Polonia / Why do Lviv & Vilnius look nicer than Polish cities? [16]

hopeless ruins left by communism

I had been devoid of hope for a decade or two after communism collapsed until I saw to my great relief that anything can be improved.
E.g,, 1970s house

News / In increasingly chaotic world, diaspora of Poland moving back to Poland an masse? [71]

I am not Polish enough

Holy words. After 40 years abroad, you are not Polish anymore. You can be of Polish origin, that`s all.

when commies'

But you fully colluded with commies before you defected to the West and then settled in America 40 years ago. They only let you out of Poland after you signed an agreement of cooperation with communist secret services - you were supposed to inform on anticommunist Polonia in the West. You chose freedom and defected. Good but don`t pretend such a patriot today coz you are none.

While Rustejko forbearers

BS. Stop spreading tall tales.

No, you don`t understand cultural language coz when I used it, you started peddling insults. So I lowered myself to your level for a while and I see it worked perfectly coz you got the message and duly reacted. Ha!

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

so it's history now.

No, history becomes itself after years or decades at least. History means that sth happened and is no more what it was. While the youth and politicians who participated in the Campus a few days ago are still the same as they were.

your problem is.

My problem is that you abuse history which is magistra vitea.

Polonia / Why do Lviv & Vilnius look nicer than Polish cities? [16]

when one architect screwed, it's impossible to fix it.

I also thought so having in mind hopeless ruins left by communism. However, I saw to my great pleasure that everything can be improved. You only need money - that is the only problem.

Ordinary Poles have no idea what his big problem is.

Exactly!!! This is Poland, the country of cultural people and apes! Not like that mad US! Ha!
I am so glad I live in Poland. Leaving the US in 1991 after a year stay was one of the best decisions in my life. Otherwise, I would become such a maniac as you or Novi. Thank you very much!

This thread has evolved

No, there was no evolution. You made a revolution in it. Please, get back to your initial intention here and start a new thread for current events which haven`t become history yet.

Language / Cultural disparities shown through Polish and English languages [195]

language of the Kielce region.

Not Kielce but Silesia, ciulu! I am using this language after realising my cultural utterances are lost on you coz you don`t understand them. Ha!!!!

Vulgar is not a problem

Of course not. The difference is that Ptak uses vulgar language with pleasure and satisfaction while I always feel reluctant as a cultural Pole. But sometimes it is the only way to pass the message to Ptak.

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]

Germany under Scholz has become Ukraine's largest European supplier of aid

When?? Only after the pressure on Germans became unbearable. Remember the time you became the laughingstock with your pathetic helmet supply?? German elites expected Ukraine would fall within 3 days.
And after you came to your senses and sent a lot of aid, now you are planning to cut those Ukrainian expenses to zero.
An AfD government would stop all aid to Ukraine

Don`t tell me about AfD. Tell me about CDU! Would they cut the aid like SPD?

when AfD Germany prefers Russia

But Scholz Germany also prefers Russia. Secretly you crave reviving the old business with Russia as it had been before the war.

So, my BB, Scholz or AfD is all the same to reasonable Poles and Polesses. :):):)

The AfD says "Thank you"!

Stop blackmailing us with your own domestic problems, please! Germans voted for Hitler in 1933, not Poles or Polesses. Also, it is Germans who will vote for AfD in coming elections. Why do you want to shift the responsibility or even blame on Poles and Polesses????

.who needs strategic, long term thinking

Don`t be silly. Strategic long term thinking was appropriately put in action when the Stream was blown up. hahaha buhahaha.

History / Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread [950]

@Ironside

The problem is that YOU don`t need Ukrainian immigrants coz you have your American pension which is enough to provide you basic subsistence. But millions of Poles and Polesses don`t have it so they depend on young people`s taxes into the budget. Thanks to PiS rightists` and your nationalist murderers` crazy policies towards women, less and less babies are born each year. That is why we need immigrants.

Can I ask you to stop talking on behalf of Poles and Polesses coz you are an alien body here, returning to Poland after 30 years of useless life abroad???

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [324]

There is crime, so there is punishment!

Here is the full amount that PiS may lose.

First, the party must return the entire amount questioned by the National Electoral Commission, i.e. PLN 3.6 million, to the State Treasury.
Secondly. The subsidy for parties to cover election campaign expenses is reduced by three times the amount of PLN 3.6 million, i.e. by PLN 10.8 million.
Third, the annual party subsidy for PiS will be reduced. By how much? Also by three times the amount of PLN 3.6 million. In four years of this term of the Parliament, it will be PLN 43.2 million.
In total, PiS is going to lose 57.6 million zlotys.

Travel / What is the weather like in Poland where you are now? [211]

Climate change is developing.

There are many indications that the heatwave will not end with the arrival of September. What's more, it is possible that the beginning of meteorological autumn will be hot in most of Poland. In some places, in the first week of September, we can expect even 33 degrees Celsius. This comes shortly after a very warm August.
