Most of the population won't even react to our country being attacked in the first 2-3 days - on the first two days they will be in doubt if we have really been attacked

Come on, we live in 21st century. Have you ever heard of an invention called the computer? :):):)

hahah - so we will be fighting russian tank columns with hacking attacks (hope the Russian tank servers are linux then :P)

News / Achievements of the Tusk's Polish government [538]

if you want to have the data in my previous post confirmed -

The job market situation in Poland is not cheerful. The unemployment rate in March was 13.1 percent . The largest group of unemployed are young people aged 25-34 - GUS.

In March of unemployed was 133.9 thousand 2 million . people. While this is less than a month earlier , but more than a year ago.

Very bad situation of young people. 29.6 per cent . total number of registered unemployed are persons aged 25-34 years , 22 per cent . - Persons under the age of 24 years . The largest group of unemployed persons ( 28.4 percent . ) Demonstrated a vocational education . Every tenth Pole without a job had completed college.

The right to unemployment benefit was in March, just 16.5 percent . unemployed. According to economists , PKO BP Sędzimir Carolina unemployment rate is now declining throughout the spring and summer until October , when it reaches about 10.5 percent .

it fits another thread better (down-dumbing of Polish education) but I let's have a go at this: unemployment among the youth - 22 per cent of all unemployed are below 24 (51 per cent are below 34) - this country desperately needs education that equips young people better for the challenges of real life (which is not achieved by lowering of educational standards)

3. In result, despite the crisis, Tusk`s government managed to keep its popularity with Poles on decent levels, like no other government before.

with the help of the media hushing up inconvenient facts not asking difficult questions and trumpeting around those extraordinary succesess of the current regime,

Given the number of one child families in Poland, it is very sensible to 'lump them in' with other kids of various ages.

why should six-year-olds go to school - they used to go to pre-schools and learn to read there and everything was fine - what is the point of sending them to schools

you don't know Polish realities Stu - they are going to lump all those six year olds with older years (up to 12) - and in some places elemantary schools are lumped with gymnasiums - I have seen schools for little kids in England - these were well schools for little kids - not for all kinds of kids

Get a grip, man - Poland can`t stay behind Europe.

hahah - behind - funny - very funny - if everybody else smokes you should too - this is the same logic

Funny you bash my list starting from No 10, which is the least important there. :):)

funny how self-centered you are - Stu simply argues with one point you make - maybe he has no problems with other points

your point 9 pawian - preparations to euro 2012 - I wouldn't be surprised if accomodation and transfer of all those coming to see the championships is gonna end up a one big mess -

? Or don`t adjust the education system?

and they do?? getting people better equipped for the labour market by sending them to school a year earlier - hmm interesting

six-year-olds in public school in my opinion will result in even more learning disabilities in kids and other not so nice psychological phenomena associated with education (fear of going to school anyone?)

When you mention examples of corruption scandals during PO rule, don`t forget to mention all previous ones for a fair comparison, OK?

what previous ones? dorsz for 8 złoty or Włoszczowa platform? do you know of any other?

By imbeciles I mean all those who critisize Tusk`s government for increasing the national debt and budget deficit but at the same time complain about low salaries, cuts in state spendings, no pay and pension rises, high taxes, etc etc.

ever heard of the thing called corruption - do you think corruption increased or decreased durging the reign of Tusk (should I mentions some examples) -

I'm not familiar with how GDP (PKB) is counted but somehow it makes me wonder how it is possible that while tax revenues have fallen by more than 10 per cent in 2010 compared to 2009 positive growth have been recorded for 2010 (no taxes were lowered in the period)

and by the way - I am a voter of PiS - even if not an enthusiastic one - and what I dream of actually is a coaltion of PiS and UPR for the coming election (Mikke while often a very good observer often fails to make good judgement because blinded by ideologies - he once went into coaltion with PO before a parliamentary election (I think against his best knowledge) - they got screwed by PO big time)

levels of education are plummeting and the thing they spend money on is sport facilities - man not everyone is gonna play football for living - at the same time for Polish economy to grow we need more engineers

we have to make our country more innovative,

what we need is first not to let the level of education degrade (especially technical education) as it does now - unless Polish people are supposed to be dishwashers around Europe

Spending rule

and the same time (or actually even before) goverment messed with various position of the budget (removing them from the state budget - like the road construction fund) which is just a case of 'creative accountancy'

Budget savings.

heheh lowering the cost of public administration by increasing the number of state beaurocracy by some 20 per cent???

Poland is swiftly increasing it's national debt and you mumble something about not falling into a debt trap

Construction of a new terminal in Wrocław - Starachowice airport.

Let's just say one - they've managed to keep Jaroslaw Kaczynski out of power successfully.

keeping Kaczyński out as a value in itself - OMG :) - you must take Kaczyński for no less than some Hitler

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

Polish surnames ending in -ski are derivates of place names - in your case the place name could have been Wosiewo, Wosiew or Wosie - people would be called such surnames if somehow connected to the place - very often they were noble owners of such places (villages mostly) (see Polish nobility) - Wosiewo, Wosiew or Wosie are not names I am familiar with so I assume it must have been a little place -

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

But if I don't have the money to retire at 70, for whatever unfortunate reason, I don't want the government telling me I can't work any more.

if you retire at 70 and still have not enough money to live on then you have to ask if the governments now and before are up to their task or they were cheating on you in extraordinarily multiple ways and you did nothing to stop them even if you understood that they were not fair

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

Lyzko:
also the Netherlands,

I must say that people in the Netherlands overall have extremely good English.

this is true - however I have once met a fairly young till-operator in Holland who either knew little English or had problems with English numerals (I had to practice my wee-bit Dutch - and beware if you can speak just a couple of phrases in Dutch don't go looking for a job with 'Ik/we zoeke(n) arbeid' - it will be confronted with fast swishing sentences you won't understand untill the person to speak them realizes that you gape ;)

Life / Why Poles have so pro-emigration attitude? [93]

Why can't it be like that in PL?

because notarians in Poland are a corporation - they decide who can join the corporation and who cannot - that same thing was for other lawyers too before in Poland - btw PiS wanted to get rid of corporations among law professionals - it was naturally hated by all these lawyers

History / Where did the power of Poland vanish to, since... let`s say, some 300 years ago? [180]

actually in short the German history (as well as Polish but German is more striking here) indicates one point - you bully around you end up bullied - you encroach on your neighbours - you will be encroached upon (if you care to consider it is one of the main principles of the Universe - what you give is what you will recieve )- I hope the Germans learned the lesson
