What do Poles owe to Czechs?

hatred of PIS

Darling, it is not hatred but pure truth when I wrote:

Some Poles complain about empty shelves but they are narrow-minded idiots. Probably voters of PiS.

I returned to the article where I had first read about the campaign of a local council member who protested against Czechs buying items wholesale and leaving empty shelves in Polish shops.

And guess what, darling! He had been voted into the office as a ritard candidate. Ha!!!

Isn`t it amasing that I detect ritard azholes from the distance of hundreds of kilometres only by reading about their idiotic behaviour???? hahahaha

You don`t know Polish so have this article translated in Google:

and this page too

We should be grateful to Czechs for their historical choice of a sensible president in latest elections a few days ago. A former army officer, he defeated his populist rival who cherishes some pro Russian sentiments, while the new President - quite the contrary.

It happened in 966.

or am I wrong?

No, you are not and it was important that christianity come to Poland through Czechia and not directly from Germany.

Indeed, it showed that Christianity can be spread among slavs without the need for bloodshed. As compared to Germanic peoples, which halted the legality of military expansion in to slavic lands for religious reasons. If anybody think it's not important then look at the fate of Balts and Finni-Ugric peoples at the hands of Germans, Danes and Swedes.

Not only a right move to embrace God and join the Christian community as a group, but also important to reduce the options of the most expansionist hardliners in Germanic nations.

It only changed to large degree after protestantism was introduced and the unity of the church was tried to be destroyed by the protestants which lead to the opening up of Russian expansion based on Orthodox church schism.

In modern times now, politicians look mostly cynically towards religion and it's influence on diplomatical relations, interests of financial supporters and votes of the people are more important to them, strangely enough banks are having troubles left and right now, people are more and more apathetic towards the worst parts of governments running things as they are.

So in short, Poland owes the Czechs a Great deal

Unfortunately, there are very few Catholics in Czech Republic today.

Say what? About 40% of Czechs are Catholics, and I never had problems finding a Mass on Sunday even in smaller towns.

The percentage of practicing Catholics is definitely much lower, but to say that "there are very few Catholics" is an exaggeration (to put it mildly).

40%

Mr. Google is sure that only 5 % of Czechs are practicing Catholics.

Czechs are famous nihilists. Czechs believe nothing. It's enough to read Kafka and HaĊĦek to understand this is a nation of heavy drinkers and jokers.

However, I have never seen so many empty churches as when I was in France. Truly only the very ancient were present.

Practicing is the key word, and I made this reservation if you read my post again. However, about 40% are formally Catholic. That's hardly "very few".

Back on topic edition 12.

We owe to Czech journalists a latest comparison of prices of groceries purchased in one of popular chain supermarkets. They visited Lidl markets in Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Germany and Austria.

Of course, Polish Lidl offered the lowest prices of all.

Czechs perfectly know about it and come in droves to do shopping in Poland. There is only one item which is cheaper in Czechia. Guess which one. Of course beer.

Czech journalists point out that only Poland has a zero VAT rate. They also note that even if our government did not decide to make this move, and the rate of 5 percent was introdiced, it would still be cheaper in Poland than in the Czech Republic, where the tax is the highest and amounts to as much as 15 percent.

I owe to Czechs gas in my tank, rolls and Czech beer....and milk and Edam cheese and sometimes some sweets. That's all.

Edam cheese

That's Dutch.

Czech beer

This can be good, but is mostly made by big conglomerates.

Edam cheese

Czech tastes different somehow, better for me.

Are you going to fight in the Kursk region???

That's all.

Still much more than me. I don`t remember when I saw sth from Czechia.

But I do remember they produced awful chocolate in 1970s. Polish chocolate was delicatessen in comparison.

Today they produce "Studencka" chocolate, it's quite good, and there's also beer, supposedly the best in the world.

Alien, supposedly, is the word. Do you believe Okocim and Zywiec are inferior, or are they locking in aggressive advertisements?

Okocim and Zywiec

The most famous Polish beer in Germany is Tyskie. You could say that Germans are crazy about it. When it comes to Czech beer, I like it best in its simplest form as "jasne svetle". It is not bitter and has less alcohol.

I'm not familiar with that. I only have a beer once a month, my wife liked Okocim, and Tyskie has been occupying space in our fridge for the past few months without anyone to drink. Interestingly, it's sold in four-packs rather than the usual six.
