Atch, I would be able to live and work in London anyway if I wanted too simply because of my skills and professional qualifications. Just like I was also offered a job in Norway which is not a member of the EU.

I picked Britain because of the weather. I know how it sounds :-D


Nope. That's just your "trollish" interpretation which has no legal binding in reality.

Anyway, why would you even apply for Polish citizenship since you had a Scottish "EU citizenship"? You don't believe in your own words yourself yet you want us to believe it? :-)

Article 20: "Citizenship of the Union shall be additional to and not replace national citizenship." That means that national citizenship does take precedence over the additional "EU citizenship".

That said, I think that the whole idea of EU "citizenship" is wrong and should be abolished once the conservative forces take the majority in the EU institutions. The whole Lisbon Treaty is a failed attempt at creating European federation and in my opinion it should be cancelled or at least deeply changed.

Not to mention that it was passed in an undemocratic manner when Ireland was forced to vote twice for it to pass.

"There would be uproar, outrage, widespread disgust at such elite disdain for the democratic process. Well, now you know how the Irish people must feel. In June this year, 53.4% of Irish voters rejected the Lisbon treaty, against 46.6% who supported it"

And that's where the funny part starts. Police has tried to intimidate them and offered a 5000PLN reward to those who'll point a person who burned a flag. And since it's not a crime to burn meaningless "EU flag" the guy who burned it asked his friend to "snitch" on him and collect the reward.

And now the police have to legally pay him that reword. The money from the reward will go towards organizing the next year's Independence March.

Yes, but since there's no such country as The EU, "EU citizen" is an empty word. Remember that, legally and practically speaking, your national citizenship ie. Polish or Hungarian always takes precedence over the virtual EU citizenship.


I tune it up with a regular dosage of BBC. No more than half an hour every few days, that would be lethal for my brain cells

Rich, there is no case, more like a cry for attention. A serious person would not search for a lawyer on a discussion forum.


Wait, so you don't want to see a justice in action but rather witness "taking advantage of the court"? Just when I started seeing a human face behind that mask of a troll...

Why, is it me that is being 'sued'? :-)


I like to correct it on every single occasion that there's no such country as the EU. And that the "EU flag" is just a logo like a McDonalds flag for example.

If people get use to thinking about the EU as a real country it will be much easier for eurocrats to make it happen legally.

Law / Lawyer familiar with EU law needed (to sue my employer in Poland) [65]


There's no such thing as "EU citizen". EU is not a country. So you can say that you are a citizen of a country which currently 'belongs' to the EU.


I'm Polish and I'm temporarily living in London. At my office we tend to make fun of each others accents and so far nobody has filed the case against their coworkers because of "racism". So stop being such a special snowflake and grow a pair.

History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]

That's true. A lots of of Polish minor nobility members like Benedykt Dybowski and Michal Jankowski were sent to Siberia after an uprising in 19th century. Due to their education they have formed a local elites.

It seems that Germany wants to emancipate from American influence. This is against Polish geopolitical interests and I believe that the government will wisely choose the Americans over a shaky Franco-German alliance.

Well I know what would not happened if Jaruzelski was assassinated in 1981. He wouldn't end up being a bedridden dirty old man who molested his caretaker. And then he wouldn't fake convert to Catholicism right before his dead. There are no atheists in foxholes.

So all in all, it's good that he survived to show everyone how miserable human being he was. If he was killed, some commies would made him a martyr, like that bloodthirsty butcher Che Guevara.

Yes, they would definitely put Jaruzel on their banners if the end of his life wasn't so comical :-)

Law / Traveling from Poland to other European countries while waiting for karta pobytu [2]


Yes, Japanese tourists can visit any given Schengen area country within their 90 days visa-free stay.

Legally* you'll have to leave Schengen zone on 15 January 2019 and within those 90 days you can travel anywhere you want.

You can also do it from Spain if you want. You don't have to travel back to Poland to legally leave the EU.

* I said legally since Germany and also Spain have now more trouble than tracing one Japanese tourist who may have extended his stay. Millions of North Africans without papers are waiting there to get their "refugee status". Poland would be more strict on keeping the date.

I didn't realize that I have such an impact on your life @Bratwurst Boy :-) I'll try not to abuse it. With great power comes great responsibility.

I'm honest in that I only care so much about Germany as much it directly affects Poland.

The mainstream media outlets does not criticize Germany: it is usually a regular people and niche media who call out this madness. Huge mass media outlets defend and support even the most dangerous [dangerous to a regular German or Swedish 'Joe', not to them] decisions such us wide open borders policy of Angela Merkel.

Are you feeling better knowing that Süddeutsche Zeitung, BBC and CNN will tap you on the shoulder saying "Good German, obedient German" for supporting the changes which are going to destroy your country in the future?


I'm still optimistic that some minds are capable of processing new information and make use of it in their process of thinking. Obviously it won't happen instantly and it will only "affect" a selected few but a sound argument which is heard more than once and from different sources may do wonders.

Ideal world doesn't exist. The idea is not something that you can achieve but rather a goal which you pursue in order to perfect yourself and the others around you. It's a driving force for our actions.


Most of what I see in Western Europe is a regress not a progress. The idea of communism has bankrupted, socialism is a dead end which spawned political correctness that slowly eats away Western societies and progressively makes them dumber, chauvinism such as Nazism - I think I don't even have to comment on that.

Capitalism, the most effective economic system, has become a dirty word.

Christianity is being pushed out from public consciousness [and public spaces].

Greek philosophy? Those pesky Greeks has made a pursue of the truth their main philosophical goal. That doesn't go well with cultural marxism which is based on a lie, so to hell with those Greeks :-)

A hostile culture has found a way to Europe and is moving in large numbers. This reminds me of Vandals pillaging Rome. The beginning of the end.

Thank God Poland has remained sane. 30 years from now I'll be sitting in my garden in Poland, sipping red wine and reading news from the world.

Not every generation has a privilege to observe the end of civilisation.

Many of those who were removed now and earlier, like Gen. Rozanski, were a beneficiaries of "The Golden Fund". They were selected by the communist elites to be a future senior officers that would uphold the regime. It was done in early 1980's during martial law in Poland.

So,that had to be done. They had to be removed. Such an officers wouldn't be trustworthy in modern Poland. A cancerous cells needs to be removed in order to heal the organism as a whole.

Yeah, right. Just like Cultural Revolution in China...

Get familiar with basic principles of natural law. The more you learn the less susceptible you are to manipulation. It would be especially useful in Bundesrepublik of Deutschland which serves neo-marxism to its citizens in large quantities. But don't get too smart cause you won't fit in :-P

They do change but it's a slow, evolutionary process that cannot be "ordered" with one document.


Tradition is like a framework on which you can fit new rules and laws when needed. But remove the framework and you're left with nothing.


Ha! :-) You don't see nothing admirable in rebelling against tyranny of the state. You call a disobedience in face of totalitarian state "juvenile". I'm not overly surprised. You've got a totalitarian mind my friend. This way of thinking has lead Germany into "trouble" in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

I guess if not for Poland the East Germany would still be a communist state to this day, heh.

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]

By "societies following imprinted moral conduct" I don't mean some neo-marxist framework of enforced fake tolerance :-)

I'm simply saying that the set of rules must be grounded in a traditional moral principles of a society. If it isn't, it simply won't last.

I think the main problem is that Germans believe in all-powerful state to which an individual have to submit. And in Poland people would rebel and disobey the state if it drifts away too far from a natural law.

More on that: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law


Interesting fact: in Poland, there's a highest ratio of women to men on SEO and CEO positions in Europe [44% to 56%]. Polish women achieved that on their own merits since there are no state-enforced affirmative actions in Poland.

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]

Yes, that's all fine. What I would like to clarify is that there are two types of societies in this regard:

Society #1: in which is ruled by the set of rules which is enforced on them by the ruling body. This set of rules may be resented by the society in the future when the political situation may suddenly change.

Society #2: in which moral principles were deeply imprinted into its collective mind for generations and then manifested itself into the codified set of rules [by default].

Which one, in your opinion, is modern Germany?

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]


The rule of law is all fine, but it needs to be based on certain principles [what is lawful/legal and what is not] and those principles are based on ethic and ideas [which behaviour is appropriate and which is not] . In Europe it is obviously based on 3 massive pillars: Greek philosophy and ethics, Roman law and Christianity. Remove one [or more] and the whole construction collapse.

The weakness of law which is not deeply rooted in ethics and morals is especially visible in times of chaos like war or revolution. When the law enforcement doesn't work as it should be some societies become barbaric while others still remain human.

Same as with kids: one kid is good only when parents are watching and the other one behaves even when there's no one around to discipline him.

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]

Yes, for Germans there should be a set of strict rules so you behave :-P

@Bratwurst Boy, I wasn't talking about Hegelian philosophy which inspired Marxism or heavily distorted Nietzschean philosophy which inspired nazism. Especially the works of Nietzsche were bastardized by dull German Nazis to the point that they didn't even resembled the original ideas.

I was talking about inspiring ideas of Aristotelian and Platonic philosophy and ethics which has guided Europe for centuries to become the brightest point on the map of this world. It was so powerful that most people don't even realize how much impact it still has on our way of thinking.

And also in a wider sense, no set of rules will help to keep order when a given society doesn't follow moral and ethical values.

Imagine living in a town full of thugs [unethical society] and fitting a reinforced doors [strict rules] to keep them away. Sooner or later they will break in, no matter how strong your locks are. The brute force will prevail.

And now imagine living in a village full of people who follow a certain moral and ethical code. You don't even have to lock your doors to feel safe...

As a side note: my grandparents do indeed live in a village in Poland in which most people don't lock the doors when they go out to church or to visit their neighbours. So this parable is based on facts :-)

History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]

That's true. Soviet State was ruled mostly by international communists with roots from all over former Russian Empire and Eastern Europe. Not many ethnic Russians were executives in Politburo and secret police

History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]


Yes, mostly. Yet, Soviet Russia has attacked Poland with Nazi Germany in September 1939. It's not a theory of mine. It's just a common known fact. The secret protocol of Ribbentrop-Molotov pact was made public in 1989 so anyone can access it. Even Vladimir Putin has condemned that pact.

So let's not build a future Polish-Russian relations on a lie but rather face the truth.

News / An EU army. Impact on Poland [155]


Poland should be neutral as long as it is possible in face of aggression but should be able to face any potential aggressor.
Being military neutral is not the same as being disarmed.
In my opinion Poland should, and will, arm itself to a level where it becomes too hard to mess with by the neighbours ie. where the cost of attacking Poland would be too high compared to any possible benefits of such move.

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]


I agree, however, the framework should be as not intrusive as possible. The ideal state would be to follow (and be ruled by) an idea and not by set of rules. If you have to make a specific set of rules for each area of life for society to function 'properly' that means that your civilisation is already dying.

Modern media and education systems have taught us to confuse meanings and definitions of simplest things.

Let's see what wikipedia has to say on this subject. And since wikipedia is far from right-leaning source to say the least there's no pro-right bias here: copy-paste=removed

That's where the devil lies. Chauvinism such as nazism and fascism is based on hating and eliminating other nations and not just loving your own. Many media outlets wants to put a " = " sign between Nationalism and Chauvenism/Nazism/Fascism which is simply not true.

Basically Patriotism puts an esteem on the love of your homeland, Nationalism on the love of your nation and Chauvinism such as Nazis and Fascism on inviding and eliminating "competing" nations.

Let's say there's a village and in that village there are three families.

The father of the first family loves his land, he cultivates it and take care of it.

In the second family father loves his bloodline [his children] the most and takes care of them.

And in the third family the head of a family, coincidentally named Adolf, hates both of his neighbors. He kills the children of his neighbours and then torch their houses and stables.

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]


Miroslaw, that's a common misconception.

Chauvenism, such as Nazism and Fascism suggests superiority.

Nationalism simply states the love of your nation and Patriotism means a love of your country.

I believe that this change was quite superficial and enforced on them after WWII.

Let's not forget about German mentality. Order them to be "tolerant" and they will seem to be the most tolerant nation on this planet. They will invite millions of illegals and pay for their stay.

But let's say the political climate suddenly change. The same people may open concentration camps for those new 'refugees' sooner than you can imagine.

Lyzko, if you like moderation Germany is not the place for you to be.

A "talking shop" which stopped the descent of illegal "refugees" on Central Europe. Can I have more "talking shops" like this one please :-)


Merkel's day of glory are long gone. She made a huge political mistake in 2015 and she is paying for it now. Her voice, and indeed a voice of Germany, is not as strong as it used to be. So I think that this new "EU army" project will remain in a sphere of eurocrat wet dreams.

Lyzko, to me Nationalism is a moderate way in this crazy modern world. Especially such a type of nationalism which is dominant in Poland and which is based on Christian Personalism.

It lies in the middle between extreme Chauvinism such as Nazism/Fascism and Neo-Marxism.
