News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [957]

@mafketis
If there are members within PiS that wants to leave the EU, they are too power hungry to be able to get it through (otherwise they would had done it allready or cut off from rest of PiS long time ago)

I just cannot imagine a Poland-exit from EU as long as PiS is the governing party. As it has governed a long time and is still part of the EU

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [957]


Let's say it was in 2019

It seems highly unlikely as most Poles are pro-eu, which is why PiS has most votes as it's the largest pro-eu party in Poland. If Polish citizens wished to leave EU so badly, we would have voted Konfederacja en mass long time ago...

Language / I'm native Polish and I hate my own language. [106]

So I should have rather written:
"Novichok and his closest associates whom I wish not to name really, out of disrespect for them. Are clueless idiots and their logic is faulty and incomprehensable"?

Language / I'm native Polish and I hate my own language. [106]

So when I wish to underline their behaviour and how they ARE behaving, I still need to use "is"?

Language / I'm native Polish and I hate my own language. [106]

It's the individuals who are hard to comprehend. Not the Logic itself tho

Language / I'm native Polish and I hate my own language. [106]

Individual is? Individuals are?

They are right vs they is right

Sounds weird

@Novichok
Very bad translation... Missing the social context entirely

1: Logikę pewnych ludzi jest trudne do zrozumienia.

Would be translated more accurately in english as:

"The logic of certain individuals are hard to comprehend"
With a dash of resignation and thinking it incomprehensable that the person being spoken to is making such choices about his choice of words

In case of your english version it would be rather: He is an idiot

Apparantly you have no clue how to resolve conflicts. Normal people apologise and move on, so it's very clear what your goal here is.

And swiss cheese being swiss cheese -.-

@Joker
At least he knows when to apologise, I can't remember you doing that ever. The thing I remember about you is gossip, accusations and constant degrading attacks combined with pictures from a horrible villain with cartoon inspirations.

@johnny reb
And I apologise if I was too harsh, I just had to write.
We are good

@Novi
Oh I know perfectly well who the the aholes are, especially one who has so many he could be a swiss cheese mind you!

Excuse me? Only time I have been "bitching" about mods have been when it was too harsh penalties and in the avatar conflict.

I didn't start this thread

I don't give a rats behinds about any "powergames" any user does on this forum. Admin and moderators have the power tools here to silence, banish or whatever they are capeable of.

I see not only your own attemps at group politics on this forum, but also pawian, Paulina, joker, novichok, johnthrenumbers.

You all taking this forum waaaay personal, even smallest of texts upset you easily. Maybe cause you love this forum so much, but all act as if you hate it.

It would be a good day if the bottomfeeding jerks could just take the worst with them and leave!

That's mostly directed towards you JR and joker, and hopefully you can take you the suitcases of Novi and Str

Look in the mirror charlatan


That is a lie or a grave misunderstanding on your part, I have written that I live in celibacy now and I intend to keep it that way until marriage. It doesn't necesarily mean that I am a virgin

Ive also had a flancé so get your facts straight before accusing anyone fiend

Grow up! One would think you were mature enough to not drool over women just cause a women communicates with you.

You have lost every possible credibility in my eyes, and not only mine mind you. If you lack self control to such levels, you might as well leave this forum and join one which is more suitable for you. I don't know which website host desperate old farts, but you can take Novichok with you as well.

You two could create a team of «Obnoxious **** off's and deviants united» heck Str would be excited just to read it I guess.

Now sod off

@Ziemowit
Only need to open your eyes and look on the forums, most seem to point fingers at others while overlooking their own wrongdoings as a mean to deflect attention from their own bad behaviour.

A lot of accusations and a lot of self-delusions, glass cannons!

One of my favorites as well, really like the filming in it (angles, costumes and the personal rivalry between the judge and the colonel)

Problem with Polish movies is that people too few are translated in to other languages then English. I could easily translate all PRL movies to Norwegian if I only knew how. (As to when the proper text would show at the right moment)

I would enthusiastically worked for it to become a reality, as it's a hidden gem for most of north-western europe

Any party lead by Tusk would only be a hardliner towards internal opposition and soft versus conflicts on an international stage. One only has to look how softly Tusk tried to solve the Smolensk catastrophy

Polonia / Protect Andrei Poczobut (a journalist) against prosecution by the Belarusian dictatorship [49]

@amiga500
I agree that the EU has a very passive approach to the whole crisis, but calling PiS leadership wise&strong is... The kind of thing I would expect a blind loyalist to utter, which has no basis in reality and serves only as a form of underlying ones allegiance.

PiS major contributions to the situation in Poland has been

1. combating the feeling of rural areas being left out and forgotten by the state.
2. Having a firm stance towards the EU and communicate strongly when something can't be agreed upon (so when something is agreed upon, larger chance that it will last)

3. Having a pro-democratic stance towards eastern neighbours instead of quietly tolerating the situation (basically not giving up on them long-term)

Calling it wise or strong would be wrong, but it's positive achievements.

Strong would be if there would be a general mobilization of all/most who served in the armed forces and Warn that any further provocations will lead to an invasion of the state of Belarus as the Belarussian side doesn't respect the Polish-Belarussian border. (Risky however and could potentially lead to an escalation which both sides would rather not trigger)

And wise would be to host diplomatical talks with all leaders in eastern europe, especially inviting as many pro Russian states as possible in a location in Poland or neutral country to solve the crisis.

So far PiS have been more interested in hosing small fires and not take on the burning forest. It's a gigantic challenge which PiS might be very aware that they can't pull with chances of sucess

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [251]

@jon357
She first and foremost tries to emphasize the possible outcome of the effects of brain drain, and the expulsion of productivity and entrepenours. Societies in todays era are far more concerned with how to spend what we got rather then increase what we got so that there will be more to spend.

She tries to create a positive image of a hardworking man that takes responsibility for himself and creates jobs and businesses for his own growth, which others benefit from.

If anything it is very on topic with the brain drain happening in Poland where highly educated citizens seek better wages abroad. Autistic or not, this problem is very real. And I do wonder what can be done about it

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [558]

@Lenka
I think you misunderstand me...
There is a difference between police being called in solve a domestic dispute, straż miejska being called in and a department of child abuse being called in. What kind of jurisdiction they have and who they answer to! Soon by advocating for further interferance it can lead to an example of: PiS abducting kids from families of the opposition with such pretexts in a fully legal manner and backed by the majority.

I just wouldn't want that to happen, it's parents main responsibility, then further parts of the family, neighbours and community and not after that should the civil service be brought in.

Only situations where police/straż miejska should intervene is when the law is being evidently broken (fear for your own life/children and/or irresponsible amounts of drugs/alcohol involded which puts rest of family at risk)

Problem is that in most families that would need that kind of help, wouldn't call the police

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]


Let's be honest... Academia is dominated by left-wing voters. It isn't excactly 19th century conservatives at the universities, so topics to be researched mirror it aswell.

It's different when sociologists research: 1. Societies capability to handle a crisis during a lockdown

Compared to:

2. Why societies persecute minorities

Or:

3. The ethnical background of criminals in the UK

2&3 are far more politically motivated then nr. 1...

There should be a system in place, but not by The government cause they can abuse it towards their political opponents!

Government solutions should be last resort, not main objective to strive for. Otherwise people will think the government is responsible for everything!

I am strongly against any form of child robbery which uses abuse as a pretext

Depends, if technology regarding how cars would be charged changes? I didn't even imagine smartphones growing up.

Even when I now am out of the industry, I am quite certain that the nuclear option is first and foremost expensive (state will have to have influence over this) while the state budget won't have to use a groszy if panels will be distributed and sold by private companies.

Problem is that low quality firms offer bad quality panels which can lead to hazardous situations

The times of romans when barbarians were screaming at them have long gone, Germans are now a far more orderly people. Followers of law and order, hopefully a more greener future without throwing the society into a nasty turmoil which was the mark of 19th and 20th century.
