Life / Political correctness in Poland [210]

It means they should withdraw the poem from kindergartens, schools and the book market. Pity - it is nice poetry.

History / Your favourite Polish Patriotic films [49]


Hmm, yes, very depressive.
Well, to some extent it is patriotic as it shows what stalinist communists were able to do with people who they considered enemies of the system. After watching the film, the youth should know what to think of stalinism. In Poland Stalin is considered a mass murderer, in Russia - a hero.

That`s middle class` propensity towards political correctness. :):)

I think they believe the word is patronising - reminds of Murzynek Bambo from an old kid poem known to every Polish child. Bambo is a cute, a little naughty boy who still climbs palm trees. and wears a hip sash.

Ziem, isn`t it time to give up that Bambo image? :):)

Polonia / Poland and France cultures are similar [112]

Yes, when Russian cossacks dropped in Paris cafes for a shot, they shouted Bistro, bistro (quick) because thye had been banned to drink by the tsar.

Life / Political correctness in Poland [210]

A PiS-oriented vice mayor of Gdynia shared a picture and commented that black babies are born white but later they acquire proper colourafter bathing in such water everyday. He was critisized for racism because he not only suggested they should swim in dirty water but also used the traditional Polish word for a black race - "murzyński." I agree with the first accusation (nasty, indeed - is it their fault they have such water? ) and disagree with the other - Murzyn is all right to me.

He apologised to all black people who felt offended.

The cultures must be similar. Wasn`t it Poles from whom the French learnt how to use a fork during a meal?

By skunk you mean this stinking one?
But we have already established that only two flying animals are possible - bats and insects. And we already excluded bats.

A kind of flying object but not close, about 2,3 meters from the camera. Exact species is not required. General one is enough.

In the meantime:

If not a bat, what is left then?

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

I like it, sounds so poetic. And whales are such romantic animals. Thanks.
Unfortunately, that was another, quite common representative of animal kingdom.
On second thoughts and a hint - its exact species isn`t so common in Poland. So far I have taken pics of only 3 of them since the beginning of digital photography. In my case, 2005.

Travel / Which Poland's city is LGBT friendly? [43]

Some people asked about full rights. Are they morons or they only pretend to be ones?

Full rights mean that gays can hold their parades without worrying about violence against them, for example.
What happened during yesterday`s first parade ever in Białystok? Antigay protesters hurled stones and eggs at the marchers. The police detained 20 guys, the rest is going to be identified.

See nice pics. As I said, it will not stop the movement. And the more stones are thrown today, the more rainbow flags will wave tomorrow.
