You're best to stay home and plot our downfall which you dream of in your beds at night. We know this.. we know you come for us eventually. We aren't Europe's enemy, we've just been invented as your enemy. If you must go.. you must go. The sun will probably rise tomorrow. The US owes Europe nothing.. nothing at all.


Keep taking the tablets...As for the US owes Europe nothing - its all tit for tat mate, you want to build bases in Europe you have to give a little, you want the backing of Europe when you want to invade a country..you have to give a little..you want business in europe..you have to give a little......all one big happy family..

Shell is often right on the point. This is the global economy where one country will no longer bullly the others. watch Japan in the next 5 years . You will see a big increase in the value of their work ethic as China continues to make more and more junk. Remember how they started the auto industry, It is happening again. Poland need to jump on this idea and start mass producing a cheap fuel efficient car of very high quality. Successful companies wiil draw successful talent from the US as Japan did.

Poland does not have the same work ethic and high quality control as Japan so this won't be practical.

Unless you offer people A LOT of money you will have trouble getting workers to come here en masse. Poland just not offer as high a quality of life as some other countries.

I dont think people OR cultures can change that dramatically. At least not quickly.

Hell there is no way I would want to live the lifestyle of a Japanese worker. I'd have a stroke.

i'll drink to that!! anytime...
it's about time that Poland changes its "work ethics".....a lot of great people there, if they are all as ambitious, intelligent and clever as they present themselves to be on web-forums, i don't see why the heck that country should have as many problems as they do...what's wrong with that picture??

As much as I hate immigration, until the borders close completely to non-eu countries I welcome the Polish with open arms. Give me 100 Poles to 1 Asian anyday.

A racist? Not really. It comes to a clash of cultures. Multiculturalism does not work.

I should have been a bit more specific. What I meant to say was South/South West Asia ie Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran etc.

It's those taxes. 1/3 of what you make goes for taxes, and


In South Africa the income tax rate is 40%. There is VAT of 14% on virtually everything,
there is also property tax way above the $4000 you quote, plus surcharge on petrol,
tight customs rules, tax on TV, tax on booze, cigarettes etc. Oh yeah, you need
medical insurance too, for one person that amounts to $300 per month easily.

1/3 in tax is a bonus to me.

As for Japan, the glory days are over. I constanly hear complaints from friends
about the standards declining, more people not going to university, and so
on. They have serious issues with low birth rates over there, a system of
social security which is falling apart and an ageing population, hence the
investment in robotics.

It must be one of those funny differences between British English and American English. Here in the U.S. when we say "Asians" we mean Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese etc. I understand that in the UK Asian means Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi. Am I right?

i hate to say it, but i don't think it has anything to do with "funny differences between Brit and Amer. English"...lol....it might, though, have something to do with lack of geography knowledge...i know a lot of people in us have no idea about the continental divisions...(what country belongs to what continent).....

I get a bit tired of non Americans always going on as if they are perfect and their S@#T does not stink. The idea that if they ran the world everything would be great. Being non-American, wearing a shemagh as a scarf, being in uni and drinking expensive coffee in a cafe does not make you enlightened.

When I left the US for the long term I was critical of many US policies and attitudes...but after having been all over the world and spent years living in many different cultures I have changed my opinions.

Poland may seem like a fantasy land for people who who have never been, left as children, or are sick of being poor in the US because they cant get a good job....but with the exception of maybe having family around them in Poland there is nothing that is going to be better than in the States. But then it is cooler to bash America now isn't it ;)

I have strong felling that some Americans have some problems. Why you started to underline your strengt and power and that you are nr1 ;) Few years ago there wasn't discussions like that. We believe you are still number one.
lets move forward Poland isn't USA. Poland has some achievements and every year looks more and more impresive. That is all.

Some Poles in USA noticed this fact and decided to move to Poland ...

It is forum about Poland and Polish history traditions not about "Why USA is better than Poland" "Why Poland will never be better than USA"

Maybe we are naive but we believe in our succes ;-)

btw you have so many enemies that you shouldn't show your weakness on your allies forum ....

I am not showing any weakness regardless of how you interpret my words....I am simply stating how I feel about the situation..and it is not about being "Number 1" it is about reality. If Poland was the world's richest and most powerful nation stating that would not make Poles weak or arrogant....it would just be a fact. I feel fortunate that I was born in a country that people want to live in so badly they immigrate there legally and illegally in huge numbers.

GDP, GDP, GDP.. all I ever hear from your fecal infested mouth is GDP, or "Why is America so much richer than Poland?"
Just please, go take a long walk off a short pier, and hopefully you don't know how to swim.
