Polonia / What do you, as a Pole, think of Albania (as a land, history etc...) and Albanians (girls and guys)? [12]
I don't think Poles spend much time thinking or even caring about Albania.
If they have any views at all,they will be pretty negative....

Yes.
I used to hate that herring when I was young, but like many people, my tastes have changed as I have got older and I now love many foods that I hated when I was young.
Maybe I should give herring another go.....it was "dem bones" that got me the first time...... :-)
Was that in England?
Yes.
And delicuous too!

History / Why is Poland weaker than Russia? [390]
My Dear Lyzko.As is so often the case when you respond to peoples posts you go off on a wild tangent and discuss stuff that was not in the original post just to make some sort of point of your own.
Please stick the comments in the posts you are referring to!
I did not try to compare Russia with Poland.So why are you doing it?
Nor did I try to compare the number of Russian speakers to that of Polish.
My point was, that despite it's size and population, Russia is still a very poor and backward country.
And have not seen any real progress in many years.
The only way they will is by embracing a more liberal and democratic attitude,which will allow them to be more accepted by the west and seek reforms and maybe even help.
I would love to see a free, democratic Russia embraced as a friend by The West.
But Putin prefers the status quo because it suits his personal ambitions.
, Russia's got Poland beat by kilometers.

Russia is where it has been for most of it's history.
A poor, vast, backward state on the fringe of Europe, on the fringe geographically, politically, culturally and financially.
And unless it embraces reform, it will remain there.

News / What should Poland do to solve the population crisis? [101]
It is not the number, Rich.
Before pensions couples tended to have large families because your kids WERE your pension.
That is still true in many countries that don't have pensions.
Since that need has been taken away people are having less children,less than 2 per couple in some countries.
We need kids to support and pay for the pensions of people who are living longer and longer.
So, how did the humans manage when there were only 1 billion of them?

But this is a problem and requires a solution, right?
And not just for Poland.
For most of the "Advanced West".
So where does this discussion go from here?
I already offered my compromise solutions.
Native Europeans don't want to have children and neither they want immigrants.

He does with Brits and I have no idea why.I may be British but my blood is as Polish as his.
My personal opinion is Poland needs a bit of both promoting birth rates in Poland and controlled immigration.
They promoted birth rates in France about 30 years ago and it worked to a degree,I have friends who were persuaded to have a third child because of it.
They are trying to do it in Hungary now,we will see how that works out.
Vlad 1234's suggestion of allowing other Slavs in is a good one.Not very culturaly problematic.
But Poland should heed what has gone wrong in Western Europe and control the number of non europeans coming in.(For cultural reasons).
But I think some more exotic immigrants would be good for Poland.
Variety is the spice of life but too much spice is not good for you.
Sorry that you have an inferiority complex Ziemowit
