History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

for food and language, Eastern Europe

There is no Eastern European language either.
As for food, there are no eastern European food, the only reason that cuisine in few countries in this part of Europe is somewhat similar is because of the Polish Commonwealth heritage.

for religion and alphabet, Western Europe

There is no western European religion as there is no western European alphabet.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

except for urban well off and educated classes is culturally (including food, but not only) closer to Eastern Europe

Poland is not France that is not a brainier Capitan Obvious, I would take any day dumplings over fried snails or frogs, that disgusting food, why don't you put in flies for a good measure.

Most Poles also physically look more Eastern Europeans

Sunshine, there is no eastern European look like there is no western European look, you according to your own snobbish western progressiveness standards are being racist. I don't care about that but I'm always ready to point out an obvious hypocrisy and double standers deployed by our holier than thou PF snobs.

I think that an average Pole and an Albanian differ in many things including "looks."

what about all the old women outside main cities wearing colorful headscarves?

Again, so what? Look at your own movie stars from the 60' silly goose. There are not uniformity - that is a good thing, don't you think?

Why Poles don't like to be put into Eastern European shoes?
It is quite simple really:
1, because graphically Poland doesn't belong to eastern Europe,
2, because culturally Poland doesn't belong to eastern Europe,
3, Poland culture is basically western.
Poland stopped to be under the soviet boot 25 years ago, evidently it is not enough time for westerners to get used to the new reality, they rather remain stuck in their own rectum claiming that their own farts are smelling sweet, much sweeter than fresh air.

So be it.
Live and let live. :)

You don`t

You said that you are contend to be a slave, after that declaration your opinion doesn't count, simple. Go back where a good slave belong and don't disrupt your betters with your chattering.

Daily life here was extremely hard before the building of modern infrastructure.

Sure dough, there were no roads, no trains and buses and no cars in Poland before 2004, people were ridding donkeys to get from point A to B. You are getting increasingly ludicrous.

I prefer being slave to EU than Russia

As a slave by choice and conviction you should simply shut up, slaves do not vote.

Not saying Russia was wanting to attack - but they couldn't anyway. So your argument doesn't hold.

Hold what? Water?
Your head doesn't hold water either so what?
What forces the EU have to came to the aid of a member in case of armed aggression? eh?

History / Time for Slavic Commonwealth around Poland as center [223]

Lithuania doesn't have to be part of it, cannot really until would grand an autonomy to Poles in Wilenszczyzna.
Czech doesn't have to participate in it either, but I think they will.
Russian is not a part of that project. Serbia as Crow says is all for it.
Bulgarians is a possibility not must either and they are not too distant. Slovenia are a big qestion mark but they are not nescesse4rily needed.

The problem is that all these countries are guided mainly if not exclusively by their own national self-interest

That the idea, that project is based on national self-inters of particular countries, the best platform for them to realize it would be in the framework of intermarum.

Work / English teachers in Poland - why are they so unhappy? [89]

I don't want UK-levels of paranoia here, but it would be nice if a criminal check was required for every job that involves contact with kids alone.

It should be obvious to anyone but then school are looking for cheaper rather than checked.

History / Time for Slavic Commonwealth around Poland as center [223]

and what about Miedzymorze as parliamentary monarchy?

Don't think so, it would be rather like confederacy of states, some like EU, some like NATO, some like consensus what would be the best and what is needed.

Vatican don`t recognize separation of Kosovo from Serbia.

Definitely without common currency.
That would have to be solved before by Serbia, miedzymorze will not be a platform for Serbia to take back their stolen province, no.

Not factual info roz, beer has been around for a very long time from the down of civilization.

Unfortunately, the profession does draw more than its fair share of alcoholics, from all countries

Money. Why would an English teacher transferring to Poland as in his own country he/she can make much more and have a career. Whereas in Poland he would be stuck.

UK, Ireland / My bad experiences with Polish neighbours in UK (not meant to offend) [173]

Do you think its acceptable that someone wakes an entire building up around 5am every morning? And yes this dog barks very loudly that when I have been out of the home about 2 minutes walk away I have heard it, I have had guests visit that get woken up and say its loud its only worse because he does not stay in the building

No, I don't, nor do I think it is a good thing to live next to such a neighbor, report him if you see something illegal being done but my advice is still the same - move out!

UK, Ireland / My bad experiences with Polish neighbours in UK (not meant to offend) [173]

I am autistic, but as I am poor

Another update, noise is still only a few times a day

If you are autistic and are living in a bad neighborhood, I'm not surprised that you have anger issues, nor I'm surprised that you have problem with your neighbors, you are not getting on, whatever or not he is doing something out of badness or out of spite for you reporting him numerous times I cannot know, that possible, but it is also possible that you are very sensitive as a person somewhat autistic to all even small things and transgressions done by other people, meaning you don't know how to let it go,on the whole I think it has less to do with your neighbor origins than with your oversensitiveness and the fact that in some crappy places there are some inconsiderate ruffians leaving next to oversensitive characters or control freaks and once feud starts it all can end up baldly.

My advice - move out!

I don't understand. You don't live in the Amazone forest so there are authorities to turn to where you are. If as you said, these people are also doing illegal things, trust me, authorities shall react...

He suspect them of doing illegal things because their are getting on his nerves, evidently those thing that are getting under his skin are not considered illegal.

Stand to reason than anyone involved in illegal activity at their own place wouldn't do anything to attract undue attention.

It mean that retainment age has risen in Poland allegedly because there is no money and then government will take handed over by Germany 20 000 young men illegal immigrants, most likely selected from the bottom of the barrel.

Roger and inPolaka those economic benefits you talk about i.e. founds are not really beneficial as you seems to think.
There are economic benefits like open borders some export, but then it is being paid for by open unprotected polish market and that fact creates adverse circumstances for development of Polish enterprises.

Last but not least some political movements are being founded by foreign sources and as you can guess not for free.

If enough Poles start to see EU membership as having what should be domestic policy decisions (like border controls) made in Germany by irrational leaders then the economic benefits might not be enough.

They will and for that I think we should be kinda thankful to Merkel. After all thanks to spineless peasants in PO government Polish women in their 60' will break their back in some dead and jobs to provide enough money for 10 000 or 20 000 men in in their 20'!

If that will not change mind of Poles about the EU, nothing will.

It all goes to create infrastructure and less effort-demanding ways to keep exploiting our country. In the long run Poland will lose more than what was pumped in. Time to wake up.

Amen to that!

The risks far outweigh the benefits.

I'm sure there are people for whom Poland plus EU money are advantageous and they make a killing. I'm talking about Poland society and economy as whole.

There's no use saying puppet

Sure, Do you know how Austria deals with illegal immigrants.

Polish PM joins Merkel in welcoming migrants"

Has somebody expected anything else? After all Tusk wants to stay for another 2,5 years as a doorman of Europe.

All Europe can meet Donald Tusk, he is always a father of success but it is us who has to pay aliments, and now it is all Europe will have to pay.

Did you notice that that irresponsible loon Merkel is in hiding since she issued an invitations to the Islamists!

Rational observers know that the only protection Poland has is from the EU, even if it's not perfect.

What protection? Few screaming old men in suits? Putin would kill them with his laughter.

The biggest threat to Poland is the Polish people.
