That is your thing. Trying to either ridicule or discredit uncle Ironside. Yet you have miserably failed to actually debunk his arguments or better still to point out which of his points if any is not factual in your opinion.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

Statistics show that around 90 percent of Poland's top military brass have either been replaced or left of their own ...

That is actually a very good decision if that is a conscious decision to clean out the officer crops from the soviet layabouts and surplus generals taking money for being useless pen pushers. Good job Macierewicz.

"There are concerns among allies"
Those unspecified concerns are just news pulled out from someone a...! I don't believe for a moment that any serious official in those NATO countries that count, had any thing to say on the issue either off the record or officially.

Read your link. As I have thought, an article written by Poles ( biased) all those experts are either Poles connected to the previous political party or one Jan Techau a German experts on the European Union integration and foreign policy, transatlantic affairs, and German foreign and security policy.

Connected to The American Academy in Berlin which is in fact founded by grand from Germany and American Germans is a lobbing stratagem of the German state. Kind of a window into USA.

The fact that some German experts in the accord with some German lackeys in Poland are firmly anti-PiS is nothing new. That is a propaganda war at it finest.

If you want to know what's what - ask uncle Ironside.

Travel / Flying from USA to Poland in June - Will Visa now be required??? [38]

was just pointing out that the present Polish government might,

Nah. If it comes to the present Polish government they're strongly into pro-Amie policies. Your commie indoctrination clouds your outlook on things.

But it won't achieve anything

That is not the point. Relation between nations are govern by the certain principles and customs. Meaning that if USA demands visa from Poles, Poland should demand visa from Americans.

The thing is the EU obligations render is practically impossible. That never bothered the EU brass. I wonder if the closer ties between Poland and USA developed recently are so inconvenient for Germany that they are using their influence in the EU to stir the pot to sour those relations somewhat and hence that issue has been brought up to the fore.

The other culprit could be Russian numerous stooges and moles within EU bureaucracy.

Requiring a visa for Americans that are willing to drop $3-5k to see the Salt Mines & the Death Camp is nuts.

From the business point of view. Its all depends how many Americans are actually willing to go to Poland and what percentage of those would be deterred from going by a slight inconvenience. I think not very many.

will pay this astronomical fee for a visa.

Start saving your foot stamps.

Exactly what PiS is doing

Actually, if they do it, they're doing it on considerable lesser scale and what more corruption is not their unofficial standard policy like it was in the case of PO.

"unqualified dolts"
All governments for the last 30 years in Poland put those unqualified dolts in the position of power. That is weaved into the fabric of the political system and still there due to a social-economical dynamic reality in Poland. Al those factors do not change with the change of a government.

"Good change?!?"
Change takes time. Its too early to say with any dose of certainty if is it a good change or not.

Not sure why you call them "centrist"

He calls them centrist because even leftie progressives split into fractions. That is until they reach they ultimate goal - a totalitarian regime in power.

Oh what a joy, some or other polls that you like. who cares about that? Polls stopped to be reliable in the last 20 years and in Poland never were even close to reliable. Unless 20% or 25% error margin you call acceptable.

What you call lib democracy in fact is a kleptocracy i.e. a bunch of useless post-commie morons who are worse than useless and who are not even attempt to do their job - like solving problems in the interests of Poland.

Love / What do Polish girls think about dating Asian guys? [134]

I have just lost in the ether a lengthy response to your post Paulina. I'm not going to do it again. Shame it was quite a detailed answer.

@Paulina "So already as a kid you thought of Polish women as objects for sale?"
I was a kid and I wanted to impress girls in the class. It was funny. You have no sense of humor - boomer!

By the way you're wrong. I don't care whom girls I have never seen are dating. I doubt that either Wulkan or Begainski care. My detailed post that got lost explained to you that you got it wrong.

I don't read posts in this tread. Topic is so dumb that it beggar belief that mods and admin left it as it is. I posted here because I'm reading Bieganiski's posts - his English is original and good, on this forum only Des surpassed him.

By the way could you post some topless pictures of women. Equality and all. I don't need all those guys pictures - yuck! Women all the way.

I can't blame him for thinking

I can. Either he is not thinking at all or he is a teen as I said. One way or the other his premised are false. Bieganski jumped on him because our 'supposed to be South Korean' complain about some 'racists' Poles whereas in SK and generally in the Asian countries being racists in western original meaning of the world is pretty much established as a norm in a society.

For example a back man wouldn't have much of a chance to pick up an Asian women as a girlfriend or even wife. Kids of mixed patronage - say European and Asian have a tough live in Asian countries. And so on...

Bieganski ire came from a premise that all those dudes came to Europe or USA and expect a total acceptance from all the people whereas their own respective countries and cultures don't pass a scrutiny when it comes to the acceptance of the foreign people or foreign cultures.

Not unlike some Arab countries who are the first to lambast Europeans about their racist and imperialistic history whereas they themselves as we speak turn black illegal immigrants into slaves.

don't think he's a troll

I think he is an American Asian or even an impostor with a mission. I estimate - Genuine versus troll 50/50.

I don't even know what sunwooz looks like but I'd rather date him rather than any of you already.

So, Paulina still no man in your life.
You missed the point here. Wulkan responded to someone who sounded pathetically out of line and stared to be abusive and presumptuous.
Non of that has anything to do with women, Polish women or dating. I suggested even as a kid that due to the surplus of women in Poland there could be exchange for the surplus of oil from the Middle Eastern countries.

Like you, Iron? :)

oh ha ha ha I actually hate this façade of the Polish culture. Do you want to talk about me? Are you really interested? Pm me!

He is not only paranoid he is dumb as well. He is a one of these clever dumb people who are worse that those than know nothing because he think he knows it all. Those progressives leftie Jews in American don't even realise that Jews in Europe had been screwed by the two leftie ideologies and that each screwed them in a different way. By Bolsheviks who killed spiritual life of Jews and turned many into accomplices in crime of the genocidal commie regime. On the other side by the Nazis whose racist twist on the Marxism lead to mass killings.

Nah they are so brainwashed that they blame all on some conservatives, RCC and whatnot. In their mind all that makes a prefect sense. The only problem with this views is that nothing could be further from the truth.

News / Poles call for EU reforms. [67]

@cms
A correlation between two variables doesn't mean that one variable causes the other. As I said, you would have to present more data and some solid research supporting your claims for me to take it all on its face value.

If there is plenty of research on the subject - links please. I ask for a real McCoy if you feed me some second rate HS I'll get annoyed and never again I'll take you seriously.

That could be caused by few different factors. In ascending markets the wage growth is not necessarily an indication of the general improvement of the economy.

The same goes for deflation.
Minimum wage growth doesn't tell me much without correlating data about the cost of living - ratio thereof.

Exports to EU. What about VAT returns and a massive fraud? That issue has been on the news in Poland lately. Wouldn't that fact alter those figures at last to some degree? Also as far as I understand it, a part of the EU export from Poland involve internal operations of some German factories - between their German and Polish branch. I'm sure they are not doing that to benefit Poland.

If you take into consideration those factors a real figure for Polish exports to EU could be something else, much lower.

Those are not weak points. That is a genuine concern. I asked about all those information because an answer to those question would have given me a more reliable info as to the health of the Polish economy. I'm thinking long term here.

Those numbers you operate with with are only a general indication of a very general trends - sound more like a propaganda than a hard data. This is growing that is growing - as if you would have diagnosed a health of a human organism by the length of its hairs. I'm sure you can, bit tricky but you can do it. You can even get right now and then.

What you present as a direct result of EU accession could be as well unrelated. You would have to back it up with it with a solid research data.

Some of those points you listed are of a dubious worth even at the first glace.
Even if wages doubled isn't that truth that prices has risen accordingly? Are you talking about wages that has doubled across the social strata or you're talking about median income?

Funny that you're talking about export to EU. You would have to produce data or clarify what export you have in mind. If you're talking about overall exchange with EU countries - golden star not for you.

'discretionary income' Really? What are you basing this on? What this even mean tripled? That is some kind of manipulation or just right away HS. Are you telling me that an average person has three times that much of an income that can be spend or invested in comparison to the same person in 2004? No credits, no deals? Do you even understand what you're saying? That is plainly not true.

Saving tripled? ahem.. clarify.

' unemployment halved' Indeed but is that really an achievement to have like three to four million people emigrate or migrate to foreign countries? Short term solution. Who is gonna pay on peoples retirement fund, health services and all that? Ukrainians?

What I mean as achievements are those:
How many cutting edge technological research centres are in Poland?
How many modern manufacturing facilities producing complex high tech goods?
What percentage of private companies are in Polish hands?
What percentage of small, middle companies in Poland are competitive on the world market in terms of product, income and potential? What percentage of their profits stay in Poland?

What percentage of big companies profits stays in Poland?
What percentage of Poles can afford holiday on foreign shores at least once a year?
What prectegane of Poles own their own household?
what percentage of Poles own a brand new car?
What percentage of Poles have saving that would allowed them not to work for at lest two years?

Then Poland has to join the Euro.

Sure Poland either need to join the Euro and abide by their rules that have been set up by others for their benefit or can opt out from the EU allthoghter.

So either Poland will walk the line as a second tier vassal or will take her chances outside EU.

There is another option - all EU countries could renegotiate all agreements to form a new 'better' EU - less centralized. Knowing German mind-set there is a slim change for that happening.

For Poland there two options:
a, Polexit
b, Poland become vassal of Germans for the foreseeable future.

That's a pretty worthless statement, because that also includes people

That could have been said about 99% of all kind of polls. Yet for some reasons you seem to be taking them on their face value when and if you find them agreeable. In this case you don't like those polls because they don't suit you, so you try to undermine them. Sad.

However about 54% of Poles are against a two-speed Europe.

You need your head testing. For you Poland's membership in the EU is a dogma. That is not an opinion but belief akin to those of a fanatic. I not against EU, I'm for Poland and for Polish national interest. Sadly EU in the present form is not good for Poland - simple.

Why you worry about some small fry just because they are in PiS. PO has been created by big time operatives and there are lots of SB snitches on top appointments left, right and centre, in the pats and at the present.

Never heard you uttering a word about those facts.
How about German gov. founding PO - that is an interning issue in progress. Also nothing from you.
in conclusion it is clear that you don't care if someone has been SB snitch, Hitler or Pol-Pot himself as long as such a person support PO or generality speaking commies, progressives. Why don't you jump off that high horse of moral indignation. You're faking it!

What is that deeper integration? So far those are just empty slogans to let German dictate the terms to rest of EU.
