USA, Canada / Polish people in LA / California [28]

Yet many soviet refugees have made good lives for themselves in California - including of course System of a Down and the founders of Google.

Must be something about the place that is better than Moscow ?

Work / Medical jobs in Poland? [12]

Why would handing swabs and mouthwash to patients be more interesting than an office job ?

Law / Asylum laws in Poland [41]

Absolutely insane - Poland is a country where the parents of disabled kids are left with very little support. This is obviously a complicated story

Life / What does it mean when a Pole winks at you? [7]

A way of recognizing that only you and the recipient know a piece of information

Yes it can be flirtatious - if I saw a cute girl the other side of the room my first move would be a big smile - a wink is more flirtatious than a smile :)

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

I think she is doing a great job and so do most sensible people - she works hard, has integrity and high moral standards and is pro business - no wonder PiS want her out.

Its much better to have politicians who have experience of managing political institutions - they know that you have to build coalitions, hear different points of view etc. The sooner the world gets back to professional politicians the better.

TV stars and businessmen don't normally work out well. Reagan is an exception but he had 2 terms as governor of a big state first.

UK, Ireland / Moving from Ireland to Poland. Some questions. [13]

1. It's nowhere near enough for three of you - 6000 would give you a basic life. 8000 would be comfortable

2. No it's not a big problem. Poles don't really do heavy curtains

3. Not really - you have to pay into the state system to qualify but the list of subsidized medicine is not as much as in the west

4. Someone else can answer this dumb question - it's not a great reason to move

Life / Scars of Communism on Polish culture. [55]

This is Poland Zdzislaw - We are all proud and all our grandparents were killed or deported so spare us the martyr act.

I don't know what you mean by Polish ways but it's a free country and people can follow whatever ways they want to.

You should look at the exit poll Ironsides it has clear data on education and age

Very close in the US - Duda winning 55-45.

This is the last year the old timers in the Red Apple Buffet will be in the majority - in 2025 it will be Polish bankers in NY and villa owners in Florida that decide the US Polonia vote

The shame factor is apparently already included in the exit poll calculation in the second round

Will be very close

The regional split is already in however with the predictable result - Duda running up all of his votes East of the Wisla among the old and less educated

Re controlling the courts then the worst thing was makinG the Justice Minister also the Director of Prosecutions - it's an obvious and very dangerous step to using the courts to political ends,

Re leadership of Eastern Europe then it might never have been but it should have been - Poland has overtaken Hungary and Czech in wealth a few years ago, and Warsaw has become just as cosmopolitan and business like as Prague and Budapest and Vienna.

My 3 top reasons

Threat to democracy - especially trying to control the courts

Weakening Poland's position in Europe - Poland should be the natural leader of Eastern Europe but it has lost that role and the moderate democracies like Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania etc do not look up to Poland

Renationalization - I'm not opposed to keeping strategic assets in state ownership, but PiS just uses state companies to feed and water an army of untalented cronies

Love / POLISH WOMEN ARE PROMISCUOUS? DISCUSS. [164]

She wrote that 10 years ago so don't expect a reply - at s as guess she is enjoying a summer holiday with her husband and small kids now. Maybe you can also do something more fulfilling than trolling ?

I was doing well until the government forcibly shut my business with no compensation and no support.

Who cares what it was like in February ? now it is completely screwed and it is the governments fault that they were unprepared for this, had overspent on kielbasa and then wouldn't support hard working Poles.

So the real reason you will vote PiS from your home in Britain is that you don't like Muslims

You can quote those taxes because living abroad you don't pay any of them.

Working here and raising a family and employing people I can assure you that my level of tax is more or less the same. I am struggling to think of a major PiS reform that benefits business.

Law / Putative Spouse Poland [8]

There is a status of Outative Spouse in some US states I read - it means where you are married but it turns out the marriage is invalid because one of the parties was married before, because one of them thought their husband was dead when in fact he had just disappeared and various other Wild West explanations,

Bit no that status does not exist in Poland - you have to go through some hoops to get the right paperwork to show you can get married And probably they expect other countries to have the same standards.

Just put a ring on it if you are in love - that will solve all your problems with whether you are married or not.

But he's already done a debate on TVP In the first round, which was a farce as anything run by them is these days.

Fine to have it on Polssat, TVN or on the internet but TVP has no credibility - and by the way advertisers are abandoning it in droves now so it will need even more handouts from our taxes.

Duda is losing momentum and I think might lose. He has to get his entire vote out again to win - that's difficult to do when he has no positive messages. Going to talk to a few hundred of the converted in Konskie (A one horse town ?) instead of debating before the nation Isn't smart.
