History / Poland, Lacking External Enemies, Turns on Itself [106]

I like this Poland! :)

I like that Poland too, just should always think things through before making choices, some politicians don't even bother ending up hurting Poland.

5,000 to 25,000 ? Isn't that more then 100% increase?! ;)

It is but it's still not much, when the morning call to prayer wakes you up in your neighborhood that's when u got a problem.

Poland just isn't that popular a country for terrorist cells, unlike Germany

Probably because Poland has a tiny Muslim community.Currently, the total number of Muslims in Poland is estimated at 31,000, of whom 5,000 are of Tatar extraction, plus 25,000 made up of immigrants and students, while another 1,000 are indigenous Polish people who had accepted Islam. in Germany: As of 2009, there are 4.3 million Muslims (5.4% of the population). Of these, 1.9 million are German citizens (2.4%). As of 2006, about 15,000 converts are of German ancestry.

Law / DELL shifting ops from Ire to PL [30]

Dell is a private firm that can move operations if it so chooses.

Exactly a private American firm

Law / DELL shifting ops from Ire to PL [30]

Poland wanted to and Germans supported it, saying no EU expansion without Poland, their overwhelming influence in the EU proved decisive.

PennBoy. I'm not having a jab at you here

Oh i know Seanus, we've been on a friendly footing for the past year or so ;)

Well - technically, she does. All she has to do is revoke the EU accession law and Poland is fully independent again.

True if she revokes it.

as a citizen of one EU state

So am I and that particular "state", country sounds more appropriate, i don't remember Poland handing over its sovereignty. And yes that all sounds very lovely on paper, he's still not Polish and shouldn't say certain things.

at no time does Delph claim his life is a struggle in Poland, quite the contrary, he promotes a land of opportunity for those that are willing to adjust

By his comments he's showing bitterness towards Poles and Poland if he's got a problem maybe he should leave, Poles aren't gonna adjust to him he's a guess in their country.

Sounds like your average "and finally..." human interest story. I see stories about other countries here all the time - so what's the problem?

The Polish over-sensitivity really gets on my nerves.

Well then why is your non-Polish a** on this Polish Forum? ur not even Polish and have the audacity to call someone who is a Plastic Pollack? why are you even in Poland?

It's funny - the people criticising this are just the same old Plastic Polacks

I'm Polish born and bred not Polish American, and you not living in the States have no idea what the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal say about Poland, you think they've had a change of heart all of the sudden?? don't be so naive. Some time last year i was watching the late night news, they were talking about local news something completely different, all of the sudden the anchor woman changes the subject for a few seconds and says "A Polish woman was stopped drunk driving in Poland she had 8 or 9% blood alcohol level" and then went to sports. And who do you think controls the media in this country?

Look at the title. "Poland, Lacking External Enemies, Turns on Itself".

I think you are overreacting, MediaWatch.

Knowing the New York Times and all the bad things they write about Poland u at the very least have to suspect bad intentions from them, like MediaWatch stated just look at the title they've chosen for this article, even if someone doesn't take the time to read it that's enough, u'd think "those idiots in Poland are fighting among themselves haha".

News / The Animated Guide to Economic Success of Poland [8]

Nice, Poland should make the most of it's geographic location. GNP is rising but much of it will now be used to lower it's debt, therefore actual GNP will be lower.

News / New Polish Light Tank - Anders [74]

Why don't you buy more Leopards??? They are the best and you make your neighbour happy...

They are the best, the American M1 Abrams has the Leopards gun and the British Challenger's armor. On the future battlefield light fast tanks are gonna be the choice, but that time isn't now and it seams like the Polish Army took this approach as a cheaper substitute.

New Polish Light Tank - Anders

It's Mostly based on the Swedish CV90 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Vehicle_90
but with a different gun, looks like the Leopard 2's Rheinmetall 120 mm smoothbore gun. And also named after a Polish German General Anders ;)

History / The Greatest King of Poland? [117]

Poland will be even more a religious country than it is now.

I doubt that, with all that's happened in the Catholic church, only the old generation still goes to church in masses.

History / Polish Air Force 1939-45 [8]

Before the war, the PZL.37B £oś was one of the world's most modern bombers. It was able to carry a heavier bombload than similar aircraft, for example the Vickers Wellington, though the size of the bombs was limited. Smaller than most contemporary medium bombers, it was relatively fast and easy to handle. Thanks to a landing gear with double wheels it could operate from rough fields or meadows.
