News / Previous Poland's government corrupting the media. [125]


I'm not saying that companies should be controlled by a government. Except maybe for strategically vital industries - depends on a country and circumstances. No matter.

What we are talking about is some tax which may or may not be an attempt at bringing some TV stations under gov control. If that is a case it is:

a, a very dumb move
b, one that will end in a failure.
On the other hand as far as I know media market is overrun by foreign companies and a capital. I wouldn't mind if they would just scram.

I would say that it is an attempt on the part of the gov to look for some new ways of getting more revenue.


Dude is that even an argument? Who cares? By the way because media in first world countries are controlled by practically unaccountable oligarchs.
Not that much different from Russia.
I would say differences between first and third world countries are down to much more detailed and complex issues that who and how control the media.

Nowadays the most important one the Internet seems to be controlled by the lizard people..... it should be regulated by the law of a country to keep monopoly of corporations at bay.


Well people are more stupid that they are given a credit for, Also that is my opinion not a nonsense.

Oh but I have, not about all of them mind you, but it stand to reason if one or two can get away with that all the rest will be doing the same.


Their are ah-les but they are domestics a-les. Poland doesn't need some foreign a-les added to the pot.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


I do. I believe it has consequences if someone want to sue someone else they should be able do that. You confuse a lawsuit with a censorship.

Anyway it is all theoretical as in the EU there is no freedom of speech.


ah but the war it was their joint project, they very much enabled and instigated the WWII with their fascist kin. Soviets' were a good ally with Hitler till 1941. Wouldn't that be three years of the war - for some. ?

News / Previous Poland's government corrupting the media. [125]


Do they? I'm not sure they do. They say their do but I have heard from a good source something entirely different.


There are not independent mediums unless you are talking about a direct gov control. When it comes to foreign owned media I couldn't care less about their status or problems or taxes. They shouldn't be operating in Poland anyways.


Because they would wield undue influence over public views and sympathies. They could and would (are )sway people to mold Polish gov and Polish laws into a shape much more favorable to their interests! Without any regard for the Polish national interest or for the welfare and wellbeing of the Polish people.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


The way you talk about it makes it look like you are asking for some exception or a privilege just because they are academics.
Academics or not their works and their ethics should be open to a scrutiny. Even law suits.


Because they have such a mindset , a collective mindset that doesn't recognize individuals outside of their class or gender or what have you.
They were involved very much at the time. ( I guess you mean WWII)

News / Previous Poland's government corrupting the media. [125]


No it isn't.


If they cannot afford to pay taxes they should leave ....


Independent from what? and tax them not close them and if that ist their aim, nothing will happen this is PiS and Poland.
By the way they could take away their license if they want to close them so no need for them to go all around.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Yep, there is such a segment in any society and its called - wait for it - criminals. It must be a surprise for you, eh? As you have been born yesterday.


Do not talk about something you have no clue about. Lets talk about commies and their collective ideologies and views.
( How can you be wrong almost every time? that is some kind of an achievement per se,. )


F them? Why are they worthy of an exception? I support freedom of speech for everyone!
On the other hand you support it only for those who agree with you and who belong to some special category like academics. It makes you a hypocrite.

News / Previous Poland's government corrupting the media. [125]


The very idea of Governmental TV could be questioned/ I have a feeling that you question it because PiS is in charge. In that case get over it.


Most of those 'free' media are owned by the foreign capital. It is only right they should pay some tax.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


You must be unaware. There is not doubt that Poland is guilty one way or the other. Otherwise all that noise in the NYT and here and there wouldn't be on the menu - not to mention an extorsion.


Wow, OK just for you. Post - war Poland was a mere pawn of the Soviets, forced into submission.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


So what? I mean what is your argument? You think it was so therefore that is the correct version by the virtue of your want? Eye witness could lie. Couldn't they? Do they remember events from 70 years ago well? Maybe they are dead and all you got is hearsay. You want to play? That is the game that both sides can play.


There is. There is a German 'version' and there is a Jewish 'version' and there some other 'versions'. Some are less biased and truthful than others.

Currently there is a one 'version' that is prevalent in the west - the Jewish 'version'.
As usual so called historical truth is a victim of political and financial greed. Nevertheless if a one is so inclined it is possible to find some truthful summaries of those sad times.


Hey there is one and only approved version of the Holocaust.
Don't tell me you don't know.
Everybody and sundry are guilty or guilty by association except for those countries that hold too much political, financial and military cloud. Ergo Poland is guilty by definition. No wonder really you should know that reality delph if you are weak they will bully you as they can get away with it.

Can you blame naive people in Poland and their attempts at talking about such trivial unimportant details like the truth, facts and context? Not to mention Polish victims of the death camps.

I look at this 500 plus as a way distributing wealth more evenly. Instead of being absorbed by foreign and domestic gangs or wasted on some BS gov spending.

Let face the current suite of politics and so called elite is not able to fight they way out of the shoe box. Let alone solve layers upon layers of problems and issues that beg to be solved.

Ultimately that 500 plus issue is just another much ado about nothing. Same as TVP or yapping about the RCC. Merry go around and so called opposition is as bad if not worse than PiS.

JK officially gone senile and lost all sense of reality. his creatures with an exemption of Gowin are going from bad to worse and each is fighting each other hopping to end on the top.

None have any chance.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Some old ****. By the same gang, are they angling for yet another extortion? Somebody should put them where they belong - behind the bars.


What investigation? There was no investigation. IPN read some papers on the subject - that all. By the way you are off topic!


Don't let yourself be riled by jon, he spews a lot of BS and insinuation. Not to be taken seriously. As a commie should be deported to the NK.

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [148]


Stop backpedaling like a weasel. You know and I know what you posted. Only for some reason you want to pretend it was something else. A good natured concern about a state of religious awareness amongst the clergy or some other weaselly nonsense like that.

The bottom line here is that you have problem with that priest having a nice car and that is that. Prolly cause you are jealous.

Envy is a sin. lol


I have been diagnosed with ptsd but that was about 20tish years ago and I'm doing fine, thank you.

Law / House in Poland - heritage problem [4]


still, it will be costly and pointless in my opinion. The best she can hope is to have to be paid off by her cousin or whoever..


Depends if she in the mortgage register it could prove difficult if not - she can do it. \
The best curse of action is to sell it off and split the money between them.

how many children and grandchildren he had?

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [148]


Don't you understand what you are saying? Is English your mother tongue, Maybe your ability to think is in question.?
If there is nothing wrong with a priest owning a car, why mention it? Why comment about a brand of a car about money better spend and so on?

Wouldn't it be due to a fact you think THERE is something WRONG with that? huh?


Maybe, I don't know him. I wouldn't judge him by his car to be sure. A fact he has a nice car is not a sign that he is greedy.


With what? I admit I have little patience for nonsense and silly bias. I have a temper you see. You on the other hand sound like a shallow weasel. A person that is a difficulty to have a civil discussion with.

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [148]


WTF? You sound like some ignorant peasants. what teaching? huh? You confuse monks with priests. plus a car is needed for them doing properly their job. What the f A big deal about it?

I just look at people like you being shafted by governments, big corporations and all kind of scammer or commies and mostly they just roll over and take it up their backside and like it, at the same time their yapp at religion or the church.

I know and I always liked that about you. Even if sometimes your take on thing is rather outlandish. I believe thought you can bring to the table some slightly different perspective and that is valuable.

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1049]


I don't swear that often plus I use euphemisms, I don't think it is a case of - as you put it - taboo words. As I find it to be more emotionally gratifyingly in those rare instances that I do swear.

I wonder why is that. I mean I would expect the reverse would make more sense. well...

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1049]


I swear in English even if I speak Polish... wonder why...hmmm


Nah, that is word crutch for those with poor vocabulary and kurwa can mean anything from a strong swear words to a mild exclamation of wonder..

Hence i think it can be safely translated as F .... the same flexibility of usage depending on circumstances and intent.

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1049]

Psia krew, cholera. As with swearing and such there is no literal translation as it wouldn't make much sense. Google translate should do if you the trick if you want a literal translation.

More diverse and generally aligned with European trends. Mind that popular means in fashion but most of the population would follow easy route, a short cut for boys and men, young women favor long and lose until they got a job and then they do with their hairs this and that...


How does that info pertain to your BS?
