Life / Number of church attendees in Poland [54]

That claim is completely unsubstantiated.

Really? Then you haven't kept up with the scandals in Ursynow megaparish...

Life / Number of church attendees in Poland [54]

Catholic church attendance in Poland on a given Sunday has fallen from 57% to 39%, i.e. by 18 percentage points; that means attendance has fallen by 32%.

Worth remembering that this is the national figure - in larger cities fewer people practise religion regularly.

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

yes, there are successful `pride` parades in Warsaw.

Very successful, plus a thriving commercial scene.

Must be that some foreign facto

Don't be daft.

but why not send them emissaries `door to door` system

Why?

but why not change their tradition. Why Mormons more deserve peace then Poles?

What tradition? It wasn't invented yesterday, you know...

Genealogy / Red Hair - recessive gene from Poland? [108]

Slavs have light hair by nature

Some certainly do, however the Slavic world covers a wide area and some Slavs are dark, Some are redheads (and that may show Ashkenazi, Celtic or Viking blood.

Jews and others brought the dark (including red) hair to Poland.

I think that's an important part of the story, Nicki, but only part of the story.

some Mormon village

Can you imagine much that is interesting and enjoyable in 'some Mormon village', Crowie?

Can anybody imagine LGBT parade in some Mormon village in USA`s Utah?

Have any been held there? No, there's no appetite for one, nor is there a tradition of large parades of any sort. In Warsaw however there is very much a demand as well as a tradition of outdoor parties and celebrations, hence the successful parades

And the Warsaw authorities both recognise that and support it.

News / Have PO (Platforma) operatives in Poland fallen into a panic? [332]

So Kijowski and his fellow foot-loose and fancy-free daddies

Really?

PiS and its friends are trying to build a false narrative about me, that I am a bad man, who doesn't pay his alimony; he said. But I paid, even had to borrow from parents and friends to pay.

This is all they have so far dug up on me. They won't find anything else.

Though you certainly tried, didn't you - what was it you were trying to accuse him of?

News / The only three normal cities with any respect for humanity in Poland [99]

we are talking about thousands here

And many more will come to Europe over the next few years. The question is whether we make the best of it or not.

Poland isn't the most attractive place for people who depend on benefits and the jobs market will get hugely worse if TTIP goes ahead however still people - and resourceful people - will come.

Don't be silly, Wulky, Germany has so far been the most hospitable country and one that Poland and Hungary could and should emulate.

And it looks like three cities have so far declared their intention to.

So Wulky, tell us this, what do you think JPII would have said about this?
