News / TVP producer fired for allowing rainbow flag on the air... [244]

You've just summarised TVPiS...

Actually i haven't. Those are just promotion for the ruling party, really badly made propaganda. I haven't noticed even one totalitarian ideology or any ideology for that matter...

Who decides which opinions, and how do they decide?

I think I have already answered that one - in a healthy society with a common set of values exist unspoken consensus as to what is and what isn't acceptable. As to who - the majority of country's elite.

Isn't LGBT, progressive neo-Marxist ideology trying to do that as well. Rewrite DNA of western Society and impose its own values as a fundament.

The thing is their ideas and ideology are not only artificially created and very poorly at that and it won't work - i..e sustain any kind of healthy society.

It only looks good now as it is kind of a parasite ridding on basically unchanged society. It can claim that all shortcoming and difficulties derive from that old patriarchal oppressive civilization. Thing is if humankind would have been tailored and deeply rewritten according to the progressive scrip the reality would be much much worse than all that exist now or transpired in the past.

There would be only two options either a totalitarian bloody regime in charge or the chaos of anarchy and tribal/sectarian warfare...

Some ideas ar

Are **** from the start no but s about it. If crappy totalitarian bad ideas are being promoted it is only right to cut them off. One has to be a dunce delusional conceit ignoramus to embrace it in good fate.

the PRL and Hitler.

Those bringing up PRL or Hitler just show to all they don't have any real arguments at all. They should just publicly announce we are dumb leftie dunces and who disagree with us must be worshiping Hitler. Mindset straight from kindergarten.

fear of even acknowledging different opinions

Same opinions are not even worthy of acknowledgment. I get were you came form but for it to work it must be supported by a network of a healthy society. IF there is no balance in a society or consensus of common values is broken that free contest of ideas won't happen. As you can see happening in the USA.

Instead there is a terror of PC and one and only correct set of ideological beliefs to fit it all. If you diverge from it or have a different opinion you are going to be banned, slandered, attacked and dehumanised. So just wake up and smell the coffee maf, you sound terribly uninformed.

News / The ruling party in Poland tries to take American owned TV news station off the air [528]

If that was their plan.

Look their 'plans' are shambles and it was rather obvious that such a pathetic 'gambit' is not going to work. The main fail of the Polish major parties is their inability to use think-tanks, work out a strategy, set priorities, asses risk and so on...

The main thing they care is to secure victory in an election and keep up with polls. Their policies are rather random.
Is not that there is no people or even groups that have a very good ideas and they might even push for them but there is no system or organization within a party or a country that would asses and promote them.

Suck up to JK and you are golden.
I would say that there is a lot more issues that need to be addressed in Poland than some TV station. Thing is those old men (mainly JK) in PiS think TV stations are that key they need to ensure their victory in the next election.

You're not going be doing any serious business (with us)

AS IF Poland need it. lol!
Those low key administration workers and their petty warnings ( let me guess the state department - do they have a special office that issues those kind of threats, just curios) - I'm sure they work on morons like those in Polish politicks but in the light of USA agreeing to the north stream, and Poland interest they can just go F themslefses, It is not as if Poland depended on imports from USA or really needed those tanks.

It is a good thing if they won't sell them, a blessing in disguise.

News / Polish universities for Polish students (only?) [57]

Foreigners, go to hell!

Dude that is not the point. The problem is in a fact that those foreigners are going to study for free in Polish universities that are paid by the Polish taxpayers. IF they would have to pay a tuition fee I don't see a problem. I doubt anybody would...

If they however are to study for free and on the top of it Polish taxpayers are to pay for their accommodation there is something wrong with that don't you think?

Rightly so! Why would they take on foreigners from a foreign country that is not even a part of the EU. Why>? There is no reason or sense in that!

Those places are paid by the Polish taxpayers.....
All those universities in Poland should introduce tuitions fees... that would solve the problem..

He should get at least ten years behind the bars, loose his car and to pay a substantial compensation to the family of the victim...Those who used connection to shield him should be exposed and if they hold any public offie they should be kicked out immediately.

They buy them because

They think that wili curry a favor with US adm that how immature they are... Those money are wasted...

it gives them a false sense of security with Russia when in practicality it would take Russia just a few weeks to role over Poland.

Nah, they couldn't roll over Ukraine what make you think they can do it with Poland. Not now..

Poland is counting on who for protection? Germany?

To be honest I don't know with those immature politicians. I would think that all that time in NATO would be used to prompt up Polish military and economy to the point where Poland could count on itself

Polonia / Which country is better SPAIN or POLAND [118]

Scotland but it seems a little similar to the traditional Catalonia Madrid dynamic

Catalonia is a province, Scotland is a country an a nation bonded by a union with England in a away that never addressed England's overwhelming numbers and economical power in fact Scotland become a tail that has to follow the dog - England.

I think there lays the reason for underlaying anti-English sentyment
. For not being treated like a fully fledged partner but an underlaying.
On the other hand it could be less about factual treatment but more about some complexes as in Poland and Literacina union even though their interests oft took precedence they still harbour resentyment or it is because nationalists in today Litwa don't understand their past? Questions.....

It was embarrassing and unbecoming of a President.

Who cares? Most people in Poland's politicks are not fit for purpose....

Poland's politicians, on all sides, are immature politically.

I have been saying it all along.

The US is not in need of Poland.

Nah, Poland is a key country in eastern Europe without Poland US can forget about that region ...they do need that region too to have Europe securely in their grasp.. if you say USA doesn't need EE you just say it.

I say IF they really don't need it they can just bugger the F off now.

So, next time

I don't care, in politicks there is continuity if your gov policy is schizophrenic due to an internal strife you need to sort yourself out not expect others to be forgiving - that is ABC of politics, it doesn't include pointless emotional rants to fill your day so I guess you wouldn't know anything about it.

Poland begs America,

Hey not my fault dude and not in my name. If I would find myself in such a position I would have had told them plainly what I think about their action and attitude. No buts about it...some things are better left unsaid but some need to be put out there. otherwise they take you for a pushover or a beggar.

IF USA doesn't see a merit and their own interest in supporting Poland - that is that.
No biggie Poland has other options and if lead properly not by those twats in 10 - 15 years time it will cost USA big time to have what they about to lose. If they will be able to afford that at all.

Duda was laughed at in the US w

By whom ?democrats or their supportes i.e. people who wouldn't give Poland a time of a day anyways? Who are all for forcing LGBT and all other progressive BS on everything? Well they can laugh all their want they are arrogant morons anyway ...

Trump wasn't doing Poland any favors but he was really good at securing USA interest in this part of the world. Do you think you can f with China without being firmy secured in eastern Europe, or that Russia or Germany comes to the rescue - think again not in the long term, they hate your guts and will turn on you give a chance.

The US odes not need Poland, but Poland definitely needs the US.

yeah I;m sure so bugger off where you came from!!!
Just don't came back to beg on your four when the table turns, USA is not longer a dominat power, say a goodbye to the world domination - time to adjust your attitude!

JK is from a bygone age he is of PRL breed - he is old news, PO is the German option so time table for insanely pro USA gov in Poland comes to the end.

And state run TV is perfectly fine as an advertising branch of the ruling party?

Yep, it has been run that way most of the time, PO and then PiS just made it more obvious in a crude way due to sycophants..

I mean it is not even that bad as you can turn it off or listen to a different TV station or Internet.
What is bad are companies like Facebook and twitter which present themselves as a platform of communication between people and yes they get their money by taking advantage of those people and make money on advertisement providing data and so on ...but what really dangerous about them is turning political and censoring political views ...that step too far

You are ingoing it all and focus instead on some lone TV station which is full of propagand so bad it turns people away from PiS.

You must be akin to jon an old commie full of BS.

get no further work with TVP

Well that is their right as the employer. Facebook and twitter cenzor people all the time as their are just privately owned companies. Haven't seen you going after them...

I don't know the details and you don't know them either. IF they was something she did on her own volition no harm in showing a nutter and a hypocrite for what she is...

If that was a part of the plan and producers was on it ... that it is the only right they stopped using his services.

I suppose knowing PiS that were just sycophants acing up to suck up to JK. Nobody asked them to be that way, they are natural butlers like pawian.

History / Did Poland bring on its own destruction in 1939? [71]

You get up.

Well in that case France and Denmark (an exmaple) weren't occupied by Germany. . You call yourself a genius I think you are on opposite side of the spectrum.

a man from Mars know that Poland was "occupied" by the Soviets?

Lets ask him. Is he your secret friend?

object to using the terms

Who are you to object? You can express your opinion but that about it. I don't care what an American think about it. Mind your own business.

Look Soviet occupation wasn't better than German occupation in any shape or form. Was different with different altitudes and aims.
We can argue about details pro and cons but there is no need. However I cannot agree that Soviet occupation wasn't real one or much better than German one.

German one was a war time occupation. When you talk about Soviet you are talking about later stages of their occupation. The initial stage of Soviet occupation wasn't that much better or less barbarian or genocidal than German one. Sure 12 - 20 years in that occupation wasn't so brutal anymore but to say what you say one has to be like you talking about you gut feeling not about reality.

News needs to be free otherwise it is just edited propaganda.

Well that what we deal here , CNN is the best example of edited propaganda which is the most hypocritical at the same time because they claim to be the most free and objective.

roblem renewing the license by your standards.

I think that TV stations and radio station as well as newspapers shouldn't be owned by a foreign entity..
As to all practical and minutiae issues about the issue I won't comment as I don't know them ...I used this opportunity to express my firm believes on the issue of ownership of mass-media as stated above.

History / Did Poland bring on its own destruction in 1939? [71]

To normal people going about their daily lives,

Define normal!
To do that you need some kind od a template you compare it to. IF you compare Soviet Poland from 1956 onwards to Poland under German rule in 1939 - 1944 that yes there was a difference but it doesn't mean that Poland wasn't occupied by the Soviet Union.

It only means that ways, aims and goals of those two totalitarian regimes were different when it comes to Poland. The length of occupation also need to be taken into account.

German occupation of France or Denmark wouldn't fit your template either of what occupation entail if your template is Poland under Germany during WWII.

Do you claim that France (a part of France) and Denmark wasn't really occupied by Germans.????#

See there is the reason I say that your argument here is extremely stupid.
You have something in your mind you can't even formulate properly - you make a half-baked statement and then you defend it with a bunch of wiki quotes not because you care about them but because you want to support your gut feeling about an issue. To make it sound thought out. When in fact you didn't think about it much or at all.

You just blur out your opinion basing it on your gut feeling and claim that is a statement of a genius
No wonder people call you a dumb ass and just give up on you...
Do a better job next time will you!

the hate of Russia is a mental disorder here

That is a crap that is thrown around by as-holes that sit safely on the other side of the world. The only thing Russian they have to deal with is a mail order bride from Russia if they are lucky.

In Poland people intuitively differentiate between Russians and the Russian state whichever form it takes! Said Russian state is a messy, inefficient in most fields, authoritarian crappy regime that can't be trusted at the best times.

Especially by those who border it or are not as strong.
There is nothing to admire there, they put all the work and resources they have ( vast land mass and many ores) to maintain their existence as a power. They have nothing left to spare to improve their lives and their country because all the activity and potential is constrained or corrupted in ways that makes Russia not a very nice place to live for so called 'normal' people.

If you choose to call it hate then it is you that have a serious mental problem and this a given.

Polish collaborators

Well if occupation continues after a war for 40 years as it was the case then number of collaborators or some such would naturally increase. It doesn't make it less occupied if that is your claim..

History / Did Poland bring on its own destruction in 1939? [71]

My take is based on the fact that I lived in Poland till 1966.

So what? Even if that is the truth, you haven't seen much have you, you haven't seen Soviets dress in 'Polish' uniforms in high places, you haven't see lone soldiers of underground surviving out there - you haven't seen AK people leaving prison after 10 years or more or coming back from Siberia.

You were petty much unaware of those facts that were happening around you.
so how the hell you dare to make such assumption based on the fact you haven't seen fully armed Soviet soldiers or tanks on every street corner..

I mean its fun and all to debate finer points of what actually 'occupation' means and which definition should we apply to a purely academical question but what your point beside being an argumentative grump?

Occupation - that word convey the fact that Poland was a subjugated nation with a puppet government created by the power and might of the Soviet union force. That same administrative positions and policing were relegated to locals means nothing and change nothing.

Not a single person. Ever.

Sure if they would they could find themslefses inside an interrogation room. Beside if you take 1960' as your reference point that was a new generation brainwashed by Soviet education and propaganda to a large extent.

Anyway could you please stop bringing up some anecdotal evidence as that is not a real evidence at all. Also when you talk about it you contradict yourself so much that it puts in question all you claimed about yourself.. Not that I care but still if you make it too obvious I'm tempted to abuse you rather that talk with you.

he US was and still is occupying Germany. E

That is what many Germans claims today/
Beside that USA occupation were not the same as Soviet one due to different natures of those countries

are they trying to mess with the license.

Well, the bottom line is that is their right. Whoever invested tinto it should have taken it into consideration.

ome blowback from the US if this continues

Its Biden and democrats, there is nothing good that Poland can expect from them..
As for foreign investment I doubt that will make firms back out of Poland.

Regardless TV station and such shouldn't be in foreign hands.
