History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [185]

Good news - one of Polish nazis was convicted. Despite his honourless infantile claims of being a member of a reenactment group. He also pointed to Musk`s Nazi gesture as an excuse.

"Sitas" was the leader of the banned Pride and Modernity association, which emphasized that it promoted national and patriotic values. In May 2017, he organized the 128th birthday of Adolf Hitler. During the event, which took place in the forest near Wodzisław Śląski, Mateusz S. paraded in an SS officer's uniform.

He praised Adolf Hitler as the best strategist, commander and mind of all time, who had a vision, was admired by women. loved by kids, a decent man who promoted family values, patriotism etc etc Then he proposed a toast: "To Adolf Hitler and our fatherland, beloved Poland". The guests drank, chanting: "Sieg heil!"

Now his retrial has ended. In his closing argument, he insisted that he was not a Nazi, but a member of a reenactment group, and that he dreamed of wearing an SS uniform because it was designed by Hugo Boss. He also recalled that during President Donald Trump's inauguration, Elon Musk raised his hand in a Nazi salute and no one did anything to him.

These arguments did not convince the court in Wodzisław Śląski. Mateusz S. was sentenced to one year in prison without the possibility of suspending the execution of the sentence for propagating Nazism and illegal possession of ammunition. The verdict is not final.

No trial.

Be careful coz your own wife might accuse you of various misdemeanors and she will shoot you without a trial.
She knows under which pillows you keep your guns. Ha!!

History / Can a nation totally change its characteristics and national character throughout history? [79]

One of the noble Polish characteristics, going back to 19th century so quite old now, is expressed in the motto:
For Your and Our Freedom!

It meant that Poles/Polesses weren`t so selfish and apart from their own independence, they also fought for others`.

That is why, if today it happens that Nazi Israel is attacked by imperial Russia, we will come to Israel`s aid coz it is our duty to promote independence and sovereignty. We are already doing it in case of Ukraine.

News / Will Poland as a NATO member be drawn into the Israel/Iran war ? [250]

Judging by current moods in Poland, she won`t be drawn into a war between Israel and Iran.

It would be a different case if Israel was attacked by Russia. Then we can talk. Nazi or not, we help every country attacked by Russians.

Poles from Palestine Notify Warsaw Prosecutor's Office. They Want to Prosecution of Israeli Crimes
Gaza war

The Palestinians are counting on, among other things, the arrest of Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kish, who is going to Poland to commemorate the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
The reports were filed on Friday (24.01) at approximately 10:30 a.m. A group of Palestinians with Polish citizenship, including two doctors - Waleed Abumoammar, head of the oncology department at Głowno Hospital and surgeon Ahmed Alsaftawy, as well as a third person who does not reveal his name to the media, report suspicions of a crime being committed by representatives of the Israeli authorities.

The persons concerned by the notification are Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Galanta, and Education Minister Yoav Kish, who in the coming days will travel to Poland to commemorate the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

I will have a party

You can have a party after you erect a monument to the memory of me and my sacrifice. Once a teacher, always sacrificial - that`s my motto.

Travel / Transport adventures in Poland [83]

He is, in the sense he is ready to use imperial Russians as a tool for gaining control of Poland by Polish nationalists, under Russian occupation. Just like Polish communists did in the past.
The fact that he sneers at Russians and considers them barbarians doesn`t change his readiness to collude with them when necessary. His role model, top nationalist Dmowski had similar views.

Life / Specific information about Polish healthcare system? [19]

free healthcare money.

Don`t be envious. This free care is first deducted from our income. 6% annually.
PS. I go to doctors once in a blue moon, it means I lose 6% of my annual income for nothing. It is thousands of PLN each year. :):)
PS2. Of course it is self mockery coz my 6% insurance also covers my family.

"Is God Anti-Gay ?

First of all, why this question to start a debate about Goddess??? Is Gayism such a crucial matter to you?

Ephesians 4:14-15

Secondly, why are you using texts which are not based on real Gospel, by a man who wasn`t a true disciple of Jesus aka one of 12 Apostles???
Paul`s text is his own private interpretation which doesn`t have any impact on us. You could easily use another text by a contemporary preacher, e.,g Martin Luther King and the effect would be the same.

The latest English interview by Future President of Poland Mr R Trzaskowski. Fluent and glib as usual. :):):)

In the interview he is asked and talks about his plans for presidency. He also admits he is centrist. Like me, that is why I support him wholeheartedly.

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [442]

so disrespectful toward the English?

And why not if some English expats in Poland behave so stupidly?? It is their own fault. They lie, cheat, argue, diminish and spread false rumours about you.
No decent Polish man or woman can put up with it for long and they end the case by kicking those English hooligans out. To which the latter cry out: How rudely I was treated!!!!

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [168]

English/British rudeness

It can be really unbelievable sometimes. Especially rudeness by British misadapted expats who haven`t taken to Poland due to being too British at heart. Such people shouldn`t leave Britain coz they spoil the opinion for all other Brits with their sick pranks.

Travel / Need advice on trip to Poland [21]

Some foreigners are shocked that law is respected in banal life situations like patiently waiting for the green light at pedestrian crossings even when no cars approach. Polish friends of foreigners who come here even warn their guests against trying to break the rules coz you never know.

A recent example: American tanks or not, fekking Ordnung muss sein. We are in Poland, not Germany!!!!

American Abrams tanks got stuck near Piotrków after a security check. What problem did the armored equipment encounter?

As reported by the Trybunalski.pl portal, on Monday, January 20, the Road Transport Inspectorate conducted inspections on the S8 near Piotrków. One of them concerned tanks. As it turns out, the armored vehicles could not continue.

As we have unofficially established, the transport of five tanks was stopped on January 20 for a routine inspection on S8 near Piotrków. During the inspection, it turned out that the carrier did not have the appropriate permit, so continuing the journey was impossible. The armoured vehicles were directed to the parking lot. Only after the appropriate permits were presented did the transport continue its journey.

Language / Puns and language games in Polish adverts [33]

We can call it an advert for the presidential campaign running now in Poland.

One of candidates is called Nawrocki and his assistants/PR experts invented an amasing pun which has real reference to the guy as he used to box a lot in the past.

Nawrocki aka Now Rocky is the new slogan.

Amasing. Some people are really impressive thinkers when it comes to such inventions.

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

Each day a new scandal breaks out and I don`t have time and energy to cover them all coz I am too old.

The latest one: a female politician, a member of the current gov, was caught lying about her education - she claimed she had an MA in English philology while she had only a BA degree.

The revelation by the right-wing media that Minister Katarzyna Kotula does not have a master's degree is supposed to be just the beginning of the scandal surrounding the politician. " We are not reacting for now, maybe the matter will dry up. But we hear that journalists are digging further, so we are waiting to see how things develop ," one of the important politicians of the Left tells us.

In the party we hear that the case is a "scratch on Kotula's image" and that "what she worked for for many years has been stupidly destroyed". But there is no shortage of voices that it will also harm the Left itself.
