Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

Good prognosis for the future. :):):)

Yes, it was. Rightist PiS lost, the pro-democratic opposition won. Amasing!

I am still wondering how stupid PiS gangsters were when they went to the war against Polish teachers a few years ago,. Did the gangsters really believe that teachers wouldn`t take a revenge on them after the failed strike of 2019 and the next years of continuous humiliation??? Of course, we did. We educated the youth about two major things:

- to take part in the ballot
- not to vote for the perpetrators of students` misery in schools.

How simple. Yet, those rightists are unable to grasp such basic things.

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]

in some places in Poland they might have personalized labels for bottles of vodka for the wedding party and/or gifts for attendees...

Check this bottle on the cold cuts table - gift vodka. Coloured like whisky. :):):)

Next photos show some early dancing: the newly weds dance first. Tradition.

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [455]

No, I didn`t.
Or yes, I did, but in English. They didn`t understand them, luckily.

Alien, let`s knock off the off- topic topics.

Life / Any good Polish films to watch? [112]

charlatan, 'The Quack'.

I thought they are synonyms.

which I really enjoyed.

Good. I am really impressed.
Coz I have never liked the story, that is why I have never read the book or watched a film, except some acclaimed scenes in the court. . I prefer to stay away from sad stories which show human suffering and tragedy, even if they have a happy ending. I don`t know why - they get me down too much, probably.

It was just propaganda,

Nope. I still remember reading DD comic books to my kids. I was really disgusted by the guy`s predilection to exasperation. I always instructed my kids: look, dear, this is the way you shouldn`t behave coz people will consider you azholes. Ha!

I see a difference,

That`s a technical difference in procedures while I meant mentality. Kaczyński never grew out of communism despite his participation in Solidarity.

The best Donald,

No, not the best. I never liked him .I remember him as nasty, bad-tempered, impetuous poultry guy. The same as Duckman Kaczyński.

News / PiS` magic tricks - the first budget without deficit in Poland [39]

The problem is that PIS are hiding true figures.

Gumi, read this article about PiS` tricks with moving huge expenses out of the budget.
Experts think the new gov will encounter serious problems dealing with the cuckoo`s eggs planted by PiS.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

it means playing for basically nothing

Yes, exactly.

Now I will tell you sth funny - I am still not sure if the idiom is correctly described on language websites. I remember a few situations in my life when the phrase : Come on, relax, we aren`t playing for the gold panties" was used. Players said it to relieve the sudden tension after a foul and angry reactions of the opposite team to it. Or when a team lost the game and got rowdy with disappointment.

I am still wondering who is right - us 50 years ago or the sites which explain the meaning today.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

It is really amasing but I feel a bit like in June 1989 when Solidarity and communists contended for the Parliament seats in historic semi free elections.

One more memory about that time. Communists prepared a list of 35 top apparatchiks to be voted all over Poland - the so called nationwide list. Patriotic Poles were advised by Solidarity to reject it. So they did. All apparatchiks lost the ballot.

This year PiS prepared their manipulative referendum which was to attract PiS voters. Similarly to 1989, patriotic Poles were advised to reject it. So they did.

PiS and communists are the same gangsters.

News / Is the Polish-Polish war ending? Is the PiS-PiS war beginning? [14]

PIS vs PIS war has begun after the lost elections. Various factions in PIS are accusing each other of flunking the ultimate exam. Of course, nobody is accusing the Chairman who held all the strings with the puppets who did as he told them or expected. Yet. One presidential advisor suggested it is time for Kaczyński to retire.

Goddess forbid! The longer Kaczyński remains the Chairman, the sooner and deeper the complete demise of PiS will be.

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [275]

I have read claims that they tried, just more discreetly

Wow, now you impressed me a lot. For a German, you are quite well-read about Polish matters which aren`t so widely known to aliens.

Are you also an agent of influence like our Russian members????? :):):):)

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [275]

No more, darling. They are obsessed about the Trianon Treaty and dream of retrieving their lands back. Ukraine goes first as the object of Hungarian land recapture obsession. That is why those Hung azholes support Orban. Poland certainly mustn`t be friends with those nuts anymore until they swallow and digest at last what has troubled them for decades.

Konfederacja 1 million 547 364 (290 411 more)

I already said - bad news for Russians who hoped for a better result of the most pro Russian parliamentary party in Poland,.
7% of voters chose natio Konfederacja. Too few to dream of exerting any political influence in current conditions.

Hey, Russians, can`t you convince those Konfederacja azholes that they should give up their misogynist attitude coz they have lost mostly due to their horrible views on women`s rights???

News / PiS` magic tricks - the first budget without deficit in Poland [39]

I need figures

The problem is that PIS are hiding true figures. And that is why indpendent experts have to resort to rough estimates. They claim that PiS is playing dirty tricks coz they are leaving the budget in ruins for the next gov. And VAT mafias are doing what they want. PIS bolshevik gangsters have fed their own mafias. AmaSSing.

Shut Up!

Are you mad??? I will never shut up and will always expose those PiS bolsheviks.

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [275]

People, you won`t believe it but it seems and the rumour says that to some extent we owe the latest PIS` ballot defeat to Hungarian advisors and spin doctors hired by PiS politicians. Those "experts" were imported from autocratic Orban`s circles to help Polish rightists attain what Orban had done earlier in his country - namely, win the ultimate majority of seats in the Parliament.

However, Hungarians flunked the job coz they didn`t know :Polish reality well enough. Their advice was useless for Poland and contributed to PiS` demise.

We owe them a really big one!!! Thank you, Hungarians!!! hahahaha
A Pole and a Hungarian - two buddies. hahahahaha

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

It is really amasing but I feel a bit like in June 1989 when Solidarity and communists contended for the Parliament seats in historic semi free elections. I remember the same atmosphere of anxiety and tension before the ballot. Then, the exhiliration when it turned out Solidarity won all the seats allocated to them both in Lower and Upper House except 1. And it was all followed by suspense about what it would lead to eventually.

Let me remind you that Walęsa persuaded the communist party`s allies to break away and make an alliance with Solidarity. Thus, the pro democratic opposition got an upper hand over communists and created their own government.

Wonderful times. People kicked communists out like they have kicked bolshevik PIS out today.

Thank you, PIS, for leading to the situation when I can feel young again. It is the first and probably the last time when I am thanking you earnestly, without my usual irony, you fekking bolshevik gangsters. Go to Hell and never come back again. .
