A return to the USSR... That was as close as you'll ever get to a Slavic Union. Those interested in such regression, either have problems with their sexual identity or had no relationship with their absent father. Or they didn't win any meddles in the three legged race.

When you cut away the surplus babble, I think the West is just a Smurf word for modernity. Maybe when a Pole gets rid of his tractor and ploughs his field with a horse, he is looking eastward.

Starting to base that on 2 wage earners is suicidal as the chance of both being stable over the period of a 20 year loan are very low.

Average wage is 3000, multiply by 12 and it's 36k. Use an earnings multiple of 3x and it is 108 k. Add a 20 percent deposit and you get to about 130 k.

Reminds me of this book
wesjones.com/ehrenreich.htm
she speaks about how middle class America was simply guilty of playing by the rules of modern day capitalism.
People worked longer hours,extra hard, took bigger and bigger mortgages for escalating house prices, sent their children to extra classes, etc etc and then bang. The manipulators behind the scenes were pulling the strings all along. Reminds me of Bertrand Russell and his views on the protestant work ethic. He believed the preachers of it(PW-ethic) were actually members of the idle rich.

So have they kids?? young couples tend to reproduce? How many sleep in the sitting-room??
so how many time her salary did she or your 'friends' pay for (their)her apartment?? how many hours over 39 does she work? 11k into the hand?? Is 27 suppose to be very young or something- I know people who had several houses by that age.
pathetic statement.
Spoke like a true blue blooded Tory.
So you're comparing a country which went through two vicious wars on her territory, went through several regime changes and was bankrupt in the late 80's to a country which by the time you had moved there - was a superpower and incredibly wealthy. It's really not a fair comparison, is it?

I can verify that this is the situation for many people today. Two and sometime even three generations living in the one tiny apartment. I always knew, that due to the economically disastrous situation, that, many home had three generation but I didn't believe that it was the case with even apartments,until I saw it several times with my own eyes.

I reckon the percentage of couples sleeping in their sitting-rooms due to children occupying the one bedroom, is astonishingly high. Must be a horrible situation for these poor people.

But giving up your car would entail new costs - for instance access to the cheapest food is in hypers, access to the cheapest furtniture requires visiting out of town places. Add in an extra bus cost (because you would still need that within the town) and is it worth it ?

As an Atheist, I'm a little freaked out here sometimes, at how dependent the Polish people are on Christianity.In fairness, I do like reading about myths and legend as it is a spiritually rewarding exercise; even for a non believer. However, this country in my view, is just the lingering homeland of the old European right wing...., back to basics,Tea party,DUP type of thing. Saying that, PO,The modern Right(f0ck who you want but economics stay they same) are in power,so in relation to parliament the norm is king here.
I believe, like in Ireland(another victim of imperialism), Poland simply has a a very strong regressive nature due to its authoritarian past; but many Poles seem nationalistically grounded in Christianity, where as the Irish, they(we) don't have to look back very far in history to see a time when Christianity was just another 'invader'.
Poland need to accelerate asap out of the darkness; people here need to shake of their ultra conservative view(s), and wake up to the 21st century or at least the late 20th century;because if not,and the world economic down-turn continues, countries like this, could end up electing some dangerously reactionary old right wing party, and end up putting a lot of people in danger; Radio Maria viewers,I say no more.
In relation to this women getting a fine etc, I think people need to launch a counter attack,sort of like Father Ted in Ireland. Time to start laughing at the bastards, and hopefully the laughing will become contagious; even, to the extent that the the 'I don't knows' join in.
