Well, some doctors can be really greedy bastards. But are they all like that? I don`t believe it. Just like teachers - there are decent and corrupt ones.
What PiS tried to do was to put them all into one category of thieves, frauds and bribe takers. That was really harmful, as I told you that 300 patients paid for that mania with their lives.
The Polish saying goes: pour out the bath water with the baby inside.
Ok, hasty mistake, never mind.

Don`t you know the case of Jan Podgórski, a famous neurosurgeon, who was witch hunted by PiS gendarmes during the secret operation White Uniforms directed against physicians??
Don`t you know that PiS henchmen did their best to destroy the career of that innocent man because they needed a spectacular success to boast of in the media? They accused him of 17 cases of bribery, fraud and false medical statements, but everything turned out complete rubbish in court and the professor was acquitted.
Read about it:
I know it, and you do too. But can you explain it to PiS maniacs?
Do you know that the witch hunt which PiS organised in hospitals cost about 300 people their lives? People who weren`t operated because their doctors were in detention.

Kaczyski claims that PiS internal polls (already 3) prove that they are ahead of PO.
Even if it is true, which I seriously doubt as naive propaganda of success, I must say: PiS government wouldn`t have done better in economy than PO government in the years 2007-2011. Of course, we can always say that they could do more. But that would be infair, knowing the global situation.
One great advantage of PO rule: no witch hunts, no special services employed to track down innocent people, no repressions for those who oppose PiS and their manic leader.

The Polish Army has always been top in the trust polls. After 1981 there was an obvious drop in support but it soon went up again.
Currently, the trust in our army puts it on the second position, right after Christmas Charity Action.
Funny, in the Czech Republic the army ratings are always at the bottom. :):):):)
It probably means that Poles are warlike people, while Czechs amiable. :):):)
He saw how inhumane the stalinist system could be and realised that the only way of survival and then career was servility.

I still claim that Wałęsa tried to agree with his adversary while they are still both available in this world.
=hague1cmaeron]Well I suppose it is not, and well done to him for doing so. However a true Christian gesture would be to reconcile with him and not tell anyone about it.

Shyt, man, you really impress me with your intelligence. :):):):) That is what I wanted to ask - why so tall stumps were left?
I also thought of their function of preventing the logging company`s trucks from falling downslope. But why did they cut the trees down at all?
You certainly scored a point here.
How often do I see these butterflies in Poland?
-gumishu - why the stumps have been left so high is probably to allow off-road cars to be able to pull themselves out if they somehow manage to slide down the slope

Whatever you say about her, one thing is sure - she looks, speaks, sounds and behaves like an arrogant bytch. PiS is "lucky" to have more of them in their ranks. Is Kaczyński able to attract only such monsters, instead of real women? :):):):):)
There are a few young PiS pretties lately, though, but they are temporary decorations and will be dumped after elections.
I wonder how much my abhorrence of PiS as a political party is of physical nature. Probably the way most of them look and speak plays a great role for me, because whenever I see and hear them, I get sick.
Obama catches flies with his own hand but Tusk is more elegant - he uses a paper and the nproudly announces - I saved your cheese.
What does the Prime Minister between successive meetings with voters ? The platform has released video from inside Tuskobusa where Donald Tusk newspaper hunting for flies.
Tuskobus rides and "on foot " takes
" Rideshare" PO staff had not informed exactly when the Prime Minister arranged the hunt, but the context of the conversation can be concluded that the action takes place between the meeting with the producers of cheese in Korycinie , and meeting with publicans in the Forge in Podlasie .

Germany - only 357 114,22 km².
In Poland, everything is possible too. Even more than in Germany.
I am not as wealthy as a German but I feel wealthy enough here. I have a big car, a big apartment (even two), gas, electricity, central heating, flushed toilet, fridge and cooker, two computers, two cats, a snake, 20 mice, a wife, 3 kids, rewarding job, etc etc etc.
I feel perfectly safe too. The last time I had my car broken into was in 1998. The last time I had to fight in the street was in 1997. The last time I was pickpocketed was in the USA in 1991.

Today, former President Lech Walesa, paid a visit to Wojciech Jaruzelski who has been staying at a hospital for a few days and wished him good health (życzyć komuś zdrowia).
In the past it was Jaruzelski who put Wałęsa in a detention center during the communist martial law coup d`etat in 1981. Afterwards, Jaruzelski`s junta tried to do their best to make Wałęsa sorry for his anticommunist stance.
Quite noble of Wałęsa. Or not? After all, he is a devout Catholic.
But inspiring for other politicians.

Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
