News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]


I'd guess 15ish however we'll see the signs earlier and of course China thinks very very long term.

China have got a lot of problems right round the corner and how they deal with them will make a lot of difference to the speed of things.

Do you really need to ask.

Then again, he probably knows himself that Chinese EVs will eventually bury Tesla.

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]


So yeah, learn some manners, maybe.

Your post was vague and makes no difference anyway; why shouldn't people buy homes where they live? Any 'pressure' on housing is common in large cities and if anything is the fault of social housing planners and politicians who believe housing is a 'market'.

This occurs regardless of the level of inward migration to a country. If a major city has a surplus of housing it indicates a stagnant or declining economy.

Hard to know where you get that from since most of the real estate in Warsaw is owned by and sold to locals.


Who the hell with an IQ over 110 or whatever even watches that drivel?


Evidently I live rather closer to it than you since you seem to be getting conniptions about who lives where.

You can never turn back a clock.

Off-Topic / God and Religion Talk [255]

Preaching at people and quoting dry religious texts is who church attendance in developed countries has plummeted and seems now to be in terminal decline.

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]


No. It keeps living standards for many over there very low compared to more developed places. The median income in some counties is lower than provincial Romania.


It tries to and they try to be. Their window of power was relatively short though and as a county it is in obvious decline. No empire lasts more than about 3 centuries

Their situation won't get any better than it is now (and in terms of power, they have far less of that than they did 30 years ago)and soon China will call all the shots. For a couple of decades now, their government has been talking about a "post-hegemony world" and threatening your closest allies (as individuals close to the regime have been doing) is a surefire way for those closest allies to be allies no more.

Perhaps then they should stop trying to impose 'market values' on others of they don't want to be subject to them themselves.


Actually we invented it (and without liberal British radicals there would be no U.S.). Nobody sets 'rules' and if a 'market' is supposed to be free, what 'rules' would there be anyway?

They don't call the shots.

It isn't a free market at all if they don't want market prices or impose tariffs.

A stupid question from a bored troll.


Sign of a booming economy and worth mentioning that the property 'market' in Warsaw is pretty toxic and has been for the past few years.

People.

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]


Completely nuts. The canal was built in another country; the colonial era is long over, it belongs to them now and they can charge the market rate.

Odd how Americans pretend to like the 'free market' until it bites them in their plus size arses.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]


Once again you pretend to misunderstand a comment you reply to.

People in Europe do not want increased civilian gun ownership. Nor do we want the problems that guns have caused over in America where people don't know the difference between a school and a shooting range.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]


Nobody does.

And you know perfectly well that we're talking about civilian gun ownership.

Now get lost.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]


Exactly.

They don't realise that people don't want mass gun ownership in Europe.

It's as if they want to export their own problems.

Hamburg Parsley?

No; that is only used east of a particular line in Europe, however that is of course a traditional ingredient of the Jewish-style chicken soup that is found around Europe, including PL.

This is the problem. He has nothing to do with Europe.

He should stick to interfering in his own continent instead of promoting nasty neo-fascists in other places.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1304]


He is a loose cannon who tries to use cash to influence domestic politics in countries he has no connection to.

And increasingly acts like some sort of creepy Bond villain.

He may well end up serving a very long prison sentence if he doesn't wind his tongue in.

Depends. There are far more bad restaurants than good ones, and an oversupply of ones that just serve things that are easy and normal enough to make in your own kitchen.
