Life / "You are 100 years behind Blacks" - this old Polish saying [29]

Taking into consideration that Africans in Africa invented house built from sticks and mud, stick for scratching back, wooden mask and it took them 40 thousand years -

I would say that being hundred years behind them is quite bad. :)

UK, Ireland / Learning Polish - Polish shops in England? [34]

I am Polish. I lived in London for some time. Let me tell you that - If you would go to the Polski Sklep to polish your Polish ;), people there will be overwhelmed that some English guy is trying to speak their language. They will help you.

Just remember:
- Don't go there in times when they are really busy.
- Be kind. Remember that in Polish language, every woman is a lady. Address them properly. Word "you" is considered rude unless you are a close friend.

I am not sure... but when my friends were legalising the degree FROM Poland they needed first to have it translated and stamped (to proof that what is translated is really written there).

What about the University you attend? Did they not give you any advice on where to legalise it?

News / March for Poland's democracy organized by PiS 13th Dec [49]

I am sorry to say but the March was a total failure.

In theory it was a March intended to honour the fighters and martyrs of the Solidarity movement (Solidarność). But no Solidarity heroes were invited to the Committee. Not a single one.

Instead we had got an stand-up comedian (Jan Pietrzak) who posed as a patriot and dissident, but who was in fact a faithful member of the PZPR (Polish United Workers' Party) and who studied at the School of Social Sciences at the Central Committee (Wyższa Szkoła Nauk Społecznych przy KC PZPR). Also there are some little-known actresses in the Committee.

And - of course - Jarosław Kaczyński as a head of the Committee. The man who was "miraculously" NOT arrested on the 13 December. He spend whole of the Martial Law time under the warm blanket at his mammy house while the real fighters for freedom (who were not invited to this "glorious" march) suffered in the prisons.

This guy has a cheek, doesn't he?

Love / Aliments and abortion (I was married to a Polish guy) [64]

I understand you perfectly.
Yes - you are right - accusing him of forced abortion would probably cost him his job and his freedom. But You don't need to do it.

Just go to the Family Court and demand a child's support and/or legal separation. Maybe a divorce if there is no other way.

He is your husband and and a father of your child. He has some duty.

And remember that - In Polish Family Courts - most of the judges are elderly ladies. They almost always hold the side of the mother.

BTW - "Asian" is a broad word. What country did you come from? You can answer me on PW if you want. You can count on my discretion.

Love / Aliments and abortion (I was married to a Polish guy) [64]

I am a man. A Polish man. And I should show some solidarity to him, right?
But I can't. Even if I try. He is a bloody bastard. He doesn't deserve to be called a man.
I am ashamed that he is one of my own kind.

Dump him. Don't believe he would change. Don't wait for the things to get worse.
It would never get better.
He is far beyond any help.

Obviously - You are for him just a "trophy wife". Exotic, Asian toy.
This is not the way that woman shall be treated. And now - when
the child is on the way and things are getting serious - he does not want to get
serious and be a father of a family.

Don't run away. I see that all you can think of is to get back to your family.
You are protected under Polish law and you don't have to run away.
I don't know if you speak any Polish - but believe me - there is a translator
of every language in Poland. Get legal help.

And don't be ashamed. The shame, the whole shame is on his side.
Not yours.

Even now - on Polish Forums - you show nothing but the loyalty to him.
I would understand if you would curse him in public - but you don't. You are still
trying to be a good, faithful wife. Please accept my deepest respects.

But you have to think about your child.

Love / Aliments and abortion (I was married to a Polish guy) [64]

I don't really know what is the real situation, but:
- In Polish law - child born during marriage is automatically presumed to be husband's child. There would be no DNA test or other funny stuff.

- Forcing someone to get an abortion is illegal. In fact - abortion in most cases is illegal.

He has a duty to support you and child at the appropriate level. My advise - if he would try something nasty - go straight to the Court of law. They may set a certain amount of support even without getting divorce.

If he would try to force an abortion - go straight to the Police.

Also - there are various NGO that would help you.

You see - this is one of the major problem with the media coverage of this case.
They did not found 4 tons of the fertiliser at his home. All they said is that he got an access to 4 tons of fertiliser.
And once more - the guy is a lecturer at the Agricultural University. Agricultural, you know... They research in the subject of farms, land production. And fertilisers.

All they found at his home and all that has been shown to the public is some usual stuff.

News / Poland's Guy Fawkes [88]


Agree again. Ammunition is suspicious and illegal in Poland.
And yet again - disagree. They show us no pictures of any ammunition. Just some lead balls. Something that an American would probably call a "bird shots". This is hardly an ammunition. Even by the standards of Polish restrictive law - this is just perfectly legal lead balls.

News / Poland's Guy Fawkes [88]


I agree with you. The bullets and the four ton of fertilisers in the basement would be a clue.
Unfortunately - the pictures that are "the crushing proof" of his guilt does not include any of this.
All we can see is pictures of some cords, tactical vests (I own one), springs, old batteries, old mobile phones - this kind of stuff.

I mean - come on. I have got the same stuff in my basement. And a lot more.

News / Poland's Guy Fawkes [88]

Just compare the level of professionalism:
FBI: Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis. Mr Nafis was arrested after he allegedly attempted to detonate what he thought was a 1,000lb (454kg) bomb. There was never a threat, the FBI said, as Mr Nafis had been closely watched. He was supplied by the FBI with the fake explosives.

He was arrested after filming his political "Manifest" and after engaging the device he though is a detonator.

ABW (Polish Internal Security Agency): They arrested a man under the suspicion of possessing old Nokia phone, some electrical cable, old Russian lamp and a lot of cord. Green cord.

Red herring. That what it is.

Background: The ABW is currently under Governmental review. It seems that this agency would face a severe reduction of it's competitions. So they found some big-mouth-loony, they courted him for OVER A YEAR and now - the agency can finally show how useful it is.

Don't believe me. Just take a look at the pictures of these so called "proofs". I bet that all of you have got similar stuff in the basement or garage.

Here is the "proof" if his evil intentions:

Thank you for the set of pictures that explain nothing. "One picture is worth of thousand words", heh? ;-)
Since you asked me to explain my "political agenda" - there is no agenda at all.
I believe that the various things that adult people do in the intimacy of their own bedrooms is not a matter of politics at all.

I oppose the same-sex marriage strongly, but I think that my reasons are too complicated for your simple-world and simple-answers world.

BTW - I strongly believe that anyone who think so hard and who spend so much effort on gays is a crypto-gay itself? are you?

I don't personally know any members of these families. But if they ask me, I would gladly explain to them, that the fertiliser may be used as an explosive. But mainly - it just a fertilizer. And it is hardly a shocking news that the man who work for the Agricultural University and specialize in fertilizers has got an access to them.

Oh I see... The gays are unpatriotic because they do not multiply and thus the weaken the nation by their criminal inaction.
Right. So - maybe they shall have right to adopt children? Not even a right. A patriotic duty!
I think they shall be forced to adopt orphans and contribute the Nation this way.

Funny thing - It seems that dr Brunon K is a part of "terrorist conspiracy". Apart from him - all the other members of the evil network were the ABW (Internal Security Agency) officers. And that makes all this story no more than Special Services publicity stunt.

News / Poland's Guy Fawkes [88]


Agree. The place of the old guns and military equipment is in the museum, not in the private flat. But as for now - being an eccentric is not yet punishable by law in Poland. :)

I watched the press conference.
They showed pictures of some old guns (Russian TT and something that look like old FP-45 Liberator). Also some old mobile phones. And a lot of cables.

And these 10-year old video of explosion.
More news:
- They found 4tons. But not explosives, but artificial fertilizer. And this man worked for Agricultural University so...
- The video of explosion may be related to the other job this man held - and that is the sapper techiques seminars for Polish Army.

Right now the guy (dr Brunon K.) is arrested under suspicion of possession of unregistered historic firearms (punishable for up to 5 years in prison).
If they would accuse him of the terrorists plot - this may be a very hard case to proof in the Court of Law.

News / Poland's Guy Fawkes [88]

All of this story is little fishy. All we know for now is that some guy (wiht PhD) in Kraków was a collector of the old guns, uniforms etc.

They also show videos from "test detonations" apparently found on his computer. And now the punch line - the videos are more than 10 years old!
