Life / Polish folk-themed pop music? [30]

One of my fave folk pop groups - Igor & Fanny.

16 years ago they made a song about a young Cossack based on Ukrainian motifs. Great music and interesting Cossack dancing.

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [156]

r looked at me in abject horror and said in a tone of voice that was as shocked "Bbbbut that would be three coffees!"

That`s good. Very good. It shows that Polish people are extremely friendly to foreigners and care about them, despite the stereotypes which suggest we are cold etc.

s a positive thing if it happens in a controlled way.

Nothing is mentioned about a controlled way in the PiS` referendum. Stop inventing such lame excuses for PiS coz it is useless. I am always here to debunk them. Ha!

News / There is no Poland without the Church! [178]

Young priests are leaving the church in droves. So many left Poznań diosese during summer holidays that even the local archbishop wrote a letter to his subordinates.

An experienced priest suggests the main reason for giving up the priesthood is celibacy.

I agree - it is high time to end this hypocrisy. Most straight priests have female lovers which makes the whole idea of celibacy a joke.

I will also refuse to have s*x with any men, because of abortion ban and racist undertones I meet with.

Come on, you can still have sex with men who have similar views as you. Simple - before the sex act, ask them to fill in a questionaire about their views. Or even better - they need to sign a document stating they support the liberation of women etc.

And then - voilla!! Exploit them to the maximum!!! hahahaha

any hypocrisy by PiS 1000 to 1

Tell us how you calculated it. Coz we don`t understand that ratio. :):):)

PiS are warning Poles about exotic immigrants and at the same time doing their best in bringing them to work in Poland. Who is a bigger liar now???

I'm from London

And you speak such bad English??? Amasing! hahahaha

Life / Grisly crimes in Poland [124]

An 85 year old man, after having planned the murder , killed his ex wife coz in 1978 she made him leave their house for abusing the family. The murderer had prepared to the act for 4 years. A brutal revenge after 45 years - incredible.

He shot her in the face.

Another reason why Poles mustn`t get a full access to firearms.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]

Polish patriot

Don`t be stupid. Eligiusz Niewiadomski, the murderer of the first Polish President, also considered himself a patriot. And his buddies thought so, too.

That is why we have to educate Iron. So that such horrible assassinations don`t take place again.

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

Amasing reasons for the dismissal of the headmaster of a high school by the local council in the small city of Sieradz: the guy is divorcing his wife but also bragging of a new partner in social media - she`s an attractive female, incidentally a teacher in his school. The local council fired him for unethical conduct and creating bad publicity for the school. The head master promises to take the matter to the court, pointing to the hypocrisy of the people who gave him the sack - he suggested they aren`t so perfect themselves. .

Really incredible. I thought such things happen in Ireland, not Poland.

Funny, I have never had such an impression. Do you know more than I do?? Tell me as my old friend.:):):)

stop arguing with Iron.

Can`t be done. We vowed to educate Iron. We achieved amazing successes when Iron became Cojest. Now we are aiming at a similar transformation.

Kashub, what is contradictory in pointing to PIS` hypocrisy???

Yes, that`s your style - over these years, when you were still an emigrant, I used to tell you many times that you knew very little about Poland. Don`t deny coz it is useless.

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

In 2022 Poland issued the most visas to exotic countries in all Europe

It was this issue that Donald Tusk referred to in the entry. " Whoever wants to get from Africa to Poland, goes to our embassy , ​​buys a stamped visa at a special stand, enters his data and is on his way," the KO leader wrote on Twitter, referring to the information provided on Thursday by Radio Zet. Donald Tusk summed up the entry with the statement: "PiS's migration policy".

And PiS dares to include this question in their pathetic referendum????

Tusk wrote, among others, on Wednesday ."Unleash anti-migrant hysteria, attract a record number of migrants, earn millions on visas, and finally hold a referendum on migration. Lukashenko is an amateur compared to them," the former prime minister assessed. Earlier, he called for "regaining control over the state and borders by Poles.

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

It is amusing coz PIS rulers have allowed for a steady flow of immigrants from non-European countries into Poland for years.

This case has turned into a huge scandal. It seems that corrupt PIS diplomats were selling work visas to African immigrants. That is why the deputy Foreign Minister was fired a few days ago.

In 2022 Poland issued the most visas to exotic countries in all Europe. Amassing!! And PiS dares to include this question in their pathetic referendum????

Just another corruption scandal of PiS..... How many more??? But their homo sovieticus voters don`t mind as long as they get their benefits from the state. Sorrow.

News / Poland highest inflation in 20 years [319]

It will. The Central Bank led by a PiS nominee is contributing to it greatly.

The leader of Poland's largest opposition party accused central bank governor Adam Glapiński of acting under political influence on Thursday (Sept. 7) , after a bigger-than-expected rate cut stunned markets weeks before a parliamentary election.

Poles will vote on Oct. 15 and with the cost of living a key battleground, a 75-basis-point cut in the benchmark interest rate on Wednesday came as welcome news to people struggling with higher mortgage repayments.

However, economists have said that with inflation still in double digits, lowering the main interest rate to 6.00% risks entrenching high price growth. A narrow majority of analysts polled by Reuters had expected a 25-basis-point cut
.

The inflation is no longer Putinflation, it is PiSflation.

Life / Polish folk-themed pop music? [30]

Here, the same group Turnioki with a patriotic song - they sing about the love for their Highland region.



My home is in Gronicko region,
far in the clearing
Here I sit all alone and I sleep in the hay
A little dog is watching the sheep, so they don`t go in the forest
There's plenty of everything I love any time

Gronicki valleys, hissing streams
Hey beautiful girls and daring boys

Life / Polish folk-themed pop music? [30]

It is my observation that eastern European countries, other than Poland, are more proud of their traditional folk music.

yes, we are but it is often too unnerving to be listened to for longer than 5 - 10 minutes. E.g, highland music performed on their traditional instruments is as shrill as a lathe cutting metal and full of unbearable wailing.

That is why pop or rock folk was invented - to make the music more tolerable for an average listener.

The only Polish pop-folk group I have run into is Golec uOrkiestra

Of course there are more.

E.g,
Turnioki - highland folk rock. Not bad coz they sing in the dialect which sounds amusing combined with rock music.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

(pierniczę, pierdzielę, pieprzę, pierdolę, fanzolę, fandzolę) have a pretty established use already.

Yes..
All of them mean talking nonsense. The strongest of all is pierdolić which also meant fekking in old fashioned use..
