Life / Any treatment centres for homos in Poland? [455]

But the one thing is overlooked. The fags/gays/whatever-PC-name-you-like, as any other organised group of perverts, are harmfull to the society. So they need to be stoped. Happiness of any small group, if said group is harmfull to the humanity at large, is completly irrelevant! Or the next day we'll see pride parade of pedofiles or rapists.

I do pity any Faq, that it was born being such a miserable criter, but giving them any "rights" is absolutely out of the question.

Life / Picking up BBC television in Poland [41]


You can receive British BBC in Bielsko-B. Without any viewing cards, just on the analog tuner. Or you could about 2 years ago, I dismantled my dish about that time, so I don't know if is is still possible.

News / 100 days of Komorowski presidency [41]

I can agree, but do you really believe that government is physically able to improve anything? Even if they magically managed to stop caring about theirs own purses and had genuinely tried to improve things just a bit (what a ridicules assumption)?

No Delph, any action our polititians are going to take is going to be along the lines of rising taxes and making our lives even more difficult. And when we'll be able to lern how to go around briliant "reforms" of theirs, the new ones will be in place.

The best thing one can expect from a government is the stagnation. If a polititian could assure me that he is going to do squat, to just sit and look important, he'll got my vote for ever and ever. The perfect official.

News / 100 days of Komorowski presidency [41]

No Delph, I don't want these things. I can live with what we have now (or live around it, anyway)
Let the government stop plying with things they don't really understand. I don't remmember any sigle "reform" that did turned things for the better. And I don't expect to see it, in my lifetime.

News / 100 days of Komorowski presidency [41]

No "reforms", please. No more reforms... I am happy with "stagnation". Everything is better then yet another reforms. Reforms are killing us.

History / The Greatest King of Poland? [117]

I agree with MrGrunwald. Lokietek re-united Poland after Krzywousty's blunder.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

Guinnesses sold in Poland are no real Guiness at all.
Years ago it was, it had such characteristic, "smoke like" taste. It have made me acquire a taste for the porters, at the time. But then Zywiec have bought the licence and all have gone downhill. It is now produced in PL and tastes similarly to a Zywiec Porter, just costs more.

I have not tried "Draught" yet, though. And not looking forward to it.

Life / Any treatment centres for homos in Poland? [455]

@Convex "guys in the field worry about completly other issues"
Like not to bend under a shower, that is?

On more serious note, I seem to remmember reading something about a faq unit to cause some massacre in Serbia or other Kosovo, because they were too afraid to react, to even try to prevent it.

Life / Any treatment centres for homos in Poland? [455]

:DD "Strickly gay army unit". Good one. This give to the "Army of Faqs" the whole new meaning... Run for your life! Army of Faqs at the doors!

News / America's Tea Party like Poland's Solidarnosc? [59]

I sometimes do wonder... If the Solidarity's strikers knew that their actions will be the cause of liqidation theirs work places, that in the end result they'll become jobless flock, some of them even homeless...

I harbour no love for communism, but I have turned up rather nicely at the end...
But these people, they got tricked, didn't they?

Life / Poles don't know how to celebrate the Polish Independence Day? [57]

We are somewhat forbiden to be it right now, and we should fight for it, but celebrating... seems weird ;)
But I see your point, maybe you are more or less right.

News / Upping the speed limit in Poland [92]


Quite the contrary. As long as everyone is driving the same speed, regardless of speed limit, there is low probability of an accident. But if there is just one law abiding moron, so called "zawalidroga", one that have to be overtaken by everyone else in the traffic, while they are watching out for oncomig cars and cursing under theirs breathses a sunday driver, the danger of head on collision raises exponentially.

Life / Poles don't know how to celebrate the Polish Independence Day? [57]

I guess so, but the thing is, as I see it, only a Poles livig abroad would thing of celebrating being Polish.
At the some token, while not being feminist, quite the contrary by the way, I'd laugh out loud at the thought of celebrating being a male.

News / Upping the speed limit in Poland [92]

Yes, I all for harsh treatment of speeders, but only after all the ridicules speed limits are re-evaluated. All thesse 50km/h limits on "dwupasmówkach" (cannot think of right translation right now) in fact encourage speeding - if it was something reasonable, like 90 km/h, I'd at least consider it. Right now I'll just snort "they got to be kidding" and floor it. Be hanged for a lamb...

Life / Poles don't know how to celebrate the Polish Independence Day? [57]


While I agree that we do need more outdoor activities...


I don't get it. To celebrate being Polish? We just are. What's to celebrate?

Life / Poles don't know how to celebrate the Polish Independence Day? [57]

You see, American Independence Day is the commemoration of the day when US state was created. On the other hand, 11 November is just the end of Partitons, the independance was gained for 20 years, then we where occupied by Germans, then by Russians. One can argue that since we are part of the EU now, the Poland even today is not fully free.

In sum, Polish independance day in not seen as all that important. By many Poles.

Life / Where to buy some recreational stuff like... bongs for smoking "herbs" in Poland? [20]


Now, is it? So why it makes to joke around? Antidepressant would be more correct, wouldn’t it.

History / Maus by Vladek Spiegelman - animals to represent Poles? [68]

I have read 'Maus' several years ago. While depictions of Poles irritated me somewhat, I rather enjoyed the read. Good stuff.

Life / Where to buy some recreational stuff like... bongs for smoking "herbs" in Poland? [20]

If you suffer from some kind of depression, just get drunk. It is superior to any drugs: absolutely legal, completly harmless and quite pleasant experience... No need for "herbs".

Food / Any królik (rabbit) fanciers on PF? [76]


Yes, I know that, I am a Pole after all. The swans have just become my standing joke, when dealing with foreigners.

On serious note, I don't eat rabbits. It dates from the times when my farther was breeding rabbits and all thirty-odd of them died from some illness within twelve hours.

News / Why is Poland developing so slowly or in the wrong direction? Who is responsible ? [317]

Very late retirements, is sounds good on paper. But who is going to employ these 70 y.o. grandpas? Would you, Delphiandomine? If some granfather with a walking stick comes to your office, looking for a job, what your reaction would be?

"the law of the land is the law of the land"??
In turn, I have no fooking idea what YOU do mean...
Seems vaguely king Arthur thing... Something Merlin could say... King is the land and land is the king... Makes about as much sense.

News / Why is Poland developing so slowly or in the wrong direction? Who is responsible ? [317]

But Milky, you cannot impose your own ways on the other cultures. I would be /see and behold/ "rasism". Banish the thought.

PS. Am I politically correct enough?

News / Why is Poland developing so slowly or in the wrong direction? Who is responsible ? [317]

What is the correct direction of the development then? And how it is different from the current one?

USA, Canada / Polish jet The TS-11 Iskra flies over Brooksville [10]

It is old, 1960s, plane.
Unfortunately, long ago the government have canceled it's succesor, I22 Iryda, (that way they could steal somewhat more money) so Polish Air Forces for years now have no proper school plane. We'll have to buy something abroad, as it is way too late to start up a new poject, but even that is at least five years ovedue. Danmed politicians.

News / 30 to 40 thousand abortions by Polish girls in foreign countries [142]

Here where I live, relatively close to Czech border, more then half of the women I know visited Czechs at least once.

EDITED: I have just seen how it looks like :-)
I am NOT suggesting that I did have anything to do with the reason for said visits...
