zimbabwe-in a Italian mission hospital, then he moved to South Africa and the family followed him there. He was usually contracted with mining companies, either De Beers or Anglo American. We stayed in South Africa and later Botswana for about 10 years, in predominantly rural areas-Afrikaans was the first language is some of the SA schools that I attended.

As we started growing up-my siblings and I, our future came into consideration. And we decided that there probably wouldn't be a future for us in SA, with Government corruption, incompetence, and subtle discrimination at an all time high. So my dad made the decision to move to either Canada or Australia, we got quite used to the warm climate so Australia was our choice of destination.

It's true that doctors do well in Poland, but they tend to do well in most countries, lawyers not necessarily.

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]


Sure, I will start with my dad's side of the family: Some of them are doing well others not so well, pretty much like every family the world over. My cousin works as a doctor in his mother's practice, my niece is studying medicine in Krakow. My other cousin is still in high school, so are his two sisters. His oldest sister works as a salesperson for a perfume store in London. Two of my aunties are doctors, one is a teacher. One of my uncles works as a pod Stygar (middle management) in a coal mining company, his wife works as a teacher. One of my uncles is unemployed, but its more to do with his willingness to work and mental health.

My mother's side of the family: there isn't much to tell since she is an only child, I do have some second cousins who are involved in business and construction.

As to my stance I am guessing you would have worked it out by now. I am obviously very excited about the transformation taking place in Poland, its something that would have been never dreamed of 20 years ago. Obviously I realize that the country still has a way to go, but they should reach a standard of living that resembles contentment (if the is possible since Polish people are very hard to satisfy) in probably no more than 15 years time.

It a stupid argument to make. By setting up "big Business" creates jobs, and pays taxes, so not only do the people employed by business benefit, but so does the whole country because of the money poring into state coffers. Many businesses even go beyond the call of duty by giving money to charities etc.

Obviously businesses make profits, without making a profit they wouldn't exist. And condemning them for making a profit is moronic, its like hating humans for eating because they want to stay alive. And my observation of a booming Poland, because of all the construction i witnessed is far more valid than yours, about people not buying junk in supermarkets.
