Law / USD shooting up so high for PLN [76]

And what does that have to do with this thread ?
To get back on thread here.................
quote by Pigsy:


The U.S. dollar is now at a nine year high.
Demand for the dollar goes beyond just the weakness of the euro, the softness of the Chinese economy, the weakness of oil prices and their impact on a many currencies, the emerging market funds, all add up to a stronger dollar.

The euro dollar could still continue the downslide especially if the ESB goes ahead with quantative easing. (QE)
This will not only be limited to the euro but also the Zloty.
quote by CMS:


I would have to agree with you that the zloty will be very close to that in January if not more.
The global economy is on a very thin string right now.

No you look into it and then tell me what the national debt was before Obama came into office.


China has no problem doing it.


Eh when one (the U.S) has to spend billions to have proper pollution control and the other guy (China) spend zero
and pollutes the enviroment to the point 80% of their water is unfit for animals.


I will let you goggle it yourself to so to not redden your face.


If that is true then the U.K.'s must REALLY BE FUKCED !

Law / USD shooting up so high for PLN [76]


Thank our Community Disorganizer for that. I don't think that has much to do with the value of the U.S.D. however.
I think the strangle hold that OPEC had has finally been broken.
I would have to say that the E.U. will not feel any relief with the U.S.D. exchange rate in the first quarter at all.

China's steel production has slowed way down because they have polluted the enviroment with deadly toxins.
This will help level the playing field with all the enviromental laws that America's are required to follow that
China has ignored. In doing so it made it tuff to compete.
Now that China is moving their steel production to South Africa so they can clean up the disaster they caused
in their country the U.S.D. will become even stronger.


I disagree strongly with that statement.
Our economy is finally starting to show solid growth where the E.U. is not.
In such case the exchange rate of the U.S.D. will only widen the gap.
Can you imagine what would happen if/when the petro dollar collapses !

Law / USD shooting up so high for PLN [76]


I totally disagree with your rational here Wroclaw Boy.
Oil's crash is being misinterpreted by many investors such as yourself.
Let me para phrase and condense an article that explains it best.
The MAIN STORY is the $9 TRILLION US Dollar carry trade.
Drilling for Oil, producing Oil, transporting Oil are extremely expensive processes.
This means unless you have hundreds of billions of Dollars in cash lying around you're going to have to borrow money.
Borrowing US Dollars is the equivalent of shorting the US DOLLAR.
If the US Dollar rallies, then your debt becomes more and more expensive to finance on a relative basis.
In this scheme, a US Dollar rally is Oil negative.
Oil's collapse is predicated by one major event: the explosion of the US Dollar carry trade.
Worldwide, there is over $9 TRILLION in borrowed US Dollars that has been ploughed into risk assets.
Economies that are closely aligned with commodities (all of which are priced in US Dollars) are getting demolished too.
Just about everything will be hit as well.


What is "very long" ? I can see things getting a lot worse for the E.U. as the U.S.D. continues to strengthen.

Most of the "recovery" of the last five years has been fueled by cheap borrowed Dollars.
Now that the US Dollar has broken out of a multi-year range, you're going to see more and more "risk assets" blow up.

Oil is just the beginning, not a standalone story.
If things really pick up steam, there's over $9 TRILLION worth of potential explosions waiting in the wings.
Imagine if the entire economies of both Germany and Japan exploded and you've got a decent idea of the size of the potential impact on the financial system.

Life / Cannabis / Weed in Poland... How much does marijuana cost per gram and how easy is to get it? [355]

Do I promote weed ? No
However it seems if Poland would legalize it that it would bring billions of $$$$$ to the economy.
The stoners are going to smoke this crap regardless so why not tax it and build schools and colleges
with the tax money.
WoW, the only country in europe that it is legal would draw tourists up the the yang yang to get a puff
to get stupid.
Look at what it has done for Colorado in the U.S.A.
Like they say in Jamaica, "the government can take away everything from us except our weed and our music."
ie: in Jamica you can possess 2 ounces on person and smoke on all private property.
Ganja cost about $20 an ounce there for the high grade.
" A proclamation was issued today, up to 99 years in jail for illegal possession and sale,
how can they think they are right when they are wrong, I guess they have never been stoned.
Breath deeply.............it's so nice to be stoned............".
Come on Poland wake up and cash in.............

Law / USD shooting up so high for PLN [76]

I would hate to give you wrong advise.
China is showing a very weak performance right now however.
I know what I am going to be investing in though.
The global economy is very fradgile right now.


With a genius statement like that you should ask W.B. what he thinks it will do.
He will give you all kinds of free advise.
I wouldn't bet all your fish hooks on it however.

Law / USD shooting up so high for PLN [76]



That's hard to answer in a few words, but it's basically because gold and oil are always quoted in dollar prices.
Even if the price doesn't change in dollar terms, it will have become more expensive in euros or pesos,
if the dollar has been strengthening in relation to those other currencies.
So with much of the rest of the world seeing more expensive gold, especially India and Asia, demand falls off and the price goes down in all currencies.

If my investment charts hold true I should do very very well in the first quarter.

Law / USD shooting up so high for PLN [76]


The stronger the $ the lower gold goes and weakens other currancy around the world.
and if you think $1 to 3.49 is bad try Jamaica where it is $1 to 120.
I blame it on global warming as the world doesn't need so much heating oil anymore so
the price of oil is dropping. Supply and demmand theory.

Life / Gas / Benzyna prices in Poland [29]


OPEC is taking a much harder hit as the U.S. dollar is stronger than ever.
The U.S. is producing an all time high production of oil.
Soon OPEC will be a "has been" to America.
The airlines are recovering some of the losses that they incurred over the last few years.
Americans are paying around $2.65 per gallon for gas right now which is boosting the economy.
Can't wait to connect with the Keystone pipeline out of Canada which will make gas even cheaper.
It will be America's turn to sell fresh water to OPEC for a $100 a barrel. Hide and watch.

News / Food producers from Poland should stop suffering from obliged sanctions against Russia [75]


Hell most Americans don't like NATO. (One World Order)
Every paycheck the American workers get have big taxes taken out of it to support NATO, to pay for weapons to
protect countries like Poland, to pay for AMERICAN soldiers to be in Poland to protect it, to pay to operate the
military bases in Poland and lastly have OUR young boys blood ready to spill on Polands ground
(like it has in the past) to protect Poland.
Now I would have to say that ALL America is suffering from the sanctions just like everyone else is if not more.
It comes right out of ALL working Americans back pocket to protect Poland.
So please quit whinning about the freedoms America has given (paid for) to Poland.
Can you tell me the cost of all the tanks America just sent to Poland's front ?
Who the F**** paid for those ? America did, that's WHO !
Maybe you would rather go back to living in fear when walking down your streets.
A cup of coffee and a thank you is what is in order for the American people from Poland.
You kids just don't get it because you have never lived it nor paid for any of it. (Coming soon though)

USA, Canada / 15 hr. motion on a minimum wage. (USA) [24]


Absolutely !
Long haul truck drivers, for example, can easily make $2000 USD per week here in the U.S.A.
Problem is companies can not find dependable people that speak and read English to do the job and they other half can't pass the drug testing.

Up in the booming Dakota's they can't find workers period because it is "to cold" of a climate even though they pay twice minimum wage for unskilled labor.

And that is the problem, Americans have never felt the pain of war, have never gone without, have never suffred to appreciate what they have. They are SPOILED.

Poeple in Poland know what war is all about, going to the store and not having a choice of what brand to choose from, what

suffering is, what authority is, what going without is.
These people that are demanding $15 an hour do not have the skills or capabilities to put $15 an hours worth of work out.
Cut the damn welfare programs out for ALL capable workers and they would be happy for "those $8-$10 per hour jobs" that Americans won't do.

Promlem is welfare pays $20 plus an hour to watch t.v. all day, get stoned and play video games - so there is the problem.

Only in America could the rich people who pay 85% of all income tax be accused of "not paying their fare share" by people who don't pay any income tax at all.

Starting to see the big picture here ?

USA, Canada / 15 hr. motion on a minimum wage. (USA) [24]

Hell no !
When welfare pays more then most jobs that these dead beats are capable of doing what do you expect.
Poverty pays good these days.
Our boys in the military putting their lives on the line don't make $15 an hour nor get foodstamps to buy lobster and top shelf steaks so why should some stoner that can't skip and chew gum at the same time get paid that.

Flipping burgers is a kids job to put gas in their car and buy a bag of weed not support a family with.
So when you sit home on your dead ass sucking off welfare and demand to have high speed internet ($3 a day)
cable t.v. ($3 a day) have a smart phone ($3 a day) smoke a pack and a half of cigarettes a day ($10 a day) drink a six pack of beer ($5 a day) and buy an eighth of weed ($25 a day) what the hey. Living large.

If you do the math that all adds up to over $1400 a month on sh*t that you need none of to survive.
That's $17000 plus a year for luxuries. Pleanty to pay the NECESSITY bills.
When your maximum capabilities are $7.50 an hour to flip burgers or mow lawns then I can understand why you think
you need twice that much to support your bad habits and certainly to be able to start popping out kids.
So the system offers you $15 an hour welfare plus free medical to be able to afford your life style what you gonna do ?
Sit home on your dead ass the rest of your life and let your working neighbor support you or go get an education and
make an effort to quit those bad habits and get a $15 an hour job that you actually put out $15 an hour worth of work.
You could pay $25 an hour for those kid jobs and people would still want more even though they only put out $7.50 worth of work.
Wake up Smuck, you ain't worth it.
No, give the military personel who risk their lives a huge raise way before of thinking of giving some high school kid job one.
They sacrifice their families, their lives, are away from home all while putting their future on hold.
We all can't be doctors and should get paid according to our capabilities and if that is $7.50 an hour and it isn't enough to

pay the bills get a second job so you can. Those are the work ethics that built this great nation.

Life / When will SMOKING BE BANNED? (from public areas in Poland) [44]

Just look around you and OBSERVE for yourself those who are still smoking in 2014.
Most of the educated successful people seem to have made the good choice and quit smoking.
Most of the uneducated unsuccessful people who can least afford to smoke still do.
"Good choices good things happen, Bad choices bad things happen."

Life / When will SMOKING BE BANNED? (from public areas in Poland) [44]

Smoking is already banned in Public places in Jamaica and most of the U.S.A.
The big arguement was that it would cut down on revenue from the Pub's.
Just the opposite happened. Once the ban went into effect patronage INCREASED because people that didn't smoke
no longer had to be FORCED to breath second hand smoke which is just as deadly.
We can now dress to impress when we go out for a drink without having filthy residue ruining our good cloths. It stinks !
I told the smokers who argued with me about this that I have a bad habit of drinking beer that causes a filthy residue called pee.

Let me INSIST to pee all over your hair and cloths and see how you like it.
It is even against the law to smoke in a private car that is occupied by children in the U.S.
My guess is that the Polish Government will ban it soon and start collecting hefty fines for those who refuse to abide.
I wish you the best in your very constructive crusade Maluch.

Food / Where can I find good coffee and Cuban cigars in Stalowa Wola area? [10]

I may have to concede on this one. I honestly can't remember. You got me.
After giving this some serious thought I have narrowed it down to more like 30 years ago this happened.
Man it sure seems they did put the fine on my credit card though.
I am willing to stand corrected however.
I don't carry my checkbook with me when I travel though.
Hell I can't remember but it seems it cost me $500, they kept the cigars and I missed my connecting flight.
My point was, no way did they let me slide when I tried it years ago.
You must have short hair and wear a tie to get away with it.
Thanks for pointing out such a detail however Justin. ;-)
How do you like the new retina scans they do now.
You just look up at their camera, click and walla, your picture pops up on their screen with all your personal information.

Food / Where can I find good coffee and Cuban cigars in Stalowa Wola area? [10]


That doesn't surprise me as the U.S. has become very lacks on even travel to Cuba by Americans today.


Well I put it on my credit card back then. Just to update you.


What does a smuggler look like ?
I now just take the bands off them and replace them with Jamaican cigar bands.
They know but how was I to know when I bought them and have a reciept for 'Jamaican" cigars.
I have always lived on the edge. :-))))

Food / Where can I find good coffee and Cuban cigars in Stalowa Wola area? [10]



From first hand experience as I have a home in Jamaica as well as in the U.S.
In Jamaica I can buy the best fresh Cuban cigars legally. $8 for a Coheba that lasts a half a day.
As 'Dont gag me yo' posted in another thread that U.S. Customs were nice and let his Cuban cigars slide.
They were nice to me once too for bringing in five Cuban Cohevas. (15 years ago)
They let me put the $500 USD fine on my credit card. First offense.
Second offense is being banned from travel to Jamaica for life.
So I think 'Dont gag me' is full of little green apples.
As for Jamaicans Blue Mountain coffee you can buy fresh beans off the farms for about $40 per kilo and
allowed to bring $600 worth back duty free legally. Most likely the same from Poland.
It sells for $80 per kilo in the U.S.
I have met some really cool Polish people in Jamaica.
They shocked me as they spoke perfect English.

Love / Polish women care about traditional values [40]


BALONY !
You must have never been commited to any othe those "menial" jobs.
I worked 60 hours plus a week at one of those "high earning" jobs for years.
When my wife was hospitalized for two months and I had to stay home to care for the little ones, cook, clean, grocery shop, balance the checkbook, pay the bills, drop the younguns off at school, pick them up from school, pack their lunches, change poopie diapers, wash the cloths, clean up urp after sick kids.......you know, all those "menial" jobs,

I was more then ready to get back to my 'high earning' job before I had a nervous break down.
Much less physical work, much less stress, ADULT CONVERSATION, much more free time, punch the clock at 6p.m. and my day ended. Come home, crack a cold one and mow the lawn.

My wife's job was 24/7 never knowing what the next challenge would be.
Oh you are SOoooo wrong to judge those "menial" jobs that you obviously know nothing about.
I didn't either until they were dumped in my lap one day and reality set in REAL quick.
I ask you, how much do you think a fare wage would be for say, Being up all night with a three year old with the flu (crying, urping, temperature, and the hearshy squirts all at one time) after you have worked all day doing those "menial" jobs for the rest of your family ?

Please tell us.


I beg to differ.


That falls under the little head controlling the big head (choice) but I don't think we are talking about the money grubbers here.
We are talking about "traditional values" of Polish women, not the new age church of 'Meism'.

That is not only a Polish woman's tradition but a world wide tradition.
Do tell us what a Brit Bird would do in that situation.
Anything different ?

Love / Polish women care about traditional values [40]

I wouldn't blame her.
A stay home Mom is much more work (24/7) then punching a clock eight hours a day.
If SHE is the bread winner of the relationship and supporting HIM while he is playing househusband and she took the money away that would hold true too.

Both mates have to be "nice".

I did that for 'effect' to get "man" in there. :-)
I knew you would take the bait.

If Poland is a traditional society and the majority of the population are of traditionally Catholic back ground, wouldn't such a femanist statement be in direct opposition to what the Catholic church teaches ?

Does new age femanism now trump Catholic church doctrine ?

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [335]

I think it was the beginning of the first world war when people were getting their kids the hell out of Europe and sending them to America

so they didn't get killed.
Over 7 million civilians died in that war.
You have to imagine for yourself these children from Poland (and other countries) coming to America frightened out of their heads,
not knowing how to speak the language. They were exploited for meaningless jobs, didn't know who to trust, where to go,
and didn't have any money.
It would be like me coming to Poland at ten years old, no family there, not speaking the Polish language with no money.
I would do what I had to to survive in a new culture and country.
I would fall under the term, dumb American by the insulting Poles.
One would think that is where the term dumb Polock came from.
From dumb insulting Americans.

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [335]


Not anymore in America either jon.
Realize that was two generations ago.
That is the way it was back in the first half of the 1900's.
If someone called a Polish person a dumb Polock today that person would be used for a mop to mop up the street.
That term went out when white socks did.
It just doesn't happen anymore.

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]


You mean like who is the oldest ? :-)

How is a teacher to feel respected when the student is more mature then the teachers ?

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [335]


As did I.
I was young and it made me feel very inferior not knowing any better.
Then one evening as my father sat sipping his peeva he told be a true story about a local "dumb Polack".
The dumb Polock owned a little bar in town that catered to all the local alcoholics.
He and his wife worked their tails off and about lived every awakening hour there serving food and beer. (Very hard workers)
The patrons called the owners of this bar dumb Polocks to their faces only to get a small smile in return.
The dumb Polock let his patrons run a weekly tab. (how dumb)
He also encouraged them to bring in their wild caught fish, venison, mushrooms, ect. to his bar to cook for everyone, free of charge.
Made the patrons feel like big shots showing off their prize catches and sharing.
The bar owners wife cooked it all with lots of salt making the patrons thirsty for more beer.
She became all of their wives as she cooked, cleaned up their messes, listened to their filthy jokes and depressing self pity stories.
His patrons didn't even have to go home after work to their wives for dinner as the salty snacks and food was provided free.

They sat there drinking, eating, and running up their tabs until late in the evening.
Come friday the patrons all brought their paychecks into the bar to have them cashed to pay off their tabs and start over.
The dumb Polock quietly laughed all the way to the bank. (the dumbest fox in the forest)
That dumb Polock as he was called, is now a multi millionaire and owns the largest piece of property in my town.
He has set up all four of his children in businesses in town where many of the patrons children now work for.
Who was the dumb one ?

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]


Oh Really ? ........my humor fails me sometimes.


Very good point however I would say that goes for not just teachers but everyone in any country, not just Poland.


Because they haven't learned to comprehend that you can't boast, insult, pretend, or demand respect....... you have to "earn it".
All of the above only show a major inferiority complex.
To get respect you have to give respect while rudeness only breeds rudeness.
And Szalawa you hit the nail on the head, neither paper certificate, age, earnings, qualifications determine a good teacher or person.
I am older then any teacher posting on here and my monthly income most likely is twice plus, what all of their incomes are added together.

That does not make me superior nor do I pretend to be. Just making my point. As in Everybody is somebody.
The key words here (and you hit it) is "Earned Respect".
