Yes, that`s the year when nationalist communists decided that Polish Jews were a threat to Poland. About 10.000 Polish Jews were forced to emigrate. They received a special document for their travel - one way "passport".
That was a huge loss to Polish culture.

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

Poland needs exotic immigrants coz some Poles/Polesses dream of having such a partner, also for life.
Hence my proposition: the state controlled influx of 5000 migrants from Africa per year.
We can discuss if it is too few or too many. I am open to your suggestions and opinions.

Here is a story of a Zimbabwesian woman who came to Poland and married a white guy:

Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [340]

I mentioned it several times that I love how Goddess plays tricks of variability on us - humans and apes. Each year is different when it comes to fruit crops.
E.g, this year, cherries and grapes were abundant, while mini kiwis are scarce. Last year I offered packets of mini kiwis as a nice gift to multiple family members, workmates and friends. This year, a small packet for the vet who had treated our Black Pearl depleted one plant of all its fruit. Amasing!

Of course. But we need the first stone that will start the avalanche. First vodka, then oil, gas and everything. Until barbaric Russia collapses..............

Language / Which books do native Polish people in Poland use to learn Polish? [72]


You should choose Mein Kampf. You will like it a lot and read a few times, I guarantee. It is about your fave Nazi Germans who saved you from mad Polish insurgents in 1944. hahahaha buhahahaha Ale witz!!!

Or go for the Introduction to Psychopathy. Reading it, you will understand yourself better. hahahaha buhahaha hohohoho I can`t..........
Drugi witz! To mój rekord. :)P):P):

Language / Which books do native Polish people in Poland use to learn Polish? [72]

Now a riddle: how does the story end???

Language / Which books do native Polish people in Poland use to learn Polish? [72]

I must admit that books for kids in my childhood were neutral on communist ideology which means they never mentioned the communist party and its leaders, Soviet Russia and other satellite states, let alone praising or encouraging readers to support them.

There was one common thing in those books, though - they promoted noble behaviours among youngsters.

E.g,
In 1970s I read a book: The Brave Go Out at Night. It is a collection of short stories by Marian Orłoń. The first story which gave the title to the book is about 3 boy scouts who leave their camp at night to explore a deserted ruined house in the middle of the forest. While breaking through the vegetation, they discover a roe deer trapped in poacher`s wires. They let it free but the animal has a broken leg and can`t walk. After a heated exchange, two boys decide to come back to the camp with the injured animal even though they know they might be expelled by the chief for insubordination coz they left the camp illegally. The leader of the group continues his march to their destination. He says: I prefer to spend my vacation at a boring scouting camp with a strict chief rather than be bored in a dull block in the city.

Extremely inspiring story for me as a boy.

Life / Polish authors, books & literature. [125]


Another inspiring credo from the same book. It functions as a traditional saying in the family of the village blacksmith who are hard working people:

Do today what you are supposed to do tomorrow.
Eat tomorrow what you are supposed to eat today.

I must say I adhere to this saying quite often. Yesterday I came back from work very late. Instead of having dinner, I started mending a cats` litter box which had broken during the day.

Another thing - can you stop swearing in Polish in the forum? I can`t open such threads on computers in my schools due to blockade on foul language. Think before you act.

The Staff improved the photo display interface so now they appear enlarged when clicked. Good!! Excellent move. Such photos are still manageable for our eyes and don`t burden a thread.

This reminds me scenes from the National Stadium a few years ago. The match was delayed and some bored fans entered the pitch and played chase games with stewards.

Probably not. Just like they aren`t to Polish youngsters. When I play some funniest scenes to my students, they remain completely indifferent. That is why I feel so old in school today.

The last hint: the farmer who cultivates the field next to mine had harvested his corn which had had a bad impact on the individual which I saw later on.

Feedback / I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing [337]


Not really. I already explained it a few years ago when my original photo riddle thread was closed and a new edition was created. Today we have edition No 3. A few of my other threads were also closed and continued like that.
It is a result of the thread becoming too bulky to handle by the forum`s engine.

Get used to it. The rule is simple - long heavy threads with a lot of photos or direct Youtube embeddings are archived.

PS. Kania, the only thing you should do now is kneel down and politely thank the Staff for retaining you as the originator of the thread. :):):)
PS.2 - This new thread also has a much better title. Thank for it, too. )::):)


There is hope such threads won`t be so thick. I can see the engine was modified and it automatically resizes all posted photos down to size 275X183 and weight 8.85.
But...
Quite a minimalist solution. It makes less sense to post pictures now coz they are so small and indiscernible. Pity.

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [96]

@Crow
Exactly!!! This quote shows what azhole and loser Duda is.
Translation:
It is very interesting that President Andrzej Duda does not report anywhere that he was at the celebration of Miloš Zeman's 80th birthday yesterday. In addition to Fico, Orbán and Vučić, the event was also strongly attended by Czech communists, populists, pro-Russian politicians and disinformants.


That German scum on Russian payroll?? Fekk him too!

Let`s bring it back:

Feniks suggested a lynx.

No.
hint - it also walks on all four like a lynx. it is aggressive when threatened like a lynx. it has fur like the lynx.

Feniks suggested compost bins.
no. in such a bin, waste would rot nastily instead of decomposing naturally. i don`t think i would find much pleasure in scattering such stuff onto the field later on... :):):)

Jon suggested a badger. Sorry, no. Mine is much smaller.

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [621]


yes, and those youngsters are witnessing the genocide that nazi israelis are orchestrating on palestinian or lebanese civilians. as a result, new fanatic volunteers are going to join terrorist organisations and the war will never end.
it will last until the destruction of israel. nazi israelis can kill millions of arabs or persians but millions will remain. in the opposite direction, when arabs and persians kill millions of israelis, there will be very few left.
pity that israelis and their nazi gov can`t predict such obvious events in the future. they will pay dearly for their blind stubborness.

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [96]

There is a huge fault in your logic. it wasn`t mr honourable prime minister reverend donald holy tusk`s threat. he is a too decent and intelligent statesman to publicly say such stupidities. the threat was used by another leader - kania`s fave. peasant azhole, sort of. :):):)


An amassing situation took place: zeman said that duda`s presence at his party is the greatest gift he could receive and started looking for the polish guest around the room but couldn`t recognise him though duda was standing nearby. it only shows what azhole duda is in fact.

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [96]


yes, duda`s presence at the suspicious event like that corroborates my previous words and general opinion about him: azhole, puppet and clown.

zeman, babiš, fico, orbán, vučić are not a group in which the polish president should publicly appear in a perfect mood. if only because almost all of these politicians are accused of authoritarian tendencies, destruction of basic institutions of liberal democracy, populism and corruption. in addition, they form a pro-kremlin - and often pro-chinese - axis in our region, more or less openly speaking out against the sanctions imposed on russia and against european aid in ukraine.

in the most vital issues for the polish raison d'état, they are fighting for solutions that strike at poland's key interests. they are pursuing a policy that is radically at odds with that promoted on the international forum by andrzej duda - who consistently supports sanctions against russia and aid for ukraine.
