Law / Buying and legally using second hand car in Poland; I'm EU citizen [27]

Does anyone know if you need the contract to register a vehicle? I just bought a Polish registered motorcycle and the contract is in my name, but it will not be registered to me. Also, the bike is currently insured under the previous owner, will proof of insurance do as far as registering it?

I've got the rest of the documentation (book and reg card). Just was wondering about the contract and the insurance.

Thanks

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

What part of "there is a shortage of new builds" did you not understand?

I think I can solve the shortage problem. There are tons of unsold new builds here in Wroclaw that I'm sure the owners would be willing to allow people to purchase.

Polonia / New Polish Portal About Germany [10]

Interesting statistics on which Germans voted for Nazis....

The ones that didn't have their own party to look out for their interests?

The Austrians were all about national socialism...

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

Those violent hoodlums need to be thrown in jail, for a good long time.

I like the procession idea! Especially when they do it on their knees.

It would be the easy solution. If you control it, make it somber, put some sad music on, televise it, speeches by JK, BK, and some priest. Done deal. It wouldn't have much value to either party and it would be over and done with.

News / POLISH GAS RESERVES [40]

Would norway be a good option, or would you suggest the ruskies or the germans, or would poland be able to do it all without outside help?
Probably not since they're already sold drilling rights to an american company and i;ve been told that some german companies are sniffing around too

If they can't do it themselves. I mean, business is business. The idea of tying a Polish contract to a certain nation is something that belongs in the last century. The need to go for the best deal they can get, if that means buying the technology and doing it themselves, so be it. Personally I think the best bet would be to pay for another company to go in and liberate those hydrocarbons for the Polish market and just use the threat of harvesting them to drive down the price of Russian gas.

The Norwegians aren't going to help, I don't think that Statoil has experience with shale gas.

News / POLISH GAS RESERVES [40]

The initial drilling costs more, but running costs are the same as conventional wells. The environmental impact is much worse unless you don't care about your water supply.

Wood Mackenzie has estimates at 48tcf, which is 10% of the estimated European shale reserves.

Norway is sitting on 80tcf of proven conventional reserves which are already being exploited.

Remember, there are zero proven reserves in Poland at the moment....

With Nordstream, the Russians can drop the price of their Turkmen and Siberian gas.

It's going to be interesting. Hopefully the price of gas will bottom out, good for everyone right? Poland will have home grown supplies, Russia won't be able to make nearly as much money, and consumers will be able spend money on things other than energy...

Alright, it's already been discussed but here goes. Poland has enough gas reserves to supply the EU for almost 18 months.

News / Poland needs four children per family for sustain survivor and development [46]

We can talk of increased Polish birth rate or we can talk of immigration to Poland from other countries

Why? Why not just let the population drop down to a sustainable amount? Why more? What benefit does it bring for a country with limited resources? How does introducing more competition for a limited amount of resource help Polish people?

News / Poland needs four children per family for sustain survivor and development [46]

what you say is when USA stimulate increase of population it is `consumption=wealth` and when some Slavs suggests similar measures in Slavic countries its Nazism?

Did you understand what I wrote? Why are you tying those two together?

What I wrote was that the concept that consumption=wealth is idiotic, probably the biggest economic problem in the world today. Why would that be something to move towards?

I also wrote that you seem to advocate a race oriented socialist view, and you probably have a lot in common with the nazi platform. Did you read it? Which points do you not agree with?

people.westminstercollege.edu/faculty/mmarkowski/H113/AH/platform.html - Nazi platform

Replace German with Slav and Jew with Muslim. You don't agree with it?

Here, I'll do it for you.

1.
We demand the unification of all Slavs in the Greater Slavia on the basis of the right of self-determination of peoples.
2.
We demand equality of rights for the Slav people in respect to the other nations; abrogation of the treaties of NATO and the EU.
3.
We demand land and territory (colonies) for the sustenance of our people, and colonization for our surplus population.
4
Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race can only be one who is of Slav blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently no Muslim can be a member of the race.

5.
Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Slavia only as a guest, and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.

6.
The right to determine matters concerning administration and law belongs only to the citizen. Therefore we demand that every public office, of any sort whatsoever, whether in Slavia, the county or municipality, be filled only by citizens. We combat the corrupting parliamentary economy, office-holding only according to party inclinations without consideration of character or abilities.

7.
We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to sustain the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) are to be expelled from Slavia.

8.
Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Slavs, who have immigrated to Slavia since 1990, be forced immediately to leave Slavia.

9.
All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.
10.
The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all Consequently we demand:

11.
Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.
12.
In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

13.
We demand the nationalisation of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
14.
We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
15.
We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
16.
We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.

17.
We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.

18.
We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, Schieber and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.

19.
We demand substitution of a Slav common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order.
20.
The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious Slav to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.

21.
The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.

22.
We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army.
23.

We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. In order to enable the provision of a Slav press, we demand, that:

a. All writers and employees of the newspapers appearing in the Slav language be members of the race;
b. Non-Slav newspapers be required to have the express permission of the State to be published. They may not be printed in the Slav language;

c. Non-Slavs are forbidden by law any financial interest in Slav publications, or any influence on them, and as punishment for violations the closing of such a publication as well as the immediate expulsion from Slavia of the non-Slav concerned. Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life, and the closure of organizations opposing the above made demands.

24.
We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger its existence or oppose the moral senses of the Slavic race. The Party as such advocates the standpoint of a positive Christianity without binding itself confessionally to any one denomination. It combats the Muslim-materialistic spirit within and around us, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within on the framework: The Common Good before the individual good.

25.
For the execution of all of this we demand the formation of a strong central power in Slavia. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general. The forming of state and profession chambers for the execution of the laws made by Slavia within the various states of the confederation. The leaders of the Party promise, if necessary by sacrificing their own lives, to support by the execution of the points set forth above without consideration.

News / Poland needs four children per family for sustain survivor and development [46]

let`s see what USA doing when wants to stimulate increase of its population. USA has its official state measures that deal with increase of USA population but USA also has private agencies that (for profit) helping immigration to USA. Very interesting. See for yourself... [imagine that Poland start to behave this way. You can`t imagine that, isn`t it? Poland has different role in international community, we know that.]

What's your point? The US needs as many people as possible to keep up the charade that consumption=wealth.

And what are you thoughts about the national socialist platform? Model for greater Slavia?

News / Poland needs four children per family for sustain survivor and development [46]

i don`t wish to connect my suggestions for more new born Poles, with defect ideologies such was/is Nazism. My love for Poles and for my own Serbian people, after all for all Slavs, does not include hate for all who aren`t Slavs. i don`t feel hate for others but i simple talk about things that are necessary for survivor of Poland as ethnic Polish state, in global village. For one, Poland needs more new born Poles. Its simple as that

Just ignore the stigma that is attached to it, read over the platform, and tell me that you don't agree with it.

Increased population would generate new demands for consumption. New consumption would generate new production. More people in a system would generate demands for batter state organization and efficiency. Etc, etc.

With the idea that quantity drives progress. Quality drives progress. Technology drives efficiency, thus the need for less people. Look at how many people a single farmer can feed vs 100 years ago. Same goes for manufacturing. More people is the problem, not the solution.

Life / Who's Leaving Poland? [138]

Youve been to England right? you must have visited a few pubs. In Europe they call them bars, i mean if im ever in a foreign country i usually hunt down the nearest Irish pub - same thing.

A bunch of times. Sadly me, a foreigner, has seen a couple close :(

The closest that I've gotten to a English pub was the local neighborhood pubs in Prague. Same people every night, cosy atmosphere, food... an extended living room more or less. oh yea, and you can smoke and there's no closing time :)

but, after i said that Poland needs more Poles, i am labeled as Nazi?

You are associating national socialism (the political ideology) with the acts of the German National Socialists.

If you read the Nazi party platform, replace "German" with "Slav", and I think that you will probably find yourself nodding your head quite a bit.

don`t tell me that there is not enough food in Poland for less then 40 mil citizens there? if so, the go on streets and protest against your incompetent and corrupt politicians

Poland isn't a communist nanny state. Breeding makes for hungry mouths, which requires work to feed them. The education system here is in such dire shape, that people graduate with no work skills and end up working some crappy job. The majority of the people with large families can barely take care of them.

I hear that about Serbs quite a bit, addicted to that socialism...

Eh, yes and no. It has the same stature as in TCR but the difference, I'd say, is that in TCR they go all out to drink. In Britain, you can eat and play darts, pool etc etc. I didn't see that that much in TCR and I've been there 3 times. There is some common ground for sure.

Most of the locals have food, cards, etc. I think that is the main similarity that I see, it has a much more personal feel to it in CZ, every block has it's own local pub with the same faces every night. One of the things that I really miss actually.

Because they need to enslave ever more working people to pay for their communist social security schemes.

Poland needs to go to private pensions invested in Polish companies, not state bureaucracy.

Poland doesn't need even more unskilled people with hungry mouths to feed.

Yeah, the pub culture is different. It's more of a communal affair back in Britain. The pub is like an institution. The owners tend to take more pride in their business and treat regular locals a fair bit better.

Sounds like CZ
