Poland is often referred to as conservative because of upholding traditons, the family, traditonal values, religious beliefs, etc. On the otehr hand, at the official level there is so much change in Poland that the result is instability.
**Our American Constitution was promulgated in the late 18th century and continues to function with only a handful of updating amendments. Poland had 4 constitutions in the 20th century (7 if we include interim Little Constitutions).
**The educational system is constantly being tampered with: originally 7 (primary) + 4 (secondary), tehn 8 +4, then Gierek's 10-year Soviet-style school, now the primary-junior secodnary and senior secondary, not counting various forms of vocational training.
**Health is perhaps the worst example. The cumbersome commie-era health service was reformed by Buzek into pre-war-style Kasy Chorych, but then the post-commies won the election, swept them away and set up a Naitonal Health Fund so they could put their own cronies into exec posts in its local branches....
**Constantly changing tax laws not only bedevil Poles but scare foreign investors away.
What do you think of these constant, mostly politically motivated changes, not on the basis of merit and rarely for the better?

I think that the best example of that is the lifespan of a political party. It seems that parties come and go with the election cycles. Parties that once controlled the government just disappear a couple years later.

Have you checked your history books? Arabs were in Spain much before South Americans and did spend an awful long time there.. Spain owes some of its best architecture to them (Alhambra in Granada, "la Mezquita" Mosque in Cordoba)

I think what the Poles and Poland have achieved in only 20 years of freedom is quite remarkable. If you add to this the 20 years between the wars during which Poland was also independant that is still only 40 years altogether over a 200 year span (since the beginning of the XiXth century). Poland has achieved much more during this short period than either the US or Europe over an equivalent period.

wishful thinking eh?


Political games are about who will screw whom,I wouldn't mind it if those in charge had Poland best interest at heart. Unfortunately in Poland these in power seems not to be interested or know what it is to build strong country.

So what is it that is needed to build a strong country? Present your ideas and then run for office, to see how many Poles agree with you..

That's a bad start..Banking and prostitution are the two oldest professions in the world.. You cannot have a strong country without them..

Prostitution is much more vital than banking.However I see a sharp decline in world economy.
The reason:Incompetent folks in key positions and the competent ones are marginalized and have absolutely no desire or motivation to help,I would tell the opposite they have great desire to misinform the stupid and destroy them.

it doesn't work like that, well I could present my views but is up for those in power to know and to implement it!
If they don't know or don't care what they are doing there in the first place - they are frauds! And I don't care for excuses that something cannot be done - you cannot, be gone looser!
Problem in Poland is that those loser's because they live off country and have some money, believe themselves cool and successful when in fact they are clueless idiots.

I agree. Every time I go shopping, the shop assistant always wants some awkward amount of change. Something costs ZL 16 and you give ZL 20, (s)he wants you to hand over ZL 21. So yes there is too much change in PL - especially those fiddly little groszy. Fah!

I guess them as much change as I can, just to get rid of the groszy.

I wish they would scrap the 1 and 2gr coins, they're worthless and abolishing them would speed up things considerably. All they have to do is adopt the model seen in some Euro countries - the final total is rounded up or down 5gr and voila. Problem solved, and much easier on everyone.

Me too, but the (albeit subtle) effect on the inflation rate means that countries hang on to very small coins for as long as they can.

I save mine and give them to charity collections.

I always try to carry a one grosze coin. They are very useful to leave as a tip for a crap waiter (if you leave no tip, they just think you're cheap; leave a single grosze and they know you think they suck). They're also good tips to give to taxi drivers who try to take you the long way round (because they figure a foreigner won't know the way) or who after you tell them to stop keep driving until the meter clicks on one more notch.

This is uncomparable.... During this time, first Poland didn't existed, then existed as a multiethnic entity, then didn't existed again, then existed as a monoethnic communist dictaturship, and since 89' Poland is democratic republic. So it is not surprising that the law was changing contantly...

**Educational reform -> splitting highschools into two separate levels. In my opinion it was a mistake and unnecessary change, but it is hard to see politics in that. Gov. really thought it would be better system and they had some merits. Other than that and huge boom in private universities there wasn't any structural changes. So I wouldn't say it is constant change.

**Health care is not changing much, there was a try with those "Kasy Chorych" but it failed, and now we are back where we were for good and for bad.

**about tax'es I have mixed feelings. They are of course to high :-) Are they complicated, I'm not sure. My friend told me, that Polish base tax act has about a few dozen pages and British base tax act has about a few hundred pages. Judging from that it seems that Polish tax law could be more complicated ;-) So maybe it is not a problem with a law itself but with arbitrary execution of that law.
