Involuntary celibate. Yeah, that's definition of any straight man still married to the same woman after a year.

Really?

gated suburban

Who knows; never having been in a gated suburb, I wouldn't know. Or care.

I do however know that 100,000 people turned out tonight to make change, so this should suggest to you how strongly people feel about it here. If you'd ever actually met a Pole, you'd know how rare it is that people take to the streets here.

Jaro has now started something he can't finish, and knows now that it will finish him.

marathon sessions which would exclude any possibility of you having social contac

Or just while drinking coffee at work. Those of us who have real life relationships (as opposed to yours, with your pudgy little hand) like most of the people out protesting tonight manage to juggle work and home life rather well. They don't appreciate small-minded bigots trying to interfere with their lives; including their right to do whatever they choose with their bodies.

And the protestors will win this battle...

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

Those rightards copy everything like parrots from intelligent people and are unable to think on their own.

They have no original thought at all. Just personal fear and a deliberately nasty and negative way of expressing it.

Work / Are Indian dental qualifications recognised in Poland? [22]

is indian bachelor of dental surgery degree enough for me to apply for a post graduation degree in dentistry in poland.

Providing the university and qualification are accredited, yes. If not, usually no.

You will need to contact the institution you want to study at; there are currently several medical academies in Poland that offer dentistry courses in English.

Without the repeated failure of operationalising Marxist thought

Sadly it's never truly been done. Though it will.

Meanwhile, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and people have to go out on the streets protesting decisions made on their behalf.

Life / How much money to comfortably retire in Poland (a married couple)? [57]

But they voted for it.

But a substantial minority did not,

17 million (out of 65 million) voted for it.

loads of Brexiteers would apply for a newly created 'special' EU passport that allowed them the old freedom of movement etc.

Thousands would. I don't hold out much hope for the current ECHR lawsuit, however there is at least a chance.

I know the last 978 times didn't work,

Rather like capitalism...

didn't work

It was tried once by the wrong people.

Without alchemy, we'd never have had science...

"[to provide] each ability according to its merits"

From each according to their ability: to each according to their need is a fair philosophy.

was this sabotage or ignorance?

It's in their interest to bring him down too...

It's just a source.

And a crap one.

I'm not going to do all the heavy lifting for you all the time.

You'd be unable.

PiS and Konfederacja horribly misreading public opinion and making the gaffe of the decade

Probably the biggest own-goal in (recent) Polish history.

The next protest (is it tomorrow?) is going to be massive.

You think that's a reliable source?

Hahaha.

Jaro's TV station however freely sprays the word around against any moderates who call out the PiSuarzy...

a model democrat:

Who doesn't care what the people think.

- all the other political options, especially those on the right, were called "fascists"

Were they really?

capitalism is bad

Nothing controversial or unusual about that...

or will I have to qualify by jumping through hoops?

Because of Brexit, there are likely to be hoops to jump through. There will still be people wanting to settle in the rest of Europe, and by the time you come there may well be an agreement between the UK and Schengen.

but it's not a user-friendly country for newcomers.

This is true.

I'd push it back to 1970 and then it's not the worst idea in the world

I'd not have a limit; it depends on the person. Plus, especially for a senate/HoL it's good to have centuries of combined experience.

lots of people were working hard to free and build a new country - that includes people from all sides of the current debate.

This is true. People who put their country first.

Yes, just as much as you are.

The difference is that you are currently sober. Dolno isn't.

Joseph Stalin, a great liberal democrat from the USSR

A liberal democrat? Or an authoritarian in the PiS mold...

And some of them have indeed been purged quite recently

QED.

the driver badly wanted to go through

So badly he drove over a protestor.

Something whixh all the other drivers that day managed not to do.

Straightforward PiSoviet intimidation tactics.

charged

Agreed. And tried in a court that doesn't have a PiS appointed 'judge'.
