Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]

Not really.

my nephew only learned basics of English in school (to be honest I never paid attention to what variety of English they taught him in elementary school) - most of his English skills come from watching TikTok videos though and interacting with people from abroad on some gaming servers - I think many young people now learn English this way after acquiring some basics in school and AFAIK most of the internet is the American variety of English

I hope you understand this is in fact a rhetoric question

well in fact it isn't /wasn't a rhetoric question (I actually now reread it) - and no, there is little to no demand for British style food products in Poland (not counting the Brits here) - it's not like I personally dislike British style food products in general - it's just how reality looks on the ground here

w Polsce istnieje instytucja referendum

parlament może też, oczywiście, zarządzić referendum z własnej inicjatywy

I go to the supermarket here, nothing but Polish stuff. I fly back to the UK, go to the supermarket, more Polish stuff

do you know how supply and demand works - think about it and you will know

nd wouldn't be able to place or make sense of your accent.

yeah, like learning the English accents is the most important lesson Polish learners of English should be worried about

and wait there is like nearly a hundred accents in the UK alone - the most important place in the Universe after all

Life / Why there is always around a horrible smell of sweat in Poland [220]

If you showered the previous day at 8pm and you're on a bus the following night,

people don't sweat during the night (typically) so what is your point? I personally like to feel clean while getting to bed, and morning showers don't make sense to me

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [187]

Poland also won't even bother to remove far-right graffiti on the walls

one thing: it is difficult to remove graffiti from the vast majority of surfaces encountered on Polish buildings (save for by painting them over) - secondly: who do you think would pay for it?

Po polsku / Koniec Tuska [17]

Kraj bez referendum nie jest demokracja.

w Polsce istnieje instytucja referendum - niestety parlament może odrzucić obywatelski wniosek o referendum bez względu na to ile osób go poparło (przez podpisanie listy poparcia)

Uśmiechnięta Polska.. LOL

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1312]

oh, yeah - it's as if Hamas is a true threat to the existence of the state of Israel and the Jewish nation

I don't normally follow the news about Israel and Gaza - but my suspicion about Israel wanting their own brand of Endlosung just proves not to be unfounded - here's a recent article in Polish about Israel's new phase of the war and Israel's goal in it :

With emeans land messes, why don't Arabs donate a little area of land so the Palestinians can call it home?

because the massive land masses of the Islamic countries are mostly deserts? will you be so keen to live in a desert even if it was for free?

Let me simplify things for you...

I wonder how Israelis now feel when Trump (as Bobko says) is willing to strike a deal with Iran (I'm not saying any deal is a given and what conditions both sides are willing to accept)

."It is a plan designed to start a war," she added. "It's not just a raid on a village."...

yeah that was an Israeli intelligence memeber assessment - my opinion though is that if Hamas thought they can win any such war they must have been stupid and I don't believe in stupidity to that degree - since my conclusions/suspicions - you are of course free to reach your own conclusions

of course I do:

maybe I am prejudiced against Israel and demonising them and my suspicion is far from reality, though

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1312]

I agree with that

maybe this will sound rubbish or preposterous to you... but New York Times reported in 2023 or 2024 that some in Israeli intelligence knew about the planned Hamas action well in advance - the article said IIRC that the reports were ignored by higher officials - I somehow think that this was deliberately "ignored" so that Israel could have an excuse for their little Endlosung - I know this may sound outrageous to some but I think it is probable

Why no punishment for them, no land loss, no re-education?

well - last I checked Israel invaded Gaza multiple times since 1990's - no land loss? Palestinians lost most of their land compared to 1940's - do I commend or approve of Palestinian terror? no - is Palestinian terror a threat to the very existence of the state of Israel? in my opinion: no

If it ends all the Hamas terror coming over the borders...good for them!

wow it should read: spoken like a true German - you learn all life it seems

That excuse is not working!

maybe it's not working for you - for me it actually does - in my opinion the leaders of Israel decided to have their own brand of Endlosung (which they were persuaded from by more civilized countries fearing millions of Palestinian refugees from Gaza in the region and in Europe)
