News / Poland's Future in the EU under PIS [51]

Its not an issue imposed by the EU. Its ab obligation of the 1998 peace treaty that he EU and the UK and Ireland uphold the agreed border arrangements- so the EU is fulfilling that role while the UK wants to walk away

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [96]

What is the point of proposing an alternative since Duda is only half way through his term and unlike Jaroslaw he seems to be in perfect health,

It's perfeclty valid o question his decisions. Hopefully we will get someone in 2020 who at least is his own man and not a puppet and who would stand up for democracy,

Off-Topic / Social Media - who uses Facebook or similar? [45]

Of course - stands to reason that a 34 year old tech billionaire would take instructions from a retired 80 something banker, whose fortune is about 30 times smaller than his own.

Interestingly those who attribute the stock market boom to Trump ignore just how much of the increase is being driven by tech companies values rising while they are hoovering up advertising markets and consumers,

Advertisers are not interested in the alt right because they are generally old, low income and unwilling to try new products.

But the solution is obvious - they can start their own social media site where anything goes, they can abuse people, praise Putin or engage in conspiracy theories until the cows come home. The billion odd people who want to stick with Facebook can then be at peace while they take photos of their kids sandcastles and check out their ex girlfriends new hunk.

Off-Topic / Social Media - who uses Facebook or similar? [45]

If you don't like it then there is a simple solution- leave. Its not compulsory to use it and probabky healthier and more productive not to.

Why doesn't Arron Banks or Bannonj or the Koch brothers make some kind of swivel eyed facebook where people can say what they want all day long ? That would solve the problem

Off-Topic / Social Media - who uses Facebook or similar? [45]

No because i only use it for the most innocuous reasons - liking vacation snaps or sports results. I cant be bothered to argue about politics there.

Its a private business and they can do what they want - there is a thread about thus with Rich talking nonsense- comparing it to water, electricity, email etc

News / Poland Sports News [1122]

So you have obviously never attended a soccer game in Poland - no surprise as you dont spend much time here. Almost all Ekstraklasa teams have foreign players - from Africa ans South America. The national team has had players born in nigeria, brazil, france, germany

Again its sad that this normal Polish sports thread has been a place to discuss eugenics- just like the sports thread in off topic has. Probably time to bail soon and leave this forum to Rich and the visa seekers of Delhi.

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.

News / Israel opposing potential new Polish law to criminalise term 'Polish death camps' [1539]

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

News / Israel opposing potential new Polish law to criminalise term 'Polish death camps' [1539]

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.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

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.

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.

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.

1 yes
2 yes probably but Russias weak economy is caused by its own choices

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
