News / Candidate for Poland's National Bank NBP chief Glapiński wants repolonisation of banks [60]

There is a very simple reason why communism collapsed - it doesn't work.

In what way? You sound as if you are trying to spin to us that capitalism in its liberal modern version is somehow an Alpha and Omega. a flawless standard that cannot be shaped or changed according to the country needs.

There is already massive flaw the financial system that led to the last collapse of the banking system that had to be heavily subsidized by the taxpayers money - what kind of capitalism is that?

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

no i really must not...:) Sorry it's boolox that you just made up .

OK? now I know what to say to get you all riled up. :P
As for blx, you need only to read something else that PF. Even on PF you can find it a plenty, there is only one item on this list of complains that I have made up - sad really.

YOu know what, Iron, even if I wanted to rent a room in London, as a native Londoner, I would be discriminated against.

If you say so.... Would you care to explain? Maybe I'm stupid in thinking that rental business is ruled by the market.
That however support my argument I made talking to Chemikiem that so called 'special' legislation created that supposedly is there to combat racism and whatnot are simply a ground which breeds resentment.

The benefits are really not that generous you know.

Hey did you read my post? I believe that was the point I was making, I'm glad that you agree with me.

tbh I dont think Brits have such a problem with Polish people - it more Roumanians, Bulgarians, Kosovans, Albanians etc that they find scary.

Do you think that they can tell the difference?

Also, Brexit is being publicly debated on an immigration platform - which is just to appeal to stupid people and their votes.

Roz, you are pretty much an educated and traveled person who has some interest in public issues. I'm afraid that for your run of the mill countrymen that is the main and a sole reason for Brexit. I'm sure they are some people with valid concerns and issues in regard to the EU but those are few and between.

"still have immigration " - but controlled roz , controlled....:) by the way just the in case you would miss it again I'm agreeing with you here.

we even try and raise it as an issue, that we are 'racist'.

Hey, you are supposedly living in the leftie paradise, are you fed up with the PC and its definition of the world racism?> You racist you :D

we are then told that we are 'too lazy to work'

Kinda goes both way as Poles are being singled out and made a perfect scapegoat for those who oppose immigration as well as for the politicians to pretend that they want to tackle immigration. On the top of being benefits scourges, jobs thieves, notorious for an anti-social behavior, don't integrate, speak Polish, don't like for some odd reason those oh so very welcoming locals, keep to themselves, talk too loud, don't step of the pavement to allow enough space for a strolling local, send money to Poland and so on ....by comparison being told that you too lazy to work is not that bad.

You must admit it. :D
After all you have the most generous benefits in the world that are just a magnet and a beacon in one for all kinds of misfits. Right after Scandinavia, Germany, France, Swiss land, Canada and the Dutch ....wait? :)

As for the CHF mortgages, it's pretty much clear that this is becoming a complete mess for PiS

Nah, it is pretty simple just the law that exist in other countries needs to be applied here as well. You are right though that in the mess of the Poland's legal system and courts specially if you take into consideration the privileged position of banks - that is a long, hard and tough fight ahead. I simply don't understand them. Those mortgages had nothing to do with PiS, quite the opposite they were warning people. The sole responsibility lies on Tusk's government and they are liable to be sued or charged with criminal negligence.

Why they are opening so many fronts they cannot win easily? To my mind that is simply a big flaw in the way there are acting and communicating with the people.

It must be due to the way that PiS is ruled by a one person. He is not some frakking genus and he cannot really handle and properly asses all the information as well as predict all the consequences of undertaken actions. Need more people with brains and think-tank's paid by them, they should have it all ready.

What the British object to is unelected socialism and undemocratic behaviour by the EU.

Nah, what the British object to is the number of immigrants in their country and a perspective that there are more of them coming.

News / Adam Michnik awarded for integrity, professionalism and high standards. Poland's No. 1 fascist? [321]

Don't be silly

You are being silly. Did you at least read wiki about Macierwicz anti-communist activities? Comparing to him Michnik is just nobody and his activities at least suspicions. He gained eminence by working in accord with the commie secret police in 1989 in the name of the nation to which he had no mandate.

After that he became such a big figure he never was in opposition.
By the way Maciarewicz was longer in prison than him.

Strange. Weren't you the one that refused to accept Professor Gross as a historian because he didn't have a qualification in history?

No, I said that on the top of not having formal qualifications in history his book is lacking all the necessary strappings of scientific kind.

It always goes back to ethnicity, doesn't it? There

You haven't explained yourself and you haven't apologized for your racism and racist stereotyping of Poles.

Let's play compare!

Lets! You are not Polish, you don't remember life under communism in Poland. You are not a Polish citizen. So how dare you to tell Poles whom they should respect or what they should think about Michnik?

A very good point.

Absolutely terrible remark. Nothing could further from the truth! such childish line of rezoning leads to nothing else that pointless mud slinging.
There is no academic or logical basis that stays that you need to have a special qualification to talk about specific issues or express your opinion about public figures.

That is anti-democratic, anti-free speech society and precisely that attitude practically stifle all debate and renders all talk redundant, there is only my camp your camp mentality and that state of things suits progressives to the core as they flourish in wishful thinking theoretical gibberish if unopposed but they always are loosing argument if logic and hard facts are applied.

They tend to exclude people who disagree with them or to muzzle them by a slander or belittling tactic.
Those low methods of ideological lunatics undermine all those values that the western civilization is build upon.

but always, those pond-dwellers rant at some point about ethnicity.

Well, there is nothing interesting about it. Just a human nature. You somehow doesn't berate yourself or Harry with your little hobby of starting threads about Polish criminals and their crimes in the UK.

Why would you focus on criminals with Polish ethnicity? If you are interested in crimes so much, you could have and should have to write about crimes committed in Poland.

Sure, Harry and you are allowed do that with impunity but others are (according to you) just a vile racist and bigots. Yeah, tell me more ....

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

lefties still come up with this utter nonsense. It's called treason and traitors should be put up against a wall.

Nah, they should be judged according to Sharia law. Albeit that is a blessing in disguise as they themselves by they every action and words are striping themselves of any verge of respectability or a real standing with the populace.

They Ivory tower detachment from a common man works for us a normal reasonable human beings, wait till their folly is going to hurt big businesses in one way or other - they'll be gone in a blink of an eye.

I'd respect you a lot more if you just admitted that you hate him because you think he's Jewish.

It only an excuse for you to bring up your tired old Anti Semitic stereotype as your bludgeoning tool with which you bash Poles left, right and center while wearing that your ridiculous tin foiled hat. At the same time claiming with typical self-denying righteousness that your slay and appalling racist Anti Polonism doesn't exist. Is that very convenient to you?>

Would be even able to explain why have you be implying that G. hate a Jew just because he is a Jew? Hatful racist Serotypes Delphian? tsk tsk

Do you have anything to say? I suggest you apologies!

Michink is hated across the country because he is an arrogant, hateful and laying bastard. That is obvious for anyone who can speak even basic Polish.

Life / Poles brighter than French, Americans, Israelis and Irish... [20]

Using what test? IQ tests are a load of culturally biased nonsense. T

I don't care much about tests like that or some comparisons that are being made between nations. However and it must be said taking only PF as an indictor I wouldn't be so sure about that they got it wrong:)

how come the country is fecked?

You ask that question again and again. Let me quench your curiosity. Too much freedom and peaceful policy impaired ability of the country to repel and destroy for good dangerous and tyrannical predators on its borders.

All the rest are only consequences of that fact.
The fact that Poland still exists is just an enormous success in itself.

Hillary Clinton is running on an Anti-White Male foundation in the name of "breaking barriers"

So what do you propose to run an Ape white Alpha male is the best campaign? In the face of that kind of folly brains are essential not a childish - no pasaran on a T-short.

In 55 years ? That will likely be a period of Balkan style cruel wars going on since years

Don't pretend to be a prophet, you are not and you can't predict what will happen in five years let alone 50. What do you care about London anyway?

That is pointless and absolutely useless scaremongering that changes nothing. Cultural neo-Marxism is the enemy not some Pakistani goat abuser. As well as uncontrolled corporations - get your priorities right unless you are only fit for gossip. .

it's the complete ineptitude of PiS that has sent the Polish economy into freefall as we can now see.

Life / Poland is safe to visit - "Daily Mail" [100]

I doubt the owner said to her 'go and throw bleach over those British drunks;

He might have told her if she complained to sort it out herself. Anyhow, I have learned a long time ago not to annoy women with a bleach or other kitchen related implements.

She will answer for her crime and that is right and proper but we here on PF can agree after condemning her action that she was provoked to some extent.

if you are mentally unbalanced the worst place to be working is in a city - centre bar!

That would be that owner responsibility to make sure that there is no unbalanced people working there. Let face it what person in her right mind would like to work in this kind of joint?

I think gregy's last post was victim-blaming, until the last sentence!

I don't know his mind. Seems to me that he was only pointing out that victim brother was paining a very rosy picture of himself and their company. He wasn't an innocent lamb that is my point. Nor do I condone throwing bleach or anything at people.

Here is victim blaming roz :

If he really crapped the floor, then thumbs up for the lady.

Spot the difference :)

chasing a customer into the street, throwing bleach into his face and then trying to abscond from the police....

Hmm ....about that chasing into the street - that is an unconfirmed rumor the same goes for absconding from the police.

Look like she'll be going down for that.

She'll take the blame for all the circumstances that that joint's owner and management as well as the city's policy are to blame.. Where is the owner of that place?

He/she should support financially his/her employee rather than to throw her under the bus.
It would serve him right if that shytting dude who got hurt sue him, and then that bleach throwing idiot should sue owner as well for putting her into this mess without a proper support.

Classic victim blaming.

hmm a bunch of drunk idiots hooting and shyting around could have that effect on some mentally unbalanced woman that would push her over the edge. More so, if it was up to her to clean all that mess - probably not the first time.

By the way saying that said dude lied about circumstances of that incident is hardly victim blaming.

mistakenly thinking that he had left the toilet in that state.

That is what he claims, but the police report in Poland has that incident noted in April and in the restaurant. Anyway if you read what his brother say in the paper closely - it must be said that his version sound illogical and if something doesn't make sense it is most likely not true.

News / Moody's credit rating of Poland unchanged, but outlook slumps [64]

Moody's Investor's Services have not lowered Poland's A2

Those ratings are based to a certain extent on a political estimate of a country. Perceived political instability due to destabilizing actions of 0,2% of the society in Poland has something to do with it.

Since PO and other scum are set at acting against the grain and Poland's interest those all that ranking lowered came as not a great surprise.

you said GDP not GDP growth which makes a collossal difference

Pol doesn't really know. He is invested in supporting PiS.

That is a significant change in your tone, many maybe but not all, not really unless you are a racist.

Could be that contrary to British people Polish people are not aware they could land themselves into trouble with the law and the police for doing that.
