well, if you call me an idiot again I will report you to the Adm. I have the right to express what I think and people like you are just small roadblocks on my way, so .............do


that was for Joe, who is not really familiar with Rydzyk. What is your point? There are other people participating in this discussion besides you;)

Rydzyk was condemned by his own Polish CC and the present Pope.LOL

News / Rydzyk gets away with racism yet again [198]


no , you are not. It would be wise to find out. It is not that difficult.


that does not seem to be the case, this is why he is very controversial in Poland and I think that he cashes in on popular anti- sentiments. This is how politically skilled he is.


I said that before. It has nothing to do with the CC in Poland, but it has a lot to do with him as a person. Nobody accuses him for nothing - he provides a lot of reasons.


that would be a discussion for another thread, don't you think?

News / Rydzyk gets away with racism yet again [198]

from Wiki:

Tadeusz Rydzyk and his independent media creations have made many critics among left-wing, liberal and centrist parties. The criticism, both from inside and outside of Poland, accuses the media run by Rydzyk of xenophobia and antisemitism. "Father Director" also opened The College of Social and Media Culture in Toruń, in which he educates future Polish journalists in the spirit of Catholic and Polish values. One of the examples of many persistent attacks on Rydzyk is an article on 9 July 2007 where Wprost magazine published part of a lecture allegedly given by Rydzyk in which he called the president's wife Maria Kaczyńska a witch who should euthanize herself. He was also to claim that the president had cheated him.[3] Rydzyk refused to apologize saying that the sound recording was "a manipulation" and a result of a "fight of spirits". The official Vatican web page states that Rydzyk's radio station "became much more involved in spreading risky politics than in spreading the Gospel."[4]

"Father Director" applied for the funds of the European Union alloted to boost Polish businesses and researchers from 2007-2013 on the grounds that his school is an "incubator for modern technology in the service of civil society."[5][6]

News / Precedent set in Szczecin for offending homosexuals? [60]


good point, so legally it might not be a precedent, but since Harry used that word, I used it too (bad me). If this is the first time somebody is fined for speaking against homosexuals, then it would be a precedent for me, whether is has a stand in Polish law, or it does not.

I am going to stress this again and maybe this time it will register with your: it was in POLAND, not in the US.

I find that a lot of people are confused about freedom of speech. I am not sure if they do it out of lack of information, or they are just plain mean.

do you know what precedent is in law?

News / Precedent set in Szczecin for offending homosexuals? [60]


you can sue people for that in the US, after all part of the US law is based on precedent.
Also, I think you are comparing the US to Poland, which is not a good way to go, because those 2 countries have different law systems and the human rights in the US has a long history, so I am not sure why would this become a trend in the US, if it has already been a part of the american law for a long time.

wise man and that applies to any kind of situation, be it at home or abroad.

Life / Why do People spend half their lives complaining about living in Poland? [55]


some people simply don't.


of course it is.


true.


yes, he was an excellent example of how not to do it. I have met some people while on vacation and they were the same. Totally closed to new experience and wanted to be like it is at home. Why leave in an first place? It is of course more complicated then that. Moving to another country can be stressful, but how one adjusts depends largely on the attitude and the ability to be flexible.

News / Rydzyk gets away with racism yet again [198]


agree.


agree


nobody knows what his intentions were. Fact. It is not that important what he was trying to say, it is the outcome he will be judged on. Many famous people lost a lot because slips like that. THat is the price some have to pay for being in the public eye.

Life / Why do People spend half their lives complaining about living in Poland? [55]


yah, but there are people who exclusively complain and don't fix anything. Another type are people who fix things, so they don't have to listen to complaining anymore. LOL. It all depends on the situation.

Going back to the subject, people who moved to Poland and complain often have poor skills of dealing in stress in general, so I am sure they would be also complaining in their native countries.

Life / Why do People spend half their lives complaining about living in Poland? [55]

people complain because this is how some deal with stress, or adjustment to new reality, but I agree, there needs to be a balance. Otherwise reading those posts is like a good sleeping pill.

I am sorry, but I am a native speaker, so you lose your case here. He is a public person and he should watch what he is saying. If I " farted" in public like he did, I would say that I was joking too. The problem is: most people would not believe me. Sorry for the comparison, but I am a very artistic type:)
