News / Let's protest censorship in Poland's mainstream media! [90]

Yet you fail to provide one teensy weensy bit of evidence for your wild assertion.

Hmm jon you are in no position to argue trust me. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

My guess

You are the one that can be counted on to butt in rudely.

And other parties are what, Korean ?

What others? PO or N are both Soviet parties.

Poland doesn't acknowledge a nation has a minority (see - Silesians, Ślązacy, Kaszubi)

Cause they are not a minority and never were.

. And since you hate gays so much

Could you share how you came to that not so brilliant conclusion?

because he is an arrogant and hateful chap

Really? How come? So far he appear to be on of the most restrained and cultured as well as well mannered politician who is being constantly attacked haters, hate speech, slanders and vulgar politicians and other nasty people who lie all the time like Lis for example.

Nobody would care about his sexual orientation

Fact is nobody cares about his orientation but hypocrites and twerps.

in Britain snide little references to his homosexuality would be all over the tabloids.

In Britain you could have be jailed if they have caught involved in homosexual acts in the 70'. Maybe they didn't implement that law in 70' but few decades or even a decade earlier it was a very real possibility for gays to be jailed.

In Poland homosexuality was never persecuted by the law. Nobody cared , until these damned activist came together with their twisted ideology. Still nobody really cares.

I Would think that those activist if they would really care about homosexuals would be set against using alleged homosexuality of JK as a political weapon against him. Thing is they don't care about gays but about their agenda. Hypocrites.

Polish merely LOOKS like the hardest language in the world to learn, English IS the hardest language in the world to learn [right].

I'm not sure that someone really care about that. Maybe some twerps or people who wanted to learn Polish and failed.

Feedback / Is it Polish forum or foreign forum? [159]

This does not feel like a Polish forum because of you.

Let me put it this way Ktos, for you are fairly new here, you have no room to complain, right now everybody has a chance speak his or her mind and every voice is treated equally, moderating got better, if you disagree with somebody and if they are wrong that is their right and their choice, should they be censored?

You can take my word for it things were bad in the past for two reasons; less moderating by the mods and Admin annoying attitude, foreigners were given more leeway than Poles. Right know that isn't the case. So man up and stop whining.

Your demagoguery has not limits. Fortunately nobody is buying it.

Some people are coming here to debate issues as it is a prefect opportunity to do so on this forum but some people unfortunately come here to play games and propaganda. Delph belongs to the later group.

There seemingly three groups of foreigners on this forum.
The first group has no clue what is going on in Poland due to the poor language skills and limited numbers of people they really interact with. Hence their comments in this section of the forum are pathetically wide off mark.

The second group of foreigners are either looking at PiS through a very narrow lenses of their ideological bias or/and those who somehow identified PO with liberal, leftie, progressive party (for some bizarre reason) and are viewing PiS as a nemesis set against those "values".

Hence they miss what really going on in Poland and they focus on this issues which in fact are only sideshow or byproduct of circumstances.

The third group is somewhat confused as to goings in the Polish politicks and their views vary from one individual to another.

Of course Mr Oracle doesn't care for realities and circumstances of the Polish politicks, he is only playing and having fun - as they say the play is the thing.

The guy is obviously one of Cameron's goons, and has had one too many bottles of plonk.

Actually he sorta get it. You on the other hand seems to be as dense as hardtack.

The problem with "Good Evening" is that everybody used that in the times of general Jaruzelski, whereas the phrase "conspiring with outside forces"

The crux of the matter here is not in phrases they used but in their meaning and general context. If words or a phrase describe reality accurately that in itself is a sufficient justification to use it. The only problem here is in your head not in the phrase.

And they're in trouble. Big trouble.

You are in a big trouble since you learned how to talk.

All too often this phrase could be heard in the times of general Wojciech Jaruzelski.

In the times of Jaruzelski even more often phrase you could hear everyday and in his speeches on TV was Good Evening. According to your logic anyone who uses that phrase today must be a crypto-communist another phrase which sounds very outlandish and have a smell of another conspiracy theory.

I think that using the rhetoric of the communists in this dispute is utterly wrong.

That is not communist rhetoric it is rather communist regime that used national and state rhetoric to their own ends.

I'll tell you why: becuase they are all biased, horse-blinkered, rabble-rousing a*seholes, that's why!

Hallelujah!:)

And the approach needed now is for PiS to break the law

Are you an expert or just another horse-blinkered as....le taking side in a political dispute.

Excellent column by Tomasz Lis.

Do we have to read your mental shingles here? On the other hand it is not surprising that you're attracted to scum.

A longtime staunch supporter of PiS (and very outspoken critic of PO)

The fact she was critic of PO doesn't make her supporter of PiS. She is simply a theoretician who doesn't understand implication of circumstances and realities at the ground do in practical politick.

Make no difference another card to be played in that propaganda war waged between the system and PiS.

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

Are you trying to seriously suggest that PiS didn't make a huge deal out of demanding lustration and the removal of ex-PZPR men from public life?

Lustration doesn't equal removal of ex-PZPR men or women from public life and never was. Ten years ago PO were on their hills with their political platform at the time.

But given that PiS have completely chosen to ignore the rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal,

the CT is not a Pope and if they break the law or overstep their authority there is rule of law to rain them in.

why have they appointed an ex-PZPR

Transparency mean being clear and public about past assassins of people appointed to a public office.

So one would assume that prosecutors in those times who actively took part in the prosecution of the opposition should be excluded from public life, as should former high ranking members of the Milicja.

Well you can assume whatever you want, I could even say that they should be jailed. However your assumptions and my wishes have nothing to do with the PiS political platform or their policy.

Ironside, try as you might, you can't get away from the fact that PiS are very much PZPR-bis.

Hmm, I could well expected to you your come-back would an utter tripe.

When did PO run on a platform of ridding former commies from public life?

When did PiS run on such a platform?

He doesn't care about rule of law,

You are talking about rule of law as if there were not rule of law in Poland. You are repeating some PO propaganda like an automaton without mind of his own.

PiS claimed to be anti-communist. They lied.

Nah they championed transparencyin public life you i....! - meaning all people wanted to step out onto the policies scene should be screened and clear about their past and their past associations.

Mainly it is about the secret commie police or being a snitch for the commie regime.
They never claimed that all rank and file of the former PZPR members should be excluded from holding of public offices.

Life / Comparing Poland and Romania [108]

Romania did nothing of the sort. A lot of property went into private hands mysteriously as well.

Even if a lot of property went into private hands as well that do not diminish the fact that many rightful owners got their property back.

In Poland a lot of property went into private hands mysteriously but rightful owners more often than not got naught.

Anyone who says that Romania has coped with its communist past better than Poland has is either dishonest, an idiot, or both.

it has been long established on PF that you are both. Romania was doing worse than Poland even before the war.

Life / Comparing Poland and Romania [108]

other than being mostly Slavic,

Romania is not a Slavic country and that fact in itself is more oft than not meaningless.

The government struck me as a little more corrupt and 'backward' than Poland, but that could just be my imagination

Romanians done soothing which Poland haven't been able to do to this day. Namely they cleansed all strata of their state, universities and other important positions from commie flunkies, they have also give back private property to their rightful owners.

Life / Why do Silesians hate Poland? [41]

is that because they are essentially similar?

Yes!

is there a relationship based on insults similar to Welsh and english?

Nope, Poles in general don't have any insult reserved to Silesians, and Silesians have only word for a person who might be born in Silesia but is not of Silesian origin, is that insulting - I don't think so.

Could a 'Polish' person recognise a Silesian from looks/accent etc

If they i.e. Silesians speak their local dialect or on purpose use some Silesian accent and words - then yes. The thing is most of the Silesian can speak perfect Polish.

As for Looks - rather not, no.

so all Silesians are miners are they?

Use to be before many mines has been closed.

and Silesian is just a rregional dialect of Polish?

That is my understanding of how things are.

Their rabid nationalism will come back to **** them both in the ass.

You are the only rabid person in here.

Well, it is true that Hungary, and now Poland, like to bite the hand that feeds them.

By your own admission you are the one who bites hand that feeds you, after all you are attacking new government because you are afraid that they will take a close look at your business practices.

Poland as well as Hungary are sovereign countries with a long history of independence and prosperity and there is not reason for them be treated as a vassal state and colonies to be exploited with detriment of their citizens.

You are talking utter tripe and you are repeating it over and over again. I don't know whether you don't know any better or it is because you don't want to know any better.

If you are only confused you might as well take my word for it, you are talking nonsense claiming that the EU is feeding Poland, utter tripe I say three times to drive it in.

The European Commission are now involved :

I would write to them - why don't you mind your own business? You have and never had any right to intrude into Polish internal affairs.

Word it diplomatically and send it to them on a donkey.
