Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [382]

What did LOT do to cause you (looks like everyone else made it just fine) to be late for your flight.

see about two post above

Sounds like you should have made an effort to get out of bed earlier that day.

yeah typical polish attitude blame a service user, you didn't make it ? you are sucker ? A very business like attitude eh?they should accommodate me if possible and it would have been possible in my case.

LOT failed to deliver services I paid for because of their poorly organized services at the airport; clear now? and let it sink in!

I just love when people are late and then they complain on forums that they were mistreated.

no fault of mine, waiting in one queue to check in and then security check without fast track and then they say hey airport have nothing to do with us ?WTF? Cannot they communicate it is in their mutual interest - LOT Polish airline and Polish Airport - hence my question - who is running that firm ?an incompetent moron ?

ell as you know ironside, many of the areobridges are unused

I have seen my plane at the end of a jet-lay.

What specific problems do you have with LOT?

Their organization at the airport sucks ! I checked in and I was late about two minutes for my plane, puff I had to buy ticked for another plane.

My being late was entirely fault of LOT's lousy organization.
There was an American dude, giving off as well. Voicing undue generalisations not only about airline but about the country as well, I didn't kick his hole because he was in his late sixties -rude fukker.

bloody trolls - mods do I have to report each post of that idiot ?
just suspend him/her

Merged: LOT - who is running that firm?

Must be some thieving or incompetent of the PO-kind! Political-nominee! Doing nothing to improve service and organization of LOT!
Never again I will use that company - being ripped off and all.
Really sad that those jackasses are running to the ground another firm build on public monies!

Nope. Just like westerners, for sure.

Ah , but I have never said that have I?
All I'm saying fuzz that so called communism wasn't a single issue which molded Polish mentality (or shaped) into something different from those of western Europe.

I know that you don't like me and vice-versa but for once pay attention.

Secondary points, you can skip them:

waiting on line for food every day

Actually it was only truth for the last 9 years or so.......it wasn't constant you know,line for food you can find after 1945 in Britain, Italy; as a matter of fact occupation oppression and all that you can find in Germany after war as well.

In all it is not an unique experience for Europe!

no right to vote

You have to vote !Only choices were narrowed ...

filtered TV and all other media for that matter

As if media were telling the truth now eh? enjoy your reality !

but this sentence only proves Teffle and I's point.

No it doesn't fuzz!
Because you said that experience of communism make Poles mentality different from western mentality (whatever that means). Well no it doesn't !
And fuzz, empty shelves, queues are not that important!

OK Ironside,

OK Teffle yes. communism had impact on Poles, however not to such degree as you and fuzz posts seems to imply. I would say that WWII was a biggest single experience for Poles, one which shaped Poles in a way that western nations cannot comprehend.

However, in the context of :western - eastern mentality; such simple observation made by fuzz has no use.

Guys, Teffle and fuzz, both of you belief in reason. I thought that there is more to that than simple atheism. I though that you are used to use your reason for everyday issues. Yet, there you are making such simple observation that any Johnny and Harry, rednecks full of Bible's nonsense could have made.

What use is your reason for ?

That's a question for Adnar, who made the claim and Fuzzy who disagreed with it.

No, that is a question for both of them.

Personally I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that there may be a quite different national psyche between those who have lived mostly under communism (like the 44+ mentioned) and those who have never known it.

You can suggest whatever you like but your suggestion is on a very high level of generalization - be specific, be learned. Do you believe in the age of reason?

Where is your reasoning then?
You make observation which seems to be explaining something but it doesn't; your observation doesn't even scratch surface of the problem.
I can do the same: horse - what horse is like everybody can see!

By the way define - national psyche and while you are on it pry tell in what way the national psyche of Poles changed under communism (or not).

Someone said that Polish mentality is more Western than Eastern,

Define western or easter mentality or both and then we can talk.

Ironside overreacted again by saying:

Fuzz is pretending to be such a knowledgeable dude, almost a guru.
Somebody used generalization,he answered with generalization of his own, one which doesn't explain anything.

How can you compare people in Poland with people in France for example ? - with know how!
If you don't know how then do not state your feelings or personal opinion as an objective truth.

uhmmm.....I.......well......cough........I think I like......said exactly what I wanted to say in the sentence before that. did you just not read that part? i think the example i listed is a pretty valid point..........eerrrr...........am I typing?

You think ? Don't make me laugh, your problem fuzz is that you don't think.

the majority of Poland's population right now grew up during communist times

gee ....really ...eh ....don't say ....my goodness how we could have overlooked ....err .....no......

and everyone over the age of about 44 has spent more years in communism than in a democratic society

I'm impressed you know your numbers fuzz....Sunday school was good for you......
Statements like that are there to impress, simple, elegant and yet cutting edge is there, that fuzz is somebody eh..
You forget to say whatever it was a quality time for them.

how can you compare a country full of people like that to people in western europe?

Again bulls eye, how can you compare a country to people eh?
Surely you cannot....you are so brilliant fuzz ...thank you .... one question though, do you have same issues with Europe ?

said exactly what I wanted to say in the sentence before that

So what exactly did you say fuzz ?

News / Should Poland leave the EU institution? [147]

Currently the EU is divided into three blocks.

Currently the EU have only one bloc - Germany and France, the rest is working on the fringes of EU. They are not organized at all.

Former Warsaw Pact countries are playing a role of neocolonies.

News / Should Poland leave the EU institution? [147]

Present EU is based on agreement between France and Germany with few perks for international businesses and maybe few more for governments to brag about.

It cannot survive in the present form. The EU should be rethought, reshaped and renegotiated. It cannot continue on neocolonialism formula for long.

OK! Because non of you ignoramuspopulous mentioned an old system of Europe's divide onto Eastern and Western parts - I will do it.

Religion! Each country with prevalent Orthodoxes belongs to Eastern Europe, Catholicism and Protestantism are telling us that you are in Western European country.
Poland belongs to Western Europe according to that old formula.

But Poland ain't part of Russia or is Russia's vassal state nor does Poland object Western political alliances such as EU or NATO. It's in it. Time to refresh your mind Ironside :=)

Doesn't matter! EE is a description of political reality now. Regardless of Poland being in EU or NATO, she is still between west and east because of the past but mostly because of her position as a cordon country, between EU and Russia.

Time to go out into the real world Grünewald.

I also wonder how on EARTH can it be politically eastern?!

In politics and in perception, also Russia has its tentacles here as well.
For all practical issues Poland is politically Eastern Europe, if Beloruss or Ukraine become a border country/cordon between west and Russia then Poland cease to be EE.(or if Poland become regional power )
