News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1158]


it is the European regulations that make prices of CO2 emissions so high (because they are subject to free trade aka speculation) - PiS can't do anything about it (because it is not PiS who dictates the prices) apart from revoking the european climate treaties (as far as I can understand)

if you link articles from 2017 sometimes please do check the veracity of them - as far as I know after the PiS education reform there have been no teachers who lost their jobs (contrary to what the politicised Union of Polish Teachers predicted)

News / Green electricity in Poland [41]


using data from 2012 for the cost of installing wind power ( about 7 million PLN per 1 MW : - gramwzielone.pl/energia-wiatrowa/3154/ile-kosztuje-budowa-farmy-wiatrowej-w-polsce) and wholesale energy prices for 2019 (in Poland) I calculated that wind power repays the investment after about 3,5 years (assuming it's in constant use with the highest possible output (windfarms cannot work in gale force winds as far as I know)) -

edit: optimal wind velocity for power generation is 15-20 km/h - most of Poland has average wind velocity of 4 km/h - we can safely round the average velocity down (say to 3.5 km/h) because of episodes of winds of higher velocity when wind turbines are halted for safety reasons

heh you are funny :)

by the same logic you are guilty of the death of Marek Rosiak (killed by Ryszard Cyba who wanted to kill Kaczyński) if you support PO/PSL (even as a lesser evil)

also I'm not in favour of the latest Constitutional Tribunal verdict on abortion

this is also an interesting reading: rynekmedyczny.polki.pl/NZOZ_Szpital_w_Pszczynie,Pszczyna,Antesa,ZOZ,1534616,1534617/wszystkie_opinie,2

and a bit of history: the Pszczyna hospital was leased for 20 years to a private company in 2010 by the district authorities - there have been a lot of issues and complaints about the hospital afterwards - in 2018 NFZ eventually canceled its contract(s) with the company - a district company overtook the hospital then (it looks like its a model of local facilities PO polititicians dream of: - a municipal company with a couple of synecures per every public service) - the hospital was badly neglected during the time of the private company and from

I'm sorry it shoud have read = net pay ie if you are going to earn 24K PLN a month gross you will receive 15K net - sorry if I mislead you

ask the doctors not us - I have linked here an article from TVPInfo site quoting both the deceased (her text or messages home) and a fellow patient who witnessed some of the ordeal (the two accounts corroborate very well): what transpires is a case of dramatic neglect - I can link it again if you wish

Life / Asking cost of living in Poland [24]


gross pay will be around 15K PLN (the calculation of the tax is not straightforward in Poland and if I tried to sum it up in one sentence it would be a very long sentence)

- there is a mosque in Gdańsk - according to the search there are a couple of shops in Gdańsk that provide Indian products (I'm not from Gdańsk) - there are also a couple of Indian (or Indian themed) restaurants there

- appartment rent (for a smallish place) is around 2000 PLN a month (excluding the bills) - rent for studio flats is not much lower than that of 2 room appartments (two room apparments means a flat with a kitchen (or a kitchenspace),a bathroom and two other rooms)

-Gdańsk has pretty good (and pretty cheap) public transportation - I can't give you approximate sums for your daily expenses (think groceries) (my guess would be singificantly less than 1000 PLN per month assuming you don't eat out often)

anyway gross 24K PLN per month is a very good salary - you would be able to save quite a lot if you are single and not spendthrifty

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


can't confirm it - I don't blindly believe 'other sources' in Poland because of the manipulations of the other side (including the infamous Wojciech Diduszko's playing a victim of the oppressive PiS regime - you can watch the footage of it on youtube)

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


my understanding is (as I have already stated in one of my posts here) that she was reporting what doctors told her (I doubt she realised what the law said about it and what the implications were) - obviously acording to the law doctors could do something - in one of her texts she said - "..I can expect sepsa any moment" - don't you think the doctors didn't realise the risk? - by the time she sent that message she had a 40 degrees fever and trembled and received medication for it (only after a fellow patient called the doctors and showed them the thermometer - a nurse said she must have caught cold: can you believe that) - so yeah doctors either realised the dangers (a dying fetus in a womb IS ALWAYS a threat to the mother) and they ignored it and/or they seriously neglected the patient

some details of what I wrote are after this article : tvp.info/56773337/wiadomosci-od-ciezarnej-pacjentki-z-pszczyny-pisala-ze-nikt-jej-nawet-nie-zmierzyl-temperatury - the article contains accounts of a fellow patient which perfectly corroborote the texts of the deceased

also I generally am not in favour of the deplorable ruling on abortion by the Constitutional Tribunal (although the fate of children with down syndrome that used to be aborted in line with the previous law raises questions)

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


hmm I actually watched this footage on TVPInfo (my mom often watches TVPInfo) - the comment that accompanied the footage was that it was a film scene but that similar things happen in real life in Sweden - it is not impossible that the comment was added afterwards/altered and that it originally was shown as a 'real' evidence of pervasive crime in Sweden- I don't sit glued to the TV so I have no way of telling - also I have no firsthand experience of Sweden so I can't judge the comment to the footage that I heard (about pervasive crime by immigrants in Sweden)

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


in the article from interia a woman from the same Federacja Na Rzecz Kobiet i Planowania Rodziny says she is not aware of any doctors being charged for performing abortions they intervened in

the article from wp.pl you linked states in 2019 there were 757 investigations about suspected violations of the abortion laws and 37 convictions (if I understood correctly) - there is no mention in how many cases charges were pressed against doctors - that means there were plenty of investigations and 39 (if you believe court verdicts are to be trusted in Poland) illegal abortions - to me it looks like there was abortion underground going on


the exact wording is: "Udawało się po naszych interwencjach, ale nie tak powinno być" - so I conclude that it was not a rare occurence that the pressure was successful

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


according to the article you presumably read Federacja Na Rzecz Kobiet i Planowania rodziny intervened in about 300 cases where doctors refused an abortion on the grounds of danger to the health or of the death of the mother and the pressure was successful in many (most?) cases - so yeah no abortions were performed - congratulations on your logic

yeah PiS is evil, and Tusk is an angel - that he sometimes has a penchant for blatant lying or simple manipulating doesn't mean a thing

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


the family of the deceased has filed a complaint to prosecution, so a trial is probably inevitable - what happens during the trial remains to be seen - again there was a massive neglect in the case on the part of the medical staff - just look here: tvp.info/56773337/wiadomosci-od-ciezarnej-pacjentki-z-pszczyny-pisala-ze-nikt-jej-nawet-nie-zmierzyl-temperatury


there have been abortions on the grounds of the danger to the life or health of the mother during that time mostly after a feminist NGO pressed doctors/hospitals - they suddenly lose all fear of being persecuted for performing an abortion in most cases - should i again link the article specially for you?

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


she was reporting what doctors told her simply - and doctors had peculiar interpretations of the law - also as the article I linked here there was a massive neglect on the side of the medical staff in the case


what atmosphere - in the year since the unwise/infamous ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal there has been no case of charges against a doctor performing abortion

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


now that the case (or even cases) have been made public and a household issue and after the ministry of health issued a clear guidance any other instances of such deaths would be a very bad case of neglect or a downright sabotage of the current legal order in the matter

btw if you don't believe in serious neglect in the case just read the f..ng article : tvp.info/56773337/wiadomosci-od-ciezarnej-pacjentki-z-pszczyny-pisala-ze-nikt-jej-nawet-nie-zmierzyl-temperatury

just read the fooking article - maybe then you will shut up - although I actually bet you are going to say it's fake news - I have enough of this nonsense for now

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


I stand by my words: the problem in my opinion is not the law but stupid cowardly doctors who don't take good care of their patients

also there is this perfect corelation between births and deaths - before man appeared on earth no man died - it must mean that man die because they appeared on earth

there is another analogy: after the Brtitish army introduced steel helmets during the World War the First head injuries among the servicemen soared - it was because before introducing the helmets most servicemen died because of head injuries

nota bene strona popularne.pl is in my opinion a new ploy to brainwash people cause the likes of gazeta.pl, wyborcza.pl, onet.pl, wp.pl don't appeal to some (a growing percentage of young?) people - the gem I copied from the article proves it in my opinion

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


the article contains this pearl: Zaostrzona ustawa antyaborcyjna nie pozwalała na zabieg usunięcia płodu. - as I have already repeated ad nauseam here is that it's simply not true - the problem in my opinion is not the law but stupid cowardly doctors who don't take good care of their patients


read the article please, and then come to me and tell me the death was PiS' fault: tvp.info/56773337/wiadomosci-od-ciezarnej-pacjentki-z-pszczyny-pisala-ze-nikt-jej-nawet-nie-zmierzyl-temperatury

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


pawian, I don't count it as a real proof cause I wasn't able to read the article because it is behind a paywall :P


to quote you again to show plain and simple your hysteriac's bias (I don't call you a liar cause you believe what you write) - the article I linked completely contradicts your statement - there hasn't been a single case of pressing charges against the doctors who have performed abortion since the infamous CT verdict

also the sadly deceased texted her relatives that nobody even cared to check her body temperature - "Dali kroplówkę, bo z gorączki się trzęsłam. Dobrze, że termometr wzięłam, bo nikt nie mierzy. Miałam 39.9" - if it doesn't like a case of neglect what does

and it goes like this: Rodzina złożyła zawiadomienie do prokuratury o podejrzeniu popełnienia przestępstwa tzw. błędu medycznego, twierdząc, że pacjentka wyraźnie sygnalizowała personelowi szpitala, że źle się czuje, a nikt nie monitorował ani stanu zdrowia matki, ani dziecka. - Gdyby lekarze podjęli działania, gdyby się nią zaopiekowano. Pozostawiono ją samą sobie - oceniła pacjentka leżąca ze zmarłą kobietą na oddziale.

just read the whole article - you'll be pretty shocked, I hope: tvp.info/56773337/wiadomosci-od-ciezarnej-pacjentki-z-pszczyny-pisala-ze-nikt-jej-nawet-nie-zmierzyl-temperatury

yes I admit I know the topic superficially - and I don't watch TV that much - but well the article is from yesterday - and I believe you have just googled it out - so yeah your profound knowledge on the subject is not that profound after all

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


because of the doctor's stance you fail to admit (or rather their peculiar interpretation of the law)


please provide the proof that some of them ended tragically (apart from the one in Pszczyna) - the article doesn't state that

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


read the article I linked - there has been so far no charges against doctors who have done abortions - so yeah their fears are not based in facts ergo they are not rational - spit all you want it doesn't change my opinion that you suffer from hysteria induced bias


complete and utter nonsense according to the same article you claimed to having read


I quote it again so everybody can see that you are so biased that you cannot see obivous statements that contradict your personal bias :

" Od czasu ogłoszenia wyroku nie słyszałam o żadnym zarzucie prokuratorskim, dotyczącym lekarza ginekologa, który terminował ciążę niezgodnie z prawem - mówi."

I have never seen you back down on your claims before so I'm curious what happens now :)

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


it is a valid question - I mean: I doubt they did - however facts indicate their fears of the law are not rational - it definitely is not that black and white as I have tried to make it look, I admit - also just read the article I posted - there are a couple of different and opposing views in it (although some of them are not entirely sincere in my opinion)
