News / Dirty deeds of foreign guys in Poland [128]

A guy from Uzbekistan was attacked by two Ukrainian teenagers in the forest park and defended himself by stabbing them with a knife.
An unusual situation occured, though:

Why was the 26-year-old interrogated only after several days? The prosecutor's office pointed to a problem not so much technical, but - in its opinion - practical.

- There are very few Uzbek language translators in the country. At the moment, from what I know, there is not a single sworn translator of this language in Poland. Fortunately, the participation of a sworn translator is not required for the interrogation. An Uzbek language translator is enough - the prosecutor explained in an interview with tvnwarszawa.pl.

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


Prophetic words from Aug 2023.
Currently the Polish gov is seriously considering closing all border crossings with Belarus. Polish Pres warned the Chinese about such a possibility during his recent visit.

fakt.pl/polityka/czy-polska-docisnie-bialorus-zamknieciem-granicy-lukaszenka-sie-boi/k99q7gk
Recently, it has been noticeable that the number of attempts to illegally cross the border with Belarus has decreased. As "Bloomberg" writes on Wednesday, July 24, this is related to President Andrzej Duda's visit to China.

"President Andrzej Duda used his state visit to Beijing in late June to link the issue of migration and freight transport across the border with Belarus," Bloomberg wrote, citing people familiar with the content of the talks.
Poland has threatened to block a key Chinese rail route to the European Union as part of a diplomatic move aimed at slowing the escalation of the migration crisis on its eastern border, Bloomberg reports.

The actions of the government and the president are aimed at easing the migration crisis on the border and at trying to free Andrzej Poczobut, among others. China's pressure on Lukashenko may prove to be crucial here.

News / Does Polish hotel have right to turn down Americans and Israelis? [79]


Not Palestinians but Palestinian terrorists from Hamas and other. While Nazi Israelis are sending their state army to commit mass war crimes in Gaza so it is state sponsored genocide. See the difference?


If I were the owner of a small hotel like my wife`s cousin in a mountain resort in southern Poland, I would accept Israelis only on condition they sign a declaration of protest against their Nazi regime.
And Americans only on condition they sigh a declaration of support for Kamala.

Yes, zmarł/umarł is the past form of infinitive umierać. While the dog doesn`t die in Polish, it zdycha. But it sounds akward or even brutal to many pet owners including me and I have never used it. That language expert is a real attention sicker to stir the pond in such a way.

Yes! I have never met a woman who delivered at home. Once it was definitely more popular. My father`s mother worked as a midwife before WW2 and she assisted women at their homes.

That rightist which Trump chose for his vice is crazy. He once sniped at Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk who had duly critisized Reps for witholding aid for Ukraine.

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

The Polish language allows two verbs for dying: umierać is for people while zdychać has always been used for animals. But things are changing and certain celebrity language expert caused a huge scandal recently when he publicly critisized using the human term for animals. He is an incorrigible attention sicker.

Life / Polish women fight for their rights - manifa and other events [306]

Another women`s street protest. This time not against PiS rightists but against the democratic gov who aren`t able to give women their rights coz there are too many conservative guys in it. Such was the choice of voters and nobody can`t change it right now - only new elections could.

Women are enraged by the recent Parliament`s vote which rejected to change strict anti abortion law.

wprost.pl/kraj/11761887/dostalo-sie-giertychowi-i-psl-goraco-na-strajku-kobiet.html
Marta Lempart, an activist and co-organizer of the All-Poland Women's Strike, spoke at the demonstration in front of the Sejm. "We won't give up. You got your seats thanks to us. So now give them back if you don't like the electorate, if you don't like the views of the electorate. You're f***s, not democrats! You recognize a coalition by how you vote, not by who quietly signed with whom," the activist shouted from the stage.

"Some of us promised Polish women during the election campaign that their rights would finally be respected! They voted for us in the hope that they would have the right to decide for themselves. Dear colleagues and parliamentarians, do not make women wait any longer!" wrote Joanna Wicha from the Razem Party.

History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [515]


It wasn`t liberation but another occupation. The Nazi occupation was replaced by the communist occupation. That is what Warsaw Rising heroes were fighting against.


In late 1970s they started publishing magazines called WW2 and described the events in chronological order. They reached Warsaw Rising in mid 1980s. Each magazine had a few dozen pages, with detailed explanations and many photos. I found a lot of interesting info on the Rising in that magazine.
