History / Life in communism vs democracy in Poland [234]

Yeah...the "to many lawyers and accountants"-syndrome! :(

Right, a true product the idiot 80's mentality. Hopefully.. we can soon replace that with "scientists and teachers" syndrome. With green energy all the rage there is actually a market for these jobs more and more.

Things are getting better not really worse, imo.

and who needs a pile of glass and paper to recycle?

Who needs another landfill?

But who needs millions of lawyers and accountants??? ;)

Lying and cheating, falsifying earnings reports, creating more credit crises? Nobody needs them.

History / Life in communism vs democracy in Poland [234]

but who is going to figure out your taxes in the IRS corn maze or get your a** out of trouble when you need it?

The stupid business class created this corn maze. Like children you have to be watched hence things like Sarbannes - Oxley.. hence a damn Pay Czar to keep you from ripping off shareholders. You are pathetic most times.. needing protection from your own kind. :-(

Stop yearning for a muzzle of the good ol' communist regime.

I'm not yearning for 'good ol' communist anything'.. but I am learning for the business class to be exposed for what they are, which is typically pathetically greedy.

Look at what your babyboomer generation has done to one of the greatest economic machines ever conceived. .. and still you don't get it do you? Only: Profit, profit, profit, money, money, money. Now my poor generation has to clean up and pay for your idiocy.

and in Germany at least green-tech becomes more and more an important economical factor which makes for more and more employment)

Yep.. they're bringing those jobs to the US Midwest I just read. German and Italian firms.

Babyboomers, yours obsession :)

Well, not really.. You study economics , right? You want to tell me the US is not in serious decline? It is.. mostly because of these idiotic decisions made by these babyboomers. I'm sorry but it is true. They have been in power for sometime now. Not only do the decisions effect us but also Europe.. I dont know why you should be so kind to them. ??

How about establishment? Those who in fact created such trend wont face any consequences! So, here we have real problem. Here you should transfer you anger.

Now we know who you talk about here.. Babyboomers are in control and let the "establishment" do these things. What can I say, things turn slowly in a big country.

USA, Canada / Polish people in Alaska [41]

I am looking for some info from very kind person who can tell me about living conditions, jobs, renting home/apt, etc...Anything that is needed to know to start living in Alaska.

Whenever you need to know about cities /states in the US you can go to City-Data.com to get that kind of info. Like how to get a job or how much is electricity.. whatever you want.

Just type a question and somebody will answer usually with 24 - 48 hours.

Language / Which is the BEST, EASIEST to learn & most helpful"POLISH FOR FOREIGNERS"course? [32]

For learning basic phrases and words I really like BYKI software. They give you free lists but you can purchase a very large list for about $50 with disk for $60. However, I found a Spanish version in a used book store for $10. Amazon might have some used software for really cheap.

Anyway, BYKI software doesn't give the grammar basics but it does let you hear Old / Young.. Female / Male speakers and even take multiple choice tests. Very good for the money and probably the best for beginners who just want to get an intro feel for the language.

I would NOT pay $100s of dollars for Pimleur etc. Here again try Amazon.com for some used cds.

I've seen, if you know the overall price levels in California and New York (pretty expensive) - add 20-35% and you'll come pretty close to Alaska rates.

True.. but land is probably cheaper in Alaska??

News / Should Poland Remove Visa Restrictions? [285]

You have to admit Europe as a continent has pretty much everything, and the best of many things.

Yes, Europe is amazing on a lot of levels.. just very expensive is all and kind of crowded. Everybody should visit it at least once.

Land might be cheaper there than let's say in California but again, I know very little about it...

Any land is cheaper than Californian. A lot of people in the lower 48 are talking about moving to Alaska to pan for gold just like in the old days.. what with prices for gold right now.

Food / Is carp indigenous to Israel? [39]

Hec No!

C'mon man, you know you've hooked many a carp out of the Chicago River or something. Put that dough ball on there. Poles might cook them up good but I couldn't eat it , no way.. it's in the whole "sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie" realm.

BTW, Asian carp

The dreaded Asian carp! Hillbillies in Arkansas brought them in to eat algae or something and the fish swam up the Mississippi and now might ruin the Great Lakes fishing industry? I don't see how though, carp aren't really predators.

Arkansas should have to pay for it.. Clowns, all they had to do was contact DNR before they stocked this aquatic pig in their ponds.

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]

I guess a lot of Americans do know and this is the point, they celebrate it as a national festival with collective amnesia.

The "genocide" that you constantly chirp about was initiated by the British and Spanish.. not the American. Perhaps you suffer from said amnesia yourself. It was the British that literally brought slavery to North America as well. Made the southern planter use them to grow tobacco and cotton. All done for your glorious crown.. just like all the other atrocities that your people commited over the centuries. You may to want to grab a mirror before you wag your limey finger at others.

Be advised, my passport's green

then you still have amnesia given the kindnesss my country has always shown yours.. Potato famine?? The hordes of stinking uneducated immigrants we accepted from Ireland.

POS hypocrite you are. Typical European. And the Irish are hardly without sin, slick. Never have been. Irish benefitted for centuries on the blood of the English empire, via jobs,investments, whatever..

I'd like to bash your idiotic scull in personally.
