Of course, this is only a projection suggesting that PiS or the PiS-PS (Partia Sprawiedliwości) coaltion or whatever it may be called will sweep away PO and at win least the next two elections -- 2015 and 2019. Maybe 2023 as well. People are pretty fed up with Tusk & Co. as polls for the past 2 months have consistently shown.

Only if we rule out such developments as the following, and in politics most everything is possible:

1) Gowin's breakway group set up their own party (let's call it the Polish Justice Party) which will get 12% of the votes in 2015. Added to PiS' 37% and Solidary Poland's (Ziobro) 6%) that produces a 55% coalition able to rule Poland for the next 8 years..

2) The Gowin brekaway group merge with PiS or enter PiS and Gowin becomes their new president. The new party (whatever it may be called) wins 44% of the votes and enters into a coalition with socially conservative PSL (8%).

Other parties will get 21% (PO) . SLD (15%) and Palikot (5%). PSL and SP do not cross the 5% threshold..

There are a few individualists, but most people have always had and continue to have role models. Nowadays they may be Hollywood celebs, sport or rock stars and other seasonal idols, millionaire tycoons, etc. That's the stuff the paper and online tabloids and gossip sites churn out day after day. It was enough to show a video on MTV of Madumma or some other slutty songstress walking down the street with one of thsoe silly plastic-topped, brown, paper cups of coffee, and soon that became the norm on Nowy Świat. The whole fashion idnustry gives payoffs to celebs to show up in their duds because the orders will start pouring in. Are such role models worthy of homo sapiens? You be the judge.

JP2 was once asked why he had beatified and canonised so many people. His reply: People are raised to to the altar because they led exemplary Christian lives and are an example to emulate. And in our confused and disorderly world good examples are needed more than ever before.

Before you start blasting again, ask yourself: who are today's role models for people, esepcially the young?

Okna życia are a good innovation. In fact, shouildn't women who don't wantt their baby or if it was the fruit of a crime bear them and give them up for adoption rather than have them btuchered. There are many childless couples who would do anything to be akle to adopt.


This proves absolutely nothing. One could take any country, organisation, institution or political movment and compile its shortcomings and errors since it came into existence. It's easier with the Catholic Church becuase how many other organisations have been around for over 2,000 years?

In 2004, an already sick and frail Pope John Paul mustered enough energy and determination to take a bold and unprecedented measure. He ordered the closurr of an Austrian seminary where homosexual and paedophilic activities had been reported. That doesn't sound like someone 'soft on deviates', as some Church-bashers claim..

Accused by whom? An proof the accusations were grounded? That he knew what was going on and deliberately aided and abetted the paedophiles? Casting random aspersions is easy. Remember, you are badmouthing the one most Poles regard as the greatest Pole in history.

I heard that notion recently for the first time. That history doesn't exist and the universe is all a kind of mental projection. This is pretty weighty stuff -- hard to digest all at once. I wonder if the virtual world mentaltiy that surrounds us and films Matrix haven't inspired such thinking. I don't know, just wondering.

Hasn't the hedonistic popcommercialism you so espouse also created its own saints and heretics? Doesn't it have its highpriests, sacraments and liturgy, although they may not be called that. Its shopping malls, stadiums and rock arenas are its basilicas and cathedrals and the computer the altar at which millions worship. Nothing has changed -- only a minor reshuffle. Some beleive in Christianity, otehrs in the commercial exploitation of the gullible masses. Take your pick.

I have found that Polish cashiers will say they haven't got change because they've just opened up. But a shopkeeper worthy of the name starts the day with an adequate supply of change. They don't have to send you to a neighbouring kiosk or café to change a100 zł note.

Here is the official teaching. You can accept or reject it, but I didn't make it up. Every Catholic in good standing is expected to accept it.

The Catholic Church is opposed to artificial contraception and orgasmic acts outside of the context of marital intercourse. This belief dates back to the first centuries of Christianity.Such acts are considered intrinsically disordered because of the belief that all licit sexual acts must be both unitive (express love), and procreative (open to procreation). The only form of birth control permitted is abstinence. Modern scientific methods of "periodic abstinence" such as natural family planning (NFP) were counted as a form of abstinence by Pope Paul VI in his 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae

UK, Ireland / Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]

What is the general Irish attitude towards mirgant Poles? I know it varies from person to person, but is there some general vibe that tends to prevail? Do the Irish see in Poles kindred spirits who were also occupied by alien forces for quite some time and share the Catholic faith? Or are they seen as just anotehr bunch of intruders taking jobs from the Irish and abusing the dole? Or yet some other option?

Are Belfast Irish more anti-Polish than the sons of Erin?

Under Polish law, rape is one of the circumstancs that allow baby-butcerhing. Unfortuantely Tusk has reneged on the issue of chemical castration of rapists which could have seved as a deterrent to would-be rapists.

Also, shouldn't situations that foster the spread of HIV/AIDS be restricte by law. For instance making it a crime for a HIV-positive person to engage in casual sex without informing the partner of his positive status.

The so-caleld Theology of Liberation whose posters showed Jesus wielding an assault rifle was rejected as unacceptable. The Church does not condone violence in any shape or form. Solidarity had the Church's support becaseu it was a bloodless revolution carried out under the Cross of Christ.

Contraceptives run counter to procreation. The rhythm method was a compromise but it can be compared to the compromise the Pharisees asked about as regards divorce. They said Moses had allowed them to draft a letter or divorce if their wife was unfaithful, but Jesus explained that was to accommodate the hard-hearted. (Don't recall the exact words - perhaps PF's resdient Bible-quoting atheist will know the exact chapter and verse).

Wrong! People are elevated to sainthood to serve as an example to the faithful. Unlike liberal-leftist bigots who are opposed to the death penalty but support killing the unborn and euthanising the old and useless, and unlike the right-wing fanatics who are for the death penalty but oppose abortion and euthanasia, JPII was opposed to all forms of killing our fellowman. Which are you -- a liberal-leftist bigot or a rigth-wing fanatic?

Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

There's nothing wrong with ethnic humour, and it can be quite amusing. It is often told by members of the group it is satirisng. Irate Scotsman complains to local newspaper: 'If you don't stop printing those Scotsman jokes, I'm going to stop borrowing your paper from my English neighbour.'

The problem is when one group is victimised and others are out of bounds. As a multi-ethnic conglomerate, America has long been known for jokes poking fun at different groups, but the Polack joke craze of the 1970s and later went overboard. You coudl joke about Poles and cut things Polish to pieces, but not about blacks or Jews. The taboo on blacks is understandable -- their acnestors were brought over against their will as slaves and for decades their American-born descednants were kept down and underprivleged. But the Jews? America's financial, professional , academic and cultural elite. What possible reason could there be for giving them preferential treatment and not joking about them in polite society?
