Can the mods move the last few comments to one of the many threads about migrants ? Imagine a casual new reader of this forum clicking here to read about sport and in fact reading about rape gangs and how other women are dogs

You have an MBA ?

How do you know the cost of living is different - what if the only surgeon has five kids to feed and the German one only one kid? Isn't the service performed exactly the same? Why are people'is relative cost bases and issue?

Of course the answer is that labour markets are rigged - in a truly open market let's see how much someone will pay you to fix the shingles.

You mock university education yet these are the kind of questions that you could answer even after a few lessons of economics in any university.

Ok so a surgeon should get more than a miner. Except a miner risks death and more people want to be surgeons than miners.

And what about a surgeon in say Wroclaw ? Why is he paid less than a surgeon in Dresden for doing the same thing 200km away

But have you considered the reasons behind societies that have higher living standards, more wealth, less violence and inequality and longer lifespans than Chicago ? Places that you mock like Sweden, Switzerland, Holland, Japan, Australia.

People there do seem to accept higher taxes as the price of a safety net and a fair deal and they have a greater level of empathy than US or Russian society.

Some bingo words that will be in your reply. Migrant scum, rape gangs, Merkel, Soy Boy, Londonistan, cucks.

Love / How do guys from Poland flirt? [47]

While I can imagine that happening in the US, it seems an implausible pick up strategy in Catholic / communist early 60's Poland which is where I thought you grew up ?

But is it possible that sone of your problems dealing with Poles and always feeling they will rip you off, cones from the way you comport yourself - You seem suspicious of outsiders, Get upset about small things,Focus very much on your own wealth, and if you call people riff raff that would indicate that you feel superior.

I haven't really had any more problems dealing with locals here than I have been in the other country - the people I'm not inherently out to cheat you, the business culture is obviously developing and people get more experienced and build long-term relationships.

I wasn't talking to you - you are never right. My answer was to Mafketis

Yes you are quite right and in each case got about 30 percent

News / Political life of Poland [135]

But Voters are asked that regularly at elections in many democracieis - there have been literally hundreds of parties across the democratic world standing on explicit anti immigration platforms.

Mostly they get very low votes, are you few percent and in the best case maybe 10 or 15%.

If you are talking about having a referendum then maybe suggest a question that could be asked ?

Do you approve of any migration?

Do you approve of skilled migration?

Do you approve of humanitarian migration?

Do you approve of qualified engineers using their parents govt connections to enter the US?

Driving from Wroclaw to Warsaw used to be a whole day experience. Of course you could fly but the flights used to cost a fortune and the tiny airport only had flights at foggy times of the day.

It's ridiculous to say the infrastructure has not improved - its safer, quicker and has more capacity.

The stuff about towels and toothbrushes has already been exposed as a lie during the Brexit campaign - too late sadly for the halfwits who believed it.

I presume yiu are getting all this drivel from Breitbart.

A road is more difficult than a private dwelling - the public have to drive on it.

You were a kid when you left and you never drove your lexus or whatever it is on those roads.

The fact that much of the EU money flows to Polish builders can easily be validated by reviewing the financials of the many builders and developers listed on the WSE which you should do sometime.

How many of Polands top 10 banks are German ? I can think of only one, Pfandbriefbank, which is really niche.

In media well Axel Springer is pretty big but most media is Polish owned - TVP, Agora, Polsat, Rmf and Zet. TVN is US owned and of course the biggest media these days are also US owned- fb, instagram, Twitter etc.

News / Political life of Poland [135]

That is completely untrue that 80bn has flowed back to Germany. My guess is that at least 50 percent if such works are performed by Poles, either as main contractor or subcontractor.

Those who write from the comfort of Chicago of course have no idea what infrastructure was like before 2004.

And of course there will be many pages of admin involved in building a road - it needs to be safe, long lasting, finished on time etc - i cant imagine that in Illinois you would be able to build a road either.

Yeah right - as soon as Dirk gets back from earning today's million then we will be hearing about how PiS are the last bastion protecting us from diseased Muslims.

Hopefully with Kaczynski laid up then there will be a reasonable solution to this.

News / Political life of Poland [135]

Can't we just boot your immigration nonsense to another thread. Every discussion gets ruined by that.

In this case it is not about being a de facto president but about protecting the independent judiciary which is a key part of the constitution and of Poland's progress to become a stable and free democracy.

IS this is different from the last 30 years - Poland was ranked number 6 with a big star and an easy looking group.

As for the threads merging - there are 15?or so russian troll threads about muslims but this is the biggest topic of conversation in Poland today :)

Better than the Senegal game but they give the ball away far too easily - very weak in midfield :(

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

1 yes
2 yes probably but Russias weak economy is caused by its own choices
3 its a guess
4 russia's
5 nothing to do with refugees - more the peaceful alliance that has lasted imperfectly since 1945
5 dont complain - you earn good money for that

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

I wouldn't say they are trying to impose their own version - but they certainly wish for policies that weaken coherence of Western Europe

That is why they have funded Le Pen in France, Brexit, Trump, probably some people in Italy and Germany as well. In Poland, check, hungry then they are very active and probably have a good number of spies in different departments et cetera

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

Rich you keep asking for specifics but they are provided to you - on its own Russian subversion of democracy in central Europe is damaging. We want the freedom to be able to choose our own idiots - not those favoured by Russia.

It is clear that democracy sit somewhere outside the Russian psyche, and it's somewhere within the western European psyche. In a country like Poland we want to develop as a democracy and not as a buffer state for paranoid thieves. We also want the fruits of our labour to flow to the ordinary people and not to a tiny group of oligarchs

Good result last night - they will be dancing on the streets of Chicago

Thought you would have been happy with Russias 5-0 win

Yes - this group is wide open after Japan beating Colombia - get a good start and try to win the group !

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

Russia has a big army, an untrustworthy leader, an extensive programme of espionage ained at subverting liberal democracy and a history of military intervention - in Georgia, Ukraine, Syria plus othet conflicts like Yugoslavia, Moldova.

Your English is faltering again - heavy afternoon on the vodka ?

Why is 1989 a start point ? Many of us remember 1940-1989 and the rapes, destruction and occupation.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

The same one as it posed to Georgia and Ukraine - interference in our domestic politics and democratic processes, with the threat of invasion if we dont like it.

Thank god for NATO

Life / Americanization of Poland - good or bad? [49]

Apart from macs, kfc, bk and starbucks i cannot think of an American retailer that has a serious presence in Poland. None of the food, clothing, sports, DIY or drugstores are American.

Gap, Footlocker and Exxon have been and gone but i cant think of many others.

Almost all malls have polish food available - there are chains like Altana, and Chlopskie jadlo plus pubs and plenty of stoisko selling sausage, cheese etc plus you can often eat at the deli counter in the supermarket which has plenty of kapusta and schab.

Did you really visit here ?
