Do you want to hang them on a street lamp post according to your far right nazio traditions??? :):):)

This is democracy in a pill. Swallow it coz that`s what most people in Poland want.
You don`t like the pill, don`t take it. Simple.
But do not restrict other people in their life choices.

INSPIRING POLISH AUTHORS AND THEIR WORKS [TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH]

The excerpt below has been an inspiration to me for decades, since I read it as a child. Edmund Niziurski wrote books for young readers and one of them was The Book of Urchins.

Main characters: Karlik Rudniok, Wiktor, Stefek Gola and their dog Ciapa.

To make the story short, boys decide to explore a closed old mine. During their stay there, somebody blows up the barrier which separates the mine from an underground lake and water starts flooding the corridor they are walking. They turn back and run away from the lake.

Soon everyone realized that the danger was mortal, and doom was closer than they thought. The water was already up to their knees and pouring into shoes. It was getting harder to run. Their legs were numb from the cold, and sweat beaded on their foreheads. Deadly tired, they supported each other so as not to fall. Soon the water was up to their hips.

- I'm not going any further - Gola groaned. - We'll never get out.
- We'll get out! Do not be afraid! - Karlik panted. - Just a little bit more, Stefek.
Gola was shaking all over and his eyes were wide and mad with fear.
- And what if it is a blind tunnel?
- No, it's definitely not a blind tunnel - Rudniok repeated stubbornly.
Minutes of terror passed by. The water rose constantly, as if someone somewhere above was constantly pumping at the same pace. But it seems that the fate of the unfortunate victims would be resolved sooner than it seemed at first. Because suddenly a new wave came - the water level immediately increased by about ten centimeters and began to rise at a new, faster pace. Apparently, the deeper corridors were completely flooded and the entire mass collapsed onto the tunnel along which the boys were walking.

The impact was so strong that the boys fell face first into the water. Karlik dropped Ciapa. The dog went under the water, but immediately surfaced and began to move forward briskly, beating its paws. The boys also came to the conclusion that it is better to swim than to wade through chest-deep water. Often on hot July days they would run to the Faithful River and splash in the water, then lie down on their backs and the water would carry them downstream until their backs hit the shallows. Did any of them think then that they would have to swim under a huge rock cover, through an underground corridor, in the dark? and icy water, in a fierce fight for life?

Only one Gola continued walking with a lamp on his shoulder.
Finally the water rose so high that it was no more than twenty centimeters away from the ceiling. In some places the wave was already crashing against the ceiling.

They realized it was over...
Gola leaned against the wall and breathed heavily.
Karlik, noticing that the light was falling behind, looked back at him.

Life / Is a prescription needed to get morning after pills in Poland? [35]

On Thursday's vote, parliamentarians adopted an amendment to the act on emergency contraception, i.e. the so-called "morning-after pill". According to the regulations contained therein, it is to be available without a prescription for people over 15 years of age.

421 MPs voted. The vote was 224 in favor and 196 against. One person abstained. Thus, the Sejm adopted an amendment to the Pharmaceutical Law Act. According to the regulations contained therein, emergency contraception in the form of the so-called "morning-after" pill is to be available without a prescription for people over 15 years of age.

Towards Truth.

The truth is that Russians aren`t mentally European, they are Euro-Asian mongrels by character.
Another truth is that Ukrainians have chosen prosperous Europe and the West instead of deteriorating corrupt Euro-Asian Russia. And Russians are doing their best to prevent that.

And what is your own personal Truth, Bobbie, who supports imperial Russia but from a safe distance, coz you prefer to live in rich America, the biggest enemy of your beloved motherland???? Huh???? Tell us.

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [324]

revive the farms ruined by PiS bolsheviks.

Read about the recent story of the farm in Janów Podlaski. Can you imagine that PiS bolsheviks made a whole series of executive replacements there - the farm has had 7 (SEVEN) PiS bolsheviks managers for 8 years.

In the years 2000-2016, the president of the stud farm was Marek Trela , who had been associated with it since 1978. During this period, the stud farm enjoyed a high reputation in the world, and Arabian horse breeders from all over the world came to its Pride of Poland auctions In 2015, the stud farm achieved a record profit of PLN 3 million .

From February 2016, as a result of the decision of the PiS government minister, Marek Skomorowski, an activist of Solidarna Polska , who has no connection with horse breeding, became the president . During this period, the stud's prestige declined, and there was a scandal related to the death of two mares at the stud belonging to Shirley Watts, the wife of Charles Watts .

Already in June of the same year, as a result of a contest announced by the Agricultural Property Agency , prof. Ph.D. Sławomir Pietrzak .

He lost his position in March 2018 and was succeeded by Grzegorz Czochański . He failed to rebuild the stud's position, and he was also accused of offering the best mares at the Pride of Poland auction in 2019, impoverishing the stud's genetic lines .

Between April and September 2020, the president was Marek Gawlik, who had no experience in horse breeding.
The situation improved slightly during the presidency of Lucjan Cichosz , also a PiS politician , but with a specialized education . Over the next two years, the stud farm, which had been suffering millions of dollars in losses for several years, made a small profit .

In March 2023, Hanna Sztuka was the president for a few days , and her successor was Marcin Oszczapiński.


commie lame.

It is a lie they were commie.
You are lame lying nazio boy who hates Poland and dreams of Russian rule here.

For the Belarusians they never fully developed a "nationalism'.

Yes, they are good people who are sort of torn between two options - they don`t know yet what they really are - Russian or European.

That's why Ukraine could not get into the EU. NATO.

They wasted a great opportunuty of the open door in 1990s when Russia was a poor fallen state. Homo sovieticus Ukrainians who were suspicious of the West prevailed and their leaders didn`t press, either so in result Ukraine didn`t attempt to get closer to Europe.

Now she's paying for that.

They are paying for their naive belief that Russians are a civilised nation who gave up their imperial conquest as a means of developing the country. .

Polish citizens feel about the
"sudden" death of Alexei Navalny

Last week I went to my dentist who loves telling stories during treatment. While replacing an old filling, he told me that if Navalny had ruled instead of Putin, Russia would have attacked Ukraine and stole Crimea the same. Navalny was a nationalist who dreamt of Great Russia, just like Putin does.

This is maniacal obsessive phobia of yours - you see Germany everywhere. Do you see it also in your fridge and bed??? hahahaha

That is why there is an impression that "Poles are stabbing Ukraine in the back" because they are blocking the border

"A true Pole would never stab his neighbors fighting for freedom in the back," said Eliza Dzwonkiewicz, Polish consul general in Lviv. She did not like the form of protest by farmers who blocked the border with Ukraine and spilled grain on the railway tracks.

In an online entry, the Polish diplomat argued that she could no longer remain silent in the face of the recent events in our country. "I cannot pretend that I do not see these actions that shame Poland on the Polish-Ukrainian border . I am sorry, dear Ukrainian friends. What is happening cannot be the work of my compatriots," Eliza Dzwonkiewicz said on Facebook.

"And today, what are 'Polish' farmers and carriers doing ? I don't believe they are Poles. A real Pole would never stab his neighbors fighting for freedom in the back. It's not about demands , it's about a form of protest. Disgrace and shame . I apologize to fighting Ukraine . I'm sorry," Dzwonkiewicz said.

Why I can`t forgive you coz you are spreading antiUkrainian propaganda with the same wicked intention that paid Kremlin trolls are guided by all over the global net.

That is why it is important for the Polish side to emphasize that we have nothing against Ukraine and we still want to help this country, but we also need to defend our own business - appeals an expert from the Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce

Together, this creates an effect that is eagerly exploited by pro-Russian propaganda in Ukraine. In this country, many people do not understand what Poles are really protesting against. That is why there is an impression that "Poles are stabbing Ukraine in the back" because they are blocking the border, hindering exports and aid deliveries. I am seriously afraid that this - if used properly by the Russians - may really drive a wedge between our societies, waste the social capital that has recently been developed, and destroy mutual relations. Therefore, it is important for the Polish side to emphasize that we have nothing against Ukraine and we still want to help this country, but we also need to defend our own business - appeals the Onet interlocutor.

News / Reactions in Poland to Alexei Navalny's death [128]

The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the ambassador of the Russian Federation, Sergei Andreev.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the Russian authorities to take responsibility for the death of Alexei Navalny. The ministry emphasizes that a "full and transparent" investigation must be conducted to determine the circumstances and cause of the death of the Russian political activist.

"Together with the democratic international community, Poland is observing with concern the growing number of political prisoners in Russia, many of whom are detained in penal colonies in difficult conditions that threaten their health and life. Among them are the leading activists of the Russian opposition, including: Vladimir Kara-Murza or Ilya Yashin," lists the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicates that before his death, Navalny was treated in an "inhumane" way and punished many times, including, among others, "long-term isolation". All this is "symptomatic of the Russian authorities' treatment of political prisoners, oppositionists and human rights defenders," says the ministry.

It was also emphasized that such actions are "incompatible with democratic standards" and "violate the civil rights" of the victims of the Putin regime.

"Poland calls on Russia to hold those responsible for the unlawful aggression against Ukraine accountable, compensate its victims, and settle the crimes committed against the Ukrainian state and its civilian population," emphasizes the ministry, headed by Minister Radosław Sikorski.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

kill that tree

It is impossible to kill that giant tree with this little agrofabric or stones I put on it. Its roots absorbing water and nutrients spread a few metres from the trunk. Besides, if I even covered the whole root area with more agrofabric, it wouldn`t matter coz this stuff allows water to go through into the ground.

Plants don't do well being planted the way because the tree's roots are established and are the first to take any water and nutrients

That is why I put that agrofabric underneath and water it regularly.

Hey, how about the riddle?? What was my primary intention in doing all that???

disappointment.

Of course. And it is perfectly understandable they are prone to be so radical in their opinions coz they are waging a war against a mortal enemy - Russian barbarians. . Didn`t I say that being Ukrainian, I would be equally disappointed?

So, they are showing normal human reactions and it would be strange if they all liked what Polish farmers and "farmers" are doing at the border.

You are wasting time. Poland is intent on helping Ukraine which is a good guy against Russia, a bad guy, despite your rabid Kremlin propaganda.

Ukrainian cause is right, Russian one is evil. Poles and Polesses see it perfectly.
