News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]

I suppose all of us are asked "silly and dumb" questions about our countries from tme to time. Certainly I have been about UK. Well at least people are asking questions. no need to judge so harshly.

This is all I meant.

And if someone asks about such silly and dumb questions about Poland is simply idiot for me who lives in backwardness and obscurantism. Before asking let's they learn some basic things about geography.

Or maybe you should just gently correct them. How would you feel as a visiting Pole if Americans treated you this way over minor ignorance?

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

It is my understanding that the Polish jokes originated during/after WWII when returning American GIs told stories of perceived Polish cowardice in the war. This is also when the notion of French cowardice became ingrained in the public psyche.

History / Polish-German alliance. [489]

IF my argument is not coherent please point it out.

I’d be happy to.

You said that Jew babies should be murdered for the crime of living where their parents decided to live (called them “viable targets”) and then here you’re you rail against Nazis with whom you clearly share their twisted beliefs. And you call this “educated” and “intellectual”. You’re a mess. Lol…

There, that was easy.

COMMON BARACK OBAMA YOU KNOW WHAT DESCRIMINATION IS ALL ABOUT

Why, because he is black? No. Obama has lived a charmed life. If anything his race has benefited him.

I'm not promoting this area in any "organized" way

Well, so far your have a vineyard and a ski area and your B&B&bar… (and whatever else you may have mentioned that I have forgotten). Seems to me you should all organize together and promote your little region to international tourists. Particularly now with Poland being in the EU and Western tourists heading that way.

I don't mind when tourists do visit and stay with me.

Are you presently up and running, prepared to accept guests? I mean, suppose a US tourist visiting Poland was interested in a place to stay, a base to return to while touring P-Land.

I'll give you some examples of the recent activity in my village. A Spaniard who has a Polish wife just recently purchased a large brick home here near the parish church.

You seem to know a great deal about the local transactions, Scorpio. Are you involved in local planning or tourist board? Are you and your friends trying to turn southern Poland into a rural tourist destination? Maybe this would require its own thread?

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [404]

What a bunch of amateurs...

It was great to see that stupid gimmick blow up in her face. Lol...
"Press the reset button" was a stupid and amateurish thing for Obama to say anyway.
We have idiots running our country trying to play on the pro level. We're all doomed...

Agro / Eco Tourism

Cool. Like Dwight! What else? Bed & breakfast? Weddings? Corn maze? Horse riding? Hay rides? Vineyard? Haunted barn at Halloween?
If I ever get over to Poland I’ll stop by for a beer and the Saturday night barn dance!

Thanks. That is all very interesting.
Hey, you’re the guy that’s gonna open the outdoor/ off road adventure camp, right? How were you able to buy your property if you’re not Polish? Your wife?

It is true.

I like it. During the discussions about foreigners buying up Poland I was hoping to see some sort of government protections in place. But no one mentioned this provision.

A little protectionist nationalism is good, particularly during difficult times. A hectare is like an acre?

Keep in mind, as I have often mentioned numerous times on Polish Forums, land exceeding 1 hectare has not been allowed for sale to foreigners without permission from the Polish government. That law will end in the year 2016. This pertains to private houses on such land, and small farms.

This is quite interesting. I hadn’t heard this before, not even in the thread about foreigners buying Polish properties.

Oh, I don’t know. I suspect for a time people will be more cautious with their investments and how far they extend themselves, but before long things will get back to how they were before. People –society- rarely learn their lessons.

Right, there is an upside. Despite the daily doses of bad news, if someone has money, a stable job and good credit, now is a great time to buy. It is a buyers market, the likes of which may not come around again once economies recover.

This may be so but it is not why an anti-military, enemy-appeasing Lib like Obama has trashed the idea. Even if he economic times were good he’d be against the shield.

Isn't he all feeble, like sick and dying? I think I could kick his midget ass.

Obama looked like a weak idiot capitulating to Russia over this. They threw it back in his face and made it public. Good. That’s what happens when an unfit amateur tries to appease enemies. But I doubt he learned his lesson.
