Real Estate / Residential real estate values go down in Poland [455]

I disagree. By the time we go to see the place, the location, size and price is usually a match, so what we want to see is what's wrong with the place. Attempts to cover stuff up is an annoyance.

This whole 'staging' a home is an art of deceiving and covering up the shortcomings of the property.. I hope it doesn't work in Poland. It's for cheats and idiots.

I think he was speaking for 3 generations living in 50m2 flat.

History / What proportion of the Polish population collaborated with the Nazis? [125]

Many people, especially on internet and in the movies, get very different ideas as to what resistance and conversely, collaboration, are all about.
For some, nothing short of falling on a sword will do.
For others, staying alive through years of occupation is highly suspect.
What is more heroic: a suicide mission or surviving the concentration camp?

I've also noticed that the most desirable are modern apartments within the walking distance to stores, nightlife and public transportation. If you got one of those, you can just pick your number.

that was just one example. You missed the point.

I'm beginning to change my mind about prices in Poland being too expensive. I've been watching House Hunters International, and it seem to me that their prices, especially in the cities have nothing to do with the average salaries of the natives. If renting an apartment in a city in Tanzania costs $5500/mo, paid cash for a year in advance, then there's more at play here than an average citizen being able to afford one. If the prices are staying so high, then that's what the market can bear.

You can put get that boat in and out of the water yourself. It's not that hard, and you'll feel great once you do, trust me.

and once the guys see a good looking woman alone on a boat, you'll be beating them off with a stick.

Off-Topic / Ukrainian language [50]

When switching languages, going with the language that is more widely used makes better sense. Again, the ultimate goal is for all of us to speak the same language.

exactly. All in the name of patriotism.

Off-Topic / Ukrainian language [50]

I think there is some kind of push-back, especially among younger people, who might be tired of governments telling them what language they'll have to speak. Regardless of history, it's aggrevating to have to learn a new language, even as easy as ukrainian is if you know russian, without moving your foot out of town. For at least two generations, everybody in cities spoke russian. Most still do. I hear that the majority of ukrainian websites are in russian as well. If it wasn't for politics or linguists, they'd blend the two together.

government as the middleman begging not to get cut out. ;)
By the same logic, you should buy the most expensive car and go out to restaurants instead of cooking at home. If you don't, you're depriving someone of their job. Horsesht.

History / The Bar Mleczny / Milk Bar (memories) [15]

There was a Bar Mleczny in Warsaw, na Marszałkowskiej, that I didn't think much of at the time, but now remember fondly... home-cooked meal, cheap prices, no pretensions.

Re:"inner beauty"
That's not the beauty they're talking about. ;)

delph, seriously, do you have a beef with that person, or this is just the way you engage in conversations? You make a lot of good points, but your style sucks.

I think the fresh, body temperature milk straight from the cow is truly gross. And I should know - until I was 6, my grandma would wake me up at dawn every day and would not let me go back to sleep until I drank a full glass of that warm, gnój smelling body fluid.
