Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

The best ones had this guy named Boguslaw Linda in them.

Yes, a cult actor in Poland, too. Especially when he played roles in which he says: Everybody get the fekk out of ere.

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

but I'm sure that Tusk is to blame...

This time PiS blame another opposition party - PSL.

easier and welcoming for scandinavian settlers,

Not a bad idea. But it is a long term enterprise while PiS has no idea what to do with the Ukrainian grain NOW.

To make things clear - it is not the fault of Ukrainians that their grain flooded the Polish market. It is only PiS` incompetence - they have no idea how to efficiently organise the re-export of that grain.

Life / Which areas of Poland have the most conservative young women (under 22)? [49]

I have become very paranoid about any such requests.

You are all a little paranoid in this America. Sorry.

Let's hope he's a high earner then

You mean the case of that Spanish businessman who was sentenced to pay high alimony to his wife who had to remain as a housewife for 30 years for free, while he was free to do what he wanted? There is justice in the world after all.

Language / Polish Food Cat Names [7]

Or Kluski?

My uni times girlfriend had a few cats which were regularly killed by cars in the street where she lived in Tarnów. One of these cats was named Klusek coz he was a bit fat.

It was her who passed the love for cats onto me.

The film is called "Irony of Fate"

Yes, it is known that Russians love this film and always watch it on New Year`s Eve - sort of Russian Kevin Home Alone for the end of the year season. :):)

The female lead was played by a Polish actress - Barbara Brylska.

Yes, but her voice was synced over by a Russian actress. :):) So, she was sort of fake. So, you were sort of duped. I am sorry. :):):)

there was a children's tv series called "Muminy",

Made by Polish TV??

Macedon, Epirus, Thebes, or Corinth,Illyrians or Thracians.

None of those. We are Sarmatians.

I'd like to hear it from a Pole

Then you must wait for Kania who likes to discuss such riddles with you. While I don`t have time to look for analogies between Poles, Spartans, Romans and Corinthians in the Cold or Hot War times.

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]

Is it important who paid? No. Besides, you can find this info in English Wiki.

What matters is that three lines out of 4 are knocked out and Russia won`t supply gas to Europe. Isn`t it amasing???

The latest rumour is that the Polish gov contributed to damaging the pipes.

I can assure you it is not true. Those PiS azholes aren`t able to carry out such an incredible exploit. They are losers who flunk all serious jobs.

News / Should Poland pay for gas in rubles? [194]

Gas and oil. Much smaller amounts than before but still. PiS gov claims the embargo is working but they are lying as usual.
The EU is annoyed at Poland.

"Poland is under pressure in the European Union because it continues to import and process crude oil from Russia, " writes the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ("FAZ"). Bjoern Seibert, the head of the office of the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, two days ago pointed out that one of the EU countries is still buying oil through the northern branch of the pipeline " Friendship". "This violation will have to be discussed with the country," Seibert said.

Life / Which areas of Poland have the most conservative young women (under 22)? [49]

when a man looks for a women who can cook and clean, he is thinking that she will do 100% of the cleaning 100% of the cooking.

Yes, coz that is what males have made us believe when they present their expectations for cleaning and cooking.

Instead of the man not having to do 100% of everything and the women zero.

That is an interesting assumption of yours. It can be even correct. However, not in Poland where most women do these chores on a daily basis and only few don`t. You must have been thinking of the West when writing it.

This is anyway a void discussion coz the OP clearly stated :but I believe in traditional gender roles where women love to cook, take care of children, and the home, and I take care of them and cherish them and make them happy.

It means he doesn`t intend to share any chores at home.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]

But Russians still don't understand.

Fortunately, they are being taught a lesson by the united West and heroic Ukraine. The sooner they understand, the better for everybody on this planet.

if Russia stopped trying to be an empire again,

And starting to build a decent civilisation in Russia at last. 30% Russians are deprived of such ancient inventions as a toilet with running water etc....... Taking shyt in your own backyard, especially in winter, is quite troublesome. Russians still believe that they have to attack European countries to acquire toilets they have longed for centuries.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [669]

Russian propaganda claims Poland is waiting for the right moment to gain control over Western Ukraine.
How do they explain Polish extensive aid to Ukraine??
With amassingly twisted logic. Masterpiece of lying propaganda, indeed.

So, Russians insist the Polish government believes that the collapse of Ukrainian statehood as a result of a military defeat is a condition for the implementation of this idea. That is why the Polish authorities do not want and are against a peaceful resolution of the conflict and therefore provide constant assistance to Ukraine.

Do you understand this "logic"? Polish aid to Ukraine is supposed to lead to the collapse of the Ukrainian gov. hahahaha

BTW, Mr President of Ukraine is coming for an official visit tomorrow.

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

Ukrainian wheat remained in Poland and the low prices are ruining Polish farmers.

The government allowed at least 3 million tons of grain to be imported from Ukraine without any control. Domestic livestock fodder producers bought it, because it was half the price of the Polish one.

Exactly. This wise saying tends to be forgotten or ignored nowadays.

Another scandal which was so shocking I was reluctant to write about it at first.

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

it a little odd I mean why do they assume your Christian.

Nobody assumes anything. :):) The altar boys go ahead of the priest and ask residents if they want to receive the annual blessing.

its quite a nice tradition,

Of course. I am generally against the corrupted black mafia but our local priest is a decent man who takes much more care of our lost souls than his profits. He drives an ancient car and whenever an impoverished farmer comes for a loan, the priest is ready to help.

Traditions are good coz they keep nations together.

why the local priest was treated as some kind of VIP

Coz priests are earthly representatives and envoys of Jesus. Simple. Ha!

Food / How is this herring product typically served? [74]

So far I have avoided fresh herring due to the crazy amount of bones in it. When marinated, they become soft and unobtrusive. A few weeks ago I gave fresh fish a try and voilla!. Buy small fish and remove the spine. Or buy spineless fillets. Coat them in flour and fry on both sides. The little fishbones will melt or blend into the crispy coat.

Easy.

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

PiS has promised

Back on topic edition 155,75.

Last year Poland agreed to allow the import of Ukrainian wheat which was supposed to be sent to other countries. Polish farmers and the opposition warned PiS government of all the risks - they feared that the import might be sold in Poland instead of being re-exported. PiS accused them of being pro Kremlin traitors.

Now, everything what was predicted last year has come true - Ukrainian wheat remained in Poland and the low prices are ruining Polish farmers.

PiS` incompetence in action. For the upteenth time.

News / Scandals, conflicts, tensions, arguments - real life examples from Poland [492]

In the cemetery of the parish of St. Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Mińsk Mazowiecki, a new gate was installed. It shows two skulls, under which there are crossed bones and the inscription "Memento mori". The inhabitants of the city do not like the fence in this form. As they point out, the gate evokes negative associations. They intervened with the city authorities.

Many people associate the new gate with bans on entry to dangerous places, extermination camps, pirates or signs on the packaging of poisonous substances .

Comment: it is amassing people frown at such trifles when there is a war nearby.
