and all the other countries are behind and Poland very far behind and shall always be).

In no more than 30 years your people will work on our fields. Why ? We're simply better as a society, better educated, more intelligent, more hard working and so on. You are "richer" due to historical reasons but times are changing, now faster than ever before.

France is also a key to international politics

No it isn't... to put it very mildly :)))

PS. Grześ, sorry, I can`t read your last post because I decided to put you on ignore. Talking to you is senseless - a complete waste of time. You are like your boss - an economic conman and pretender. Bye, bye. :):):):):)

LOL ! Dude, you've proved to be a total economic ignorant, who doesn't understand the very basic economic terms. The funniest thing is that you still think the main difference in labor productivity between nations is because in one people are more hard working than in other. Typical wykształciuch :))

BTW you can stick your pathetic private messages into... your red one :):):):):)

Hmm now I'm afraid it's not only a matter of ignorance... but I will try to help you anyway... go and check labor productivity in China... are they "losing too much time at work" too in your opinion ?

Now it is cristal clear that you are a total ignorant. Go read a definition of labor productivity and stop make an idiot out of yourself.

Do I really need to explain such things? It is explained in the article. 67% compared to 178%.

Yes... and in your opinion that's due to a fact that Polish employees "lose too much time at work", are lazy etc. Right ?

No, darling, I can easily prove that YOU are ignorant about Polish matters.

OK, "darling", go for it !

The efficiency in Poland, lower than in well-developed countries, has been a problem for many years, despite it constant rise since 1989.

Yes, that's obvious.

Because the efficiency of Polish workers is still lower than in Western Europe. We lose too much time at work.

Now please kindly explain that part about "us" losing too much time at work. I hope to hear from you soon !

News / Polish Silesian Autonomy movement [67]

You don't know what those results will be.

I also don't know what the results will be If you open the window and jump out but I can predict that with high probability.

And that's how it works in Poland, a lot of public money is spend locally. So exactly what do you propose ? Which areas the central government is now responsible for should be delegated to the regions ?

Keep the majority of the money where it's generated and spread the remainder around

The problem in Poland are not really the interregional transfers but rather transfers for priviledged occupational and social groups. For example early retirement for miners... I have to pay for it too despite a fact that there are hardly any of them in my region... Do you know where majority of them live ? I guess you do. Anyway, it is not aid for that region but for the particular occupational group. There is also subsidised retirement system for farmers, some priviledged for railway workers, transfers for "poor" and so on.

The problem is that government is taking too much money away from people, not the geographic distribution of the spendings. Would you feel so much better If money taken away from you were given to some guy living 70 km away, instead of another who is living 700 km away ? I wouldn't.

Then leave it up to the people in a region to fix their problems instead of relying on distant politicians making promises from afar. The system being proposed encourages people to be more involved with politics and that is a very good thing.

It's not some ancient Greek democracy. Silesian voivodship have millions of people living there. Average Joe would have as "much" control over the money distributed regionally as it has now.

As I already stated, government in a region can have Autonomy over certain aspects of governance. This shouldn not only about money but also be about people deciding what they think works best for them.

So basically you are proposing 16 ministries of education, 16 ministries of health care, 16 different health insurence schemas, 16 different kinds of matura exam and so on.

Do you see the difference? This shows you haven't really been thinking about a thing I've written but just gone into an automated response mode.

It was my own proposal, not the interpretation of yours...

If Silesia gets autonomy, Polish politicians will be there - mismanaging and wasting a great deal of tax revenues.

Please enlight me why Polish politicians are supposed to stop mismanaging and wasting a great deal of tax revenues once they start running Silesian autonomous region instead of running Silesian voivodship.

Corruption is the greatest threat to any system. If people do become involved at a more local level, it limits that threat.

Now please google up statistics regarding the number of Polish local politicians/administration employees arrested for corruption :)))

News / Polish Silesian Autonomy movement [67]

we could ask the same about Warszawa and get the same answer,

Yes... So why create additional institutions If result is the same ?

The taxes generated by those in Silesia should go to Silesians, what's so hard to get about this concept?

LOL ! There's the army, police, courts, embassies and many other national institutions to finance. If the taxes generated in Silesia, go to Silesians, then more taxes outside of Silesia need to be generated to pay for these institutions.

Please explain why other people in other regions should be so privileged as to have Silesian tax revenue pay for the projects in their region?

Because this is largely what a country is about ? So you now... people from Białystock pay for the highway in Silesia and so on...

If you were to pay more after Silesian tax revenue stayed in Silesia then wouldn't that be an indication you've been enjoying more than you've been paying for?

Of course not. If 10 people living in one building pay electricity bill for the street lamp in front of their building and then 1 of them stops doing it, then others have to cover his share -> so basically they are paying more, no matter if his share was 5%, 10%, 15% or 1%.

Each voivod population should have more autonomy, not only Silesia.

You clearly have no clue what autonomy is about. It is not about more money staying in the region, in Poland each voivodship/gmina etc. gets x % of taxes generated on its teritory, that x could be increased significally without any "autonomy" (or descreased with "autonomy").

"Autonomy" for one region means that we would see for example "Silesian Ministry of Education" with the one in Warsaw still being in place... "Autonomy" for all regions would mean... 16 ministries of education... one in each region...

The less centralized government, the better.

The less government, the better. I don't think 2 (or 16) ministries of education are better than one. The best would be no ministry at all, reduce it to some department with 20-30 employees in total and that's it.

As it is now, Polish politicians have mismanaged and wasted a great deal of tax revenue and they've been able to do that under the current system.

Yes, Polish politicians have mismanaged and wasted a great deal of tax revenue, they've been doind that on central, regional and local levels, also in Silesia and If Silesia gets autonomy, Polish politicians will be there - mismanaging and wasting a great deal of tax revenues. The main difference will be that they will have more jobs (with regional "government" being created) to distribute to their buddies, more public orders to steal from etc.

A less centralized system should get people more involved at the local level. Surely you have to recognize this.

Sounds good but:
1. Poland has been decentralized for +20 years, the effects are mixed... some are good, some not so much... the whole idea with people "being more involved" is not very visible...

2. Any kind of "autonomy" is not needed to get the country less centralized.

News / Polish Silesian Autonomy movement [67]

I'm hoping the plan would be to divert money away from Warsaw and to the region of said taxpayers.

Does the regional/local administration in Silesia have so good record on spending public money ? I don't think so. Or you mean more public money in general should be spend in Silesia ? Then please explain why people from one region should be privileged over people from other regions?

I will ask you this though, why shouldn't people try to modify the existing system if it is not running smoothly?

They can modify whatever they want unless I have to pay for it one way or another.

Seriously, why do you think that is the only way for this to develop?

How else should that develop ? There are plenty of members of Sejm elected in Silesia and they are no better than average, there is democratically elected regional and local administration and in Silesia it's no better than elsewhere in Poland, so why on Earth the same losers would somehow form a professional administration once the new institutions were to be created ?

If it meant an increase in taxes then I can't see anyone supporting this but if taxes don't increase then what's the problem?

How can you form additional administration without rising the taxes ?

It's a great idea. Smaller government means people's votes and opinions matter more.

LOL ! Central government would stay as it is and there would be additional regional government -> simply more politicians living on public money and they would care what people think about as "much" as now.

As for Jaro, I wish he'd been on that shaggin flight too.

I wish Bro, Doniu and many other feckin trashes were there too ! Ayee !

I don't see any reason why some Polish citizens should have different rights/obligations than others. It's simple really, they should vote If they want to become independent or not. The rest of Poland will never accept any autonomy (which in practice would be "we pay less into the common budget but get the same out of it" solution) If they really want to have different rights, please create your own country.

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

The local police officer said that he had never heard of this scam and that there's nothing we could do. When we left the police office the officers we spoke to were actually laughing at us.

I found a post that said that Hard Candy was a front for Russian Mafia and that the local police were paid off.

LOL ! More likely a "ah jeez another sucker bites the dust ha ha ha" kind of stuff.

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

Do you agre ?

Either dude has some serious mental issues or more probably it is yet another example of pathetic trolling. "Polish anti-semitism" is favorite subject of many, some Jews of course as it makes them look even more "victimized", many Gerries as it make them look "less bad" and so on. Now we will probably see 500 post long discussion with people claiming that Poles are anti-semitic and others saying it isn't so... Do we really have to do it again and again ? Let's say Poles are anti-semitic... And ? If we would list countries by their "anti-semitism", which rank would Poland get ? What about Ukrainian anti-semitism ? Do you think it's stronger than Polish, the same, or smaller ? Please comment.

Life / 200zl mandat and 3 points for not wearing seatbelts? [75]

But seatbelt, it is just my own life. If I am wiling to risk it, so what. My life, my decission.

That's logical but on the other hand when you get seriously injured in a not that terribly looking road accident because you were not wearing seatbelts, NFZ will have to spend a lot of money to put you in one pieace again and that is not your money, that is our money. This example perfectly shows that once we go into collectivism, It's often impossible to use common sense solutions anymore.

I used to have a lot of respect for Polish policemen and their apparent common sense (at least compared to their UK comrades).

Individually they are not that bad but the system is far from perfect. Quality of work of Police stations/departments/units here is being evaluated mostly based on statistics... So from time to time some commanding officer, once realize that his unit is far behind average in the number of tickets issued, tell his people: get out on the streets and don't you dare to come back without at least 10 tickets issued each of you. In result people are getting silly fines.

News / Does Poland support the idea of Slavic unity? [142]

Poland will have Great influence in the world only when it begin think and do in it's own way, without western or eastern influence in minding. When it shows it's own will and desire to leave in peace and harmony.

True.

There will never be Slavic unity when Russia is so much bigger than any other Slavic country... It would lead to Russian domination even If that wasn't intention of Russians themsleves... religion, culture etc. play a role but in my opnion the most important is this issue.

News / Communist era 'newspeak' appeals the most to Poland PiS supporters (what a surprise) [89]

Basically, PiS are hard left economically - they are very much socialists.

I guess that's way they lowered the taxes and kept the budget deficit low at the same time, while "pro-business" PO is increasing taxes again and again and doubled the debt over a few years...

PO being "pro-business" is what only real imbeciles still believe in.
