Have fun doing the research and please get back to me when you are in a position to have a sensible grown up discussion.

No offence, but it didnt have a lot to lose to begin with and Im sure the cushion of cash from the EU and millions leaving to find work elsewhere helped, thus injecting cash in to the economy.

How many of those who have built houses could have afforded to do so had they not left Poland to earn money in the UK? How many who live in Poland earning Polish wages live in small communist apartments?

Bold statement - would you care to provide the facts that support that conclusion?

If you convince me I'll move out;)

You must be very tired of yourself, then :)

Borrowed money. GDP can go the same way as Greece. Already the Poles are making excuses for the forthcoming year, where EU hand-outs will be limited.

so if i am having such type of experience how i can have good image of poles. please tell me honestly.

Born in subcontinent India

the recent oposition and big hue and cry for the mosque in ochota area of warsaw itself is indicative how tolerant poles are. all is jsut on papers. when it comes to practice they prove to be racist and show hatred and dislikes for other relgions and colours.

Also, statutes and actions rarely follow the will of the overall population.

Why the constant deflection? If you want to talk about Poland, then talk about Poland and not other European nations. I'm not aware of any anti-Semitism rankings anyway ;) ;)

Well, you clearly didn't check them

quote me a figure

Of course, that's freedom of religion which is a different thing from religious tolerance. You saw the protests yourself when a 2nd major mosque was proposed for Warsaw.

I'll state it again, I was discussing broader tolerance. Because a few MP's or select individuals sign a motion, doesn't mean that the people follow it or even know about it.

Members of Polish-Lithuanian society, how many??

1264, LOL. This is 2010.

Poland has been Catholic for a very long time so religious tolerance laws just rest on paper if you don't have a fitting context in which to apply them.

It's easy to enact a law of religious toleration when you have only really had one in your country ;) ;) ;)

Following are abridged excerpts from the forty-six chapters of the Statute of Kalisz:
1. ... If any Christian should accuse any of the Jews in any matter whatsoever, even a criminal matter, he shall not be admitted to testimony except with two good Christians and also with two good Jews...

Religious tolerance in Poland had had a long tradition (e.g. Statute of Kalisz) and had been de facto policy in the reign of the recently deceased King Zygmunt II. However, the articles signed by the Confederation gave official sanction to earlier custom. In that sense, they may be considered either the beginning or the peak of Polish tolerance.

Prior to the Reformation, the Polish nobility were mostly either Roman Catholic or Orthodox with a small group of Muslims. Many families, however, soon adopted the Reformed faiths. After the Counter-Reformation, when the Roman Catholic Church regained power in Poland, the nobility became almost exclusively Catholic, despite the fact that Roman Catholicism was not the majority religion in Commonwealth (the Catholic and Orthodox churches each accounted for some 40% of all citizens population, with the remaining 20% being Jews or members of Protestant denominations). In the 18th century, many followers of Jacob Frank joined the ranks of Jewish-descended Polish gentry.

Multiculturalism, in its most desirable form, is quite normal for me. I moved away from that in 2001 into 2 homogeneous cultures. However, the greatest part of my life was experiencing it.

yes my child. now, take your toys and go play in sandbox

All in all it was a polish built

Chinese participation

People are looking for polish if you know what I mean.

if I'll ever consider it I won't touch east europeans

True but why is it that everywhere you look in western Europe majority of the prostitutes are from Eastern Europe, even after they have joined the EU and have similar work rights as westerners?

In Bulgaria they don't make or drink wódka. It's a wine region. Why should they be experts on wódka?

Fairy tales about Russo/Polish "similarities" are result of ignorace or lies on purpose.

I've spent about 10 years in many different parts of Russia, I speak the language, as a matter of fact I like Russkies and I love their culture.

But on the other hand I can hardly imagine two European nations being more different from each other

I was expecting more knowledge of Polish vodkas from an Eastern European.

The image of Russians drinkers/vodka producers had been formed ages before commies had a first breath.

Yes way :D
