Feedback / Who deserves to inherit Polish Forums? [244]


Why not? Maybe under Russian administration we could have avatars, signatures, proper smileys, charts, arcade room, polls and all the other stuff that modern fora have. Also, maybe whoever gets the most posts in a given month could receive a voucher for cheap fuel or electricity hahaha

Anyways, we should all chip in and buy it for Bobko - he's the youngest, so PF would have a long future under his helm. ;)


It wouldn't happen because we would have you, Pawian and Maf here to counter all the propaganda. :)

Life / Trendsetter from Poland. [74]


Ha, ha - I remember a couple of years ago in Jelenia Góra I spoke to a Swedish family who told me that Poland is such a beautiful and safe country because there are virtually no foreigners here. I had to bite my tongue a couple of times too because they were nice people. Having said that, I think that those Swedes realised that their country has masterfully f*cked itself up themselves, without me stating the obvious. ;)

Surprise, surprise.

During Obama's term in office Russia occupied Crimea, during Biden's term they conducted a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia must be really thrilled to think what they can achieve with Mrs Harris in office.

However, one has to admit that Kamala Harris is an expert on Central/Eastern Europe...

And if she is, as you suspect, Mr P's agent, then we have a Berlin's agent cooperating with Moscow's agent. What could possibly go wrong?

No new photos there, and many of them very well known, but they look interesting after the colorisation.

... for their region to become a part of newly reborn Poland. In the photo above we see a group of Silesians awaiting the arrival of president Ignacy Mościcki to Istebna in July 1931.

News / Poland's demographic, migration & fertility rate disaster [34]


I know two families who had to move back to their home towns (Mława and Ostróda) because they could no longer afford the rent in Gdańsk (the rents went crazy after the Ukrainian deluge hit the Tricity).

And those statistics regarding living with parents don't take into account the fact that 68% of Poles overall own the houses/apartments they live in (compared to 46% in Germany). So, Poles live longer with their parents but then they get their own property whilst more than a half of Germans pay rent all their lives.

As for lower birthrates... well - that's most of Europe for you (apart from the migrant families). Ever decreasing role of the Church (for many reasons), consumerist culture, general dumbing down of the society, social media idiocy etc. The future belongs to Muslims - the follow the God's command to be fruitful and multiply whilst Catholics/Orthodox prefer buying another car, going on a trip to India and posting pictures on Facebook/Instagram, instead of having a child.

Oh, well - apparently that's what Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) decreed before the beginning of the world. :)

Another reason why it should have been done right away! It would have become all those other countries' problem as well. :)

In any case, Chinese pressure alone would be enough for Lukashenko and Putin to stop their antics.

I hope our government will not back down this time. Close the border!

Yes, I don't understand why it hasn't been done right away in the first place.

Little Poland in Paris: 1858

France has always been one of the main destinations of Polish emigrants throughout history. As with many immigrant communities, they were often far from affluent. The part of Paris that used to be called Little Poland in the past extended from Monceau park to de Clichy square. In the photo above we see how Champlain street - home to many Polish families - looked like in 1858. Below, Polish school at Lamandé street 13/15.
