Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

I don't hate Poland, but I can think of two reasons why it doesn't pull me as much as it should: Poles distrustful nature and those winters.

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

you guys actually bothered to read the op's second post? I have a hard time believing that he travels at all... maybe works on the pipeline or something, and think himself a world traveler. Ha!

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [859]

The picture looks more like a fart in a disco.

It shouldn't be, but that was funny.
And the hearts, popping out of black holes in chests? You see the twins, in blue?
That is just so bad, it is embarrassing.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

And why would English speaking people feel a need to use a Polish word (although with a little different emphasis/pronunciation of it) to describe Poles instead of the English word "Pole", when they don't use an Italian language word to describe Italians, a German language word to describe Germans

maybe.. Polanders? I just don't like "Poles". It's like calling Germans "Germs"

I really don't like "Pole". The double meaning is not flattering.
Let's switch them around; make Polak the correct one, as it should be, and Pole the derogatory one.
M'key?

but a lot of things seem very suspicious (like the treatment of the plane wreckage)

unless one is intimate with that process, one should not speculate.
The press is the biggest ghoul.

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

It's not a "gentlemen's club", it's just some shady bar.

LOL here, "gentlemen's club" IS a euphemism for a shady bar!

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

Exposing this one is good, but there are others. So, short of not going out to these "clubs" the thing to do would be to order bottled beer and pay as you go?

Real Estate / Residential real estate values go down in Poland [455]

None of them are rich

it's predictable that you skirt the meaning of my statement and latch on to one word to dispute. And add on a personal insult to milky, just to lower the bar.

Delph, you are really sounding ignorant now: "all my friends are rich so the ones that are not must be stupid and lazy".

Edit: scratch: "friends". It should say all the people I interact with.

I still don't get it.. - you want to kick people out from the apartments they had since the communist times, because.. well.. they lived in the communist times?

If they want to pass it to their children, then they should pay the fair market price for it. It's built with public money - why should the public transfer money to a private pocket?

What are you talking about: sentimentality? That's what you think about inheritance?
Anyway, maybe their families had the money/holdings that the government took? How far do you go back the make sure the fair price have been paid?

Also, who decides when the flat is too big? And how many people should live in it? That sounds like the good old communist times.

Regardless what currency they paid for those flats with; money, slavery, ass-kissing, it's probably the only material thing of value they have to pass to their children.

Besides "what they paid for" is immaterial in inheritance, only what it's worth currently.

There is always the other side of the coin, for example:
20 year olds buying real estate looks like trouble to me
Babcia retiring in a piece of real estate she worked for all her life might seem pretty fair when you start getting old.

What is your opinion, foreigner, did he think that the military has been treated unfairly by the civilians, or did he think military is at fault and he can't bear the disgrace?

News / Polish prosecutor 'shoots self after news conference' [93]

in his mind he's saving the military prosecutor's office from the civilians

That is my question: does he think that the military has been treated unfairly by the civilians, or does he think military is at fault and he can't bear the disgrace?
