Why are Czechs more effective than Poles and Poland? [116]
Silly comparison
Poland:Free for 50 of the past 200 years
Invaded by 4 nations (including Slovakia)
Decimated during WW2 and mostly not rebuilt
Never gave in to Hitler
Fueled the break up of the Iron Wall
Polish industries were stripped by Nazis, Soviets and then Allies
I remember back in the late 1990's, the gap & more importantly future forecast of the two nations was significantly wide. But the current picture is different. It's fairly obviously Czech with it's smaller size, less foreign occupations and less post war rebuilding; would be more organized and efficient. But Poland has the distinct upside in the future. Poland is the one with access to the sea and in general a more contrasting landscape. Czech is overtly reliant on Prague, while Poland simply has more to offer. Considering the public relations improvement we've seen from Poland in the past 5-10 years, it's just a matter of time before Poland catches up in terms of organization. A lot of the current issues are byproducts of Communist society just 20 years ago but that is dying out along with that specific population of people.
People take shots at the church and I understand why but you are ignoring it's positive influence during Occupation. For better & worse, it is a staple of modern day Polish society until.....it also decreases along with that specific population of people.
