Off-Topic / Energy-free rail from North to South? [54]

Yesterday, there was a 56th anniversary of "moon landing." Did you guys know that? Trump and Musk know this is all bullshit, but they keep the idiots unaware to keep them in check.

News / Poland to introduce border controls with Germany and Lithuania [101]

An interesting article with pictures: "A ride-along with Polish border guards."

The closest to my understanding would be: Dziewczyno = (My) Girl

Off-Topic / Will Digital Services Act (DSA) Be The End of PF? [20]

I believe it is wiser to consider how to elect free and intelligent individuals to govern your society. When tyranny imposes laws that infringe on freedom of speech, free people should think about how to change that. Perfect slaves only consider how such changes will impact them.

USA, Canada / Are Polish male students more physically confrontational compared to Canadian male students? [9]

Where I come from, in a Polish middle school I've often watched boys from "poor" families fighting other boys, and believe me - they were physically stronger than the ones from well-off families. Probably less sugar and garbage food plus more physical work made them stronger and more resilient. Besides, I don't think the OP mentions the well-being of the families, but I could be wrong.

We probably have more testosterone than other nations; it could come from our chivalrous genes ;) But "boys will be boys" is losing its appeal it seems.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

You cannot compare Poland to the US. Poland is a much different country. People / neighbors know each other and watch their neighborhoods. While in the US a gun may be necessary to have for home protection, in Poland it's not a must. With today's technology, a criminal is very likely to get caught. Cameras are everywhere. It's not 1980-ties any more.

Off-Topic / Energy-free rail from North to South? [54]

To supplement my post above, I asked: "What was the computing power of the WHOLE WORLD in 1972? Was it greater than today's iPhone?" The answer is below. So they traveled to the moon (about 220K miles distance from the Earth) and BACK, without any GPS and navigation systems, using a calculator we used back in the 1990ties. So many people get duped by this and other kind of propaganda, especially the confederate MAGA morons.

To have a good laugh, I ask an AI such a question from time to time.

News / The Iran war and Poland [826]


He is the mammon's b!tch. He's trying to run the country as his own golf resort, on tax payers money. It was the same story with Biden, but not on such a big scale as it is now.

Life / Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet? [147]

Maybe it's possible to see who Liked a comment. Then, you may be able to figure out what's going on (if the comments are liked / posted by the same usernames, it would suggest a trolling pattern). Also, think about the reason why these comments appear.

In the US, there was a time (still is) to try to blame the white folks on everything. Remember the viral racism crime hoax: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jussie_Smollett_hate_crime_hoax and others. If a powerful group wants to make a statement, they can do it this way. Maybe some activist / political group wants to portray Poles as stupid and hateful immigrants to move their agenda. Same happens today in the US as far as "illegal immigrants" are concerned.

Life / Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet? [147]

Most likely, they took real names from Facebook and Linkedin. Or just created a set of usernames like: perplexity.ai/search/create-20-random-polish-inspir-NXD_t32vST.5AfpkGOdfZw#0

I heard about scammers stealing names from LinkedIn profiles and posing as these persons when applying for jobs etc. But, again, the comments could be real, but to me unlikely considering what I posted above.

Life / Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet? [147]

I'd be careful about who actually posted it. The usernames sound like a real Polish First_ + Last Name + a number. Only a moron would publish their real name when posting insults. My best guess is these are bots posing as Polish people. They could still be real persons, but it would be weird considering the real names. I often receive spam from Africa with similar usernames.

Real Estate / Seeking Information on Property Purchase in Bieździedza (Jasło County) [2]

It can be checked. The best option is to hire a real estate agent in Poland who will do search for you. It may be possible to do it on your own, but it would require you to have all the addresses of the properties, maybe their tax ID at least.

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [165]

I like the old Turkish style coffee in Poland. Just pour hot water on your ground coffee and there you go. Nothing beats that. Starbucks is the McDonald's of coffee at a premium price.

Life / Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet? [147]

I guess Brits post similar comments about Polish women.. or Indian about British. It equally applies to all societies, all of which are screwed.

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

I don't get the gullibility and slave mentality of some posters here, but let them and their children keep learning from their own mistakes. The only "nuke threats" we know about is from the Hollywood studios based on the 1960s propaganda. They will keep using the theme until the genie is out of the box. Then they will move to threaten the gullible people with an alien invasion.

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


Remember G W Bush and his weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? The history repeats itself.

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

So they reap all the NATO benefits without paying anything.

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

Yes, but why Poland is forced to pay 3-5% of GDP and Israel is not? How can Poland get the same deal as Israel?

"No, Israel does not pay any NATO membership fees. Israel is not a member of NATO; it is designated as a major non-NATO ally by the United States. NATO membership is limited to countries that have formally joined the alliance through treaty, and Israel has not done so."

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

The question is, why isn't Israel in NATO paying 5% of their GDP like Poland and other EU country do? Polish taxpayers' money are spent to support a non-member. In real life, they call it fraud or money laundering?

History / Polish Army Day [82]

"Young people in Poland should be aware that the government is preparing to introduce large-scale military training for all adult men, with the aim of significantly expanding the country's reserve forces in response to growing security threats from Russia and Belarus. While this initiative is not a full return to compulsory military service yet, top Polish military officials have described the reinstatement of conscription as "inevitable" in order to build up the number of reservists to a level comparable to countries like Finland.

If you are considering moving to another EU country to avoid possible future conscription, keep in mind that Polish authorities could still require you to fulfill your obligations as a Polish citizen. If you are called up and do not respond, you could face legal consequences under Polish law, and a warrant for your arrest could be issued, potentially restricting your ability to travel within the EU.

Extradition for evading military service is rare, but unresolved obligations may bar you from returning to Poland or complicate your legal status in the EU."

Work / Self-employed American living in Poland? Is it possible? [54]

Just talked to someone who spent three weeks in Poland and returned back to the US. They said when they returned to the US (a major city) it felt like they are in a third world country compared to Poland. It was the other way when they visited Europe 20+ years ago. It didn't bother them back then as prices in the US were cheap, but now when they have to pay $12-15 per pound of beef, the country is no longer on top of their list. If you have a chance to stay in Poland, don't change your mind.

The CONMAN will complete the destruction.
