Erm would this anger about him signing it have anything to do with you being Russian? You know that he sided with the European's and when someone does that the Russians feel it is a step against them? Like with NATO.
What anger? I'm glad he signed it, but I think he was a cowardly idiot who bottled it when the heat was really on him to sign. Poland actually was in a fantastic position to get more - they needed him to sign before May 2010 - and instead of extracting concessions (the opt out gained wasn't nearly enough) - he simply meekly signed it. Pathetic and cowardly.
As for me being Russian? Hardly. And he sided with Europeans? Eerr....you really need to brush up on modern history - his Presidency was marked by conflict with the EU and acting like a pathetic lap-dog.
Well yeah but I still care about the country. I do not just look at what I can gain from it, I hope the country keeps its traditional values and is fair and just.
Again, you're not here, so what do you know about traditional values? For that matter, what do you know about traditional values? Certainly, traditional Poznanian values are actually quite different in some respects than Krakowian ones - but hey, you're not here, you don't know this stuff. As for PiS promoting them? Well - you might just want to ask yourself about the things that their politicians have been involved in. I don't remember the name, but there was one guy who was screaming from the rooftop about family values - but..uh...he was having an affair at the same time.
Not sure if that line is aimed at me but if it was, I never left Poland, I never lived there, so I never 'ran away.' My family is from there and I go there a lot.
Ah, Plastic Pole then. When you actually live here, you might get a clue.
A bit of a generalisation. I suppose it is not too dissimilar to what Adam Hoffman of PiS said about the people from the village who have gone mad that got an angry reaction.
Look at the electoral statistics. PO since 2007 have utterly dominated the cities and rural Western Poland, PiS are dominating small towns and villages in Eastern Poland.
Not sure where you get this information from but I would say there was actually quite a bit of corruption.
No worse than PiS or any other government. And in fact, things are getting tougher and tougher - but hey, you don't live here, you don't deal with anti-corruption measures on a weekly basis.
This is still totally normal for in many countries who have their own currency, to have to exchange money.
And it's a problem for businesses and private individuals alike. Perhaps you might want to start by analysing the damage done by the Swiss Franc to Poland recently.
What about the countries going bankrupt or close to it?
They're in that situation through their own inability to manage their countries, it's nothing to do with the Euro. Estonia is financially sound despite having to meet very tough criteria to join the Euro - because their government made difficult decisions.
Incidentally, Poland is riding the edge of trouble - and at one point, many people believed that Poland was going to fall - despite being non-Euro.
Actually it is a fact that that many [or a similar amount, I know it was more than a million] votes were void and were not counted because they were filled in, supposedly, badly. A bit suspicious that so many would get a simple voting application wrong. All it takes is for the vote counters to add a tick or 2 and it's void. Anyway if you think that the newspaper Gazeta Polska publishes lies, I wonder what truthful newspapers you read? Gazeta Wyborcza probably.
You know, you don't have a clue, do you?
Let's see what the PKW says about the 2007 Sejm election, shall we?
30615471 entitled to vote.
16495045 were issued ballot papers.
16477734 cast their vote.
16142202 were valid.
Where's this mythical "more than a million' votes? Ah - it's because Gazeta Polska told you so, and instead of actually checking with the PKW site, you believe what they say. Don't you realise that they have to sell papers, and to do that, they print whatever rubbish their readers want to read?
Jeez, I swear...some people. Stop listening to your village idiot family and use your brain, eh?
I also hear an awful lot of voices on the streets here and in the USA from people who are fed up of PO and want them out. Not to mention voices from people in Poland.
Perhaps you should pay attention to the opinion polls rather than what people are moaning about on the street. Still - let's agree that the election is in a month, and we'll soon find out what the people really want. By the way - as it stands - the PO/PSL coalition stands to be re-elected with ease. And we love it.
(as for the USA? They haven't got a clue - they think Busia is a Polish word, the morons)
