Some people must have liked Obama - he was reelected with a pretty convincing majority in 2012

What's the point of electing someone and then saying "ignore 90 percent of what he says" ?

Why not just elect a normal person instead ?

If his negotiation tactic is "ask for a horse if you want a cat" , well it maybe worked in 1990s wild east Poland but we grew out of that. He might make a few small gains but the ultimate result will be that American will be less trusted and lose the clear leadership it had for 80 years.

Get this, Europe's alliance with the US is not based on your military (which is far less successful in actual wards like Vietnam or Iraq) but rather in the fact that we see you as the biggest peaceful, free market, free speech, democracy and generally on the right side of arguments.

From what I see on Polish roads Tesla is falling behind MG, BYD and also VW and Volvo in EVs. Not sure how it is in rest of Europe

History / Slovakia - Poland's neglected neighbour? [85]

That's a nice 2-3 hour detour for these losers. I hope they spent it discussing all the economic and political advantages for a small country backing the wrong horse

History / Slovakia - Poland's neglected neighbour? [85]

Every reason - their sole purpose in visiting a murdering rapist was to make mischief and provide a propaganda coup. They have no right to share the airspace with Polish birds

History / Slovakia - Poland's neglected neighbour? [85]

Not a pointless gesture at all. There are EU sanctions on the NN Nazis, including the fact that EU planes can not land at Nazi controlled airports near North Lagos. Slovaks are fully aware of that.

They can find some other route, hopefully longer and more expensive and in a crappy old NN plane.

Polish airspace is not for Putler's stooges.

If you took your supposed Lexus back to the dealer after a few years would you expect them to take it back and hand back your money ?

Same rules - the US can't change it's mind

Should Germans (and even the dear old North Nigerians) control all the roads and railways they built in Poland ?

This argument is nuts

I didn't mention Biden - I basically agree with you.

Not everyone sees the world as a football game between two teams of old ass Americans

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]

Yeah and its not as if Maga morons are trying to control any of the information soaking.

Surprised at some of your eccentric comments - for instance that Canadian voters need to rescued from the "retarded" policies they voted for. And all because of China ?

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]

I agree but then if you allow "stop china" to justify any policy you just end up with the Cold War situation of unwinnable wars in the jungle, supporting evil regimes from Apartheid to any Latinx dictatorship that tortures trade unionists.

Law / Reasonable fees for a Polish attorney as victim in criminal case [12]

Not here - it's not a legal forum

So the 8000 looks about the same as the first offer of 500 euro per action.

I don't know what your case is about, but nobody's going to do it for less than 5000 zloty unless it's very simple

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]

Yeah I bought a bit a couple of years back. I think it's nonsense, but I might be wrong. Think I paid about 1500 usd so a decent gain. Not sure why you would make any more money trading crypto than trading coffee beans or anything else

Ordinary Canadians have higher living standards than the US - less crime, longer lives. Most of the difference in wages is only for the wealthy 10 percent of Americans.

4 years

2 weeks

About 5000 euros "worth" (in fact it's worth zero in the long run)

In each case it's about enough

You are right Iron - these threads are dumb and have nothing to do with Poland.

Al we can add Canada to the list of things that only you understand ? Like Ukraine and Bitcoin ?

The prices I gave were for an English speaker. In fact almost all educated poles under 40 have good English these days

I understand your approach but there is a big backlog in courts at the moment and it doesn't make sense for lawyers to use that model

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]

You have a population 30x as big as Iraq and look how that turned out, same as Vietnam and Afghanistan

I don't understand much about the worlds armies, but I was right that the north Nigerians would still be stuck 6 km outside Pokrovsk at Christmas

Given how much you moan about your taxes being spent on a bit of help to Ukraine, do you think that invading Panama or Greenland would be cost free ?

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]

Right - piece of cake to invade and control a massive frozen tundra full of forests and rivers

Also a simple task to control 120 million people in dense urban areas, jungles and deserts who all hate your presence

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [333]

So if you want to just invade your neighbor, better make sure you win

Last time America invaded someone it didn't end well, same as North Nigeria invading peaceful Ukraine

Real Estate / International transfers for rent in Poland [3]

You mean pay from a foreign bank account to a Polish landlord ?

You mean China is buying Hreenland's minerals on the open market ?

Why can't America do the same ?

I don't know if the US built the canal, but they certainly gave it to Panama via a treaty in the early 80s.

"We paid to keep you safe so now we will invade you"

Poland as a medium size but reliable democracy should of course speak out against this idiocy. Whether it's bluster or not, there are some horrible people in Trump's orbit and it's two years before any possibility to restrain him democratically.

I know plenty of moderate people who voted for Trump because of inflation etc. not sure what they make of this circus.

Law / Reasonable fees for a Polish attorney as victim in criminal case [12]

Sounds on the high side - 200 to 250 zloty an hour is more normal for a small case like that.

North Lagos is her home now. She can get medical treatment there.

Of course she is entitled to renew her UK passport and go home but she has to follow the normal process like all other citizens.

Food / Black pudding & kaszanka [36]

Kaszanka, like all blood sausage, goes very well with chilli salsa or even on nachos with a load of chilli

Life / Do you collect mushrooms in your country? Poles in Poland do. [94]

Yeah I'm drying a lot, but last few years I just started to pick a sustainable amount - enough for breakfast and a few more for freezing and drying and I don't bother anymore with lesser species like opieki or sowa

Life / Do you collect mushrooms in your country? Poles in Poland do. [94]

This was a great year - I went maybe 6 times and each visit a full basket. I found an excellent spot for boletus and maslaki. Used the last of them in Christmas bigos this week - nowadays I don't have the energy for pickling
