Language / Old Polish Vs New Polish [29]
The quotation I provided in my previous post comes from the 15th country Polish poem - The Legend of Saint Alexander (Legenda o świętym Aleksym). It's not slang.
Slick, I'm far from either a Polish-American or a native speaker, but can only surmise that most US citizens of Polish descent.

Language / Old Polish Vs New Polish [29]
I'm not a linguist but my first guess would be vocabulary.
Obviously, there are some words and phrases in the old Polish language that we don't use in the modern language.
For instance,
Ach, Królu wieliki nasz
Coż Ci dzieją Maszyjasz,
Przydaj rozumu k mej rzeczy,
Me sierce bostwem obleczy,
Raczy mię mych grzechów pozbawić
Bych mógł o Twych świętych prawić.
Nobody uses words like "sierce", "obleczy", or "przydaj" in the modern language anymore.

Hmm...so, who else in your view is suffering from this inferiority complex?
I dont know about bubbawoo of course, but there are quite a few non-Poles on this Forum who seem to have quite severe complexes - it is most certainly not just a Polish thing.

bubbawoo fits this profile perfectly and he is not polish, is he? lol
Well, these are the signs of an inferiority complex: sensitivity to criticism, hypercritical attitude, tendency towards blaming, feelings of persecution etc.
An inferiority complex isn’t a sin – it just hampers or spoils rational, calm communication.
Who has it? Too many Poles.

I don't belive that Poles are a nation of sado-masochists.
Why would so many Poles like to live in America if they hated Americans?

Why didn't the british government take the above facts into account and decided to pay blacks that compensation?
Our war in the Sudan was to stop the slave trade being carried out by blacks against blacks,the Boar war largley came about because the british in SA disapproved of the Affrikaneers treatments of blacks etc etc..........ho hum,just keep trotting out the same old same old........

Life / Poles - the Nation of Liars? [478]
Fortune? For instance: Why do some british come to Poland to get their teeth fixed? Is it because this service is so expensive? The point is that YOU as a wealthy british subject did not/do not have to bribe anybody unless you have chosen to do so.
Of course, corruption is everywhere, but it doesn't mean you can call entire nation liars because SOME doctors are corrupt.
That's because Polish law is different than british. If you do not like the Polish law, why can't you move out of Poland and go back to Britain where everything seems perfect and you wouldn't have to suffer under the oppression of Polish law anymore.
Just because other countries don't do it, doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing it.
The whole point of your post was to prove that Poland is a corrupt country and Poles are liars. Now, you are telling me that some procedures that were clearly established to prevent manipulation and corruption are "no good" and should be abandoned because other countries don't have this kind of procedure. This makes no sense.
It just means this procedure should be changed. It does not prove your point that Poland is corrupt and Poles are liars.
If you dont bribe you dont get the service, private clincs cost a fortune

Poles do not require a permit in my country and theres millions of them.

It can take upto 8 months meanwhile you are paying an extra interest rate. the registry office is full of cues with no one really knowing what they are doing. This should be a solicitors job. Oh and theres always a problem.

Did anybody force you to give a bribe? You could have gone to a private clinic and you wouldn't have to bribe anybody there.
What is wrong with that?
Makes driving little more safer, wouldn't you agree?
Did anybody ask you to gave a bribe? If they did, you should have notified the police.
What "stamping documents procedure" you have in mind? Be more specific.
???
Perhaps to prevent any possible manipulations involving this procedure?
Hmmm, what is wrong with registering property?
Take a look at your own posts. You will find a lot of spelling mistakes.
Hardly reason to call entire nation liars.

Miranda, I feel for you but these things happen every where. WroclawBoy was trying to imply that bad things happen in Poland only. That is far fetched generalization.
Don't be so defensive.

What policies you have in mind? Be specific and stop making generalizations! Just because something doesn't make sense to you does not mean that it doesn't make sense to everybody.
Polish people are very defensive when cornered.
