News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]

You'd expect so, the one outside Budapest is a bit different though, it's more kinda of representing the artistic value of the statues, but of course there are the usual suspects of Russia propaganda and also the so-called heroes of Hungarian communism.

Pretty small though, you'd get around the whole thing in less than 30 mins, but it's interesting.

This one was my favourites, it's huge.

Not a Polish saying.
I'm not a Christian and even I know it was Jesus that said it first


Jesus living nearly 2000 years ago, while Poland is a very young country, only being 1000 years old.

Anyway, your "news" (a week old) seems to leave out the fact that these memorials will be housed in a new open air museum. An idea stolen/borrowed from the Hungarians who have this:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_Park

And Prague which has this:
muzeumkomunismu.cz

Embrace your past baby, it's the only way you can learn from it.
I mean, look at PiS, they learned loads from the Reds, so much that they're repeating their style of ruling

that's a better idea, still though back at home we'd a similar 500+ thing, that money was put into a savings account until I was 18 and it was mine.

I'm sure loads of people are doing the same here, which is a good thing


I agree, but it's better than nothing y'know. All other EU countries have a child benefit program, so it was about time PL did the same.

It's not the best system, but it's the first one for Poland, hopefully when this shower of clowns are long gone it'll imrpove over the coming years

News / Mieszkania Plus programme - PiS fulfills yet another campaign promise [50]


Indeed

Y'know though, if it works then fair play to them.
Maybe something good will come of this incompetent government.
The 500+ is a great thing, if you have 2 kids, it's a bit stupid thougth that the likes of a family with 2 parent Doctors with 2 kids get the 500, but a single mother struggling in some sh!thole hovel in Bytom gets nothing, but hopefully that'll change over the coming years.

That's a bullsh!t answer
By your logic Poles are happy to allow Poles to leave Poland for pastures new but if someone dares to want to move to Poland that should not be allowed.

You can't have it both ways
the only solution, if we employ your logic is to never allow anyone to leave Poland.
So you'd have never left Poland, you'd still be living in your spa tonw that you were born in, in the 70s or 80s or whenever it is you're pretending it is :D

News / New European Council's report: "Poland oasis of racism, xenophobia and homophobia" ... [343]

Oh, I know that, just when I speak to Poles about this they usually put the blame on Churchill coz Roosevelt was the walking dead by then.

Then again, maybe they blame Churchill coz they know I don't personally have much time for him

Yea, sure

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


These are all bad things, if proven to be true.
PO were not the way forward for Poland, indeed, they did a lot to keep it behind. Look at other countries that joined the EU when Poland did, many of them are in far better positions now.

However, while PO are not the answer to a better Poland, PiS are far, far worse. They're pretty much a cult in all but name.

And that's why people voted PO for so long, they were the lesser of two evils, in the latest election people were sick of PO and voted for these current clowns. Most regret their vote and it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Be a mighty country if we could just get rid of all the politicians. Sack them all and start again.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

PiS logic

I think the only way for Arkadiusz Czartoryski (MP) to understand the issue fully he should volunteer to be raped (I'm aware that it's not actually rape if you volunteer) or maybe he should volunteer one of his female relatives to be raped, they must also become pregnant though, so it might take more than once. I'm pretty sure that would wipe that creepy smirk off his pig-ugly face.
