Trust the OP (the frustrated anti Polish latin) to come up with a thread like that. No surprise there, then again coming from latin America he would know all about prostitution.

Quite common? How common exactly any examples of these job agencies?

lets stick to the facts and try not to be guided by anecdotal evidence alone.

I have(because I lived in SA), but most of them are generally strongly against mixing. In my opinion love should be color blind, and people should marry based on suitability and not necessarily race, However personally I would feel uncomfortable mixing outside of my own culture.

They are, but this discipline is not self imposed. These are talentless individuals who can't do anything besides politics, and the prospect of them going outside of the party structure, God forbid forming their own party and possibly not making it into parliament again, would be a total disaster, and the end of their meager existence as they know it. So it's a discipline borne out of the basest form of cowardice.

Never in the field of human history have so many ass lickers congregated into party with so few prospects. the PIS functionary is the ideal type of party stooge, obedient and unquestioning. Take Hoffman for example, he would make the ideal PRL functionary, and with his surname dare i say it, he would serve the National Socialists just as well.

What a contrast with PO, a party that tolerates internal competition for power. Look at Tusk and Schetyna, they are competing for power and yet still remain on very good terms, contrast this with Kaczynski who takes everything personally and is intolerant of dissent, no wonder he surrounds himself with brain dead conformist toadies.

We should also remind unfamiliar readers that in Poland the better educated tend to vote for PO, whilst the less educated vote for PIS-as someone brilliantly demonstrated with a graph previously. And I take your point, it's quite sad that although Poland has a good government, the opposition is so abysmal and incompetent that it is not fulfilling its function of keeping the government to account.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, a very interesting insight. In regards to heritage, I believe that what is worth preserving will survive what is not is likely to fade away. In a way that is the natural order of things because societies constantly change. So what time frame are you putting on your next trip, or perhaps as yet you might not have anything concrete in mind.

That is BS. In Israel Orthodox Jews deliberately exclude Maths and science from the curriculum, only study the Torah and are not expected to work and what is more they expect their non orthodox countrymen to support their lifestyle and they are growing in number.

This not about the accuracy of the comments per se, she was making the point that the crash area was badly looked after by the Russian side (with people stealing stuff from the victims etc.) , which was exactly what Kaczynski and his people were saying at the time as well others. So for him to attack her now for these comments, surely this is a clue to the guy's mental instability, or is it the early onset of Alzheimers?

Poland does have strong foundations based on the Judeo-Christian inheritance, but it also has another inheritance concerned with religious toleration and freedom of worship-or non worship-as is guaranteed by the Polish constitution. Making one religion institutional in a country is quite medieval, for example like Anglicanism in the UK. In a true pluralistic society no religion should be favored at the expense of the others.

Well it was, the fact that he hadn't seen it that way from the beginning is just reflective of his level of intelligence. However the paragraph that caught my attention was the one relating to Ewa Kopacz. This is what he said: 'To minister zdrowia, która mówiła nieprawdę w tak ważnej sprawie jak Smoleńsk. Mówiła, że miejsce katastrofy było przekopane. Używała takich określeń jak hieny cmentarne. Pod tym względem chyba tylko Palikot ją przewyższał. I jeżeli zostanie powołana na funkcję, która wymaga zdolności koncyliacyjnych, to oznacza, że mechanizmy demokratyczne zostały sprowadzone do fikcji.'

In the light of what he said about Smolensk previously, how would you classify these comments, are they the comments of a sane person.

There is no historical evidence for this. The invading force was minuscule in comparison to the rest of the population. What did happen however was the migration of some Tatars to the country over a period of time to serve in the army, these people have long since integrated into the Polish population. Furthermore in recent history the Russians always stained quite big armies in Poland going back to some 200 years, that usually numbered some 100 000-150 000, it is quite plausible that some Poles might be the descendants of those Russians. The second proposition is just speculation, but it is far more probable than your hypothesis.

I can only describe this interview Kaczynski had with Gazeta Polska as bizarre. Not in the way you might think at first, but based on some of the stuff he has said previously and what he says now, I can only question his mental stability. Judge for yourself:

No it does not. However the fact that Palikot and PIS give the issue so much prominence, demonstrates the dearth of any real policy ideas among these two parties, that's why the choose to engage in silly symbolism instead of focusing on the real needs of the country.
