Off-Topic / Is this English phrase correct? [22]


Why even talk about the American version - the POLISH version is the litmus test here and it is "center" too ;)

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [147]


Historical evidence.


There is only one "composite" (ie. created by a computer) picture of the whole Earth from space. The picture is totally fake, but it's been circulated for decades now. There is no real picture of the whole earth from the space and there will never be.


Your point about St. Paul establishing the church is like saying that the first man who spotted an elephant was the elephant's creator. To establish something, it first needs to be created either through knowledge / wisdom or physically. Jesus, through His teachings, established the Christian religion and the church.

Life / A couple of questions about the LGBT movement in Warsaw. [31]


I understand why the LGBT want to have women aboard, but women should not go along with this.

UK, Ireland / Can a foreigner UK student get a Polish work permit from here in UK? [7]

Probably the advice doesn't apply any more since the UK is no longer in the EU. It must have caused a lot of headaches and bureaucracy for Poles working / living in the UK.

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [147]


Ref: picture below plus thousands of various sources confirming this simple fact.


Both are correct. "Center" is in American English.


Because that's how God created them. All those NASA pictures, "alien" movies, and related theories are manufactured nonsense, but you may check my other thread to follow if you like these topics.

  Who established the Church
  

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [147]

Jesus established the Church and is the Head of the Church. Anything else is just a creation of humans who want to live in the flesh. Protestants and other arms of Christianity think they can make things better than God Himself.

Notice that both Kopernik and Luther literately lived in the same period and might have even personally met. Kopernik came up with a nonsense theory that the Earth is not the center of the universe (which was a basis of all the other ridiculous physics theories we have today) and Luther also radically changed the religion (initially, his motives were good but they got corrupted to the point of no return today).

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [147]

Watch some of the videos where Protestants protect the "just faith will save us" doctrine. Perhaps they don't formally teach it, but in real life you can see how they want to have their cake and eat it too. They behave like spoiled kids who just want to live in the flesh but also have a guaranteed ticket to Heaven. They have nothing against divorce etc. This is what made me wonder about this whole Protestantism movement.

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [147]

I've also noticed that the protestant church has been becoming a "popular" arm of Christianity; in Poland too.

But have you ever wondered why? The main reason is that Protestants think that just pure "faith" will save them from hell.

Translation: we can do as we please, don't have to do any good deeds, the 10 commandments don't apply to us, and we can sin as much as we can, but if we "believe" in God, He doesn't mind us living in line with satan and He will always forgive us. It is a devastating mockery of God and faith. Do they really think God is so naive? The bible has dozens of warnings about such "faith."

If you "believe" in something in real life, you don't contradict it in your actions. If you "believe" vegan diet is good for you, you don't eat meat every day. But that's what Protestants do.

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [516]


Not much. All those economic "strefas" created in Poland are just designated zones for foreign (mostly German) companies to pollute Poland from inside. Sure, they give temporary employment and economic development to Poland, but at the end of the day the foreign EU companies will own it all. Still, is there any viable alternative? Probably not in the short to medium term. It is what it is and the current deal is better than nothing..

USA, Canada / Are there any Polish people in Florida? [311]

@Wojtek82 The question is, do you know English well, does your wife know it too? If so, I'd go for it.

Language / How to correctly pronounce "złoty" in Polish? "ł" letter [17]

Watch and learn how the letter "ł" is supposed to be pronounced in Polish ;-) Pay attention to the word "miłość" (love) and others:

Work / I am a Nigerian looking for job opportunities in Poland [30]

It's not fair to say that, generalization that is. He could say that Polish people loved communism so much that they've been electing communists at a 99% rate for half a century. Common people have no say when corruption runs all levels of the government.

Travel / Driving in Poland without a driving license? [4]

So you have a car but don't have a driving license? That's strange. Still, they aren't likely to investigate it, but they may (possibly already did) put your PESEL into the central system and you may be flagged on your next encounter with the police.

UK, Ireland / Getting a UK state pension in Poland [36]

This is a very good deal for Poles who worked in the UK. 3 years is a low threshold.

Life / Is there a self-help movement in Poland? [13]

The "New Wave" movements have corrupted the Polish minds too, but such books have been popular for a few decades now in Poland. It's not something that happened yesterday.

History / Why American military aid to Europe and Poland is important to America itself? [150]

Of course the US doesn't technically need NATO. However, does Apple or Gorg (google) need China? They don't, but they will virtually do anything (including 100% censorship) to do business in China. US tax payers are scammed for paying this much to support NATO or Pentagon; if given a choice (referendum), most of them would want the US to pull out of Nato, but due to the reasons I mentioned above it's not going to happen and the business will go on as usual.

History / Why American military aid to Europe and Poland is important to America itself? [150]


So it works as planned, the money go to private military contractors supported by certain US senators (that's how they got into the power), US banks, hedge funds, etc. They don't care about US taxpayers, either. Do politicians care about tax payers? Nope.

History / Why American military aid to Europe and Poland is important to America itself? [150]

NATO is business for the US (selling US-made military equipment, annual contribution fees, etc). In return, Europe gets a "sense" of stability. It's a little like paying body guards; they may not be needed 364 days a year, but if they are and you don't have them, you're screwed. Or like with a regular insurance, you pay 10 years for "nothing" but one year could save you.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]

Novi, you keep asking these stupid questions resulted from the left's idiocy; why keep adding energy to that. The answer is obvious and you can take a printed encyclopedia published before 1990 to get an answer which is "no".

Off-Topic / Brother missing in Poland [6]

A long shot would be to publish the car's plate number and/or a picture of your brother. You may also contact a detective service in Poland: google.com/search?q=detektyw+zaginiona+osoba+w+polsce (translate the page to your language) who may be able to have access to traffic data as they probably record license plates at strategic places. It will cost some money. A detective may be able to check Poland's surrounding border traffic data (Germany, Czechia, Slovakia) to make sure he didn't cross the border lines there.

I'd also keep trying to contact the police and at a minimum send them the car's plate numbers and maybe even tell them the driver has no valid license and/or may be on drugs; it may alert them enough to do something. Maybe focus on the border police departments, not a regular inland police. You could actually contact the border police in Germany/Czechia/Slovakia too and provide the license plate information.

Travel / Bus in Kielce (schedule) [5]

You're right - they suspended bus # 207 in 2022. However, this page: gorno.pl/asp/mpk-uruchomilo-nowa-linie-o-numerze-207-na-trasie-kielce-nowa-slupia-przez-bieliny,4,artykul,1,2570 suggests that a new bus line # 207 will start on Sep 21. There's no year mentioned and the PDF links with the schedules aren't available but they may be available on Sep 21, so check back then.

Travel / Bus in Kielce (schedule) [5]

Maybe this will help. You have a PKS bus schedule between Kielce and Rudki (in black color it's for Monday-Friday and in red on the weekends).

Off-Topic / Energy-free rail from North to South? [19]

Of course they don't exist. All the "alien proofs" are as legitimate as the pictures from the moon or CGI pictures of the earth.

Off-Topic / Energy-free rail from North to South? [19]

Let me mention something else. I really hope PF people don't live the big lies:

1. The moon has its own energy source. It's like a bulb which is mostly gas. It does NOT need sun to give light. Sometimes when you see the moon during the day - why it doesn't produce any shade? Any object with mass reflects a shade when exposed to the sun, but moon doesn't. It doesn't because it is a light itself, just like each star emanates its own light.

2. Regarding gravitation - it doesn't exist. It is all BS to justify all other theories about the universe. What happens to an apple when it falls from a tree? It falls on the ground because the apple is MORE DENSE than the air. Now throw the same apple into the water - it will FLOAT. Why won't it submerge deep down the earth if gravitation is so strong to keep gazillions gallons of water in the ocean from falling down from the "spinning" Earth? Because the water is more dense than the apple.

There it is. Think about it, this NASA / planets / galaxies "science" is all a lie.

Feedback / Who deserves to inherit Polish Forums? [244]

Funny, it's basically a long version on what I wrote earlier on search engines and forums, a very interesting read if you're into marketing and stuff:

Feedback / Who deserves to inherit Polish Forums? [244]

Don't know if it's a coincidence but I see more and more search results in google from various forums, reddit, or quora. It looks the AI is managing search results now and it realized people are looking for real content, real connections, no matter if it has spelling mistakes or unpopular opinions. People are tired of robotic content sold in a nice package. Google has been manually pushing "brands" in the last decade because they could make money selling ads to those brands and their competitors, but maybe they gave up and will try again giving searchers what they want, just like they did back in 2000-2015.

Study / "Dirty Polish" - I want to buy this book [22]

The cover is a little confusing. They call it "everyday slang" but then there's the word "fuk off" in Polish. I'd assume "fuk off" is not a slang, but a curse word. Slang usually refers to regular words commonly used in everyday conversations, but said in a different manner; usually not by the way of cursing.

Real Estate / Never Rent Your Home in Poland! [9]

I've heard similar stories, but not in such details, thanks for sharing. Some Polish guy told me that they have been dealing with a similar situation where tenants wouldn't pay and wouldn't leave.

His solution was to rent the same house to share to a couple of Ukrainian contractors. The original tenants who stopped paying called the police but when the owner explained that he doesn't want to "illegally" evict them but just wants to have new tenants to share the house, the police couldn't do anything about it because the owner doesn't want them to move out, which is allegedly "illegal" without a court eviction notice. The original squatters moved out a few days later. But it's a pity the law doesn't care about landlords in Poland and they have to go through this.
