Work / I'M SO SURPRISED BY THIS SALARY FOR IBM in WROCLAW 3000 ZL gross [135]

You talk like you'd be suggesting that Poles likes their low wages...

What I am saying is that low wages is not in the public interest.

Actually Zitigrek owning your own business is the only way to go no matter where you live.

I don't think it's any secret that the backbone of the country is in the black economy.

If people have to depend on the Black Economy they aren't getting paid enough.

you're spoiled, guys...

An American Ex-pat was in Mexico shopping when a local came up to her and said what are you looking for? She said I'm looking for a dishwasher. He said, why don't you hire a dishwasher?

If people are willing to work cheap enough to wash dishes than there isn't any reason to design and manufacture dishwashers is there? So PGTX is it better for people to build and design dishwashers or wash dishes???

Answer: they ain't spoiled! In the long run low wages kill productivity.

News / U.S. role in Poland is shrinking [82]

Poland can be self sufficient but it isn't. Poland should do now what it should have done in the 1920's and work on becoming more self sufficient.

U.S Role in [Country Name] is Shrinking.

Yeah, that just about says it all for me.

Richasis, success comes from failure.

Life / Foreign crap OK, Pułaski not! [14]

That xenophilic trait is among the reasons Poles have not really developed their own, indigenous style in many areas. It it largely a copy-cat society.

Probably because Poles have been politically dominated by Foreign Nationals for the past two or three hundred years. Politically a divided people, no? It sure appears that way reading this forum

Actually Americans have a higher opinion of Polaks than the Poles do. Pulaski and Kosciusko have all kinds of towns and counties and roads named after them. All from their contribution two hundred years ago. Polish people probably don't know who they were.

UK, Ireland / The more subtle differences: Ireland/Britain v Poland [310]

Bzibzioh:
They had a habit of sleeping naked with their bedroom door open

English like to shock. Especially people who they perceive to be overly sensitive.

Wash the grime of the day off..rather than sleep in..Always been an evening and morning showerer...But I will concede an old house mate of mine used to the morning thing until I called her a skank for doing so..

Now wait, if your mate showers in the morning and you shower in the evening...perfection!

Law / Best Polish returns on $100,000? [23]

Buy the Zloty. Preferably Polish Government Bonds or Treasury Notes. This way you get the appreciation and the interest.

Life / Can you buy de-icer in Poland? [11]

What's cheaper rubbing alcohol or cheap vodka? Either way put about a pint or two in your windshield washer fluid along with water and that'll do the trick.

News / Human Trafficking in and from Poland [80]

Eurola, everybody can't be a Type A personality professional women. The pimps target the ladies that aren't too bright. Doesn't mean that the Polish Government can't devote some resources rescuing these girls from their circumstances. It's terrible that they allow this to go on, labor and sex trafficking.

News / Does it seem to you that Russia loves Poland now? [35]

At least Poland doesn't kill for its resources, eh?

What does this comment have to do with the price of tea in China???

Hello. The subject is Poland vis-a-vis the Russians.

Err.. it is totally the other way round. Russian gov. is nicer because Poles are buying a lot of their gas...

The Russians weren't nicer to the Ukulele's a couple winters ago. Russki = Overbearing and Heavy handed.

News / Does it seem to you that Russia loves Poland now? [35]

Does it seem to you that Russia loves Poland now

With your common history? No, of course not. Poland needs to wake up. There are too many conflicting interests with Russia for the Poles to be buying their natural gas. Poland needs to generate its own energy resources (coal, ag, wind, etc.) pronto. In the mean time quit playing footsie with the Russkies and buy your gas from Norway, even it's twice as expensive. You have no conflicting interests with Norway. They are not a threat. Buy their gas. Stay away from Russia.

Love / THE POLISH DISEASE, wanna marry a Polish girl ? read on... [197]

I think there's some kind of difference with them, but I don't know what it is exactly, and it's a touchy subject trying to discuss it

Cultural differences. You pays you money you take your choice (of course these are generalities)

English women: can cook & sew, good with kids, good humor, stiff upper lip, routine

Polish women: hard working, good house keepers, intelligent, ambitious, surprise

USA, Canada / EMPIRE STATE BUILDING IN NYC DISRESPECTS POLISH AMERICANS! [88]

Pulaski???? What about Kosciuszko?

As a national hero in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and the United States, Kościuszko has given his name to many places around the world and numerous monuments. The Polish explorer Count Paweł Edmund Strzelecki named the highest mountain in Australia, Mount Kosciuszko, after him. The mountain is the central feature of Kosciuszko National Park.

Life / Bugs in Polish houses and apartments [78]

Yes, all spiders must die! I hate them all, especially the one in my kitchen sink at the moment preventing me from doing the dishes! Big fecker is too large to be drowned by tap water:( Now im preparing my deodrant can and lighter to fashion some kind of flame gun to kill him.

I was in my bathroom the other day looking about and it occurred to me how few bugs I have in my house. And I thought gee, those spiders must have nothing to eat. What the heck do they do for food as there aren't any bugs around for them to feed off? Just then it occurred to me, that there aren't any bugs around because yes...THE SPIDERS EAT THEM!!! OF COURSE!!

Love / Are Polish and Slavic men perhaps a little bit insecure sometimes? [113]

You have clearly never read anything by Florence King. She explains at length the southern (those below the Smith & Wesson line) psyche.

Florence King is a monarchist, an elitist. You know who they are, the same ones who marched through Poland in the 1940's.

Don't confuse Rednecks with elitist. Rednecks are working class Southerners and are not elitists.

stfu you stupid b*tch,

This statement is not passive aggressive. As stated previously if you are truly a 19 year old college student get your butt to a Naval recruiter and get into their medical units. But the more you post the more I think you're about 14 maybe 16 max.

USA, Canada / Do any other Polish Americans feel that our culture needs to be more well preserved? [38]

PolAms need to be culturally more assertive and expose fellow-Americfans to our unique cultrual contributions. The Jews, Balcks, Hispanics, Irish, Arabs and others are doing so. Czy my gorsi?

No, that's not Polish people. Polish people assimilate. Some ethnic groups assimilate, some don't. Why do you want Polish people to be like Blacks, Hispanics, Irish or Arabs???? Why can't Poles be Poles??
