That was Tauron Arena in Krakow by night. Krakow Arena is the biggest hall entertainment and sports venue in Poland.

There is still one last Bieszczady riddle in 2911.

History / Your favourite Polish Patriotic films [49]


Yes, Wajda.

Also patriotic as it shows the birth of Solidarity movement in 1980. It got the main prize at Cannes. But that was a political decision. not artistic, cause technically the film wanst` a masterpiece. Actors - as usual with Wajda, the best.

Aha, Człowiek z Żelaza.

Dear Iron, can we have a request? When you explain sth, can you provide more info? Your way is too succinct, people who are not aware of certain historic events might feel lost after reading you. This forum doesn` t exist only to show others how much you know. One of its more important goals is to englighten people about things they didn`t know.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Compare my earlier entry on Świerczewski.

I believe greatcoat looks more military than an overcoat.

The problem arose when I read Polish szynel - soldier`s coat in the info plaque in one photo above but they translated it as overcoat in English version.

Life / Masculinist movement needed in Poland? [26]


Yes, that`s a perfect explanation. Median salary for all men and women in the USA and Poland is 80 to 100.


Another accurate remark. Median salary for men and women with the same job and qualifications is 98 to 100. I won`t nitpick about this 2% less.

Unfortunately, it is accurate only for the USA.

Poland is still backward. Women who do exactly the same job as men earn 18% less in Poland. Examples: main accountants` wages: men - 51 PLN, women - 37 PLN.

As the OP seems Polish, his suggestion to create a masculinist movement refers to Poland. With such pay disparities, it is still too early for that, which I said before.

Because it is a greatcoat.

Life / Russian citizen wants immigrate to Poland [39]

Of course not. Russians have experienced much worse things and they stayed calm.

But in another thread you praised Putin and Kremlin actions, e.g, against LGBT.
Do you understand now that LGBT goes first under the boot of tyrants and then they deal with political dissidents who protest against undemocratic elections?

Life / Masculinist movement needed in Poland? [26]


Not yet. The situation of men is not so bad. E.g., how much less do women earn on the same positions as men in Poland or the USA? The gender pay gap is about 18% more for men in both countries .

Life / Why are the Italians and Polski so much alike? [90]

The thing that connects Italians and Poles is/was traditional Catholicism.

It is hard for me to find other similarities cause everything else is different, starting from the climate.

Life / Small Personal Experience in Poland [6]


Armenians were one of many nationalities which lived in the first Commonwealth. There were thousands of them in Eastern lands - they were mostly merchants and shop keepers, also jewellers and rug makers.

Wiki entry on Armenians in Poland is very long.

Poles of Armenian origin - when we look through the list, there are names that each Pole knows.

Life / What income/assets and worth, will give you a "rich" status in Poland? [22]



Good question.

Well, land covered with trees needs to fulfill certain conditions to be official forest. One of them is the assumption sb is planting them for commercial reasons. If I plant a lot of trees on my land, it doesn`t automatically mean it is a forest if I am not going to maintain it as a forest and then cut it down .

Love / Attraction from a Polish man? [22]

Because it is a vital thing to do for any male. You don`t adjust your crotch? It means your friend is dead and doesn`t need adjustment. Mine isn` t and he needs exercise, ventillation and loosening too tight conditions.

Love / Attraction from a Polish man? [22]


I do it but without ostentation - so, I don`t shout: Watch out everybody, now I am going to adjust my crotch! I prefer to do it discreetly, but it doesn`t mean I go to the restroom. No, I just attract people`s attention to sth else, e..g. I point to a bird flying overhead and say: Look, a bird! and then I improve my crotch. If sb prefers to still look at my crotch than a bird, it is his or her business, I don`t care.

Love / Attraction from a Polish man? [22]

Hmm, do you mean that Polish males don`t scratch and adjust their crotch?

I do it regularly.

You see, now you have learnt sth new about Poland.

Yes, he was. During Bolshevik Revolution he fought on the Reds` side and later against Poles. Stayed in the Soviet Union, became a military intelligence agent. Fought in Spain against Franco. During German Soviet war he was removed from his position for alcoholism and incompetence. Made a commander of Polish troops created by Stalin, sent them to certain death with his crazy orders. Germans scored their last great victory in WW2 thanks to Świerczewski.


No delph, scum like that doesn `t deserve monuments. He had blood on his hands. It is not Finland where Finns still keep monuments to Tsar Alexander from the times when Finland was a Russian domain and today Fins remember the tsar as a good ruler.

Świerczewski was a traitor of Poland cause he prefered the Soviet Union and fought hard for the victory of communism in the world. Keeping that monument here was spitting into the faces of all victims of communism.


Not all communist monuments are bad. I am also against blind destruction of all PRL era stuff. But in case of Świerczewski, it was historical justice.

hahaha that would mean he is very flexible.


Come on, apes are attractive and make headlines..

Love / Attraction from a Polish man? [22]


He must have been really interested.


Of course. That is one of those gestures that humans perform to emphasise their attractiveness. Females play with or flip their long hair, males scratch their crotch, flex their muslces, diminish their beer belly. Simple. We inherited it from monkeys.

Do you like reading erotic stories? Which one would you recommend?

Love / Attraction from a Polish man? [22]


Yes, it is possible. . Didn`t you watch that scene when Asterix and Obelix are standing before Cleopatra and suddenly one of her ladies-in-waiting enters and bewildered Asterix stares at her for 30 minutes? In the film shortened to 30 seconds. Morons!

That`s pure life. I love such moments, I cry like a beaver.

This long-winded style of writing reminds of of the poster who loves describing his wrestling incidents with bumpers in Warsaw clubs.


Like any men anywhere in the world - with a hard-on! Hence, crotch handling to adjust the abruptly changing situation. Consider it a positive manner - you ropused his interest.


aroused, of course.

In the Polish text I found "szynel." In Polish it means a military coat.

Yes, it shows Polish martyrology at the hands of our second worst enemies after Nazi Germans.

Life / Political correctness in Poland [210]


I thought it is a result of political correctness and I also heard about court rulings in which the victims of enthnic mobbing at their worksites got compensation for being called dumb Pollacks.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Yes, Chemikiem and delph, it is near the cemetery. Or, rather was. They dismantled it this year. Świerczewski was highly controvercial, more of a Soviet traitor than a patriot. Thousands of Polish soldiers died because of his leadership incompetence.

Delph, he wasn`t executed. There was an ambush on the road and a little skirmish followed. He was shot in action.

The destruction of the monument can be called the historical justice..

I hadn` t cared when it was there - not my area, not my business - and I didn`t care when they pulled it down - I won`t cry after it.

You can see the red grafitti TRAITOR on those marble plates still attached to the monument.
