News / Stronger Russia, safer Poland, in world that globalize - is this be truth? [53]

Russia has a gigantic border with relatively under-developed infrastructure. Need a strong centralized government

But it's also cultural. IMO it's possible to be Capitalistic and also Homogenous but you are at a dis-advantage. Consider all the creative and driven homosexuals or feminists that relocate to the West. Russia does not really replace them with immigrants.

Life / Do Polish people like Turkish people? [66]

IMO Poland is somewhere in the middle for treatment of "non-Europeans". You won't be idolized like in Sweden but you won't be brawling like in the Balkans.

Poles respect and in many ways align with Turkish Conservative society [yes I know Turkey is considered secular in the ME]. Polish & Turkish men also share similarities, which IMO are the differences between us and Germans for example.

Beyond the random Bar fight late at night in a tough area on a special night, the worst treatment you will receive is people ignoring you. Hahah.

I think he would find it difficult to socialize by not either drinking alcohol OR eating pork. "I do neither" is going to rub people the wrong way. But that's just me.

USA, Canada / Should I move to Poland? (dual citizen of Canada and Poland) [22]

It will be difficult without a specific trade/skill. At-least a Western degree. [There is no shortage of young, educated and hungry Poles]

Without family to fall back on in the short term, it would be quite ballsy on your part to make the jump without the before mentioned.

Life in the major cities is no different than North America. The outskirts might be what you'll encounter in the smaller Canadian provinces.

History / Poland's society at communism and socialism time [55]

No crime
Education impressive
Everyone worked

But Hope steadily faded [resulting in countless drinking themselves/health to death]. Fortunately this was before Internet & Social Media so families/neighborhoods were forced to enjoy what they had, together. Misery loves company you could say.

My parents always felt it was counter-productive to force people inside the Iron Curtain. This was before the Information Age so stories were passed on as legends. My father was a sucker for the Freedom Radio. He bought all of the propaganda. Then again, he also benefited from American work in Iraq [mid 1980's]. The money he sent back home to us, did offer us a little extra benefit. My Aunt owned a store so she was able to put food/supplies to the side for us/the family. But people vacationed and they vacationed well. Hungary was the popular spot for my family.

Communism in those times [as with Cuba recently] has a hopeless romanticism to it. You wanted to build a home/have some work done? You went around the neighborhood and recruited some guys, even bartering with them. Regulations were crooked. I found on youTUBE a 15 minute video recording [with 1 long song on repeat] with important and random shots of my hometown - in the 1970s-80s. An interesting perspective as you saw kids playing but as the camera zoomed out you saw unfinished concrete and other rubble next to their play area. A-lot of unfinished projects. I still remember that in person, so much un-fulfilled potential.

UK, Ireland / WHAT IS IT ABOUT POLISH PEOPLE THAT MAKES THEM THINK THAT UK WANTS THEM? [309]

UK is an increasingly ghetto brown nation. Poles might be the last chance England has to remaining White

You can't put a monetary value on that. Furthermore you will need us when your homegrown Muslims start blowing themselves up.

You can either add more White in the soup or drown in your melting pit

^ as you see, England needs Poles more than we need you

USA, Canada / Thoughts on moving to Poland from USA [62]

I spent some time in Wroclaw a couple years ago and coming from San Diego, I could definitely see myself settling down there. I'm actually heavily considering it now that Germany is a major question mark.

Given your issue with the Polish language, it kinda forces your hand to live in a big city. But that is probably what you'd prefer [coming from the West] anyway.

Given what you have posted, I think you would be fine. You seem experienced and wouldn't be surprised by any Polish lemons :D. At the worst you might rely on the increasing British ex pats, in the short term. There are a-lot of Spanish students in Wroclaw as well, so if you speak it......

As posted above, Poznan is a city that is often brought up. Krakow and Warsaw might be becoming too Western for your liking. It's been a while since I were in Gdansk. Someone else will have to comment on there

PS: I enjoyed reading your posts and perspective. Myself being someone planning the same move [return] to Central Europe, so I relate to a-lot of what you said. Post more!

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

Jew will talk your daughter into doing Blacked pornography, while behind closed doors instructing his son to not associate with blacks

I've always gotten along with Jews but it's wise to keep them at a slight distance

News / Turkish invasion on Polish TV - Poland's opinion on Turkey [30]

Unfortunately the Turkish doesn't have an attitude even close to that, and they even deny that they commited that atrocity.

I hope Turks never change. I'd love to have them on my side during a conflict. They are idealistic and stubborn. Sound familiar? In some ways Polish Men have more in common with the Turk than post-WW2 German.

Life / HIV/AIDS growing in Poland - more fear of pregnancy than STDs [82]

@Dolno: absolutely, more education is needed! ;). True, like you write, people can get aids without being drug addicts or homosexuals but of course too hard to undestand for all the "talibans" above.

Charlie Sheen was a victim!

Life / HIV/AIDS growing in Poland - more fear of pregnancy than STDs [82]

Hitler has been vindicated in his dislike of Jews. Do you watch Western media? It's almost entirely jew owned

Because the vast majority of people sick with HIV - is fault of their own

Why did the Soviets put us in gulags? Pretty obvious, they didn't even spare their own.

Life / HIV/AIDS growing in Poland - more fear of pregnancy than STDs [82]

Going to work for 45 hours a per week from the age of 20 right up till around 65 is not fcuking normal mate.

Hahah. Well someone needs to work buddy. I understand and have gotten burned out from certain jobs.

I lived in Southern California and I disagree with the regions decision to Go-Weed. Living among a population on daily drugs is essentially the direction USA has taken. At-least in a city like San Diego it seems to slightly curb the DUI epidemic
