History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]



Oh, come on you guys. If Pawian is not here, whom will we all hate and disagree with? Sure, there's always Novichok and Strzelec, but the former is boring and repetitive and the latter is too disgusting to interact with. Pawian at least had some intelligence and creativity and, say what you want of him but - in his own twisted and strange way - he loves Poland like we all do.

Come on Pawian, you fatherland-betraying, leftard, feminist monkey - come back! :):):)

Shhh...

Be quiet, Maf. I am trying to provoke Pawian to come back to PF.

@Admin

Now that Pawian is gone from PF, this raging nonsense of a thread can finally be closed and moved to Polanda or some other cemetery of ridiculous threads. Thank you.

Some say that Cardinal Tagle is the favourite, but it was said about him in the previous conclave as well.

Może w końcu Tagle zostanie papieżem. Na pewno kontynuowałby politykę otwartości Franciszka.

Strange fetish.

There is absolutely nothing sexy in a woman with a rifle. It is women's natural role to give and nurture life, not to take it away.

History / How much Poles trust to France? [130]


Well, of course, everyone is Serbian in their meta-ethnicity. ;)

However, it is Poland that embodies the true spirit of Sarmatia the best, and it is Poles who have always considered themselves Sarmatians par excellence.

To put it in simpler terms: only Poles can be 100% Sarmatian. Other nations can strive to achieve 99% and some of them do (e.g. our Serbian brothers); but never 100% - this is reserved for Poland.

Happy Easter, dobri brate. :)

History / How much Poles trust to France? [130]


True. Sarmatia is simply a different name for Poland - a wholly internal Polish heritage.

Well, it wasn't me. :)

And I already explained to you why it happened...


... you're supposed to be an engineer, your reading comprehension should be at a decent level.

So, do you want me to tell you China's secret plan or not?

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


:)

I understand the anger. I really do. You're angry at wrong person though. I didn't move American industry to China, I didn't force your society to be mindlessly overconsumptionistic, and I didn't turn CEOs of your companies into greed-driven crooks.

Also, believe it or not, but it's not me who's constantly exposing your society to pornographic displays of wealth all over your media and entertainment industry, causing mass-scale envy, greed and perpetual discontentment.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


You don't.

You can impose all the tariffs you want and you can sh*t your pants in vain anger and you still don't get that job back.

The $4 guy is more hard-working, thrifty and self-disciplined; he's also usually better educated. If you had wanted to compete against him, you shouldn't have moved most of your industry to his country. Now the dildo of consequences is inevitably arriving--it's huge and it's not lubed.

Of course, Americans can still surprise the world: they can still turn to their old American values of thrift, diligence and self-discipline; they can learn to be content with less, stop raping Planet Earth of her resources at unsustainable pace (e.g. stop buying iPhones 137 because their iPhones 136 are already "outdated", and in general give up their religion of ridiculous overconsumption), and pay off the debt they're in because of decades of living way above their means. They still have enough resources to switch to a more sustainable economy if they are willing to go through drastic austerity measures and complete mentality shift towards common sense.

Yes, Americans can still choose to do that. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Their entire culture seems to admire the rich, the common people are constantly exposed to displays of pornographic wealth in the media (including social media) and in the entertainment industry, so they are driven by envy and greed--a recipe for disaster.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


Unfortunately, there are still too many people who refuse to acknowledge this obvious fact.


Well, it has. The current ridiculous level of consumptionism in America is unsustainable. Today. Right now.
So, you have to introduce drastic austerity measures. Today. Right now.

At the moment people want more stuff - fast, cheap, and convenient. That leads companies to: outsource to low-wage countries, cut costs wherever possible, prioritize quantity over quality. If American consumers were a bit less retarded about fast fashion, next-day shipping, or replacing their phones every 2 years, there wouldn't be such intense pressure to find the cheapest labor available.

It's really not rocket science, and it should be the job of a good president to explain it to people.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


Well, that's the whole point--he can't compete with the Chinese guy. So what you're going to do about it? Impose tariffs? Well, Trump just rolled them back on the most important imports from China.

The only way out of this is to reduce the retarded-level American consumerism and go back to thrift, diligence, self-discipline and contentment with little things. Otherwise prepare for the dildo of consequences (and no, it will not be lubed). :)

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


40 bucks an hour for a factory worker? Now I begin to understand why your economy is unsustainable.

Again: thrift, diligence, self-discipline, huge reduction of consumption and contentment with little things. :) When you live way above your means for decades then you have to face the consequences, and as we all know the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed. :)

History / What made Poland into the country it is today? [62]


Yes, especially you, Alien, by leaving Poland and spending most of your life in Germany.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


That's because the Chinese adopted old American virtues of thrift, diligence and self-discipline that most Americans themselves have forgotten. Go back to your old values and you will be fine.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


That would be true for a self-sufficient economy and American economy is not self-sufficient. You impose tariffs to protect your industry when you make everything yourself and want your people to buy everything at home, kinda like North Korea.

If you move most of your production to China, import tons of stuff from China, and then you impose huge tariffs on China, it will only drive prices up for your citizens.

But hey, there are three kinds of people I guess: those who learn by reading, those who learn by observation and drawing coclusions, and those who have to p*ss on the electric fence themselves to see what happens.

They already have their version. The first chapter says: "In the beginning there was nothing, only God walking through the streets of Belgrade".

History / How much Poles trust to France? [130]


I am shocked at Serbia. Planes from France, tanks from Germany - whatever next? Howitzers from Vatican? :)

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


Yes, quick analogies usually entail a certain measure of oversimplification.

Your analogies are even better to use as arguments against tariffs: if you're Boeing and you impose a tariff on the stubborn Rolls Royce, then whoever does eventually buy the planes from you will have to pay those tariffs (so you will have fewer clients or they will buy fewer planes). In the same way it will be American customers paying for the tariffs imposed on China, when they buy e.g. a new iPhone for $4000, not the Chinese government (as some Trump voters seem to think). The barber example also works perfectly against tariffs unless we think the client should impose retaliatory 50% tariff on the barber and pay $45 next time.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


OK, have it your way - let's assume that Congress doesn't listen to me and they decide everything connected with spending, saving, economic policies etc. on their own.

So here's what I would do...

I would play golf or have fun with female interns and cigars. Or both.

This way I wouldn't do any damage to the perfect system of economic violence that the USA managed to achieve at great cost, using all its military might, bribery and diplomatic cunning. This system also benefits all our allies in Europe (including Poland). Sure, the third-worlders would keep suffering but that wouldn't worry us too much, now would it?

And here's what I wouldn't do...

I wouldn't impose tariffs on the entire world, driving up prices of everything for my beloved Americans. I wouldn't give insider trading tips to my billionaire friends whilst watching average Joe's retirement fund go down the drain. In other words, I wouldn't step on a rake and claim that it's 5D chess.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


It's Lent, so I'm being nice to people and I won't respond the way I should.


Republicans have majority in Congress, don't they? So why shouldn't they follow their own president's advice and do all he asks them?

You have no idea how economy works, you fall for stupid populist slogans, and you treat LGBT the way Crow treats Vatican. Funny and sad at the same time.

And I told you in #296:

Put an irrevocable government ban on all budget deficits. Don't spend more than you earn. Go back to good old American thrift and curb the exorbitant consumerism. Stop spending more than you earn, which means not taking on any more government debt. Cut all you can cut, save as much as you can. Tighten your belt - that's what you do in times of crisis and not impose tariffs on the entire world (which will only result in driving up prices for American consumers).

The problem is Trump won't do it, he won't go back to honest common sense economy. He's a crook worried more about giving insider trading tips to his billionaire friends than about average Americans. Horrible president and a horrible person.

The only positive thing I can see in the current administration is cutting the government administration cost (although I'm not sure if they're cutting in the right places). Apart from that they're all over the place.

I already told you in #296.


You are being rude for no reason. I'm just explaining things to you in very simple terms. Trump is like Polish generals in 1939 - they wanted to win modern war with cavalry, Trump wants to win in modern globalised economy with 19th, early-20th century methods.


Your problem is that you elected a caveman for a president.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


Tell ya what, Novi.

Go to your local coffee shop and buy a coffee for 5 bucks. Oh, no! Now you have a $5 trade deficit with the coffee shop - this is unacceptable. You have no other option but to fight this injustice, Trump-style. Impose a 50% tariff on them.

When you go there next time, your coffee will be $7.50. 5D chess.

*rolls eyes*

You think it's retarded? Well, it's even more retarded when you're a country that can print dollars and pay for coffee and everything with them (the inflation is spread all over the world, because dollar is the main reserve currency of the world). Add to this all the insider trading (billionaires making money while average joes losing money in their retirement funds) as well as the worldwide loss of credibility of the USA as an ally and you will see that your president is not only a caveman but also a crook who hurts his own people the most. But, by all means, knock yourself out and continue worshipping the orange-skinned 5D chess player.

Off-Topic / Stock Market Talk and Trading - part 2 [733]


Start living within your means. Don't spend more than you earn. Put an irrevocable government ban on all budget deficits. Rebuild your industry. Bring back the gold standard. Go back to good old American thrift and curb the exorbitant consumerism. It's all common sense really.

The most idiotic thing that you can do in the current situation is start a trade war with the entire world--a trade war that will put your most valuable asset, American Dollar, at peril and risk its position as international reserve currency. It's beyond retarded to put huge tariffs on all imports because the tariffs that your caveman of a president imposes will eventually be paid for by your own people.

And don't get me wrong - I don't want to see the downfall of America; I made nice money on American index funds and I don't mind strong American economy because almost the entire world benefits from the system but Trump is making a complete and utter mess of it all. Instead of telling American people that they have been living way beyond their means for decades (this applies to the rich and the middle classes) and now it's time for belt-tightening, hard work and thrift, he imagines that the entire world will pay for American profligacy. Ain't no gonna happen.


Well, I didn't get half-a-billion bucks from my Dad :)

Maybe these 50 countries (including China), as well as those who don't seek trade talks, should sell all the dollars and American bonds that they have, effectively turning dollar into a toilet paper (no more printing dollars and spreading inflation all over the globe for America). Perhaps they should also refuse to make any sort of transactions in dollars and stop all trade with the USA? I wonder who will first feel the consequences more heavily - the world or the USA. :)

Maybe the world should come to the conclusion that it's time to stop the exorbitant American consumption and their raping of the entire planet Earth? If an average Chinese consumed as much as an average American, we would need three additional planet Earths--is it fair?

It's a pity that it came to that but that's what happens when you choose a caveman to be your president.
