News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]


Eh ? If Polish TV was searching for a German guy creating similar stuff about Germans, paying EUR 10.000 for each 5 min show, I'm sure there would be crowds of Gerries willing to take that "job".

I don't find it insulting, I find it rather pathetic and tasteless but I understand why some people find it insulting. "Don't be so oversensitive" crowd should understand that It's not Allo Allo kind of humor, It's primitive, tasteless stuff.

News / MORE ANTI-POLISH SENTIMENT IN GERMANY [280]


I'm sure vast majority of Poles wouldn't have been offended If they have included a Polish guy being drunk half the time, stealing German military vehicles, hidding chased by 3 women, each being a mother of his child etc. If it was done the way other nationalities were portrayed there. The problem with German jokes about Poles is that they use to show some guy, who smell of cow ****, his kids are ugly and dirty etc. and that's not funny, that's simply pathetic.

in Poland jokes about Germans are rare and always in good taste.

Law / Poland headed for an accounting disaster? Imports underestimated, no Euro entry [19]


Poland is a mess and It's getting worse each year, Tusk and his clowns are ruining this country, we've got 8% of GDP budget deficit and no realistic plan to reduce it, taxes are going up, bureaucracy is a huge problem and It's getting worse, in rankings of conditions for business we are behind many 3rd world countries, what's worst, we were made nig*ers in our own country, banks and most companies were sold to foreigners, what really matters is not value of good and services produced in Poland but how much local people get out of it, not much really, unless huge changes are made, I don't see Poland ever getting even close to EU average, It will be good If the whole damn thing don't collaps totally, however I don't think GUS is faking statistics... looks like the controversy arose over Poland and Germany reporting much different trade balances with each other, that's due to different methodologies of foreign trade calculations in these countries. For example If goods from China goes to Germany and next to Poland, Gerries classify It as import from China and export to Poland, Poland classify It as import from China, so then the size of export to Poland reported by Germany doesn't add up to the size of import from Germany reported by Poland. Oy vey !

Study / Which university (erazmusem)? Poznań, Lublin, Krosno and Białsko-Biała. [17]


UAM is one of the best universities in Poland, Catholic univ in Lublin is quite good, not sure which schools from other 2 towns but most probably they are far behing, however this is about general reputation of the school, not necessarily quality of the programme you are interested in.


But still +95% of people living there are Polish, so I don't know what they ment... too many foreign students ?

Do you expect anyone here (other than "Harry") to treat you seriously ?

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


Which one ? You are mixing 2 things: a habit to ignore the regulations, which is the real problem and has not too much to do with Błasik, he was just a part of this system, he didn't create it, Jak-40 hardly landed, they could as well end up like Tu-154, these things have been always like that, making Błasik a scapegoat is not only wrong but simply disgusting as the man is dead and can't defend himsef, all his critics have to say about him is that he was "not nice", I didn't hear about anyone talking even a word about his supposed alcohol problems. The other thing are some anonymous (real or made up) claims of American soldiers that Poles in Afghanistan are worth s*it. If you listen to individual soldiers serving there you could hear the same about British, German, Americans and all the rest.

Checking alcohol level in pieaces of body several days after death can never give fully trustful results, besides many Russian generals still rarely go down to 0.6, so Russians underlining again and again "drunkness" of Błasik are quite irritating (usual human s*its talking about it again and agian, that's not surprising thought), however It's obvious that vast majority of responsibility for this crash is on Polish side, so I don't know what we are "fighting" for... That idiot Tusk and his clowns again make us look like a bunch of muppets.


Military people in general take pride in doing stupid things. That's why in my opnion the air force shouldn't operate the VIP flights, they should have airplanes and crews leased from LOT or If it has to be in military, they should have the same airplanes as LOT and crews should be trained the same way, pass the same tests and at best even serve as pilots on some civilian flights when there are no VIP flights in that period. That should guarantee the proper behavior. They've been treating these Tupolevs and Jaks as If they were MiGs.

Study / The worst of Polish education. No wonder Polish universities are bottom of the list. [142]

The system is wrong. If one needs 100h of learning (in free time) some usless nonsense to pass the exam then can anyone be surprised that they area cheating ? I would be more worried If they didn't.


I've just checked some ranking. All the top places go to the universities from US/UK/Australia/Canada. The best German is in the 6th ten, the best Russian is around the 100th position and the best Italian near the end of the 2nd hundred. The only way to make such ranking useful is to print it and leave in the toilet.

News / Poland goes bankrupt? [110]


Are you trying to be funny ? Why don't you open a poll on PF to see how many Polish citiznes here approve that ?


You seem to be no less populistic than your hero Tusk.


If tens of billions of public spendings disappear from year to year then many private companies in retail and especailly those in B2G sector i.e. supplyinig the army, working on public construction projects etc. won't make It despite being effective (good business plan, capital structure, sensible costs etc.) as there won't be enough time to adjust to new conditions, domestic demand gap will be simply too big to balance It with anything else. If you need to have such things explained, you should dare not to speak up in such discussions.


If the only goal of the ruling party is "let's win the next elections" It's a straight path to disaster and that's what we are witnessing now.

News / Poland goes bankrupt? [110]


Exactly. First It was all Kaczynski fault, next presidential elections, next local elections... now parliamentary elections... f*ck, there are always some elections, If they had wanted to reform anything, It would have been done long ago. Especially that not all reforms are "socially sensitive", reducing bureaucracy, employment in administration, reforming justice system etc. but no, damn idiots increased employment in administration !!!


True. What's more, there was no recession in Poland (and not thanks to government idiots of course) and completely no reason to increase the deficit so much. It grew so huge because these idiots were increasing spendings ! The rise of teachers' salaries was the biggest ever !


True but It can change over night. A few articles, some comments from the rating agencies and that's it.

We are already in deep ****. ~8% of GDP public sector deficit with over +3% GDP growth (so it's not a recession thing) and billions from EU and from privatization (both temporary incomes) so the gap is terribly huge. They can either do nothing and we will be the next Greece in no more than 2 years or start very serious cuts and get us into recession as deficit reduction is good until It is by 1% of GDP a year, If more than that, the healthy comapnies living on domestic market will start bankrupting. I guess these are cuda the fools were promising.
