Life / Poland: worst teeth in the world? [98]

Dentist in Poland are hit or miss. Generally they are not that expensive.

I took all the above into consideration:). Still not a rocket science, especially for a fairly educated Native Speaker with people skills and Certificates. It is much more difficult to manage a bank:)

Law / Weapons laws in Poland. Carrying a concealed handgun? [918]

it's about empowering the lowest elements of society.

that could be true for the US, but it would be a disaster in Poland - trust me. Besides, I can think of other ways of empowering the lowest elements of society:).

I'm centre-left politically, yet I'm totally against transferring money to lazy, unmotivated people who want to be paid to do nothing.

this is not who I was talking about.

I managed to start from nothing and now earn a pretty decent salary every month - why can't others?

you are an English teacher, so it is NOT that difficult, actually it is easy to make decent money in Poland. I do the same, so I know. It is not a rocket science, especially when one is a half decent worker lol

So get off your high horse, will yah........I am just trying to put things into perspective for you:)

So how long have you been in Poland? Still haven't answered my question.

Law / Weapons laws in Poland. Carrying a concealed handgun? [918]

I really wanted to hear arguments why you guys insist in strict gun laws in Poland

because it is not part of the Polish culture - simple. Polish people don't need guns to solve problems and as Antek said, it would be dangerous since they might act irresponsibly.

Besides, Poland is much safer then the USA.

That's the perception, but wages are increasing all the time - minimum wage is about to go up to 1500zl, and you just need to look at the cars in the cities (even compared to 5 years ago) to see that the country is getting richer.

got any links?

As for cars - yes, many business owner lease them, so they can write them off, other people took credit most likely. Another group bought inexpensive refurbished cars from the West - what else is new.

I've never seen any hard data on it, but I'd be surprised if Poles were earning less in real terms.

Neither have I. It would be interesting to take a look at the data.

The wages have risen dramatically - so you really have to look not only what one zloty buys, but also how much wages have risen in the same time.

looking at how much zloty can buy me is the REAL indication of the progress. From my observation it can buy less and the quality of some products and services have a lot to desire, so in my opinion Poles are overpaying.

People in this country like yourself, pawian and delph, are just self centered egoists, who look only at their own circumstances and not of anything else around them. You indeed are the slave-drivers of Poland. Shame on you all.

you are a little harsh HITMAN. I think that some people are only able to look from the point of view. It is unfortunate, but many new successful Poles (whatever that means) are like that.

How do you expect the working class families to survive ? Eat grass ?
These are the people that make the country tick, not wallies like you sat behind some desk playing the big I am. Bet you, you couldn,t even nail two bits of wood together.

working class families have a hard time for sure, so do retired and lonely people. It is a shame really.

I see. The fact my opinion is different from yours (and I do not need to struggle for life because I've been working hard for it the whole life instead of whining) makes me a non-Pole.

Good for you, but we are NOT talking about YOU, are we?

I just want to clarify that the people I am talking about are not whining. I just have not seen their life improve over the period of 8 years in any significant way, which I guess it good, considering the crisis.

Who are the "Poles"?

obviously not you, but I have many friends and family members who pay their bills, run their businesses and they are struggling in Szczecin.

BTW, I cannot see where the topic limits participation in this thread.

I cannot see where it states that opinions/observations are not allowed on discussion forums.

Your comment is interpretation and putting your own sentiment into it.

no, it isn't and even if it was, you would not know about it. So stop behaving like a smart ass and start talking, not just for the sake of filling the space.

Have you heard the term "world economic crisis"?

please don't patronize me.

Poland has been left almost untouched with it.

are you sure? Most wages has been frozen in Poland, including private companies, who are not spending in case "crisis will reach Poland". It may reach it later then other countries.

Have you compared Poland against other countries?

I am discussing how Poles feel about the present government, not about how Poland compares to other countries, which btw is useless sine there will always be better then and worse then. So what.

I am looking at the quality of life the PLN can buy now and it could buy 8 yeas ago, when I left- that is a real indication for me, not some comparison to other countries;). In general the quality of life has gotten worse if we take into consideration how much I have to pay for it.

You are slightly off topic;D

especially after the laughing stock that was the PiS, SLD and AWS governments.

I don't recall AWS and SLD being a laughing stock. I actually lived in Poland during those times. Perhaps from the outside perspective they did?

On the other hand I can understand why people are fed up with the present government since the cost of living is going up and the services are still the same, or worse.

Frankly Polish people can buy less with their cash.

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

many if not most women in post-communist countries are brought up as individuals, not "females"

why do you think that is. Good observation BTW.

In my opinion, it has to do with sharing/ competing for the job market. Anywhere where women are not happy with what they earn - the feminism is much stronger. Or, considering the roots of feminism (anglo- saxon/protestant) perhaps there is something in the culture, which requires women to contribute to society equally by working.

Work for pay is a measure of human value for both sexes in the Western societies in general, not the number of children the family can rise.

Anyways, I have not made myself clear and I am jumping all over the place, but I have to go now:)

Life / Poles and their listening skills [22]

another issue I have with some Poles, not all, is the fact that often they don't listen actively.Often times I have to repeat what I said, because some of them are too busy thinking about what they want to say in reply. I have never hear from a Pole: I will think about it lol

It really hinders the communication.

PS. waiting for the Polish brigade to shoot me down. Fire away:)

Now we know your button.

not my button, sorry to disappoint you:). Please stop associating nationality with sexual preferences- you are so wrong. I read a lot and I have some friends who used Extasy and other enhancing drugs, but I mainly get my knowledge from available literature.It is not a rocket science to find out how chemical substances enhance sexual sensation;)

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

Perhaps your method of communications needs some work?

not really, both sexes have different styles of communication and both sides need to learn to see those differences and appreciate them. You cannot change something which has been part of the evolution process - that includes that style of communication.
