Life / Why so many soldiers walking on Polish streets? [17]

I have been in Poland for a while, and while I've been here I have seen many soldiers walking the streets usually in pairs with guns.

Yes, it is normal here. They have been roaming streets since 1981. Street partisans, so called.

f

It's not normal, I barely ever see police in Wroclaw..

Germans who inhabit Wrocław don`t need the police.

UK, Ireland / Why Manchester rules over Warsaw :) [65]

A tongue-in-cheek, yet brutally honest and clearly truthful Saturday night thread. :)

I am sorry about your health. I hope you recuperate soon because you are visibly not yourself, as your illness badly influences your emotions.

People are patriots of their places. I would never move to any foreign city no matter how great it would be.

But, being from Krakow, I could live in Warsaw because it is a very fine city.

Of course it is still backward, just like all Poland. But wait another 20 years and Warsaw will surpass Manchester beyond comparison.

After all, it is a capital, while Manchester is only one of major British cities.

Life / Diaspora, what do you miss from Poland? [15]

* Do kraju tego, gdzie kruszynę chleba
Podnoszą z ziemi przez uszanowanie
Dla darów Nieba...
Tęskno mi, Panie...
Do kraju tego, gdzie winą jest duża
Popsować gniazdo na gruszy bocianie,
Bo wszystkim służą...
Tęskno mi, Panie...

Norwid.

Life / Is parity the answer for Polish women? [262]

Is parity the answer for Polish women?

No, it is not. Such things can`t be forced upon people by legislation, the best is a natural process.
Currently, Polish women are not too interested in politics. Making them interested could be too stressful for all parties/sides involved.
