History / Effects of Living under Communism in Poland [58]
it has in the past glory days of socialistics made most peoples better as it has prepared them for life as belonging to one mass organism, and people speak and thinks as one. This is of course most revolutionary and desired. The Polish working folk have left the cadres, alas, and headed straight for the shopping mall in an effort to become Homo Consumericus.
waitaminute, what the hell happened to my Kim Jiong-il avatar??

not in this house, welsh fella, my wife likes it when i spank her hard, sometimes she misbehaving just to feel my open palm on her firm bum. she is Polish by the way.
Girls, are you brought up in this country expecting men to be like this?
Men get some balls and stand up to her. Try it once, she might even like it.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [417]
inability to queue correctly and terrible driving manners while on the road. also a strange tendency to look at fellow Poles critically while abroad (Poles will not walk up to other Poles while on vacation, just sit back and watch what the others are doing in case they o something funny or worthy of critisism)...strange!!

Fo r the love of Pete can anyone finally answer the question of whether or not someone who bought a flat in 2006 will have to pay 10 percent gains tax after selling (assuming some of the money from the sale will be for paying off the home loan)??

Life / Fat People in Poland? [161]
sweden has a mature enough citizenry and political system where they can get away with banning ads for kids. In Poland they can't even get around to banning the giant billboards that block sunlight in people's flats (the problem gets press here but the politicians still refuse to do anything about it). Poland is too susceptible to payola. Too bad.
If they were to immediately ban advertising to children (as Sweden) it might not yet be too late. But I fear it is.

this is not entirely correct, there is no shortage of cheap junk food in Poland. But because many Poles cant afford cars they are forced to run after buses and trams (they often do not wait for you even if they see you running for the door) they burn off excess calories. Also there are many flats on second, tthird, and even fourth floors with no elevator service so many Poles have a daily stair-master workout.
Second Poland does not have cheap food unlike in America where they want to make you eat as much as possible to make you buy the most food you can eat.

true. the girls are definitely slimmer, and often very shapely. the men often develop a beer gut quite early though, as well as that tell-tale pork fat that comes from eating too much swine.
But in Poland you will not generally witness the double-decker size obese beings that graze in America.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]
never mind the arbitrary divisions and fashions of the day, countries like Poland are east of Europe's core so in terms of relative location they are "Eastern" Europe in the consciousness of most Europeans. Get over it. There are parts of South Korea farther north than certain parts of North Korea but that does not make them North korea. Thank you.
By the way this whole silly discussion is similar to when people from Ohio are lumped together with the US eAST coast but to people from Arizona, for example, they are very much "easterners"...whats the big deal?? Poor Poles, it hurts so much when they hear themselves refered to in the same category as Belorussians and Ukrainians. Ouch. Be tough that is the Juche way.
So - neither geographically nor politically that map doesn't make much sense.

well looks like you have two choices before you: let her go hang out in Poland for a while or go with her. have you ever been to Poland on an extended stay? Tell her that if you can get a job here you will consider hanging out with her for a while. You may love it and decide to stay. Or you may both finally decide that it is for the dogs and escape back to the USA....stranger things have happened, my friend.
Anyone have any ideas?

the paraphrasing (gleaned from a newspaper) was a suggestion that the OP, although a bit of exagerational nature, was correct in his polemic that Poland is an land where the peasant toils mercilessly while his puppetmaster profits shamelessly from his crushing labour as he whips his sweaty back, much like in the lesser developed and socially astute lands. This is according to the Hay Group report and also socialist dogmatics of class struggel.
this doesn't mean we are a third world country and definitely does not reply to the question if you were to compare PL and Ethiopia, would you find it similar. If you would, than I reckon that this is because you've never been to a 3rd world country.
