Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]
Germany had more or less won by the 14th September - while the Polish plan to retreat and fight on is well documented, it would seem unlikely that an army trained for conventional warfare would manage to win against the occupier - who by that point would have been well entrenched.
As for the "5 weeks" - Poland was finished on the 22nd September after Lwów fell.
Dream on. It was started because it was true - the amount of stupid Poles who emigrated to America (because there was nothing for them in independent Poland where brains ruled all) is rather large.
It took Nazi Germany AND Soviet Russia 5 weeks to fully take over Poland. Although German forces were in Warsaw in several weeks, the rest of Poland was still fighting BOTH the Germans AND Russians for 5 weeks.

As for the stereotype that Polish people have subhuman intelligence, it was started by the Nazis and then Hollywood and the Leftist TV networks ironically introduced it into America in the 60's and 70's in an attempt to condition the public to have the same anti-Polish prejudice that they have.

Law / Buying a USED CAR in Poland, my personal experiences and TRAPS to avoid !! [133]
Pretty much the same system here, although if the car is insured, you can use the old insurance (as the car is registered, not the person) for..I think 30 days?
There's a document that should be filled in by the buyer - I don't recall the name, but it should contain all the details of the buyer and seller. You also want to make sure that you check their ID before handing over the cash.
In other words, in the USA when one buys a used car, one gets a title of ownership (title for short) with the vehicle from the state it was registered in.

Language / Is Polish amongst the best-sounding languages in the world? [123]
Again, proof that you don't speak Polish at all. It's even proof that you haven't spent any time around the Polish language - otherwise - you'd be able to hear that it was Czech straight away. It's quite an easy accent to follow if you know Polish (not as easy as Ukrainian or Slovak, but much easier than Russian or Serbian) - but you wouldn't know that, would you?
It doesn't sound "silly and amusing" at all.
Typical racist stereotype propogated by backwater peasants.
I notice when I hear Czech It doesn't sound as Slavic. I actually have trouble telling a Czech person is Slavic sometimes when I first hear them speak.

You don't speak Polish, so what would you know about the writing script? Go on, tell us - why should Latin be used instead of Cyrillic? What justification do you have?
There are quite a few people online who have tried to create a Cyrillic script for Polish - like Croatian, it's actually easier to use, but isn't used. If you want to find out why, perhaps look at the writing systems used in the countries which are Catholic vs Orthodox.
But anyway, have a look here -

Among people who are actually language enthusiasts, who like this sort of thing (and who study it in far more detail than you ever will) - there's a common view that Cyrillic actually looks far neater and nicer than Latin when it comes to Polish. Of course, it will never change - Cyrillic was always seen as "Eastern" and "orthodox" by Catholic Poland - which is exactly your reason why it doesn't use Cyrillic today. Likewise with Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin - even though it works equally well in Cyrillic.
Now - get lost, troll.

Truth be it, it's written in the wrong script. It's too long and tedious to explain, but the 'ugly' nature of Polish comes from the clumsy way that the Latin alphabet has been used for Polish.

History / So called "inconvenient parts" of Polish history - what do you think? [157]
Yep, there's been a clear rejection throughout the years. In fact, almost every party in power has had roots in socialism - as far as I can tell, the religious vote is only around 10% in Poland. Far more significant is the "moustache" faction - with - surprise - roots in socialism.
Never understood why so many people in Poland deny that the country is fundamentally socialist. Even the current government contains quite a few socialists who would never join the SLD for ideological reasons.
That part is certainly true, and election results show that the Polish electorate do not want the religious right-wing to be in power.

Life / Exam for Drivers License in Poland; English? [99]
Yep. 30 hours must be completed, although if it's in English, many driving schools are willing to do it intensively for more money in less time. For instance, 6 hours is about the "norm" for 1-1 classes in Poznan.
Depends on the city. Most major cities and towns have it in English and German - however, sitting the theory test in a foreign language automatically requires you to have a sworn translator for both parts - to translate the instructions in the theory part, and to assist during the practical.
You'll also require a first aid course and a medical check in order to sit the theory test.
Oh, and you're also required to have had at least 185 days of legal residency in Poland before the test - counted from the start date of your residence permit. The rule may be interpreted differently in different offices - but this is how the law reads. You're also required to have a PESEL.

He certainly tried his best, by introducing all sorts of social payments to everyone irrespective of need.
But as I'm sick to the face of saying - get rid of Kaczynski, get rid of his goons and create a genuine Catholic-Socialist party. It'll win every election in sight by a mile.
On a personal level, I hope for Poland to become one of the big boys in the EU. In terms of population and regional influence, there's absolutely no reason why Poland can't be such a thing. This kind of move really helps - people will trust Poland to be stable and grown up.
its just that Tusk failed so unbelievably that even incompetents like Kaczyński are better, of course he'll **** off Germans and Russians but at least he wont nuke our domestic economy.

I think it's not such a bad idea - it allows Poland to retain expertise in this area, and I've always thought Poland could do well in niche areas. It would be pointless for Poland to take part in the Eurofighter programme, but it's not such a bad deal to build smaller things that can be churned out in decent quantities.
For instance, look at Finland - Lapua ammunition is world class.
Why inventing so much time, money and effort to build something similiar of what already exist and you could buy easily????

You'd be better to say "Heinz products are made in Poland for the Polish market" to avoid confusion.
But yes, you're right - in English, just because it's made in Poland, doesn't make it Polish. For instance, VW cars are most definitely German - Polish-built, but the products themselves are German.
In Polish, we use the adjective "polski" for anything that is made in Poland, too, despite of the origin of the idea of the product.
