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

Kaminski vandalised a memorial to war dead,

Harry you have overstayed your welcome. Siding with the Soviet occupier of Poland just take the biscuits. Go to the North Korea where you belong, you apologist for totalitarian regimes.

You guys are writing a lot of tosh here. Slogans and opinions.
Provide solid fact based examples of numerous crimes committed by PiS members. Falling that you would prove that you are nothing but circus entertainers.

When it comes to Kaminski his trials have been politically motived and he has been charges with some rather doubtful nonsense.

Unfortunately system of justice in Poland is highly undependable at large as it wasn't wiped clean after the Soviet times. Consequently the same people left in prominent positions, often some families and same mentality weights heavily on the Polish judiciary system.

Each year that attracted more trouble-makers

Polonius there are no more trouble-makers that in any given time in the past, you don't know what you are talking about.

Every event like that attract all kind of scum, it is the policy duty as they are getting paid for that to distinguish between those who are taking part in the march and troublemakers - until now it was the police that were creating problems i.e. attracting in the way one might call - provocation.

By seeking sensation and focusing mainly on violent peripheries they have attracted those whose only interest is a good punch-up and enabled the march to degenerate.

Really? Say who? Why you saying all those things when PiS is in power and you were defending march when PO was in power. edited

UK, Ireland / My bad experiences with Polish neighbours in UK (not meant to offend) [173]

I'm disappointed I keep hearing about Poles forming their isolated worlds in other countries.

Would be able to prove to me that you are Polish? Writing in Polish for example? I think you are a fraud who is trolling this site.

Until than I can be bothered to refute your silly questions.

true, generally Poles live in their own ghettos

Any reliable data to support your opinion?

What do you call the rich people ghettos? Enclaves.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

In that case you must be as daft as a brush......

That's me to the T.

but I think you're just proving the pudding by telling little porkies in order to be awkward again.

When fools are posting follies why would I make it easier for them?

But the division itself goes back much deeper into history

What division? Differences between kingdoms of the Europe Christendom? Sure there were plenty, all of them absolutely irrelevant to the issue debated here.
Western civilization is an euphemism for Latin civilization or Christian civilization.
Christian civilization slits into two branches of the same tree - western and eastern.
Western part consists from France on its western geographical end to Poland on its eastern geographical end. From Britan to Hungary, from Portugal to Finland, from Norway to Croatia, those are boundaries of western/Christian civilization in Europe.

All that talk about eastern Europe is a direct result of the two events, disappearance of the Polish Commonwealth in this part of the world and closer to our times subjection of the area by the Soviet totalitarian regime. End off.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

Thats true is very hard to generalise to al Poland, the eastern part is sure more "Russian"

Not really, Poland is a culturally western country with her own spin and branch of that culture/civilization. What dazzle many laymen talking about Poland are unique historical experiences and a fact that Poland didn't exist during 19th century which were formative century for new nations and old nation alike.

Belonging to a culture group or civilization do not require uniformity if anything right know so called western countries are diverging from their own roots by adopting a viral cultural heresy some people call neo-Marxism other progressiveness.

No melting pots between geographical directions.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

for food and language, Eastern Europe

There is no Eastern European language either.
As for food, there are no eastern European food, the only reason that cuisine in few countries in this part of Europe is somewhat similar is because of the Polish Commonwealth heritage.

for religion and alphabet, Western Europe

There is no western European religion as there is no western European alphabet.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

except for urban well off and educated classes is culturally (including food, but not only) closer to Eastern Europe

Poland is not France that is not a brainier Capitan Obvious, I would take any day dumplings over fried snails or frogs, that disgusting food, why don't you put in flies for a good measure.

Most Poles also physically look more Eastern Europeans

Sunshine, there is no eastern European look like there is no western European look, you according to your own snobbish western progressiveness standards are being racist. I don't care about that but I'm always ready to point out an obvious hypocrisy and double standers deployed by our holier than thou PF snobs.

I think that an average Pole and an Albanian differ in many things including "looks."

what about all the old women outside main cities wearing colorful headscarves?

Again, so what? Look at your own movie stars from the 60' silly goose. There are not uniformity - that is a good thing, don't you think?

Why Poles don't like to be put into Eastern European shoes?
It is quite simple really:
1, because graphically Poland doesn't belong to eastern Europe,
2, because culturally Poland doesn't belong to eastern Europe,
3, Poland culture is basically western.
Poland stopped to be under the soviet boot 25 years ago, evidently it is not enough time for westerners to get used to the new reality, they rather remain stuck in their own rectum claiming that their own farts are smelling sweet, much sweeter than fresh air.

So be it.
Live and let live. :)

You don`t

You said that you are contend to be a slave, after that declaration your opinion doesn't count, simple. Go back where a good slave belong and don't disrupt your betters with your chattering.

Daily life here was extremely hard before the building of modern infrastructure.

Sure dough, there were no roads, no trains and buses and no cars in Poland before 2004, people were ridding donkeys to get from point A to B. You are getting increasingly ludicrous.

History / Time for Slavic Commonwealth around Poland as center [223]

Lithuania doesn't have to be part of it, cannot really until would grand an autonomy to Poles in Wilenszczyzna.
Czech doesn't have to participate in it either, but I think they will.
Russian is not a part of that project. Serbia as Crow says is all for it.
Bulgarians is a possibility not must either and they are not too distant. Slovenia are a big qestion mark but they are not nescesse4rily needed.

The problem is that all these countries are guided mainly if not exclusively by their own national self-interest

That the idea, that project is based on national self-inters of particular countries, the best platform for them to realize it would be in the framework of intermarum.

Work / English teachers in Poland - why are they so unhappy? [89]

I don't want UK-levels of paranoia here, but it would be nice if a criminal check was required for every job that involves contact with kids alone.

It should be obvious to anyone but then school are looking for cheaper rather than checked.

History / Time for Slavic Commonwealth around Poland as center [223]

and what about Miedzymorze as parliamentary monarchy?

Don't think so, it would be rather like confederacy of states, some like EU, some like NATO, some like consensus what would be the best and what is needed.

Vatican don`t recognize separation of Kosovo from Serbia.

Definitely without common currency.
That would have to be solved before by Serbia, miedzymorze will not be a platform for Serbia to take back their stolen province, no.
