Good, pity that only five left!

Another day brings another splendid example of nepotism and corruption from within PiS.

Nah, it proves that German owned media in Poland are PiS focused. All examples of after mentioned corruption , criminal negligence and incompetence in the rank and file of PO and PSL have been swept under the carpet by the biased media during previous eight years

Which criminals? I thought you were supposed to be anti-Communist Ironside, so calling someone a criminal before they've been convicted in a fair trial is...well...

What are you talking about Delph. I'm not taking a part in their legal preceding or a part in the investigation I can call them whatever I like to call them in the same way you are allowed to talk about president in such a disrespectful way.

Cut down amount of manure you produce on his forum posting such a rubbish.

So please don't even try to comment if you haven't got a clue what this was about.

I'm on this forum on and off for about seven years so if somebody has no clue how this forum works that would be you. As to what it was about I know perfectly well what went with you. Somebody called you stupid and you deemed right to retaliate in the same thread and that was your mistake, here you can do it in the random thread or by pm and you better remember that. It'll will make your life on PF easier.

No point in sulking or debating with mods - literally!

@Labrador 'while they did not get anything'.

You can't know that, can you? Instead of all that drama learn to accept that some people disagree with you.

you have no rights if you are not Polish and strictly Catholic

BS! You need to learn not to post off-topic, you can respond/defend yourself or whatnot in the random thread.

I served in Polish army, have you?

FFL! Doubt that but even if that is true it makes no difference. You are still a dick!

I am not trying to be malicious but I am confronting fake attitudes that seem to be in fashion today.

No, you are being a judgmental prick and you are usurping position to make judgmental about people about whom you know nothing. . You are confronting nothing here you are mouthing some utter nonsense.

Russia

Yes your true love.

Who are you exactly? Nikt!
You remind me a member from a few years back. He was as cocky and so full of himself as you until one day few 'mates' of his kicked seven shades of shy@@te out of him. After short spell in the hospital he was a different man, a better man I would say.

News / Poland to return to Catholic tradition? [177]

Actually I'm talking about getting a vasectomy, something illegal under Polish law.

So the correct answer is that you haven't been refused medical care in Poland. What you are talking about are certain medical procedures that are illegal in Poland. That is a different kettle of fish don't you think?

It's just not possible to get one legally here, due to some Catholics insist on forcing their beliefs down the throats of others (

No, Harry those are laws that reflect those values that Polish society generally adhere to. If you have problem with that you can always change your home address and climate for one more suitable for your testes ....ups I beg your pardon!... for your taste.

Poland bans certain medical procedures on religious grounds.

Medical procedures don't equate with medical treatment. You aren't talking about sex change procedure are you?
Let me rephrase my question. Have you been refused medical care of your illness or injury on religious grounds?

There's long been a healthy contempt for the behaviour of the church, and the RCC in Poland is currently very problematic.

Nah, you seemingly filed to understand that relation between the RCC and Poles that has nothing to do with religion per se. I'm talking about something that Poles have in common a certain consensus about the role of the RCC in the Polish culture and history.

Those who don't partake in that consensus are a foreign implant in the Polish culture, mainly of the soviet origin. That break is visible in every sphere of activity and correspond with political divide in Poland.

It's not that you're forced to perform anything, it's that your civil liberties are interfered

Would you be able to provide specifics and tell me which civil liberties in particular are as you put it interfered with?

For example look at situation regarding IVF treatment in Poland.

What about that treatment?

A State should not impose an ideology upon their citizens

Not your concern mate! The same goes for all and sundry foreigners who are trying to impose their ideology upon Polish citizen in Poland.

News / The dossier of TW "Bolek" - Poland's IPN assisted by police enters the home of the late general Kiszczak [306]

Now don't be so naive.

All that info about Wałęsa is nothing new. Personally I think that that spectacle unfolding in the media is redundant. That man plays no part on the political scene in Poland. He hasn't been involved in anything remotely resembling a real political activity for years, nobody cares what he has to say. There was no need to expose him in this way.

He is in the world for bad or worse a symbol of the Solidarity movement in Poland, I would just let him be, provided he would stop forthcoming with opinions about political situation in Poland.

More interesting is how Jaro Kaczynski got out of internment whereas the true dissidents

That is just something I would advice against i.e. slander based on individual political sympathies or lack of those thereafter. It just the worst kind of gossip.

Lech Wałęsa, Adam Michnik, Jacek Kuroń etc had it so much harder.

Did they? Somehow I don't see they had that much harder. Has somebody wrote a comparison study on levels, degrees and tiers of the hardship which particular members of the opposition faced while in the custody of Jaruzelski regime? Adorned with humorous engraving and with charts and diagrams.

I would think that prominent or know in the west as dissidents have been treated better than some obscure or unknown to the public members of the opposition.

I don't think that Adam Michnik has been treated badly. After all he was defending Jarzuleski saying or writing famous - "F@@ek off from the general!" Also he said that a person in change od his imprisonments "Kiszczak is an honorable man". I would think that such an attitude would indicate he remembered his time behind bars with nostalgia and found memories. Unless the man is a masochist he was apparently having a time of his life.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

What is decaying (and they absolutely can't stand this) is the inward-looking, rooted in spurious tradition, and largely derided neo-Endek tendency that JK and his gang are very much part of.

You have it all so wrong that it is funny. I'm not by all means PiS supporter but yes I supported them against PO and the system. I don't support them because they are devoid of those attributes you describe to them.

They are not Endek they are socialists, they are pro-EU, they are USA ass lickers, democratic and so fourth. The only reason is that they are patriots and adhere to the Polish history and don't embrace progressiveness.

You being from aboard and all filed to grasp what the Church mean in the Polish history and for Poles, being on the good side of Church is a police move as the large chunk of their constituency expect that, the same goes for so called gays rights.

You are looking at PiS from a completely wrong angle hence your skewed view. To make it easier for you to comprehend what it is al about any center-left party in the west from about 40 years ago. Not that that comparison hits the nail on the head but it give you at lest a glimpse of what I'm talking about.

If it comes to Endek's they are aplenty of young and a very young people organizing themselves and setting themselves for the next stage in the oncoming decades - win elections and set that country on the right path.

I have a major problem of them wanting to use the coercive power of the state to make non-catholics follow specifically catholic doctrine

Duh? Those people who are Catholics and who are voting in elections expect from their representatives. Acting according to the will of their constituency is called democracy - a concept you seem to have a problem to grasp.

Yes, but in this country you aren't

Really? I dare you to name a one thing of a religious matter that you are forced to preform!

if it's revealed that Wałęsa was a paid informer, then it means that *every* figure in Polish political history is now under suspicion

Sorry to burst your bubble, there is no needs for ifs or buts, every figure in Polish history should be under suspicion including Walensa. Those who are rising to his defense ( as it has been quite clear for some time that he is less than heroic and hide many a skeleton in his wardrobe) are doing that only because he was/is a one of pillars the post-communist system that hopefully comes to an abrupt and infamous end.

Without video of those signatures being made, those pieces of paper are slightly less valuable than the copy of the gospels I have which has been signed by the authors.

Harry it is not about your claims and your posts on PF, those things debated above are a serious stuff in the real world. Now run back to your mates they are building another castle in the sand without you.

that nothing is 'revealed' that in any way reflects badly on anybody involved with PIS.

Come on, spare us your ridiculous notions, what the Kiszczak's widow has do to with PiS? Nothing at all.
You are posting the mind boggling nonsense on this forum.

So what? Everyone entitled to their opinion. After from a certain point of view Sorbs are closer to Poles then Germans. According to some Silesian are German. Anyway isn't that a theoretical question as there are few and between Sorbs.

Mirosław Garlicki

He was without doubt corrupted.

Ziobro and self-confessed criminal Mariusz Kamiński held aa press conference to announce the doctor was a murderer,

Nah, he announced him responsible for his patient dead due to malpractice. He would have been found guilty in the USA but in Poland he walked scot free, doubts remained.

Anyway he wasn't harassed and what more it had nothing to do with politicks.
The only criminal is that judge who passed that idiotic and nonsensical sentence in the case of MK.

Look at the IPN fiasco last time round and Wildstein's List.

Such a thing as the W list is just a humbug. What IPN fiasco?

It's normal for PiS to use the security agencies against perceived enemies.

Hmm you mean PO who has been harassing more than one person, some even have been arrested for years without trial on trump up charges what is against the law.

Name one person who have been persecuted during the time PiS was in charge and who proved to be innocent?

It's not me that they should worry about, it's how it will be reported abroad that they should worry about

If they would be worried by a small issue like that that would be no a chance for such a base in the first place.

If you read the media, he wasn't being investigated.

If you believe them that is. I would think that involvement of the CBS in this case would warranty that this is about some heavy stuff. (they are kinda Polish FBI)

Still, we all know how America will react

We all know that you don't like PiS on principle, you don't need to be so obvious about it.
