History / Pre-war or today's Poland? [50]

So the data will be from 2000: a lot has changed in 13 years.

Considerably so, not least the fact that Poland has developed a hell of a lot of IT talent in the last few years.

Poland is quite low on the innovation scale

I think it's scary that people are paying you to write about Poland when you come out with things like that.

History / Pre-war or today's Poland? [50]

The tight-knit family, the role of the Church, respect for tradition and patriotism are what the real Poland is all about.

That's not what I see in Poland every day. Are we living in the same country at the same time?

The role of the Church is decreasing daily, Poles couldn't care less about tradition apart from when it suits them, and as for patriotism - when was the last time you followed the definition of a patriot?

A person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.

You abuse Poland almost daily on these forums.

Law / Opening a Polish Bank Account by a foreigner in Poland. Recommendations. [299]

So, you mean to say u're below 26?

Nope, normal ING Direct account. Unless I'm on an old account that isn't available anymore...

I tried to work out the Mbank fees and as far as I understand you have to also use their card with a minimum amount per month or receive a minimum amount per month. Howerver I won't be using this account regularly and only little money will go in and out (The main purpose of the account being kind of pocket money account and if I want to buy presents and my other half should not see where I buy stuff) :-)

Go with ING - it's by far the best offer. I see you have to use your card for 200zl, not 100zl a month - but still, that's not very much :)

News / The feud between Telewizja Republika and TV Trwam [18]

It's strange why Polonius hasn't bothered to post this, but this caught my eye recently and I thought I should share - it's a letter from Rydzyk about TV Republika.

The more you preach: Poland - the more let us look at works

I wondered whether to inform you about a certain issue. I decided to introduce her to you to seriously consider. We know that television is formed republic. They met with me people representing the medium and they asked what I thought of their initiative. I said that every good that is created should support and Poland can be compared to a big car. To this car is going, you have to go all the horses pulled.

But I have my doubts and decided to share them with you. Firstly, if this TV is an independent, I ask where to place a satellite? I have been informed that they have been obtained for free from the owner of Polsat. What is independence if you get the free space on a satellite, space - which costs a lot. What are the great affinity of this world, let everyone guess. Let everyone He looked, well back.

The second president of marketing of the television - the editor of "Gazeta Polish" - one of the first interviews for the station posted on the website of Tomasz Lis. Everyone knows the ratio of red to Tomasz Lis patriotism and the Church. Besides - if it is worth - how red Tomasz Lis treats President PiS Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Such an environment is going one (newspaper editor), which is called a Polish and a "mouthful of Polish culture."

Encountered a situation that came up to us two people who said they were from the club "Polish Gazeta" and said: "We no longer need a TV Trwam, we have satellite Republic".

Why do I say this? Currently, organized marches in defense of TV Trwam. I would like us all to act together, but whether this cooperation, however, is possible with everyone. You can not mix the order. You can not mix different values. For me it is an important relationship to God, the Church, Polish and all patriotic movements.

There has been a demonstration in Głogow. They arrived at her well-known people who were calling for watching TV Republic. Is not that play on the emotions of people, patriotism, the love of the homeland?

I know that today will be a manifestation of such in Ostrow Wielkopolski and I am very sorry that the founder of "Band from over Baryczy" announces that during this meeting will be handing out leaflets and calling for watching TV Republic. Is this the right time when we are fighting for TV Trwam? Or maybe the idea is to rozmydlić case and say - and so we have a right-wing TV?

One more thing. Who is the president of the TV? Good to know.

Weekly "Our Polish" has prepared an interesting article which read yesterday. Despite the fact that it is a very brave article, it would not all has been revealed. So please - let's think. I am the editor of "Gazeta Polish" I have some things past, but the present. I recently wrote a book in which so to speak "nips" Radio Maria - but as I said, those who have read the book - about the owner of Polsat is not in the word.

I would be very careful. The more you preach: Poland, the more let us look at deeds and who and what it is doing business on.

Thank you for your attention

Father Tadeusz Rydzyk CSsR

It's quickly put through Google Translate, so apologies if it sounds rubbish - I'm not good enough in Polish to be able to translate it fairly.

Can anyone give more details about why Rydzyk and TV Republika seem to be feuding?

Life / Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]

Why not make it the same? Because it would be completely illogical - the system works according to need, not according to population. Don't forget that some large works that Poland can afford easily cannot be so easily afforded by smaller EU countries, hence why the per capita figures tend to be a bit distorted.

Anyway, per capita, Poland is still in the top 4 of beneficiaries. I really don't see much to cry about, unless you want to attack the EU and are using any means possible to do so.

not per capita

Which is understandable, given the large population of Poland versus many other countries with significantly smaller populations.

Still, in the real world, we count in actual numbers not some vague idea that Poland is worse off because she doesn't get the same amount as others per capita.

If you want a real life example : I got four large boxes and about 100 A0 posters - all teaching materials - from the EU last week. Certainly more than I've ever seen from anyone in Poland.

The Church in Poland has already been trying to twist the Pope's words - after he said that the Church should be for the poor, quite a few within the establishment tried to claim that it didn't apply to them.

Many other so-called non-profit foundations earmark only a small amount of their assets for charitable purposes and eat and drink away the rest and even feather their nest a bit as well.

Could you perhaps tell us what percentage of the Lux Veritas Foundation's costs go on charitable purposes/

Life / Taking my Right hand drive car to Poland - is it allowed by the Polish authorities? [17]

Beware the drunken cyclist too, they are completely unpredictable

This is the biggest danger in my opinion. Driving here is fun for the general lack of enforcement, but drunken cyclists are an absolute pest.

I fully admit to having nearly hit one in the middle of the night - no lights, no reflective clothes, just an old alcoholic cycling between villages and swerving all over the road. To this day, I'm not sure how I avoided him, or how I avoided not throwing him straight in the ditch afterwards.

Genealogy / All Future Polish Genealogy Researchers: Please Read before you start a thread [45]

It wasn't nothing. One example of that happening.

Austria. Czechoslovakia. Estonia. Latvia. Lithuania. Montenegro.

The list is endless. Trying to (yet again) spread the myth that only Poland has suffered is utter nonsense.

If you talk about Poland completely disappearing from the European maps, I agree.

The Kingdom of Montenegro might disagree.

Ukraine disappeared from the maps (with a little help from her neighbours).

Can't say that Harry, it might imply that Poland sold people.

Study / Review of the Poznan University of Economics? [18]

The content of these courses is often hilariously irrelevant too, as the university gets anyone halfway capable in English to teach whatever they can.

I imagine a degree from a Polish university would be all but worthless outside of Europe for most people.

USA, Canada / Anglo-mangling of Polish surnames in the US/Canada [22]

2. Correct each Anglo-mangler until the correct pronunciation sinks in;

This is what people with foreign names do in Poland.

Changing it because of stupid people is absolutely idiotic. I have a golden rule - can't pronounce my name? I'm not doing business with you.
