News / Poland Parliamentary elections 2015 [1060]

When people come to the choice Polonius, only dim-wits and hippies will vote for Kukiz.

I love music, and I had never heard of him til the presidential election. He's just a silly old fart.

I suspect the support will fall away before the election.

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

I don't think the nuns killed anyone. There were higher infant mortality rates and these were all home births - whether or not they did their best for sick babies or just let nature take it's course is a deeper issue.

This does illustrate that lapses in human rights can happen anywhere and why pro-active, constructive and supportive monitoring is necessary.

In Poland, there have been lapses too, but the world is getting better and with the support of the EU, rights are being taken more seriously.

In fact here in Poland, whenever Poles have been in charge, the laws covering human rights have mostly been very progressive. And now they're steadily improving.

In Poland you still cannot see those gay sponsored acts in front of Churches because in Poland they are still at the first step of their so used plan: Claim right to marriage and etc

You can't see

anal orgies in front of churches

anywhere - they don't happen; this is only your fantasy.

then they ask to prohibition of religions, and at the end anyone that says anything about gays go to Jail.

In those countries gays have special protection law that almost give to them super-citizen status.

As is this.

History / Location of Radwau (town in Poland) and its church? [14]

Above all, the language of the certificate is most important to pin down the region - I am assuming it isn't in Cyrillic script, therefore we can rule out the part of Poland that was in the Russian Empire. If in German, which is likely, the certificate should also show whether it was issued in Austro-Hungary or Germany. This narrows it down.

A nice bit of news:

Last year's opinion poll commissioned by the Batory Foundation and the Media Fund has shown that over 60 percent of the respondents support the siting of the rainbow sculpture in Warsaw. Nearly just as many consider setting fire to the artwork "a mindless act of hooliganism."

News / US military hardware coming to Poland [76]

Getting back to the topic and away from the usual nonsense about American-style firearms policies, it looks like Putin is upping the ante:

Vladimir Putin has pledged to add more than 40 new intercontinental ballistic missiles to Russia's nuclear arsenal in 2015, sending a clear warning message to Nato amid escalating tensions.
The Russian president made the announcement during his opening address at the Army-2015 Expo, an international military forum near Moscow.
Mr Putin said that "more than 40 new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) able to overcome even the most technically advanced anti-missile defence systems" would be added to Russia's nuclear arsenal this year.

Although good fences make good neighbours, Russia will never be a good neighbour. And with the louse Snowden revealing data about British and American agents there, the free world is in a much harder position to ensure Europe's safety.

Those people ALREADY have them jon.

How do you know? Fortunately guns are hard to get in Poland.

That's off topic, anyway - there are other threads where you can rant about gun control.

WE ? When did you get your Polish citizenship ?

You'll never know.

News / US military hardware coming to Poland [76]

Arming the Polish citizens with assault rifles would be a very good first line of defense.

All of them? Including the violent ones? Including criminals?

At least have a fighting chance when your family and neighbors are being raped and murdered.

That's why we have an army.

That didn't just fall out of the sky. The scientists were approached and made offers they couldn't refuse.

Do tell.

Give the Polish people the right to bear arms to defend themselves.

Very useful when Putin is increasing his armoury of nuclear weapons. Not.

Love / How to Make (Polish?) Women happy? [96]

How little you see. Though I expect that outside forum bickering we could actually share some common ground and have some decent discussion.

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]

Exactly. In matters of child protection it's about as valid as quoting from the disgusting so-called Leadership Council or the Slater Gordon law firm (behind much of the recent witch hunt in UK and Australia).

Neither of them yet in Poland, though Slater Gordon may be exploring. All to do with compensation payouts. And they have a PR team who are very effective at whipping up media frenzies.

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]

Any statistician can see the flaw in that. Not least because homosexuality is not paedophilia and vice versa. Besides, as ever, you're trying to go off topic.

Remind me Pol3, what percentage of Catholic Priests are male?

the statistics don't back it up.

The link to the World Health Organisation statistics are there. And anyone who knows both countries would find your assertion laughable.

Likewise with the English women, they are fed up putting up with dead-loss English men and go for foreigners like in my case for Polish.

Equally laughable. As I say, the type of skank whose only chance of getting more than casual sex off anyone from the same culture who can read her better will clutch at any straw to get a home without ripped wallpaper and a burnt out car in the garden. Much the same in Poland, except it's more about finding someone a. from outside the village, b. doesn't have other a shaved head or a mullet (or both) and c. who can stay sober.

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]

but with foreign staff the Polish police will just say "Never heard of him."

They can insist on one from the home country (or anywhere else the person has been a permanent resident) - UK summers schools now do that as do many other countries. Not least due to people moving from place to place to increase their opportunity to offend.

I really am amazed that with the tens of thousands (at least!) of native speaker teachers who have passed through Poland over the last two and a half decades that not one has been nicked for noncing.

I once came across one I was beginning to have some vague concerns about given his reaction to something I once told him about a Roma child prostitute soliciting in a certain bit of central Warsaw (he was never an employee by the way) but that was years ago, a more innocent time, or so it seemed. He did only teach adults in Poland as far as I know, most of the time, a long way from the capital.
