News / Lech Kaczyński statue in Warsaw? [66]

Pro-Polish like in the idea that each country has her interests. Governments are there to be protector and guardian of country interests.

I don't see how they can be carefully considered seeing as you choose to block nearly all sources of information,

Well, the interned is still a good source of information, knowledge of languages helps too:)

You can listen to the media and deploy your inbuilt crap detactor at the same time can't you?

Not if almost all media, play the same tune all day around, week after week, its called propaganda and brainwashing. Some call it- a physiological war. Why would government wage a war against opposition, even assuming that the opposition is no good??

That seems to be a bit of a problem, because that means that you are not a very well informed individual, who seems to base his political instincts on a hunch,

I would say that my political choices are based more on careful consideration rather, than on sensational and biased media newsflashes.
My political choices are not a blind follower or a clannish frenzy, which seems to be unfortunately a brand mark of politicly active part of the Polish society.

I have criteria by which I determine which party or organization have a pro-Polish agenda. If you may, I have predetermined set of things I expect from a political party to implement, which I consider being a Poland's best interest.

So in all seriousness, which particular PIS polices appeal to you so much?

Attempt to make Poland an independent or at last less dependent political entity, for example: Going against Franco-German axis project's of the Baltic pipeline to Russia. This project is a such hostile act against Poland and all Baltic states that is clear sign for me that any government of Poland being silent about that, is simply not Polish government but government for Poles.

Even Sweden recognizes import of said pipeline as a potentially dangerous for her security.

Your conclusion would be wrong, it is PO who wants to implement faster reforms and is impatient for faster change. PIS on the the other hand is determined to preserve the present situation, as evidenced by the late president's determination to block every PO reform. And the recently announced PIS policy of slowing and in some cases blocking privatization.

Excuse me>? what reforms?In-debt Poland by a next billion dollars ?Maybe you mean sell-out what's still belongs to Polish state? Maybe another ten of thousand new bureaucrats employed by Po? I don't call that a reform but bollocks!

See, your media watch didn't do you good, you are repeating slogans and excuses, not the real reason, PO big changes its baloney.

Is it really such a bad think to behave in a mature way and desire better relations with your neighbors in your eyes?

What don't you bend backwoods when your neighbour from nearby prison will implore you to be a good and mature neighbour and if you desire good relations with them - you have to do what they say!

So my question to you is, where are the talented PIS people to implement their policies and govern the county competently?

Hey ! I'm not PiS and I don't even like that party that much - I vote on them because I have no choice, other party's are worse.

Can they find a finance minister who is fluent in 4 different languages, has experience of working in other countries and has two doctorates to his name, one of which happens to be in economics from the London School of Economics?

Good qualification for a secretary for a finance minister, does he have anything to say in those four languages which cannot say in one?

Can they find a Foreign minister, who has strong connections to the States and the UK, whose wife bats on his behalf in the American papers and has close connections to the US government?

Does he ? Where are his allies or protectors ? What good they did for Poland ? Did they buy old planes from Poland for 4 billions dollars ?eh? Was a other way around ?So, which side he is on?

A minister who happens to have a very interesting life, as you can find out, if you bother to read one of his books.

His self-promoting book about his exploration of Afghanistan in 80s, he forgotten to mention his work for certain intelligence agency.

Finally do you feel comfortable supporting a party that is beholden to the whims and decisions of one man, who sacks anybody who happens to disagree with him?

Better than a man who cannot sack nobody because is only a puppet on the strings! :)

Watch TVN, POLSAT,

I read Gazeta Wyborca+Rzeczpospolita

Great, so you will learn that PiS is bad, when there is rain and hail, sure like hell you can blame PiS for that!

I don't watch TV and seldom read newspapers, my perception of both party's is based on my previous experiences and analyses. I have also noticed that mass media clouded for a time being even my judgement, what to say about lesser minds.:)

My conclusion PiS is a party who want to do change and PO is a party who is happy with the present situation in Poland. Also, they are bending backwoods to accommodate German-French duo, and it mean to accommodate Russia as well, even if the price are Poland interests!

Sure they will have a good press, they are obedient servants, but tell me, who is paying for all that ?

USA, Canada / Polish Americans on TV [14]

The list is long.

Well, I have noticed that some on the list are Jews whose ancestor's come from Poland. Do they count themselves as Poles?
Maybe they are dumped on a list to make the list longer?WTF?

News / What must be done to improve politics in Poland? [72]

But since they were removed from office they weren't able to do much damage.

In my understanding PiS is the party which attempt to change a situation in Poland, while PO is there only for personal gain.
So your appeal for fighting corruption is exactly what PiS tried to do!
However I will vote for anybody who would guarantee implementation of taxation into the people hands, reform !

Do you want more examples?

Well, only the last point has a merit. The rest is just general rumbling on a tune - what a bad apple that PiS is !

I would like to ask you where from you do you gather your information?

News / What must be done to improve politics in Poland? [72]

Yes,but there lies the problem,would you really want "the people" making decisions that effect your countries future?

I think about people voting locally and openly.
I think that we all know what is a future politicians wants and I would take a chance with the people rather, than be a puppet on the string!

verything that they do is motivated by pure self interest, they have no love of country.

Any examples ?

You do realize that that is how the Commonwealth partly fell apart?

The idea was a right one, only implementing had its flows, namely executive officer who couldn't understand the system amd wanted monarchy modelled on French or Spanish examples!

It will be a fine testament to a man whose physical stature

Do you have complexes h1c ?Are you short ass? What his physicality has to do with anything ?
If anything you have to give the guy his due, he overcome being dwarfish, having ugly gob and slurred speech, and become successful in politics - where unfortunately nowadays politicians are sold by the dozen on TV - smooth talking, good looking intellectual blobs and moral zeros !

You think size - think Napoleon :)

Not a bad idea.

No taxes without citizens vote (referendum if you may)!

News / What must be done to improve politics in Poland? [72]

i see tusk as a german and much like poland is/was the bread basket, that politically speaking the handle of the basket is anchored to germany and russia, haha sorry for that, am i wrong or is it obvious, either way the implications are dire

yeah, more or less....

im not trying to steal a thread, this is my opinion that poland is threatend politicaly (and surviving as a country) by russia and germany or EU lets say partnering and giving poland the squeeze for lack of a better term.

just about, they are able to do it thanks to the enemy within !

I think that realisticly speaking, population can regain control of the politics by controlling monies, i.e. taxes !

If PO votes in favour of this, I will truly consider voting Palikot next time!

How about changes which would enable citizens to have a say in a tax matters !

Father Director

What it is to you? you loony loon?

My answer is "no, we shouldn't". If Marta wants to, she can pay for it herself.

Well, if parliament will vote in favour then you will have to pay for that !

I strongly object to spending the taxpayers' money on a statue for him!

How about spending taxpayers money to support parties? Or sending soldiers to Afghanistan and all?
Wasting all taxes on different dummy projects and to pay growing number of bureaucrats ?
You are not bothered at all by that ?

I think that there should be control of citizen over taxation process. I mean that every tax should be temporary.
The people should vote directly - about all issues connected with taxation and taxes !
Only then state can be controlled by the people!
What do you think about that - discus !

No ideas ?

But some projects exist.

That is simply revolting, flat and cheap! Well, except last one which is kind of funny.
I'm surprised why people in their political choices prefer those who are into politics to make some monies over those who want to do something?

Then I remember - television, mock democracy and lack of the elite !

best for Poland.

would be to behead you!

I don't think that in nowadays, there should be build statues for politicians! Even dead ones, sure after some time passes and there is general consensus to do so, maybe then, but forcing down the people throats heroic images to score a point is silly and low.

Well, maybe there is group of people who genuinely believe that JK deserves statue, but they should be more mature, sensitive and classy.
I think that the President's daughter should be more restrain, but I think that she was motiveted by a pressure applied by her new boyfriend/husband, which is simply striving to get himself position in Poland's politics!

History / If Poland didn't exist, how did citizens become Polish? [57]

They either did take the new citizenship or they had to leave the new Poland.

Good, do they deserved better ?

Contrary to the polish big scale ethnical cleansing the number of Poles in Prussia actually grew during the partitions.

Yeah? Ethnic cleansing my ass, when and where ? Anything that was done to a German by a Pole, could be confront by a deeds done by a German to Pole!

So, shut your bloody propaganda war !

Yeah! I agree she should get over it that sheep shagging Arab-lover!

I was thinking to look for a job in Dubai

What qualification do you have?If none, there is only one job you could do in Dubai, but I would like you to reconsider!

Study / The worst of Polish education. No wonder Polish universities are bottom of the list. [142]

Consequently the laws will be changed so that students who are caught cheating, will be expelled and won't be admitted to any university or high school, so in effect one would have thrown away one's own future.

I support above statement.

However I noticed that is European tendency, on all levels standard of schools are going to the dogs!
