Polish people are very defensive when cornered.

Miranda,

Making this kind of generalizations is irresponsible and unfair. You can't judge all the peopl in Poland and speak as if you know everybody in Poland. Do you even live in Poland now?

So many of their polocies just do not make any sense.

What policies you have in mind? Be specific and stop making generalizations! Just because something doesn't make sense to you does not mean that it doesn't make sense to everybody.

Don't be so defensive.

I'm not being defensive. In his original post (and his other posts too) WroclawBoy made a lot of unfair generalizations. I just wanted to to point that out.

Post office. I went back the next day-

Oh, story from ZUS - they mae a mistake, so I went and ask them to look at it again

Miranda, I feel for you but these things happen every where. WroclawBoy was trying to imply that bad things happen in Poland only. That is far fetched generalization.

Having to bribe people in the medical industry

Did anybody force you to give a bribe? You could have gone to a private clinic and you wouldn't have to bribe anybody there.

Foreigners requiring a permit to buy property

What is wrong with that?

having to have car lights on 24/7 all year round

Makes driving little more safer, wouldn't you agree?

Having to bribe driving test examiners

Did anybody ask you to gave a bribe? If they did, you should have notified the police.

the whole stamping documents procedure

What "stamping documents procedure" you have in mind? Be more specific.

Baseing unbaseing and the rights of a based individual

???

having to personally visit every utility company with the previous owner of a property to swith the bills, why cant we simply post documents

Perhaps to prevent any possible manipulations involving this procedure?

Property register

Hmmm, what is wrong with registering property?

I always laugh when someone tries to be smart and correct a spelling mistake, that really is petty.

Take a look at your own posts. You will find a lot of spelling mistakes.

Hardly reason to call entire nation liars.

If you dont bribe you dont get the service, private clincs cost a fortune

Fortune? For instance: Why do some british come to Poland to get their teeth fixed? Is it because this service is so expensive? The point is that YOU as a wealthy british subject did not/do not have to bribe anybody unless you have chosen to do so.

Of course, corruption is everywhere, but it doesn't mean you can call entire nation liars because SOME doctors are corrupt.

Poles do not require a permit in my country and theres millions of them.

That's because Polish law is different than british. If you do not like the Polish law, why can't you move out of Poland and go back to Britain where everything seems perfect and you wouldn't have to suffer under the oppression of Polish law anymore.

No other Western countries do it.

Just because other countries don't do it, doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing it.

The whole point of your post was to prove that Poland is a corrupt country and Poles are liars. Now, you are telling me that some procedures that were clearly established to prevent manipulation and corruption are "no good" and should be abandoned because other countries don't have this kind of procedure. This makes no sense.

It can take upto 8 months meanwhile you are paying an extra interest rate. the registry office is full of cues with no one really knowing what they are doing. This should be a solicitors job. Oh and theres always a problem.

It just means this procedure should be changed. It does not prove your point that Poland is corrupt and Poles are liars.
