I'm returning to have a last word...I'm now thankfully back in the Uk after 6 years in WAW, I say thankfully as it must be said of WAW that it has a way to go in terms of civility, driving like a lunatic in the center of a capital city along with the other morons was occasionally fun it really wasnt healthy...the stress and anxiety was too much.
I undewrstand the poles defending there country and people but if you live there you'll soon realise poles are proud of there lack of respect for law and safety.
Law isnt as in the UK, authorities, police and the state are the enemy, this permeates throughout society down to your boss, your client, your neighbour, your friends.
The one upmanship is annoying and at times vulgar.
So desrespect to the rules of parking and damage to other peoples property are mere present symptoms of the countries past. Many dont care if you cant pass on the pavement due to there car blocking it, or that you car looks like **** due to being vandalised.
Such acts make them feel better in fact as they arent the ones suffering so logically they are better off and feel better.
Things will change im sure...in many many ways i loved my time in Waw however the gap between Slavs and Anglos is far to deep to be sumerised.

I am totally agree with that. I see it very often when I see them driving in the highway. Those people make accidents and don't have the slightest respect for other drivers.

In the building where I currently live, in the upper floors it has corridors. At the end of the corridors there are sometimes windows. Normally, some people smoke next to the window or are just there just to take fresh air. However, the windows start slighly above an average persons knee. What does that mean? that there is a high risk that someone falls down of the building, specially after having drunk some alcohol. This has already happend!!! It was only after 2 guys fall down and killed themselves that the building administration guys decided to put some tubes in those windows to avoid that to happen again. 2 deaths which could have been avoided if a little bit of common sense in safety is considered while designing those buildings.

You only need to go to any ''authority'' to get the sense of that. They look very frustrated and they want to take out their frustration with other people. They love to show they are ABOVE the others and that they are the LAW. They are not there to help you but to make you suffer. They most probably got a frustrated life during the communist time so they want to transmit that frustration to the new generation. You also see that with your ''superiors'' in a job or university. Most of the time they are very incompetent but they want to hid it by despotism and disrespectfulness

Probably it will change, but I think it takes around 20 to 30 years. After the communist generation is gone.
