Po polsku / Polska miedzy Niemcami i Rosja. Zalety i wady. [512]


co ma piernik...? - żeby mieć agenturę trzeba mieć chętnych do bycia agentem albo podatnych na szantaż - w obozie PiSu moim zdaniem wielu takich ludzi nie znajdziesz

Po polsku / Polska miedzy Niemcami i Rosja. Zalety i wady. [512]


sympatia PiS do Orbana, Meloni i Le Pen nie wynika wcale z prorosyjskości tych ostatnich tylko z ich bycia antyestabliszmentem europejskim (nazwijmy to antybrukselizmem) i ich deklarowanemu przywiązaniu do tzw. Europy ojczyzn

a co do tego "nasycenia agentami rosyjskimi" to, hmm, interesujący pogląd (oparty na jednym niedawno ujawnionym przypadku?)

it means more or less the same thing as "Tam gdzie diabeł mówi dobranoc" (Where the devil says good night")

News / Poland's PiS party members and crime [346]


he had access to secret documents as a judge in an administrative court - he gained this (official) access back in 2012 afaik -

here's an article msn.com/pl-pl/wiadomosci/polska/s%C4%99dzia-szmydt-od-dawna-na-celowniku-abw-mia%C5%82-by%C4%87-rozpracowywany-przez-kontrwywiad/ar-BB1lXNnN?ocid=BingNewsSerp

News / Poland's PiS party members and crime [346]


he was a Russian agent/spy - the ABW started investigating him before the last election afaik - arresting him was considered by the ABW some time before he escaped (so yeah the first Tusk's ABW major failure)

Mmmm.. what? According to you PiS are Russian agents, or what?

News / Homosexual lobby steps up infiltration in Poland [110]


the divorce rate in America (afaik women are 4 to 5 times more likely to initiate divorce than men) is probably because of unrealistic expectations towards men on the part of women (in my opinion fuelled by modern feminist indoctrination - I read briefly about the waves of feminism and this recent one isn't helping anyone), coupled with the tendencies that you mention (women getting half of the couple's wealth, child support and alimony)

News / Homosexual lobby steps up infiltration in Poland [110]


I figured as much, to be honest

do you believe in reincarnation, Novichok? if you do then you should know why

News / Homosexual lobby steps up infiltration in Poland [110]


I don't know maybe it's just a specific sample of American women on the internet, but it looks like plenty of American women have unrealistic expectations towards men (mainly concerning money and looks) - or maybe I just watch not the right vids on youtube

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1024]


I can assure you that things you described don't happen in Poland (like jon said - I haven't heard of such incidents in Poland, either - unless we are talking about some war scenario -tfu tfu) - so yeah your comparison does not really make sense here in Poland

ok. after some thought: there used to be such things in Poland back in the 90's (abductions, gunpoint robberies) and early 2000's - however I haven't heard of any such occurence in the last 10-15 years (unless it was some gang violence but even gang violence is much lower than 15-20 years ago)

this just doesn't happen that much in Poland, for some reason

UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [264]


this is as much as I figured - didn't know about it not sounding very natural(?)

UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [264]


I see - still, their usage is etymological - shall meant in the past what should mostly means now as illustrated by contemporary Danish (don't know about Swedish and Norwegian) "Skal jeg gaa til skolen" (Should I go to school)

well, maybe you know something that I do not, but I never encountered it in this form, but rather this form: "Złapać dwie sroki za jeden ogon"

like: "you shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition"?

Life / Poland and the neighboring Baltic States [5]


I don't know about the volume of the trade - however many products made in Poland have descriptions in all languages of the Baltic states on the packaging if this is any indicator

Life / Poland and the neighboring Baltic States [5]


Lithuania is probably the most visited of all these and mostly Vilnius (Wilno in Polish) - one thing: proximity; secondly: Polish heritage - besides Vilnius, Lithuania is fields, forests, lakes and the Baltic - we have all of these in Poland

for Latvia and Estonia the main attraction for Poles would also probably be their respective capitals (the language barrier in the capitals is the least I would presume because more people speak English there - the national languages between the countries are very different - even Latvian and Lithuanian which are related are not quite mutually intelligible)

I don't personally know anyone who's been in these places, though - but I live a secluded life on the other end of Poland (though I have seen videos on youtube made by Polish travellers to Vilnius a couple of years back)

I'm far from being an expert, but shouldn't that read: "To catch(grab?) two magpies by one tail"

Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [340]


I guess then temperatures in the Wicklow mountains would have been much worse, Kildare is just next to the Wicklow mountains, isn't it (just nobody lives there in the mountains)

the temperature of -19 C was probably recorded somewhere in the mountais of Ireland like the Wicklows

Life / Primary Education in Poland - Changes Made to Homework? [15]


they are tests if the teacher takes time to check if the homework is done

also don't acquire a skill by simple looking (a lot of the time - I certainly didn't) - you need some training and this is what homework is for (unless parents are stupid enough to do their child's homework instead of the child)

Life / Primary Education in Poland - Changes Made to Homework? [15]


skills should be tested - within a 45 minute unit with 2-6 units per week how many kids can be tested in the class? - hence homework and in-class tests - having said that I can say that Polish kids could use a lot less history and geography lessons (especially history as tought here teaches the wrong lessons)
