Travel / Hiking around Zakopane/ Tatra mountains [33]


One of the elements you need to be careful about is the mountain foehn wind called halny. It not only poses a threat to you physically when you are hiking, but also has an impact on your mind.

It prevents tourism in the Tatras. Tourists who find themselves on the ridge during the foehn may be blown away . There were cases when people who were in the mountains during the foehn crawled or walked on all fours to avoid being blown by the wind. A couple of tourists, who went to the Świnicka Przełęcz in snowy conditions, reached Kasprowy on all fours, sticking ice axes in the snow from time to time and waiting for stronger gusts to lie down. Fortunately, they managed to crawl to the top station of the cable car, where, despite the late hour, the door was opened for them and they spent the night.

Sometimes spruces fall like matches . When the foehn fades away, you can see the slopes devoid of trees.

In Zakopane and Podhale, firefighters have their hands full - they remove broken branches and trees from the streets and roofs. However, the influence of halny goes deeper - our hearts feel its arrival. It happens that there is increased traffic in the delivery wards - in some women, halny accelerates the birthing action. Doctors in the emergency department and cardiologists have more work to do . Halny affects not only the body, but also the psyche.

- Around the world, in areas where foehn winds blow, it has been noticed that certain ailments increase before or just after such a wind . It is confirmed that some people experience spikes in blood pressure before halny. Symptoms increase in people with cardiovascular diseases. Other psychiatric disorders are also observed .

- It is not scientifically proven that halny affects the increased number of suicides , and it is not a grateful topic for research, but then there is an increased tendency to depressive behavior and, unfortunately, an increase in such cases .

- The climate in Podhale is strongly stimulating - says Dr Iwona Koszewska, a psychiatrist from Warsaw, specializing in the research and treatment of depression. Four years ago, Dr. Koszewska started a depression and suicide prevention program in Podhale, "May halny not take anyone" . - Sudden changes in atmospheric pressure caused by e.g. wind, sudden temperature changes - all this affects our body, including the psyche. We are, after all, part of nature, nature, he says.

No, it isn`t strange. You boast of a scarf which directly alludes to the Russian invasion with its slogans! Ha!

I recalled Nazi Got mit Uns coz the scarf reads among others: Russia, Forward! It reminded me of a German battle cry- Vorwarts!! Ha!

History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [515]

Each year, since I started the thread, I try to write sth new about the Rising. And each year I worry if I find a proper topic. Needlessly.

Do you know who Warsaw Robinsons were? They were residents of Warsaw who stayed in the ruined city against German orders. After crushing the armed resistance and the capitulation of the Rising on 2 October 1944, , Germans sent insurgents to POW camps while civilians had to leave the city which Germans started to destroy systematically - burning and blowing up remaining buildings. Some residents refused to comply and stayed in the ruins until the liberation by the Red Army in January 1945. It made 3.5 months of hiding.

read this extensive article
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Crusoes_of_Warsaw

[...]The terms "Robinson Crusoes" or "Robinsons" for the hideaways appeared almost immediately, and were popularized in many contemporary and later works, including memoirs, newspaper reports, and films, by both writers and the "Robinsons" themselves, the most famous of whom was the composer Władysław Szpilman, whose story was the subject of the films, The Warsaw Robinson (1950),[1] and The Pianist (2002).[...]

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


Nope, I meant the times since the day Ukraine declared independence and Poland was the first country which acknowledged it. After all, it is over 30 years - half of my life.

And Polish elites at the time didn`t demand any apologies from Ukrainians coz they were aware of historic events which were shaping new Europe and moved the Russian threal away from Poland. Poles who don`t get such simple matters today are imbeciles. E.g, Ironside.


Don`t be silly. Check the title of the thread.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [487]


People lose track of what you say coz you are playing infantile games with new identities in the forum. Blame yourself, baran, for any confusion. That`s your fault. Ha!


Yes, you call Ukrainians barbarians, while I say it about Russians. You openly admitted several times, and proudly, that you are a Russophile. Everything what you say about Ukrainians is suspicious coz you are biased negatively towards them and positively towards Russia.

Never mind. Stay a Russophile if you like it so much. While I am an incorrigible Ukrainophile - always have been.
Can you see that through this clash of two different sentiments we have achieved a perfect balance in nature ??? Ha! Amasing!

That is why you can`t convince me that I am wrong on the issue of apologising. It is Poles` duty to apologise first and basta!

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

It was a conscious provocation by the Belrus regime.

The photos of the helicopters taken by locals and tourists, and the fact that the sun is shining on various parts of their hulls, indicate that the Belarusian helicopters were circling over Polish territory, and not just crossing the border for a moment. Belarusians also flew in such places as if they wanted to be photographed.

The preliminary analysis of the photos shows that the helicopters could have flown to a depth of up to 3 km into the territory of the Republic of Poland. Considering the fact that on the Belarusian side of the border there are no such compact buildings as in Białowieża, the Belarusian pilots must have known that they were in Polish airspace.

Finally, according to Onet, the helicopters hovered in the air at some point, and it happened at the point where until recently Polish military forces were stationed in Białowieża. This additionally indicates the conscious ostentation of Belarusians.

Bs. Jon knows a lot about history of Poland.
But even if he didn`t, it wouldn`t matter coz Dmowski`s views have been turned into mockery by his today`s followers - they pick what they want, blowing it out of all decent proportions, especially hatred of Jews and minorities. Can you deny it that Dmowski was antisemitic and rejected other minorities? No, you can`t. Can you deny that his modern followers are antisemitic and against minorities? No, you can`t. You are the best example.

So, who is lying and twisting? Not jon, but you.


Yes, that`s your nationalist motto.

Yes, I also read this article on today`s Onet. :):):) But one publicist`s opinion is just his personal opinion and needn`t be worth quoting. :):)


Nope. I only demand justice. As a teacher, I have always strived to be fair towards students. As a father, fair to my kids. Why should Ukrainians apologise first if their crimes took place during WW2 while Polish crimes on Ukrainians/Ruthenians had occured for several centuries, including brutal polonisation before WW2???

Sticking to chronology, it is Poles who should apologise first That`s basic fundamental fairness.

That`s what this thread is for - to show the blind who call themselves Polish patriots what stinking hypocrites they are. You are Polish azholes troubled with the Polish victim syndrome, not patriots.

Two Bela-Russian helicopters flew into Polish airspace. Polish military first denied the fact,

Doubts are multiplying around the Belarusian helicopters that appeared in the vicinity of Białowieża in the morning. - I am not able to say, I have no information, whether there could have been a violation of the airspace - said Lt. Col. Jacek Goryszewski in an interview with Interia. However, he firmly emphasized that the radars did not record anything alarming.

later, after seeing photos on the net. they admitted it, explaining:

However, in the message issued on Tuesday evening by the Ministry of National Defense, it was possible to read that " the border crossing took place in the Białowieża area at a very low altitude, making it difficult to detect by radar systems.".

Photos were taken by Polish locals standing nearly under the flying choppers:
PS. Amasing. Polish military under PiS azholes needs photos to make sure that enemy crossed the border.

You mean teachers should organise a Raising? No, too late. We are old and disappointed. Most teachers just want to live in peace until retirement which is near. And then they will say: and now, dear children, you can kiss our asses.

It is a lie. All European govs did business with Russia, PO and PiS too. So don`t call it pro-Russian. Business is business. But it was Konfederacja guys who still remained friendly on Putin and Russia after 2014!!! And that`s what I was talking about when I wrote about their pro Russian sentiments. Ha!


It is another falsity. And who bought fuels from Russians during all those years from 2015 to 2022??? Aliens in the gov?? No, it was PiS who sponsored Russian preparations for invasion with billions of $..

Mistake which gave fruit later on.

Due to Warsaw Rising, Soviets delayed their offensive until January next year. Nearly 5 months!

Why was it important? In this time, US-Anglo allies liberated Western Europe and started conquering Germany proper. Until May 8, the unconditional surrender of the Third Reich, they captured half of it, which soon became the democratic German republic. Soviets captured the other half.

Can you imagine how difficult it would be for the West to win the Cold War with the USSR if they controlled whole Germany and turned it into Soviet German totalitarian state like they did in its Eastern zone of occupation???

Thanks to Warsaw`s sacrifice, it didn`t take place and eventually the evil state, USSR, was defeated and collapsed.

Salute to Warsaw insurgents!

Nothing. I only support Ukraine. As for today, Poland is safe in the EU and NATO. It is Ukraine which is in desperate need for help.

But everything can change and one day Poland might be deprived of its safety due to various factors. Remember, nothing is given for ever. You need to work on it all the time.

Wise guys said: there won`t be independent Poland when Ukraine is controlled by Russia. That is why they need our help without demanding silly gratitude.


Yes, furry one. hahahaha Some people call me yeti when they see me undressed.
