News / More cars in Poland than America? [29]

Tricksters. It is manipulation to make people in Poland believe in economic progress of the country.

Life / What makes a man a Pole? what does it mean to be a Pole? [187]

The Zeitgeist movement is another one of those "utopian" ideas that are bad
Most of the points in those movies have been debunked.

Most but not all.

religion is the perfect excuse.

I hope zeitgeist movement is not anti-religious.

UK, Ireland / UK Polonia protesting v German TV series [65]

(provided that the portrayal is not of actually Jews who were not that).

""We" are talking about hypothetical film showing only Jewish bandits.

UK, Ireland / UK Polonia protesting v German TV series [65]

We could do that, or we could turn it around again and as how Jews were treated in Poland

"We" could turn it around and ask how all that matters unless you are claiming that the Home Army has been an antisemitic organization devoted mainly to killing the Jews.

Given that some of the AK were most certainly virulently and violently anti-semtic, what's the problem with portraying some AK members as being virulently and violently anti-semtic?

Given your extraordinary sensitivity to the plight of the Jews and a fact that some members of Jewish community were most certainly violently murderous, I gather you wouldn't have a problem with portraying some members of Jewish community as being virulently and violently murderous bandits.

Let's just stick to the topic of this thread.

Yes let's.
If somebody want to protest just let him go along with it.

UK, Ireland / Advice on child support (Irish with my Polish husband) [106]

Look, I have never said we wanted to stop paying child support, I wanted advice on what is reasonable.

A wrong forum to ask for advice. Try here: justanswer.com/family-law/4ii0e-husband-pays-child-support-mhis-daughter-poland.html

UK, Ireland / Advice on child support (Irish with my Polish husband) [106]

In any case, the court is going to see right through these pathetic shenannigans, and probably up the payments. I wouldn't be surprised if they up it to the full 1000 PLN. Serves them right.

Nasty, nasty and nasty.
What goes around comes around.

UK, Ireland / Advice on child support (Irish with my Polish husband) [106]

You are aware that she was asking advice on how to screw an eight-year-old child out of his rather modest child support payments, aren't you?

No, I'm not aware of such a thing. If you are in possession of information about that case that goes beyond what she provided us with why don't you share it with the forum?

News / Polish police chief removes crosses [250]

Because the government and it's institutions should care about all the citizens, not only the majority.

Clearly that is a common misconception. Democracy IS about majority rule. Also care is a very imprecise term.
Poland is "a democratic state ruled by law and implementing the principles of social justice".

Then why not pogan signs? Poland was pogan earlier than Catholic.

Constitution:"We, the Polish Nation - all citizens of the Republic, Both those who believe in God as the source of truth, justice, good and beauty, As well as those not sharing such faith but respecting those universal values as arising from other sources..." all officials "shall be impartial in matters of personal conviction, whether religious or philosophical, or in relation to outlooks on life, and shall ensure their freedom of expression within public life."

The devil lies in the details.

UK, Ireland / Advice on child support (Irish with my Polish husband) [106]

I'm not an expert on Family Court and therefore I'm not able to help you, I'm not in position to help you. The only advice I can give you is do not listen to members posting in this thread as most of them are far cry from experts in family and children law.

knowingly brought all of her problems on herself all by herself

I don't know your circumstances or your background or nationality but you come across as a very nasty individual. cailinbeag seems to be a genuine person in distress asking for advice. There is no call for you to be so repulsive in your response.

I wouldn't **** in your mouth if your gums were on fire.

Genealogy / Polish blood only makes up 1% of your "Polishness" [77]

After arguements, hearing a lot of insults and offence frome one particular user,

goofy mochadot18 was only fooling around, she meant no harm, you are confused because you were arguing with bluesfan and delphiandomine. They upset you not her, be wise and apologize to her, you can benefit from having a friend.

Genealogy / Polish blood only makes up 1% of your "Polishness" [77]

I have been a witness how you and bluesfan and you have been goading and provoking goofy. Questioning his motives, his views and his integrity.

I would say that the both of you are at least partly responsible for his outburst.
I would have said nothing if not for your confrontational attitude clearly visible here. Are you Polish national?

News / The Bauman Affair: A Clear and Present Danger to Democracy and Academic Freedom in Poland [26]

The academic was shouted down but the effect was to silence people who would normally condemn such antics. It's this malevolent threat (of violence) that the author is concerned about and how far it has seeped into public life in Poland.

I doubt they care about his academic career and rather than an academic they shouted down The Internal Security Corps major involved in the crimes against humanity and a traitor to the nation. The author is concerned because academic in qestion is his fellow traveler and colleague not because he give a damn about Poland's public life.

this was an academic event where heckling has no place.

An event opened to the public and although I can agree with you that heckling has no place in academic lectures, there is always an exception to the rule.

News / Tomasevski makes an idiot out of himself yet again [28]

And he is accusing Wiara Lecha and others (who make a *very* strong claim to being the real heart of Poland) of being Lithuanian agents. I can't imagine anything more offensive, especially given the banner in question.

As for political leader - he is a man who has entered a coalition that involved Russians. What kind of Pole would do that?

The bottom line is that you are an anonymous voice on the Internet and he is a political leader and MEP. I understand that you don't like him but other than that you haven't presented any convincing arguments in support of your claims.

News / Tomasevski makes an idiot out of himself yet again [28]

You would listen carefully to a man who was exposed on numerous occasions for outright lying, and who regularly whips up the fear of "Polonophobia" among the Polish Lithuanians for political purposes - and - a man who entered a coalition with the Russian minority in Lithuania?

Yes, because all you say it is just an opinion of anonymous poster. He is a political leader and MEP.

News / The Bauman Affair: A Clear and Present Danger to Democracy and Academic Freedom in Poland [26]

The topic is not about the Guardian, the topic is about labelling people who the far right disagree with as Stalinist or Communist and using the threat of violence instead of debate.

It has been debated here: https://polishforums.com/news/professor-zygmund-bauman-commie-jew-shouted-66727/

There is no doubt that he is a Communist and his connection to a certain newspaper confirms that assessment.

"Last month, the biggest German daily, the 'Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung', published an article in which Bogdan Musial, a Polish historian, revealed renowned Polish-British sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, one of the prophets of postmodernism and author of sociological bestsellers, once worked as an agent for the Stalinist military secret service", notes Andreas Hess, a senior lecturer in sociology.

eurotopics.net/en/home/presseschau/archiv/results/archiv_article/ARTICLE16141-Sociologist-Zygmunt-Bauman-s-hidden-stalinist-past

On June 22nd of this year, in the city of Wroclaw, a lecture by Zygmunt Bauman was aggressively disrupted by a group of neo-fascists.

Whoever wrote this article has no idea about democracy and the same can be said about you and your friends. Hecklers are integral part of democracy.

Typical musings of modern Communist.

News / Tomasevski makes an idiot out of himself yet again [28]

He does, but equally Poland should be aware that he's a proven liar on numerous occasions.

He is The leader of the Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania, MEP. I would have listened carefully to what he says.

News / Hierarchy of Polish people - CBOS newest research [17]

Coincidentally I remember reading a couple of CPOR reports which said that lower importance of religion was more likely to be found in criminals, bankers and those who never have been working for a living.
