Off-Topic / PF members MEETUPS.....everyone welcome! [122]

@Bobko

Weightlifting, climbing, diving, shooting, fishing - on top or creating and running a successful business! Where do you find strength for all that? Do all Russians have such energy? Hm... maybe this European NATO intervention in Russia wasn't such a great idea. :D

I used to do a bit of skeet shooting and target shooting (7.62mm bolt-action hunting rifles) with my Dad, as well as years of kickboxing and football but it was all ages ago. Got awfully lazy ever since I got married and these days it's only recreational walks and some good old bodyweight workout to keep in shape.

Definitely.

I'm not sure, however, if we would enjoy reading the final conclusions of such study haha

Off-Topic / PF members MEETUPS.....everyone welcome! [122]


Hear, hear.

If I were to choose a five-a-side football team from all the members, it would be...

First line-up:

-----------------------------------
Torq (goalkeeper)

Bobko - AntV

Bratwurst Boy - Ironside
-----------------------------------

Of course BB would suffer the most because with two Poles, an American, and a Russian our команда wouldn't have much chance for international success ha ha but at least we would have fun. :)

Substitutes:

Grunni
Amiga (but he would have to remeber it's no Aussie rules)
Velund
Jon357
Maf (to shout "come on, guys, destroy those f*cking motherfvckers!!!" when the things get tough).

Coach: Novichok (we need someone with gray hair and foul language on the bench - it will make us look serious as a team).

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]


You are preaching to the converted, Atch. I would really love to see Poles adopting Irish driving style but I wouldn't hold my breath. Hot Slavic blood, ridiculously high testoterone levels, Sarmatian ambition... what to do? Ehh...

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]


As someone who spent 3 years in Ireland and drove there for about 2.5 years, I can speak only in superlatives about Irish drivers.

They are cuddly, fluffy teddy bears behind the wheel compared to the overwhelming majority of Poles.

News / Germany eyes Poland's economic miracle [44]


Definitely.

Also, in Poland the chance of your child dying in a school shooting is significantly lower, as well as the chance of them becoming a drug addict or contracting HIV (not to mention drowning under a mountain of medical bills or graduating from university with a ton of debt). All in all, I would say that at the moment Poland is one of the best places in the world to live, and in 15-20 years time it is very likely that it will be the best place in terms of quality of life. Give intelligent people freedom, and that's what they do with it - they build a paradise.

The deciding factors in case of Poles are: diligence, thrift, self-discipline and overal cleanliness and order. We are the Germans/Swiss of the 21st century. :)

Or at home to a mirror, regardless of the time of the day. It's convenient, cheaper and when you're wasted you don't have to worry about getting back home because you're already there. Why a mirror? For company. Drinking alone is a sure sign of alcoholism and one wants to avoid that.

Właściwie to wszystko mi jedno. Szczerze mówiąc, ostatnio nie bardzo mam energię na bardziej szczegółowe zgłębianie jakiegokolwiek tematu. Zarzucam raz na jakiś czas temat w polskiej sekcji, żeby dział "Po polsku" nie umarł śmiercią naturalną. W końcu wypada, żeby na PF były jakieś wątki pisane w naszej pięknej polszczyźnie.

Co do ewolucji poglądów to:

1. Tylko krowa nie zmienia zdania.
2. Polityka wymaga elastyczności i giętkości.
3. Co do WAŻNYCH rzeczy moje poglądy są stałe jak skała.

Przy okazji - nieźle sobie radzisz z językiem polskim. :)

That's the one thing that extreme left and extreme right have in common - dislike of Jews and Israel. For me it means that the Israelis must be doing something right if both commies and nazis hate them. :)

Po polsku / Koniec Tuska [17]


No bo z tym Tuskiem, to zawsze jest tak, że "niby człowiek wiedział, ale jednak się łudził". Daje się mu kolejną szansę, w nadziei że tym razem będzie lepiej, a z niego i tak na końcu wychodzi kawał __________ . *

@PSL

Wychodzić mi z tej koalicji, Panowie, bo to wstyd.

Po polsku / Koniec Tuska [17]


No teraz to już tylko pół kadencji.

Tusk dał dupy. Czasami zdarza się, że w jakimś kraju rządzący przekręcą wybory. Mając do swojej dyspozycji służby, wywiad, media itp. są w stanie - jak to bywa na Białorusi czy w innej Korei - wygrać wybory niezależnie od tego jak ludzie głosują. Zdarza się. Ale jeszcze w żadnym, kurwa, kraju na świecie nie zdarzyło się żeby opozycja przekręciła wybory. Jeżeli coś takiego się dzieje pod nosem rządu, to znaczy, że premier jest debilem. Debilem albo zadufanym w sobie dupkiem, który sądzi, że mu słońce z dupy świeci (co w sumie na jedno wychodzi).

Większej kompromitacji dla Tuska niż wygrana Nawrockiego w wyborach nie można sobie wyobrazić. Dlatego albo Tusk powinien zaszyć się gdzieś na Kaszubach i trzymać z daleka od życia publicznego w Polsce, albo powinniśmy mieć przedterminowe wybory. Ten rząd przy wetującym wszystko Nawrockim i tak już gówno zrobi. Po co czekać dwa lata?

Geez...

And burgers done right-

Może w demokracji bezpośredniej, na wzór szwajcarski, ale nie w Polsce. Polska jest generalnie demokracją przedstawicielską, a elementy demokracji bezpośredniej, takie jak referenda mają miejsce sporadycznie.

By the way, I hope this new idiom catches on...

to go Paulina on sb - to severly admonish and rebuke someone under the mistaken belief that they were serious, when in fact they were joking

Example:
She went Paulina on him for the sarcastic comment, only realizing later it was all in jest.

Anyways, looks like the entire Israel-Iran drama is over...

There once was a man named Trump,
Whose stance gave opponents a bump.
For Israel he stood,
As he said that he would,
And dealt with Iran with a thump.

There. Courtesy of ChatGPT.

Hate to break it to you, Bobi, but "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" is probably (just probably) not the best slogan to win Polish hearts.


Also, I saw Italy related magazines in at least half a dozen languages all over Europe. Somehow I didn't notice similar periodicals about Russia.

As I pointed out in #716, Soviet Union aside from the real power had also certain amount of soft power to exert, at least in some parts of the world. Gold toilet sh*tters' putinist Russia has neither. That's why the current Russian government is such an abomination--they turned a huge country, rich in resources and inheriting the technological and scientific accomplishments from the Soviet Union, with amazing potential to get wealthy and exert cultural soft power all over the world, into a pariah state allied to and relying on weapon deliveries from North Korea and Iran. Russia's problem is not Ukraine, EU, NATO or GloboHomo; their problem is kleptocratic (on a galactic scale) mafia that rules their country.

But why am I stating the obvious here? Ehhh...


Such traumatic experience! Now I understand why you became a metalhead later in your life. ;)

Ha! Always good to have somebody with functioning brain at hand. Good thinking, BB. There were plenty of mixed families or even soldiers of purely German heritage (up to generals and admirals) in Wojsko Polskie in 1939.

Boring. Are you sure you're not copying these points from Młodzież Wszechpolska website?


... or PiS/Konfederacja websites?


OK, this one point is original but the destruction of international organisations can hardly be considered an interesting "offer for the whole world", can it?

Genealogy / Russian POW Camp records [71]


Are you sure it's not the other way around?

Krzyż Walecznych (Cross of Valour) was established in 1920 but awarded also in the WW2 period and later. The "Polska swemu obrońcy" (Poland to Her Defender) medal was a memorial medal for 1918-1921 war, and as far as I know no version of it was awarded for 1939 campaign. Let me check...

...

Hm... OK, looks like there was a version of "Polska Swemu Obrońcy" awarded for 1939 campaign but it was a communist medal, established in PRL (People's Republic of Poland), and you say that your grandpa moved to West Germany before the end of the war (which is rather odd as well for a decorated Polish soldier).

Strange history...
