UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

The majority of ignorant people in England may be racist but they usually contain it in their over-idenification with soccer tribalism like their partners elsewhere.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

I think its a combination of brain damage inflicted by the second world war and communism and more recently crap capitalism...The Poles giving out about black people immigrants and Jews seems illogical and stupid as its based on an unpresent enemy.. All that brainwashing, supressing national identity, imprisonment and mass murder since 1939 has left a lot of people especially the uneducated poor in a sad state of grey rage,,They are free to hate.. However a lot of that skinhead bu11shit was imported from the UK so i doubt the brits need to worry about turning more racist from what i remember from living there in the early ninties.

History / Friedrich Nietzsche - Polish or German ? [73]

I think Nietzche had a strong inbuilt bullsh1t detector..I like his view on the slave mentality and i also like the way it was developed by Thomas szasz.I heard a lecturer from the states say that he lectured in Harvard in the sixties when Nietzche was addded to the curriculum and a lot of students had nervous breakdown when they read him.. He claimed that this type of depressed hysteria did not happen in Europe, but in America It was too much for their timid minds of american optimism. The effects Nietzche had on Poland? i have no idea, France for sure, i dont think the Polish pope would have like him so....

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

What happens if the decoded talks show that it was a case of authoritarianism - in the direction of the Polish President. He had a reputation for been pig headed and intolerant as we all know. If he has to be somewhere no fog will get in his way etc etc..

Or maybe the crash was a case of classic group-think, that did not ivolve the expertise of the pilots. This would be a massive embarrassment, especially after burying the President in sarcophagus. Lech Aleksander Kaczyński in a matter of minutes would turn from hero to villan.

If one of the above is the case, I would imagine that the truth would never be released in the name of patriotism and the greater good. To put it bluntly it would be a cover up.

Love / Not used to dating a Polish man [28]

maybe you need to develop a bit of intellect and a critical faculty.. I think they sell them in a shop in NYC.

Work / Minimum basic salary in Poland [96]


are you talking to me in some coded message or what?? or are you just mental?

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]

If there was a question mark it would be ok, it would then just be a real stupid question. But as it stands it it looks purposely misleading.

Work / Minimum basic salary in Poland [96]

Just over 2 Euro an Hour(4 times lower than Ireland). Thats why couples get 50 year mortgages and live on lettuce and milk until they get so old that their kids continue their mortgage..A real utopian society.

Life / HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE POLAND IN 2010? [84]

a complete focking mess

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]

Talking to a girl last night, she told me her sister got a nice central 2 bedroom apartment in wroclaw for 800 zloty a month.

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]

I agree with AJ here as for that other ape man Thatcher rant, what a load of b0l0x.
I think Poland could not be further from an equilibrium. It is still as much as ever Gods playground. Hijacked by the free market that manipulate the country as if its a game of monopoly.

I think its the eastern country that is been punished the most as its property purchasing section of the population is abroad earning a wage that is very far removed from the Polish salary. The hijacked property market is the spear in the side of Poland. Mean while they have a government that rallied under the flag of lets do as Ireland done, the blind leading the blind. I wonder what Donalds slogans is now "lets not do as Ireland done".

I firmly believe that Poland did not get the full effect of the world recession because its in an eternal recession. If your sleeping on the floor you cant fall out of the bed.

History / Friedrich Nietzsche - Polish or German ? [73]

I think old fred was a citizen of the world type..The aristocracy was all he agreed with and wanted to belong to. German or Polish would be seen as herd division to him.

But in general im with "Mak" above all the way, he seems to have hit the nail right on the head.

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]

Well wages are at least 4-6 times higher in Dublin so im talking euro not zloty...Paying 2500 zloty in a Polish city would be like paying 2500 euro in Dublin except in Dublin it is closer to 1000..Outside of Dublin a 4 bedroom house to rent for a month is less than a weeks wages...

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]


Well its nowhere near 2500 euro if you want to use equivalence,maybe 1000...No one in Dublin is anway near as ripped of as this..

But i suppose they will squash 6 people in..what a mess you'd be better off in a hostel

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]

still crazy price

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]

So the average wage is close to 700 euro a month is it...well thats great to hear...Is that true?????
are the Polish the second class citizens of europe that they must pay this price and have western europeans justifyng it. I earn about 700 euro a week in Ireland and I pay the same rent as is wanted for this..

Even if you earn 2700 zloty a month how can handing over all your wages to the lanlord be justified...what a mess

Real Estate / PLN 2,500 the going rate for an apartment in Poland [210]

This has to be a joke...2 people working would hardly earn this in a month.. Thing are really messed up if he gets anything near this(criminal)

Real Estate / Making an offer for Polish houses [30]

Dont check similar properties bought over the last 6 months, check prices in general over the last 6 to 10 years....get a perspective on how Fcuked up it all is over there. The is no reasonable price in property bubble. I f Polish wages triple this year well maybe then the prices might be reasonable.

Real Estate / Making an offer for Polish houses [30]

I would offer him 50 % and wait and if no reply wait a bit longer and if no reply wait a bit longer and hopefully by then he would be delighted with the 50% maybe even 30%. Or just rent and wait as gravity always wins..Buying now would not be a gamble just acute stupidity .

Or if you believe there is a buyer seller equilibrium in Poland LOL just give him 110 % and joint the rest of the herd.

Housing prices have stabilized , and soon they will grow again - convincing developers . Employees of real estate offices urge to buy and do not delude yourself into price reductions in the future. Financial advisors who are interested in selling mortgages ensure that more than a few percent reductions in housing prices will not.

Those who sell apartments on the secondary market , stubbornly maintain inflated prices , believing that someone in the end these properties will buy from them . Intending to buy an apartment postpone the decision , hoping that it will soon pay a few tens of percent less than today. Who is right ? In Poland it is a huge demand for housing , so prices will rise year on year by at least 10-15 per cent . Buy today because tomorrow will be more expensive - such slogans were recently fed . Is it really our market is so specific that we have to pay for housing as much as the people of Western Europe or the United States , although several are earning less than they?

History / DID THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT OF POLAND CENSOR MAIL IN AND OUT OF POLAND [29]

(Adamkamdon...) but what about dissidents and the right to privacy and civil rights etc etc etc....These orwellian soviet style acts(patriot) are an attak on democracy

surveillance and censorship work hand in hand, the distinction is blurred.. In Ireland there was section 31 and RUC /Gardai network surveillance.
I would imagine that the Stassi and co would use surveillence to detect dissidents and then concentrate on their letters and phone calls. Today it is much more advanced. They can listen in to us all.

History / DID THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT OF POLAND CENSOR MAIL IN AND OUT OF POLAND [29]

with this google surveillence thing on the news today and with it been nothing but the tip of the tip if the iceberg i wonder how much of our elecronic mail is read and disected today.Just watched that German movie recently "other peoples lives" it took a lot of manpower for the the stassi to operate. i doubt the Bush patriot act need as much to do their massive job.

Life / What's wrong with you, Polish people - is it an inferiority complex? [120]

The Poles were seen as the disputed bride of the two big powers on both sides since ever and then they get plunged into the web of the soviets. If you look back in history the jews went to the east because they were bet out of the then bigoted west. The poles were victims of constant brutality so l think they have need for our understanding not slagging..

Real Estate / How are Poland's properties priced? [51]

The prices of Property in Poland have absolutely nothing to do with the economy of the country.Crap little apartments in areas where there is almost zero chance of gaining employment and even if you got a job it would pay less than half of what you would get on the dole in Ireland sitting on your arse. The property is bases on the wages of Poles living outside the country and naive investors. The average property if based on Polish wages would be the prices of 2003-04 or maybe 20% more. Just look at Mandom etc etc and their prices if you want to see a big joke. Supply and demand is an issue as well with their scumbag politicions holding back development so they can leech their people dry.I think the recession will have to really really hit Europe before the property in Poland reflect its reality.As long as there are Poles in Ireland and England etc working in Mcdonalds and other sh1tholes the property will remain through the roof. The investors are now running and it is time for the Poles to refuse paying for property as if it was built with bricks of gold...Gods playground...

Work / Average monthly salary in Poland is around 1000 PLN (few hundred bucks). [387]

He could afford it because he saved up the money in England but my point is that this is still alot of money for a tiny wooden house in a country were the majority earn about 100 euro a week.Maybe he got a bad deal..

Work / Average monthly salary in Poland is around 1000 PLN (few hundred bucks). [387]

I know a guy who built a small two story wooden house in POland 6 months ago.It cost him 75000 Euro.(4 rooms). Thats still a huge amount of money in a country with such small wages.

Work / Average monthly salary in Poland is around 1000 PLN (few hundred bucks). [387]

Anyway the wages over there are sh1te and the house prices are a joke..What will happen in the future will be decided as usual by market forces and its so called invisible hand. The Polish like us all will have to take a back seat and watch the chaos.
