History / Communism fell 20 years ago, Poland led the fight since WW2 [341]

my parents are against PiS and voting for PO. So how are you going to explain this to yourself?

It's all to do with 1992
If your parents were for nocna zmiana, the dismissal of the Olszewski goverment, the first democratically elected in Poland, because he frustrated Walesa plan to have the former russian bases in Poland run by Russian-Polish joint ventures, and also for Poland to pay for the homes of the withdrawing russian soliders etc.

If they were against Lustrastacja, the ineligibility of people who were SB informers to sit in goverment, then it dosn't really matter if they were part of Solidarity, good people can turn stupid, or maybe your dad had a teczka from the 70s like Bolek?

also i bet they have a trait that you and other PO voters have, as in I have mine so FU, total disregard for the people that did not benefit from the transformacja, and if efforts are made to help them, crocodile tears oh poland can't afford that..

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [265]

Just like the polling was 10 percent off in favour of the incumbents in Greece, and 5 percent off in Turkey, the actual vote for PiS will be higher than 30 percent. Then there is the question if Whoreownia and the post communist PSL will get 8 percent of the vote. If they don't then PiS will have an outright majority and probably enough to change the constitution.

Travel / Weird and wonderful Polish train fares [79]

not quicker than a flight, not convenient finding a rental and returning it, also once u add up the toll highways owned by a post communist oligarch family not that cheap.

Keep your filthy cars out of the polish rail thread.!

Family member tried to book a train ticket Poznan to Warsaw a day before, nothing available, not even connections. In the end a 300 dollar flight on Lot. Let RegioJet/Leo Express into polish railway system now! Enough of bloated state monopoly!

They send you notifications on your phone about the percentage probability

Who did you book with for such cutting edge cross border ticketing features?

Travel / Weird and wonderful Polish train fares [79]

my pet peeve is the peron/tor thing, time to change to western standards and just have a single number for each platform.

The Billboards have a mass of incomprehensible logos attached to each departure,

Please explain.

but the 8pm service does not run on,say,Thursdays

All the more reason for open access to the railways.

The night train renaissance using the open access model gathers pace. Looks like a legendary train trip brussels to berlin/prague and the guardian writer paints a nice Berlin. Amazingly, this European Sleeper business is a crowd funded startup.

Now if only Poland would allow some competition to PKP with Leo Express,RegioJet and Flixtrain.

Rail travel is not as common in the US given the huge distances involved so I don't think it's fair when comparing with much smaller countries

Compare rail transport in single usa state then, to poland and england. it's really crap. true story.

And in contrast to Polish commuter railways this is the situation in america. What a backwards third world country, 70s ticket machines, dirty stations, rails diverted away from towns for the freight companies. youtube.com/watch?v=dwF7fYIw2mI

A Brit compliments the polish railway and transport system, especially the cleanliness and infrastructure and most importantly cost. I like this guy. Also in another video he said that everyone told him don't go to Poland because they hate gays they hate blacks etc but he went anyway and likes the place. Shows how much the mainstream media insidiously affects people's viewpoints.

Life / Warsaw - what's there to love? Semi-livable city? [42]

Street art murals are not graffiti. I say get Banksy to paint it and instantly increase tourism in poland 10 percent.

It's pretty amazing inside. Not just the public bits.

Don't tell me you've been in the nuclear shelter seven stories underground?

PiS need to go, marrying altar and throne was a mistake,

I believe they have learnt their lesson in implementing religious fatwas. (sunday trading, abortion law) Who knows Kukiz might convince them to introduce legal recognition/civil unions for LG next term.

Off-Topic / Hollywood Films [62]

I'd suspect that his tongue was lodged firmly in his cheek

Some parts would actually make a a great tongue in cheek comedy skit by a gay or conspiracy comedian.
