an older Polish woman who had been living in California since WW2 (and hadn't been back since) told her daughter (my friend) that she should take oranges and lemons with her when she went to visit her family in Warsaw as there weren't any there... This was in 2005.

Just as we were leaving Germany, queuing at the border, waiting to enter Poland, I pointed down at the vast river we were crossing, that marked the boundary between the two countries.

"What is that?" I asked the driver.
"It's a river." he said.

greenland isn't a country

It's part of Denmark, but strangely, it's not in the EU.

People in Newzealand... Shouldn't they be News-ish?

That is why it should be renamed Kiwiland.

The most stupid questions about Poland I heard was of course from amerycans:)

"Do you have a trees there?'
"How long does it take to get there by car?" etc..

Americans are my favourites as far as thinking is concerned:)

old her daughter (my friend) that she should take oranges and lemons with her when she went to visit her family in Warsaw as there weren't any there...

What is wrong with that? The Poles lack everything. When I was in Gdansk a little while ago, I agreed to go to the butcher shop and buy some meet. They cut me off a little white food ration slip with which I could buy the meet!

Michal's stories never stick, in some posts he went to Poland a while ago, in some he left in the 80's and never set his foot back, he traveled all over the world, and would travel if he had the money..."my family in Poland" phrases..."my wife does not want me to go with me to Poland"... Oh, the inconsistent, made up stories, just to name a few.

They used to be enoying...not anymore, as most people know the post are just lies...just like the meat and oranges story. :)

The Poles have very few oranges and lemons. That's both the north and the south poles. Scientists and explorers might take a few with them.

I've had several oranges in Warsaw and Lomza (where I also had a watermelon - is non-citrus fruit too far from the topic?)

buy some meet

It doesn't cost money to meet people.

A little while ago ?? You mean like half a century ??
Poland is a rich country, not as rich as England, France, Germany who are VERY rich countries, but there are a lot of people in Poland that live quite well ! Don't say stupid things like this ;)

its obviuos he's only trying to agitate, he secretly enjoys trolling. he probably also enjoys smelling bicycle seats, for example, he's a closet seat-sniffer...

Hehe ;) maybe, maybe...do you think he bought his bicycle in Poland ? Oh no, am I stupid, there are no bicycles in Poland !! Just horses, no cars either... ;)

That's hardly a little while ago - they abolished the ration card system in 1989!

With respect, the meat and oranges story was not my story at all but I do remember buying meat in Poland with ration cards, they did indeed exist, I even used one a long time ago in Gdansk around about 1984.

Time goes by so quickly and it is not worth while me visiting all of Poland all of the time to keep up with the latest trends but very little changes quickly in Poland.

Time goes by so quickly and it is not wart

- And now the Orwellian, although non-British, hog pretending to be a patriotic-and-polonophobic-Englishman is playing an expert on the speed of both time and changes in Poland! Harken, harken ye all!

The times they are a-changin', but not the (now aging and fairly sclerotic) oinker's desire to bask in excrement and oink full blast!

What other parallel, vertical, and what not, stories is it going to oink yet?

Poland is a rich country, not as

Oh really, as far as I was aware, Poland is one of the most bancrupt countries in the World. What is the state of Poland's debts today? As far as I was aware, they still owe us billions in unpaid loans.

The US and France have much more debts than Poland, and they're rich !
Poland is not poor, if it's what you try to tell me...

whats "bancrupt'? and who do they owe? All debts are fiction. they really don't exist.

i like to meet the meat in the butcher shop.

Every countries have debts !! There are influx of money everywhere, stop saying that Poland is different !
Michal  - | 1865

verywhere, stop saying that Poland is different !

It is different, Poland is poorer than most countries because the poles do not understand fiscal thinking and do not respect money. They never have and they never will. End of story.

Poland is poorer than most countries

What are you talking about ???! In Europe or in the world ?
If you compare Poland with western super rich countries who benefited of the US money after World War II, don't. England and France for example had a great help from the the US while Poland was in the hands of communism.

Now the country is rebuilding itself, and the economy is growing very fast, investors love Poland, and salaries are rising too. All that takes a long time.

They never have and they never will. End of story

Totally disagree. We'll see within the next 10-15 years ;)

The Poles are not paying back their debts or they would not be able to squander so much money. Obviously, international banks have written off the debts.

Michal finished, and they all lived happily ever after.

But...

I know the basics of economics as we had to study economics at

infants school - remember the Fisher-Price post-office set?

The Poles are not paying back their debts

That reminds me, it's rent money day for my flatmate.

Obviously, international banks have written off the debts

That's your explanation of Poland not even being in the top 49.
edit: oops - it's number 49!
Someone called Bob Geldof and Bono from U2...

What is the stupidest question?
There have been many and there will be many more,

but what is the stupidest answer?

It's not a stupid question....for instance, do they speak brazilian in brazil? no! duh!...

Michal of course you do and you always will....dumbo. Our people should start to respect themselves then others will respect us...
