News / 9 year old Polish girl and 10 year old brother killed by World War II bomb [46]

Many countries in the world, including the losers Germany and Japan, had completely destroyed cities too and managed to not only build them back, but to become part of the most important economies of the world. So I'd say rebuilding destroyed cities doesn't automatically mean hampering development, nor new cities would have automatically been built.

I've read journos which meant that was actually the reason WHY the losers became the economical winners some years later.
They got the chance to "start from scratch" and to re-build hypermodern as everything had been flattened but the winners had to make do with the same old aged crap.

Quite a theory mind you...after that it would mean that all the economical basket cases of today need just a good 'ol fashioned mass bombardement.

Hungary - The Rest of the World 8:0 :)

More about Hungary:

In addition to his native Hungarian, Pál Schmitt speaks German, French and English[2] His family name Schmitt is German for smith, indicating a German family background.

Heh:)

UK, Ireland / Poles in Ireland by Peadar de Burca. They "turned their backs on a country that gave them" [195]

PoLish culture is a joke,

Actually you should be natural allies with Poland...you both suffered larger neighbours...you both send your youth out to emigrate into the world in masses for centuries...you both have no idea how to play football...

Well...okay...Polands rising economy is not because of a bubble and a cheap corporate tax...I'll give you that but else? Maybe soon Irish will look in Poland for work? How about starting to learn Polish!

News / "Shale Gas Revolution" will make Poland a Leading Country in Europe! [202]

Eastern Germany was a toxic catastrophe...here too people only thought about the resources and not about the environment. It stank!
Just now, 20 years after it starts to look nice again!

I really thought modern Europe got over such short sighted thinking...we are not in China.
But should Poland really profit that much from that shale gas they should give a share to their neighbours who suffer the consequences!

At least not today and not tomorrow:

Polish Official Dampens Prospects of Early Shale Gas Flows

Ongoing investments in shale gas exploration in Poland are likely to bear fruit in 2020 or later, and credible estimates of production levels are still some four years away, according to the deputy environment minister.

"In four years, maybe three, we will know how much shale gas there is in Poland when exploration under already awarded licences is finished," Henryk Jacek Jezierski told Reuters on Tuesday.

"Production is certainly not possible in 2012, rather 2020, if not later," he added.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

Not when you are more concerned with spending her milk than with feeding her...

Governments who spend the most money on their people and are supportive of them are in the countries with the highest standards of living.

Why do you think they got the highest standards of living? Because of financing it with welfare???

God PP!!! ;)

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

That's when the government will have to do a bit more spending...

Do you think the government is a cash cow??? ;)

There are the handlers only...not the owners or the doers or the makers...if there isn't much to spend, shouldn't they better feed the cow before starving her and taking her milk till she is dead?

What then? Onto the next cow?

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

The only thing we can be sure about is that they have the capacity to surprise and shock us.

Well...they started from the bottom...every small progress looks big now.
That should shock our developed countries who build up our society much more successful for much longer because...?
They are just following our lead...and not even very well. They could had started with a cleaner industry and avoided all our errors, but they didn't. Stupid, not shocking!

So yeah, the social programs do help.

PP...that wasn't the topic!

What about your statement "welfare = status"?

In the future it may well become just that. Things can change faster than you expect.

They will have to. They just brought a documentation to show how toxic big parts of China have become because of that unrestructed boom.
One reason they could expand so quickly and so cheaply is that the industry has had no environmental laws to fulfill.

Only recently the awareness is rising in China...but now millions of people are already heavily suffering from waste and toxine...lakes, rivers, forests...dying. It will soon become a huge problem!

...Despite a recent interest in environmental reform, pollution has made cancer the leading cause of death in 30 cities and 78 counties, the Ministry of Health says.[1]
Only 1 percent of the country's 560 million city inhabitants (2007) breathe air deemed safe by the European Union

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

BB, Germany does the same thing, I bet, and it has a really strong economy. Government spending can help an economy.

No...that wasn' the topic. I wondered about your statement that welfare decides the status of a country. As in the more the state spends the more developed it becomes.

I find that hard to believe...and alone your own country, the US, makes rather a good counter argument....I think...

Do you know that East Germany made a point out of a from-cradle-to-grave-welfare? They had been broke before 1989. Nobody ever thought to place them as a first world country!

(Actually all state controlled countries got broke sooner or later)

Welfare is nice...but only for those countries who can afford it...and to afford it they need a functioning, dynamic economy/society...not more welfare!

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

Interesting concept....State welfare determines if a country is seen as first or third world?

I always thought the US is not as keen on welfare as...say...Germany. But nobody disputes that they have been for decades and still are the leading #1 of the developed, rich countries (finance crisis or not) and not Germany.

How come?

News / POLES FEEL LIKE JEWS HAVE TOO MUCH CONTROL IN POLAND - TRUE? [209]

Forget about maps of relatively recent centuries. What about 1500BC? What about before that?

Look again at that map MW...

The red shows the settlement and direction of expansion of the germanic tribes about 750 BC...the green color shows the settlements around the year 1. And the inbetweens...

That's mostly modern Germany and Poland.

Frankly I found other maps too of Slavs being in the lands of todays Eastern Germany/Poland area while the Germanics were STILL in the Denmark area.

Are we talking mainstream acknowledged history here? Crowie can also make maps, you know, but that's not the same.
If you really have knowledge most others don't then you should publish it...

I thought it was a given that people knew that.

How? I have never seen such map and even Poland wiki doesn't make such claims....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistory_and_protohistory_of_Poland

...Celtic, Germanic and Baltic tribes inhabited various parts of Poland.
Eventually, in the Middle Ages, the area came to be dominated by Slavic tribes and finally became home to a number of West Slavic Polish tribes that formed small states in the region, beginning in the 8th century...

You see...first the Celts, then the Germanics, then the Slavs...in that order!

Don't get eastern Europe or southern Europe mixed up with central Europe. The existence of Slavs in those lands far before they wandered into what is now Germany/Poland wasn't disputed.

Even your maps show that the Germanics came from Northern Europe/Denmark area.

Of course they came from there...that too wasn't disputed. But they wandered...as Germanics did from the beginning.
They wandered from the North into central Europe as it was still settled by Celts...they then settled there too, around 1600 BC...expanded and expanded for centuries (as the map shows) and around 500 AD later the Slavic people wandered into this territorr from the East.

Also your Slavic peoples wikipedia also shows that the early Slavics were already part of mainland Europe while the Germanics were mostly in the top part of Europe.

Umm...really MW...cume ooon...that isn't rocket science!
You disputed the settlements of modern Germany and Poland and "who was first"! Not the history of the rest of Europe! ;)

Which theory was rebuffed when and by whom?

Just show me an official map about Slavs in central Europe around the year 0 AD. Maybe we can compare?

Just you saying "no it isn't so", is no real rebuffing ya know!

Slavs were around 500 year late to settle in central Europe, AFTER the Celts and AFTER the Germanics. That is proven mainstream knowledge also with slavic scholars and historians!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_peoples

You not liking international recognized facts on this forum aren't a "rebuffing".
