Language / Which books do native Polish people in Poland use to learn Polish? [72]


You should choose Mein Kampf. You will like it a lot and read a few times, I guarantee. It is about your fave Nazi Germans who saved you from mad Polish insurgents in 1944. hahahaha buhahahaha Ale witz!!!

Or go for the Introduction to Psychopathy. Reading it, you will understand yourself better. hahahaha buhahaha hohohoho I can`t..........
Drugi witz! To mój rekord. :)P):P):

Language / Which books do native Polish people in Poland use to learn Polish? [72]

Now a riddle: how does the story end???

Language / Which books do native Polish people in Poland use to learn Polish? [72]

I must admit that books for kids in my childhood were neutral on communist ideology which means they never mentioned the communist party and its leaders, Soviet Russia and other satellite states, let alone praising or encouraging readers to support them.

There was one common thing in those books, though - they promoted noble behaviours among youngsters.

E.g,
In 1970s I read a book: The Brave Go Out at Night. It is a collection of short stories by Marian Orłoń. The first story which gave the title to the book is about 3 boy scouts who leave their camp at night to explore a deserted ruined house in the middle of the forest. While breaking through the vegetation, they discover a roe deer trapped in poacher`s wires. They let it free but the animal has a broken leg and can`t walk. After a heated exchange, two boys decide to come back to the camp with the injured animal even though they know they might be expelled by the chief for insubordination coz they left the camp illegally. The leader of the group continues his march to their destination. He says: I prefer to spend my vacation at a boring scouting camp with a strict chief rather than be bored in a dull block in the city.

Extremely inspiring story for me as a boy.

Another inspiring credo from the same book. It functions as a traditional saying in the family of the village blacksmith who are hard working people:

Do today what you are supposed to do tomorrow.
Eat tomorrow what you are supposed to eat today.

I must say I adhere to this saying quite often. Yesterday I came back from work very late. Instead of having dinner, I started mending a cats` litter box which had broken during the day.

I often call PiS bolsheviks. Did they support Putin`s Russia financially coz current Russia officially declares itself a Soviet Union`s heir???

Another thing - can you stop swearing in Polish in the forum? I can`t open such threads on computers in my schools due to blockade on foul language. Think before you act.

The Staff improved the photo display interface so now they appear enlarged when clicked. Good!! Excellent move. Such photos are still manageable for our eyes and don`t burden a thread.

This reminds me scenes from the National Stadium a few years ago. The match was delayed and some bored fans entered the pitch and played chase games with stewards.

Probably not. Just like they aren`t to Polish youngsters. When I play some funniest scenes to my students, they remain completely indifferent. That is why I feel so old in school today.

The last hint: the farmer who cultivates the field next to mine had harvested his corn which had had a bad impact on the individual which I saw later on.

Feedback / I love this forum - It's so Polish: tolerant, inconsistent, amusing [252]


Not really. I already explained it a few years ago when my original photo riddle thread was closed and a new edition was created. Today we have edition No 3. A few of my other threads were also closed and continued like that.
It is a result of the thread becoming too bulky to handle by the forum`s engine.

Get used to it. The rule is simple - long heavy threads with a lot of photos or direct Youtube embeddings are archived.

PS. Kania, the only thing you should do now is kneel down and politely thank the Staff for retaining you as the originator of the thread. :):):)
PS.2 - This new thread also has a much better title. Thank for it, too. )::):)


There is hope such threads won`t be so thick. I can see the engine was modified and it automatically resizes all posted photos down to size 275X183 and weight 8.85.
But...
Quite a minimalist solution. It makes less sense to post pictures now coz they are so small and indiscernible. Pity.

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [83]

@Crow
Exactly!!! This quote shows what azhole and loser Duda is.
Translation:
It is very interesting that President Andrzej Duda does not report anywhere that he was at the celebration of Miloš Zeman's 80th birthday yesterday. In addition to Fico, Orbán and Vučić, the event was also strongly attended by Czech communists, populists, pro-Russian politicians and disinformants.


That German scum on Russian payroll?? Fekk him too!

Let`s bring it back:

Feniks suggested a lynx.

No.
hint - it also walks on all four like a lynx. it is aggressive when threatened like a lynx. it has fur like the lynx.

Feniks suggested compost bins.
no. in such a bin, waste would rot nastily instead of decomposing naturally. i don`t think i would find much pleasure in scattering such stuff onto the field later on... :):):)

Jon suggested a badger. Sorry, no. Mine is much smaller.

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [222]


yes, and those youngsters are witnessing the genocide that nazi israelis are orchestrating on palestinian or lebanese civilians. as a result, new fanatic volunteers are going to join terrorist organisations and the war will never end.
it will last until the destruction of israel. nazi israelis can kill millions of arabs or persians but millions will remain. in the opposite direction, when arabs and persians kill millions of israelis, there will be very few left.
pity that israelis and their nazi gov can`t predict such obvious events in the future. they will pay dearly for their blind stubborness.

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [83]

There is a huge fault in your logic. it wasn`t mr honourable prime minister reverend donald holy tusk`s threat. he is a too decent and intelligent statesman to publicly say such stupidities. the threat was used by another leader - kania`s fave. peasant azhole, sort of. :):):)


An amassing situation took place: zeman said that duda`s presence at his party is the greatest gift he could receive and started looking for the polish guest around the room but couldn`t recognise him though duda was standing nearby. it only shows what azhole duda is in fact.

News / Mister President Andrzej Duda - Best Poland could get. [83]


yes, duda`s presence at the suspicious event like that corroborates my previous words and general opinion about him: azhole, puppet and clown.

zeman, babiš, fico, orbán, vučić are not a group in which the polish president should publicly appear in a perfect mood. if only because almost all of these politicians are accused of authoritarian tendencies, destruction of basic institutions of liberal democracy, populism and corruption. in addition, they form a pro-kremlin - and often pro-chinese - axis in our region, more or less openly speaking out against the sanctions imposed on russia and against european aid in ukraine.

in the most vital issues for the polish raison d'état, they are fighting for solutions that strike at poland's key interests. they are pursuing a policy that is radically at odds with that promoted on the international forum by andrzej duda - who consistently supports sanctions against russia and aid for ukraine.

good. so no apologies from poland. simultaneously, poles/polesses can`t expect any cooperation from ukrainians in reference to exhumations.

- If someone says that they will block Ukraine's access to the European Union, they are in line with Vladimir Putin's policy . I don't know if this is the intention of the current government - Andrzej Duda said in an interview.

History / Polish Protest Songs from 1980s [6]


Yes, a good one. Paradoxically, at the end of the song, it is critical about the mob which protests madly and brutally treats anybody who doesn`t join in. In result, the walls remain where they were.

They tore down monuments and tore up pavements.
"He who is with us, he who is against us!"
"He who is alone is our worst enemy!"
And the singer was also alone

It is amaSSing how your russophilia is blinding you. Germans were granted exhumations in Poland coz they apologised first and repeated it many times afterwards.
Did Poles apologise for their crimes committed during the centennial period of colonisation and polonisation of Western Ukraine???

No, they didn`t. So, what`s your problem, Russian lover???

Stop crying hysterically over injustices in the style of standard Polish denial - Polish crimes are good while foreign - bad. Try to acknowledge your Polish burden of doing a lot of harm to Ukraine in the past. And apologise at last. Only then can you complain about Ukrainians` refusal to cooperate.
