News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

Anyone wondering what kind of country we're now living in should read this :

That is some BS. KOD annoyed a lot of people for their hypocrisy and lies. Implying organized action or connection to government is simply black propaganda, nothing new as this kind of dishonestly typical for a troll, internet stocker and impersonator you are.

This is exactly why we're taking to the streets this weekend in order to defend ourselves against Russian-style assaults on democracy.

The only assault on democracy are by elements that are unable to recognize result of the democratic election.

Hardly surprising that our usually suspects on PF are siding with traitors, post communist and all kind of left nutters against democratically elected government.
They don't care about will of the nation as expressed in the last election they take side of totalitarian dictate rather that respect democratic choice, the have nothing but contempt for elections that put to power somebody else than their ideological brothers.

At last there is not doubt that their are enemies of the nation and Polish state and any freedom loving individual.

I urge all foreigners that care about this country do not attend these protests.
Also you should know you would be siding with banksters and extreme lefts nutters.

News / PiS to force every hard working, low earning Polish family to pay for TV [96]

They have agreed the fees/charges for 2016. It is 22.70 pln a month.

Who are they? it isn't a new tax, it is old TV -fees.

My argument that it is not STATE television still stands, as all of the stations broadcasting are in private hands

Nope there is TVP the state TV, even though you seems to be unaware of that.

You should be glad they are invested enough to care.

Why? Should I be also glad if stalkers took interest in my daughter? What kind of nonsense is that?

have moved back to the UK , with more of the Polish family moving for the economic benifit.

Good for you, I wonder way you have moved to a country that in comparison to Poland can be described as a nanny state or a socialist hub?

But it will be nice to watch from the sidelines

Just to beater PiS for alleged socialism.
I think that even though your hardware is in order you need to sort out your software as it seems to be riddled with viruses and doesn't work that well.

News / PiS to force every hard working, low earning Polish family to pay for TV [96]

The fact that PiS want to introduce this new tax is irrelevant to me

Need to be motioned that PiS set in motion bill to increase tax-free income considerably but as it has not yet come to pass there is noting to diddle doodle about, the same goes for that public TV tax. Unfortunately some Brits in Poland are hopeless cases who don't do they country a credit, hence we encounter now and then such a thread on PF, a proof of ease with which they use back propaganda on behalf of people and causes they have a very vogue idea about.

Feedback / A special "for those living in Poland..." section. [33]

Is not important what they are called but by whom. You cannot expect that anyone will take seriously a group of jesters who claim to represent a real Polish voice and who to the man are foreigners.

Genealogy / Are the origins of Bernatowicz French? [23]

My dad's family looks Asian though and there appears to be a Tatar (Turkic) connection as well

Meaning what? What passes for an Asian look in your neck of the woods?
Armenians are not Turkish, Turkmens or Tatars kid.

Yeah, you should have a special section on this forum for "special" people.
On one conduction though, you wouldn't be able to comment on the main forum as it is only fair.
I propose a name for your section - LaClub of Clowns - its has a good ring to it. LaC&C views on Poland.

We have all forgotten about people

Why not wait after the bill will be introduced, you are all worry about things you cannot know in advance. by the way it is supposed to be 10zl by a household that makes a difference isn't not.

(e.g. being blind, being deaf

If they are blind they can still watch TV and if their are deaf they can watch TV. :D
Sorry I couldn't resist to take a crack at this. :)

Off-Topic / Protestant countries developed faster than Catholic countries [14]

Protestant thought encourages independent thinking

That is protestant propaganda to be honest, during and after Protestant Revolution people were burned at stake in their drovers, quickly outdid anybody else, free thinkers and other religions have been persecuted, privet property stolen, places of worship destroyed, totalitarian government invented.

Please tell memory about wonders Protestantism bought.
In time the worst excesses burned out but uniformity and authoritarian states are all legacy of the PR.

Off-Topic / Protestant countries developed faster than Catholic countries [14]

According to the article at Wirtualna Polska and a bunch of studies, protestant countries experienced an explosive growth for 2 centuries compared to the catholic countries in Europe.

That is a lot of nonsense. History tell it otherwise.

News / Poland's Department of Defense reports 24th anniversary of Radio Maryja [29]

Radio Maryja is a well known and controversial Roman Catholic radio station, known for antisemitism, bigotry and politics

Actually those are simple lies and slander made by neo-Marxist, ex-commie secret police types, oligarchs, progressives and other trash.

Department of Defense felt obligated to write about Radio Maryja anniversary on its front page.

Well, that PiS for you, showing off.

As well as separating senile old people from their pensions

I heard that you were doing the some but to unsuspected students for a change, hence your multiple mansions (allegedly).

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

Most normal, rational people that aren't blinded by hate can respect Michnik for what he's done, hence why he tends to get awarded by credible institutions.

Nope, they who awarded him don't represent a normal rational people but a certain ideologically biased group.

Your post is just the same old regurgitated nonsense from fronda.pl and other places

What other places? I don't read fronda.pl.

If you said that he was a deeply divisive figure and that some sections of society absolutely hate him - it would be true.

All Poles - meaning politically active Polish people who are against the system and liberalism and progressiveness.

There's a new generation coming through.

What? The new generation is mostly into a national movement, they are few dudes going left, mainly progeny of the red menace. None care about such a old geezer like M.

Given that Michnik is well liked and respected by a considerable section of society

That considerable section are just a tiny minority as I have said.

you've just provided an assessment straight from fronda.pl.

Bah, not at all , you just need to read my post without your usual bias against me.

The right wing is obsessed with him beyond all belief, a

Hmm don't like him for a reason but he is no longer somebody to be reckoned with, he lost all his standing in society.

Let's be honest : had Michnik been a pro-PiS journalist, you would never say a bad word about him.

I don't care what party he is supporting and for that matter majority of Poles agree with me on that.
What's more I have given my unbiased assessment of his standing in the eyes of Poles.

Raving mad would barely serve to describe it.

You sure are entitled to your opinion. I would say that speaking in public is not his forte.

Well respected by normal moderate people

Nope, respected by progressives, neo-Marxists and his cronies from democratic union. I wouldn't call them moderate after all their are revolutionary at heart, neither they are reasonable with they ideology defying sense and logic.

Unlike the extremist Macierewicz that you mention - someone roundly disliked.

True he got a bad rep. which he doesn't deserve to be honest. He is a hardly an extremist, he is simply consisted and focused as all those hardy long term oppositionist and dissidents stating up to the man, Soviet secret police and totalitarian state.

He doesn't make a good impression on TV or the radio but personally he is a very composed, intense, warm and intelligent person - no sign of implied obsessions, extremist - hardly.

So you keep saying

As you keep repeating your opinion, he might be well respected in your circles. Few years back he wasn't liked but yes he respected by many but it is no longer true, simple. Right now he is being simply ignored and few people care about him and his views.

He's actually very well thought of and people admire his stance, particularly going to jail for his beliefs back in the totalitarian years.

Come on you are talking about his fun club. They simply belong to a very narrow and small minority.
Many people hate his guts or despise him for his hypocrisy and double standards and for his notorious meddling into politicks by slandering and labeling people he happens to disagree with.

As for his jail time, same can be said about Macierwicz and many others, he is not some exception or a lone hero. Although he plays this card to the hilt, to the point nobody's give a damn about his so distant past. They would rather remember his defense of Jaruzelski, Kiszczak and his brother traitor and totalitarian court lackey who partook in murdering Polish heroes after 1945.

Majority don't care as to what he has to say or about him and his overplayed past.
