News / Who controls Gazeta Wyborcza?? [216]

Hopeless? So 70% of the Polish voters are hopeless...I am still waiting fro your 90% argumentation?
You mean are 70% are misguided? By the way, in the European and local elections one of this 70% was my modest vote :))))

News / 1.3% birth rate = Poland's slow death [221]

Please define Polska B, thank you in advance.

Polska B thinks rydzyk and the duck will save Poland.

In any country where wealth goes up, birthrates go down. This is logical. In poor societies parents rely on lots of children to support them in their old age.

In wealthy societies, the system takes over this obligation.
In my native Belgium, when I was young in the sixties...my parents have 5 children, my friends' families also have 4-6 children. Now the average family has 1-2-3 children.

Nobody thinks they are the victims of atheists.
It is solely to be contributed to the material evolution of society.
P.S. The remaining duck is in poor position to comment on this one, given his common known "natural inclination" :)

News / Who controls Gazeta Wyborcza?? [216]

Hmmm...which 90%? If 70% votes against the Smolenkists? And how many vote for that nutcase Korwan-Mikke...whose stance on mentally handicapped people comes very close to this of Dr. Goebbels?

News / Kaczyński presents alternative to PO thievery [26]

Yes but Polska B, uneducated, uninformed (the only information they get is in church from their reactionary priest) will vote for him whatever he tells

News / Who controls Gazeta Wyborcza?? [216]

No, feckin c***n, that is the reason why +90% of the country laugh at Żakowski claiming that the more pederasts, the richer country is.

If 70% votes against świry marcinkiewicz, ziobry, hoffmann, duck...and if the most-sold serious daily is GW. What does it tell you?How many copies are selling "Der Stuermer" and "Voelkisch Beobachter" Pollsh clones... Nasz "Rydzyk" Dziennik, Gazeta "Facist"Polska...as compared to GW?

Does this mean that 70% of Poles are deformed?

News / Kaczyński presents alternative to PO thievery [26]

I want to reflect the Polska B / gp / duck crowd on Warsaw. I do not expect the polonia crowd to understand the following though.
PIS here in Warsaw is spinning a big story about how the construction of the second metro line will be delayed for maybe a year (so they state) and the fact that the Wisłostrady tunnels are closed for months to come. And this is supposed to be the mistake of our City President HKW.

Of course they forget to mention that the first duck decided to build these tunnels (on one of the most fragile geological fragments in the city), and later Marcinkiewicz, another pis crony - whisked away to a plum job in London and with a penchant for young secretaries - moved the Powiśle station to a location under the tunnels.

News / Who controls Gazeta Wyborcza?? [216]

is clearly pushing an extreme agenda, which is not in line with what majority of Poles think

Is that the reason why 70% of the country in elections votes AGAINST the Radio Rydzyk nutcases?

Law / Clocking cars and importation to Poland [47]

Don't think I would like to cycle in Poland

I am cycling everyday here in Warsaw - actually on my good old faithful Dutch Gazelle bike - and I am still alive :)
It is true Polish drivers show a malicious view on anybody not moving around on 4 wheels, but there are a lot of bicycle paths here in Warsaw.

What do you think?

I think you are a Ziobrist, destroying your laptop from time to time.

"Polish, An Essential Grammar" by Dana Bielec.
I do not know if it still is in print though.

Food / The best MILK BRAND in Poland? [5]

The fresh milk sold in most supermarkets is quite good. But you can only keep it for a few days in the fridge.
If you are in Warsaw, the "mlekomat" on the back of Hala Mirowska sells really fresh milk - almost straight from a cow as it were :)

USA, Canada / Who is better informed, the expat or the Polonia crowd? [144]

Who knows better how Poland ticks...the Polonia crowd living in Chicago and coming over once a year (if ever) to Poland...or the expat/foreigner who lives here year in/year out, works here, has his/her Polish friends, pays taxes...?

Feedback / Why are there so many on here, who do not like Poland [150]

I wonder if a Chicago Polonist who comes over sometimes, knows more about how modern Poland functions...as compared to any foreigner who lives, works, pays taxes in Poland since many years?

Interesting date :)

Travel / Warsaw city bikes [14]

Yes, Nextbike is operating it here in Warsaw. But the system gives you the unlock code to a certain bike...What is stopping you after logging off (returning the bike), to open the same lock with the same code?

Great idea though :)

News / Poland's Truth Commission "IPN" to be de facto closed [80]

It would have been much better to adopt the German system with the Stasi files. Here in Poland PIS/IPN (the same crowd) is using its information peace meal to discredit anybody critical of the PIS-ONR crowd...

A lot of my Polish friends are telling that the wholesale opening of the old archives would not suit the Polish church for example.

Travel / Warsaw city bikes [14]

Did anyone already try the Warsaw city bikes? From what I read and hear they are very popular. I do not use them - have my own faithful Dutch Gazelle :) - but it looks a bit complicated in using. Still a very good idea though.

Travel / Experiences with The Modlin Airport? [12]

Did anybody here already have any experience with Modlin Airport? I was told it is completely bare -i.e. no facilities at all. And that the check-in and security control is breathtaking slow.

News / Poland's Truth Commission "IPN" to be de facto closed [80]

The ducks' father was a clear commie collaborator. Something generously glossed over by the PIS/Nasz Dziennik crowd. As far as I know, IPN has not published any files relating to him. By the way, IPN was offered by the government two alternative locations to their present offices.

I think Warszawa Centralna has undergone a great transformation. I like the IC trains as well.

Travel / Polski Bus experiences in Poland? [17]

What are the experiences of the forum members on PolskiBus? Their rates are really very low, but how do they compare to PKP IC for example?

I am bound to get sick on any coach - but there are medicines for that :).
Is it worth to travel with them? Myriad stops on the way?

News / Poland's Truth Commission "IPN" to be de facto closed [80]

As I know IPN is in arrears for years with its fixed costs. Interesting is that the previous owner of the building where they have their offices is Ruch, until recently state-owned.

Skanska bought it and is kicking them out because presumably they have better tenants. What is the big deal?
By the way, KOR was behaving courageously, its members all imprisoned. The duckists had a balmy time in PRL. Father a genuine commie collaborator, living in a spacious Żoliborz flat, being able to study...One not really interested in the opposite sex...(not that this bothers me, but in PRL times this was fatal as I know).

No wonder they founded the IPN.

News / Poles, Polonians and aliens on Pussy Riot? [182]

Comparing living together out of wedlock with condoning murder is completely sick :(.
I see that you very lightly dismiss the behave of many Polish priests.

How many Poles refuse to shack up and live in sin

How do you define "living in sin"? Many couples live together in perfect bliss and happiness without any church blessing. Who are you to condemn them?

As in regard to the many Polish priests who have a mistress /concubine? Newsweek was very entertaining on this one :). Ah of course they only have a maid :)

As in regard to Paetz in Poznań or that pervert priest who burnt himself (very cowardly) on the cemetery because he molested children?
