Is it true Germany has a deal with Pakistan for skilled work? In the IT sector or something. I think I read something about this. Geez... paki's in Germany.

Life / Child abuse in Poland [64]

I meant more of the slapping around the kids kind of abuse. We can include verbal abuse here as well. Aren't Poles more "hands on"?

Life / An example of what is wrong with Poland (fatal traffic accident and a tram) [55]

The same s'hit would happen in Canada. Our tram system sucks. Always delayed. Stop complaining!

Travel / Krakow or Warsaw for a 25yr old? [12]

You'll be landing in Warsaw so check it out first. The Royal Route and Old Town are beautiful. Check out the Royal Castle. Warsaw is the perfect mix. Has the best night life.

Food / Origin of the pierogi [118]

Let's get some facts straightened out.

A lot of cultures have a "pierogi" type delicacy. Italians have ravioli, Chinks have dumplings (which come fried by the way and pierogi's are not traditionally fried) and Poles and Ukrainians have the pierogi.

In Canada, where I live, pierogi's have been made popular by Poles and Ukrainians when they were coming here a hundred years ago. Toronto has more Polish delicatessens than the Ukrainians and they are readily available for sale here.

In America, the Poles are the biggest by far eastern European group and are attributed to them almost exclusively.

I did some research a while back and found out that pierogi's can be traced to the Polish/Ukrainian lands.

Travel / Visiting Poland - A bit worried about social attitudes and racist inclinations.. [80]

Polish guy in Canada here: I kind of cringe at Polish biatches with dark guys because I don't find dark women attractive so then the dating pool gets smaller and smaller. Is the trade off fair for white men? No.

I believe people will have the least problems in relationships and marriages when they are with a partner from the same/similar culture and religion. This is proven time and time again- especially in multi-culti societies. Poles are smart for being cautious.

Polish girl+dark guy= AIDS for her :)

Travel / My comments about Poland after staying there. [28]

Poland poor? No way. Unfortunately Poles are their own worst enemy and the champions of complaining. I wish this dies out one day. Be positive like Italians.

Poland is not very cold. Keep in mind this is winter time but in Russia and Canada it is muuuch colder. Last weekend Toronto had Arctic weather for a few days. It was -33.

I want to move to Poland. In fact I'll be there for 17 days, from late May to early June.

Travel / Which cities in Poland are nice to visit [80]


I have to defend Warsaw again. Most tourists arrive in Warsaw and the city is a great one indeed. You just have to leave the train station. Warsaw has nice attractions like: The Old and New Towns, a beautiful 4km Royal Route (Krakowskie Przedmiescie) filled with great architecture/shopping, Castle Square which is quite romantic, beautiful Lazienki Park. Check out the National Museum and also the Royal Castle which is also a museum. Also the new architecture is quite impressive and if you like that stuff then it's worth a look. Warsaw also has some great interactive museums dedicated to the Warsaw Uprising and Chopin. Praga district across the river has a growing art scene and can be quite bohemian. Warsaw is cosmopolitan and is a mixture of old and new.

Life / Rate Poland (Life Quality / Culture and People / Food): 1-10! [232]


You're British. You have the worst food in the world. Anyone want a potato sandwich? How can you generalize all restaurants in Poland as crap? Polish food is more real than any food in the west. Another thing, "bland", natural food is usually the best for you because it doesn't have preservatives and artificial sweetening, among other things. You can't compare limey bread with Polish bread.

To another post about credit: credit is the biggest scam in the world and should be more regulated. If you're proud of your quality of life in having access to all the credit in the world then you can just dig your own grave. Why do you think the west is in such shambles? PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT. Not gonna waste more energy on this.

No need for personal attacks

News / Why is Poland developing so slowly or in the wrong direction? Who is responsible ? [317]


I agree with you.
I'm not sure why this is a topic even. Hell, I don't know why there's so many s'tupid topics here sometimes! Anyways, my 2 cents is this: Poland today is more homogenous, wealthier and safer than it has been in the last 300 years or so. It's not perfect but name me one Euro country that is. France, Germany and the UK will be divided in a few decades by mult-culti and this is where the real chaos lies for Europe. Poland in my opinion is much better off because right now the population is quite homogenous. I see good things for Poland. By the way, I read recently that in the last few years, Poland has build more roads and highways to better connect itself (especially in Eastern Poland) than it has done in all of its history.

News / "To understand Poland you must understand Frederic Chopin" (Stratfor Friedman) [49]

@Sokrates
Can you give me an example of Poland being f'ucked by Germany in the last 20 years? I mean, progress has been good for Poland. We have to work together. Besides, didn't Poland handle the recession well because they were more self reliant (Poles were encouraged to buy Polish products, as an example)? Germany is very export oriented. They need Poland to do well, it's in their interest. The only country Poland should worry about is Russia since they know nothing about business. Am I wrong people?

News / "To understand Poland you must understand Frederic Chopin" (Stratfor Friedman) [49]


From what I know about him: He's a Hungarian Jew who immigrated to the USA as a youngster. His mother was from Bratislava and his father from Uzhgorod (Ukraine I think). I have his book, "The Next 100 Years". I think he genuinely wants Central Europe to do well, especially Poland. He believes with American military aid Poland can achieve great things. He believes Russia will become unstable and break up even more. I don't know how realistic this is at the moment. He has analyzed how much Europe has changed since the year 1900 (20 years by 20 years and so on to the year 2000) and promotes the idea of "expect the unexpected". He is definitely a person that thinks outside the box.

News / "To understand Poland you must understand Frederic Chopin" (Stratfor Friedman) [49]

I like Friedman actually. He says good things about Poland sometimes but he is a bit of a fear monger. I thought the article was interesting although I don't like how he believes Poland only had a horse cavalry at their disposal during the war. Very simplistic comment from him.

I kind of agree that you can't help a country militarily if it can't even help itself. Poland's gotta nuke up I think eventually. Remember who the neighbors are.

Do you guys think it's true that the Northern European plain will never truly be a place of perpetual peace (as he claims)?
