]Cargo is my friend

You've never met him.

You seem to be repeating the same posts between threads. And it's still 7am where you are...

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [156]

@gumishu
That's the same for me. Caffeine levels are generally far lower in tea, especially if it's weak tea as it's usually made in PL. If you drink stronger tea that's brewed longer, the caffeine content will be higher though still far less than, say, espresso.

Green tea seems popular in PL. Personally I dislike it however it has positive effects.

What do you think of microgeneration, especially by farmers?

I really have no idea

You really ought to.

You sound angry

If anything, Roz, you're the one here who's sounding angry....

teaching EFL.in Poland?

You're about 20 years out of date with that.

I'd suggest going for a walk and maybe smoking a j.

You sad little man.

You drug addled overprivileged underachiever.

Trying to fish for contact information on behalf of someone who wants to wreck someone's career and life is the lowest of the low.

Fortunately it didn't work. Fortunately for you.

If you are waiting for real life to happen...it's been a long time now hasn't it?

It happens, and I have a lot of downtime waiting for stuff. Sometimes it's better to be online than doing crosswords.

I just don't want to hear your

So don't read it.

What on earth

You know perfectly well.

You don't need to repeat it

Why not?

Interesting that you suddenly care so much about the appalling human being that is Deepak yet say nothing when he gets abusive to others or tries to wreck their real lives. You even helped him. I forgave you since I figured it out right away and gave you false information; the emails from him to the address I made and gave you on PM still arrived though. Trying to wreck the careers of others may seem gratifying to someone like yourself who's never had one, however behaviour like that when it affects people who came up the hard way is a whole other level of cĂșntishness.

You would do well to hold your tongue on this matter.

This forum.is actually your life isn't it?

No, it's just a mild diversion while waiting for things in real life to happen.

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

didn't go to Paris,Lyons or Marseille....

Two of those three. Migrations inevitable, however the thread is about Belarus.

Europe, with the exception of the UK is swinging to the right.

Generally, when that happens there's a backlash and things move towards the centre. It's looking brighter for the U.K. though. One interesting factor is that we've never been one of Belarus' major trading partners. Most of their economy is tied up with r*SSia.

There isn't one. Stop whining.

Life / Polish church music versus African-American gospel [29]

To take over

Take over from. Not take over, little Cherry Pie...

Yes, overwhelming Roman Catholic

Not during the reformation. As mentioned, there was a great deal of flip flopping. On a parish level, the illiterate serfs wouldn't have noticed. On a national level, the horse trading lasted for two generations.

you are not Polish either.

He can't hold a conversation in the language and has never lived in PL or can even afford to visit.

The thread is about church music though, not an incel's Lefebvrist fantasies. He probably doesn't realise how much more traditional the Sunday worship is in PL that he's probably used to. This is in part due to JP2's key role at Vatican 2 when he was the Bishop who most strongly promoted the idea of the local church and partly because of the Iron Curtain being up during the peak period of liturgical experimentation. That and the rural/urban split.

Nevertheless less, radical groups like the NeoKats are very big in PL, especially in the cities.

gossiping

This from you!

It's not 'gossip', it's cold hard fact. There was even something from his wife posted here, giving his current address for anyone who may wish to write to him.

If anyone deserves not to be cut any slack, it's him. He is a wretch..

And you. You should know why, given what you tried to do.

One happened already, and from the state of him the other can't be that far away. Still in hospital now and it's several months ago that he was admitted.

Most Protestants on Polish territory were German-speakers

So in fact you don't know. We are talking about Polish people. Germans were less likely to have to flip flop according to their landowners.

As far as Polish nobles

Magnaty? Some changed affiliation several times during the reformation.

I'd say what is banal is the misuse of the Novus Ordo

This is key. It varies from place to place.

If Catholics in Poland wanted to become protestants they would have centuries ago.

Many did, however they weee dragged back according to the political affiliations of their local magnaty.

Surprising you didn't know that...

Cause I never get an answer.....

From whom or from where? Perhaps there is no answer.

He's probably the smartest politician in the region (the potato moose shtick is an act)..

That's true. Have you seen his sons? Two middle-aged potatoes with double figure IQs and a 20 year old from the second marriage, bright as a button, film star looks and being groomed to be the successor. Currently either in Moscow learning God knows what or in Beijing, but possibly in neither. Depends which account of his whereabouts is accurate.

An unsustainable process

Yes. You've said all this before at least a dozen times in threads about it and (like this one) not about it.

The question is, what to do with Lukaszenko.

using force

Normal enough.

They're pawns in Putler's evil games, however it is incumbent on Poland to behave more decently than r*SSia.

how the current model is sustainable and there's never an answer

Probably because there isn't one. Migration will only increase over time though.

all your claims

He doesn't have any. All p1ss and wind from a proven disreputable character who likes to dish it out and tries to get nasty when it comes back to him.

I always do.

I was ready to vote for greens

I wouldn't touch them. Anyway, the main decent parties all support cleaner energy.

Sustainable energy is a good thing though. Microgeneration is a nice earner for farmers, and doesn't leave kids coughing their guts up from the coal smoke.

You don't 'think' at all. You just try to argue pointlessly about things of which you know nothing.

Why not Google it if you're still pretending to be interested.

There are commercial solar farms in places with duller weather than PL.

Now what we can do to Lukashenko and his cronies?

Wait until he dies.

He's grooming his youngest son for power (the older two are potatoes and frankly stupid) and has sent him to Moscow. Taking the son out may help however it's unethical. With Belarus, just wait; there's nothing there.

Kabab is everywhere and schnitzel is difficult to find

People prefer kebabs to greasy bland schnitzels.

If in Poland we tuned it up a bit , it would be more interesting and more ppl would come to church.

Something like this would do nicely and bring something new to most village churches.
