News / Predictions about Poland for 2013 [85]

If I contact Agnieszka Jarosz, of Zetha Ltd and ask her to give her qualified opinion about the number of Polish passport holders living in the UK at the time of print. of the article, based on the research of “Poles in the UK 2012” survey. Jon 357 will you accept this?

What that survey would add to more thoughtful census.

Question of interest:
Do worshipers of the legendary two millions have something to prove their beliefs other than gut feeling?

Life / Poland's concord of cultures [86]

i'm not upset by what you have written but by the fact that in many threads on different subjects you are posting one lines - who build it, it was Germans who did it and so on and on!

It can be interpreted as trolling or as an mental disorder. You have obsession bordering on an unhealthy obsession. You should sort out yourself first.

Who built most of those canals in Poland?

Who built? #Why you are so obsessed with that who? Who destroyed or stolen this or that shoudl be an appropriate retort for you mania! Who destroyed Warsaw, who stolen Gdansk? from whom taxes were extorted for most of those projects.

And about 40% of canals in Poland has been build either by Poles( autonomous Polish Kingdom 1815-1831) or the Polish state. Also many canals build by Polish government are in today Belarus and Ukraine.

Just take a chill pill.

Telling apart different Northern Europeans is pretty near impossible if you base it on physical appearance alone.

I have been mistaken for a German, French, Dutch, and English.by the different people and in the different circumference of course.
Saying that I believe that locals can spot foreigners with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

Be quiet ironside or think about what youre saying a bit more.

I think you should make yourself more clear.
Either:
- You can spot Poles
-You can spot Eastern Europeans.
You cannot say that you are able to spot Poles because of

an exclusive Eastern European thing.

So how come they were to
Ironside:
appease one of the many cliques which support them
when what they did was only "changing group" not producing more children?

Is it me? I try again.
We are talking about schools not about toddler minding - lets focus!
In schools due to general decrease of the number of children there are shortages of pupils.
As you well know the government of Poland is not going to support classes with five or eight children. Schools will be closed and integrated. Yet you need only certain number of teachers.

It stands to logic if you make from two schools - one!
The rest of the teachers are redundant.
If you make six years attend the school you increase number of children and thus prolong employment for some teachers and most importantly for the head master.

Are you stupid, wikipedia is one of the least reliable sources! Oo You bloody troll!!!

It is census 2011 not wiki

Eastern European or Polish? It is not an interchangeable word as you lot seems to think.
Anyway it would render your observation invalid as you have specifically claimed to be able to spot Poles not Eastern Europeans.

Oh Lord.... PIS followers are frustrated indeed! :-)

Oh did you visit toiled today if not I think it is a high time!

Those PO worshipers, they lost ability to debate, they just spawn rubbish and spread it thick.....!

You know that in kindergardens you also have teachers

So? There is more children than kindergartens. Toddler minding will always be in high demand.

Also that some of them are in ZNP?

So?

Your knowledge about the subject is alarmingly low. Stop talking about things you have no idea of.

Oh shut up! The only reason you are supporting that reform is because it was made by the PO!
The only reason they did it was to appease one of the many cliques which support them - teachers from ZNP! There is not enough children to keep those old geezers employed. So that make six years old go to school to improve teachers income.

There is nothing that indicated it has been done to ensure development of the children. In fact schools aren't ready for six years old and after all this talk about special preparation and treatment they will be just herded along as any seven years old.

You are that kind of person peewee, you are just ready to say any BS or lie just to protect your ass. Miserable Soviets, thanks to people like you Poland is going to the dogs.

Even tons of books written by Soviets and their spawn cannot change the fact that most of their so called wisdom is just BS!

that's what your British countrymen say. try to convince them, I can't do that (obviously because I'm a defensive Pole)

Obviously people can recognize foreigners by certain characteristics they cannot quite put their finger on it. You are making a big deal out of it.

Questions about typical Polish look are being asked mostly by Pol-Am for the obvious reason.
Others are just adding their observations or thoughts on the subject. After all it is the Internet.:)
It doesn't need to be consistent or well thought thru.
No big deal!
I don't understand what you are expecting form such threads?

You see, we're not living in 19th century anymore, documents can be accessed electronically, staff and advisors can be called.

That is all true. However that doesn't change the fact that give and that PM are just locust. They couldn't do more harm to Poland.

Law / Poland economy is slowing down - how does it affect you? [117]

Am afraid pawian is right

Well do you have any prove? In form of throughout research?If not you are not in positions to claim anything.
As for your examples - I'm not saying that everything was top world class but neither everything was a worthless junk.

Even the shipyards were not that efficient

Actually they were efficient enough.

she couldn't under the commies make any decent products to compete against the West.

actually she could - like optical fiber, and some high tech items and

That is only few but I haven't even researched it properly. However if somebody wants to claim that 90% of Poland's industry was a worthless junk he better provide some prove.

You gotta understand that the market forces are very brutal, just look at Yorkshire, which used to be a mighty mfg place, but now it's a pretty much rundown city.

Wasn't gov done all the dirty job for so called the market forces?Fat cats and some behind the scene manipulation ain't appeal to me as something inevitable and good.

You are wasting your, my and all members` time with such silly answers/posts.

Silly? No!
Do you have any back up to your feeling that Poland's factories, manufactures and industrial capacity was a junk in 90% as you say. Do you have some work at your disposal based on numbers, data and facts not propaganda, wishful thinking and lies?

If you don't then your claims based on personal experiences are worthless - do you understand that? Poland's customer services, entertainment industry, distribution and food marked could be inefficient and in disarray. However those are not all what constitute economical strength of a country.

Can you estimate without such data a potential ability of Poland's economy to adjust and change without destroying, demolishing and selling its industrial base out. As it was a rhetorical qestion - of course not!

so you silly claims to have all the answers because you have some recollections of 1989 events are hilarious.

I see what you mean, you have been sold a lie and you don't even realize it. No wonder that after 20 years you stick to your imprinted propaganda's "truth", it wouldn't do good to your self esteem to admit that you have been blindfolded and fooled for so many years.

This is discussion forum his gut feeling do not count! Are you twelfth Zibi? So far you have avoided my qestion/.

As for economy - implying that all what was build during communism times in Poland by the magic of 1989 become overnight worthless junk that Poles shoudl be grateful if somebody agreed to dispose off is a biggest lie and propaganda there was and you all 12 years old have just bought that lie and you are stuck with it for better and worse.

Unfortunately your mental or intellectual problem in overcoming such imprinted lie is not my concern. So in the future try ti be more specific and argumentative without resorting to so called common knowledge.

but I knorow that Polish economy was totally devastated by the dying communism of 1980s

How do you know it?

Everything what Solidarity experts, economists and politicians tried to do after 1989 can be called one giant improvisation.

I would call it demolition or/and sell out!

Mistakes were unavoidable

Really? Like let all those commies to take advantage of their position or letting selected people make money on the state property - officially sanctioned theft.

than Ukraine

Ukraine was part of the soviet Union an organic part. Poland was separated soviet country like Czech or Hungary but with any privet sectors and farmers. You comparison has no merit here.
