Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


Oh , really , how much did you pay for 6 years of education ? A monthly salary of an average Pole was 20 $ at that time . So , it cost your parents peanuts to educate you in Poland .

Your comments were full of such a trauma you have gone through while living in Poland that you don`t have to explain yourself now . I understood clearly your hidden disgust and disrespect of my country .

I am relaxed , no worries .

BTW I am proud to be Polish and I love my country no matter what you think and whenever I come back here from vacations spent abroad ( sometimes , I spend my vacations in Poland too - with pleasure ) I appreciate mu country even more .

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


You are 100 % right . . The guy received his degree for free in "commie " Poland and does not appreciate that , although he built his life on that base .



It is so sad , because you seem to be Polish by birth . If you don`t like Poland why are you keep coming ? To get some masochistic experiences ?

Rybnik - you have posted some pictures and comments about Poland lately and I have read some of them .

My opinion is such : there were better and worse times in Poland`s history but I bet most of the Polish citizens didn`t view Poland in such a sad way as you did in your comments about Poland in the 80-ies .

Some American cities like Bay City or Ditroit and its citizens didnt look much better or had much better lives than Poles in that era . The ghetto style life is widespread in USA among many Americans not always everything looks so perfect in your country too.

Life / Automobiles vs. Pedestrians in Poland [77]


I am waiting for your explanation, what you meant by „less organized„?


Oh dear , you may reject my statement at any time and then, you know , you may appeal LOL .

I will use a phrase "we Poles” whenever I feel I should use it and you will not change my mind by giving some mumbling about the concept of the state . Go on ,actually it is hilarious to read your opinion about jurisprudence in the aspect of theory of the state. Go on, feel free.

This subject needs more explanation , as I see that some posters have no idea about the subject and draw wrong conclusions .

It is very naive to cite a police statement about the causes of road accidents in Poland , because the police ( as you all know ) is financed from a budget ; the same financing takes place in the case of roads ( maintenance and construction ), so they ( the police ) have to obey certain policies and shed all the blame on drivers , but he truth is quite different and reveals the weakness of the state in this matter .

Poland has got the sixth largest road network system in EU , but the ratio of highways included in this system is very low , which means most of the traffic takes place on one lane roads in the same direction . That makes the most dangerous maneuver of overtaking even more dangerous as the driver has to move its car on the other side of the road with opposite traffic movement. This situation is the most dangerous and brings the most deadly consequences if this maneuver was taken wrongly.

Unless we have in Poland a vast highway system the problem of fatal accidents on Polish roads will be bigger and bigger. It is not a problem of Polish drivers but a problem to be solved by the state .

But blaming just drivers is very naïve and is only a proof of ignorance on this topic

Thanks to the very high skills of Polish drivers we have so little accidents on Polish roads.
The lasts stats conducted in 2009 show that we had only slightly over 56 000 road accidents , while Germany had 397 671 accidents . Don`t forget that their traffic is located mainly on safe highways while our on dangerous one lane roads .

My answer is whatever suits you the best . They are not my figures BTW .

Those who understand the numbers can have their opinion .

Polish drivers are very good drives in overall overview ,but sometimes we drive too daringly.

Some drivers drive after drinking which is too common and deplarable . But also pedestrians don`t obey the rules in quite few cases .

Life / Automobiles vs. Pedestrians in Poland [77]

Also a major factor in road fatal accidents plays road density, ( Poland has got rather high indicator of km of roads per square km which makes the ranking less favorable in fatal accidents ,the simple calculation : more roads more possible accidents , but also longer way to hospital . This is important for Poland as Polands roads are mostly not highways so the time to reach a hospital is longer . Sometimes the distance form a certain accident place can be more than 100 km from a hospital . So the emergency crew has to make double this road to bring an injured person to the hospital and that time may be not enough to save someone`s life . An ambulances in Poland have to travel mostly on local roads not highways like it is in Germany so it makes a big difference .

data.worldbank.org/indicator/IS.ROD.DNST.K2

The indicator of read density for :
Poland is 123
for Germany 180
France 173
Norway - 29
Sweden - 128
USA - 68
Austria - 132
Greece - 88

Giving only death fatalities data doesn`t show the overall view, because it shows only that rescue forces can`t come in time to save lifes of those injured thanks to poverty and other factors which you can`t blame drivers for . Only data showing number of accidents is valuable if it comes to road safety . In Germany there are less fatal accidents for sure per capita , but it doesn`t depend on the skills of drivers or great caution of pedestrians . The density and the equipement of hospitals matters more in such cases .

What is it? A profit sharing corp?

My data comes form this : unece.org/about-unece.html
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) was set up in 1947 by ECOSOC. It is one of five regional commissions of the United Nations.

UNECE's major aim is to promote pan-European economic integration. To do so, it brings together 56 countries located in the European Union, non-EU Western and Eastern Europe, South-East Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and North America. All these countries dialogue and cooperate under the aegis of UNECE on economic and sectoral issues. . However, all interested United Nations member States may participate in the work of UNECE. Over 70 international professional organizations and other non-governmental organizations take part in UNECE activities.

Whose source is more reliable ?

Taking your reasoning into account , does Poland have the same income per capita as the United Kingdom or Germany. No.

So, your reasoning does not allow us at all to compare Poland against Germany and the UK, because it is not possible. In Poland this net income per capita is 4 times smaller than in those countries.

So you have to divide the number of cars per capita by 4 , then you will get a reasonable data to compare .

But this index of accidents is statistically positive for Poland . Considering that the incidents relate to drivers and pedestrians, therefore the number of cars is not only one important factor , because in these cases also pedestrians attended. This indicator for Germany is four times worse than for Poland .

I dont know why those above links don`t work , there are other links from that webpage , you can easily find proper data :
w3.unece.org/pxweb/database/STAT/40-TRTRANS/01-TRACCIDENTS/?lis ttype=detail&sortBy=filename&sort_order=asc

w3.unece.org/pxweb/dialog/varval.asp?ma=01_TRAccprofile_r&path= ../database/STAT/40-TRTRANS/01-TRACCIDENTS/&lang=1&ti=Number+of+i njury +accidents%2C+killed+and+injured

First click the space of -"number of injured in road accidents ", then chose a country and the latest year which is 2009 , it is easy to find out .


You don`t have to , I know you are too stupid to comprehend .

Life / Automobiles vs. Pedestrians in Poland [77]

Nothing is so frustrating as taking common views from nowhere ( in Polish z "du*y ) like


But maybe some of you just go first through statistics which say something different .

First note that nb of persons injured in compared countries is as follows :

w3.unece.org/pxweb/dialog/Saveshow.asp?lang=1
w3.unece.org/pxweb/dialog/Saveshow.asp?lang=1
w3.unece.org/pxweb/dialog/Saveshow.asp?lang=1

then you calculate that data per capita where population is as follows : Poland -38 min , Germany 82 mln , UK 60 mln, France 63 )

Then you calculate the ratio per 1000 people and you have a stats :

number of persons injured in road accidents per 1000 people is in compared countries :

Poland - 1.47
France - 1.44
UK -3.82
Germany - 4.84

So , Poland is not as dangerous as Germany or UK , it is as safe as France .

So , don`t make comments like this - " Poland is s**t ,uncivilized, undeveloped , etc. because we know it is or it should be , because we know better ".

I admit that English should be more commonly used in Poland , in some areas it is hard to communicate with Polish people , older people don`t speak English at all . In general the foreign language abilities should be imroved to attract more tourists .


Yes , I enjoy that job , very engaging . Most of the time I have to colour in things , lol .

what do you mean ? Are you expecting Polish to speak like native speakers and MD having English menu . Seems like you are dreaming .

Travel / What can Poland do to attract more tourists? Llamas farm? [71]

If someone doesn`t want to visit such places there is no pressure . But for some people it is worth to go there .

But I think Poland needs more advertising in CNN , British and USA media showing nice and interesting places .

For example - Poland can attract older tourists, who can be invited to numerous polish spas ( Poland is very popular in this section of tourism in Germany ) or make more popular some regions like Mazury, which is really excellent for tourists who like nature and is praised especially by those who like yachting or boating .

You probably dont understand a term " racist"

"Racism" and "racial discrimination" are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis.

Having read this you may know that spreading derogatory comment about another ethnic group is racist . If you dont know what ethnic group is just read more about the subject or read this :

An ethnic group (or ethnicity) is a group of people whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage, often consisting of a common language, a common culture (often including a shared religion) and/or an ideology that stresses common ancestry or endogamy.[1][2][3] Another definition is "...a highly biologically self-perpetuating group sharing an interest in a homeland connected with a specific geographical area, a common language and traditions, including food preferences, and a common religious faith".[4]

Members of an ethnic group are conscious of belonging to an ethnic group; moreover ethnic identity is further marked by the recognition from others of a group's distinctiveness.

Those ethnic groups formed nations long time ago, you know , and we call them Poles , Germans and others .
