Study / Private Universities vs Public Universities in Poland [31]

If so, do they offer financial support?

no they don't offer financial support (unless you are a refugee) - on the contrary they want your money for tuition (unless you are a refugee)

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

All in all, the unfulfilled promises remain PiS` failure.

Platforma hadn't fullfill many more of their electoral promises and also added some corruption on top - so for me the choice is simple

Language / Am I the only person that can't sing in Polish at all? [48]

And that's why I can't sing in this language. It doesn't have a rhythm for rock music. Besides, feminine rhymes

have you heard of this band - youtu.be/y39vAfRmZoQ
- the lyrics have mostly masculine rhymes

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

and molesting Czeska is serious?

I don't even know what you mean by that - do you mean that Poland is pestering Czech Republic for Zaolzie - if so then you are very very wrong

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

oes 51% of Roman Catholic population means Polish majority?

Vlad - the point is those who want Lviv back are complete fringes of Polish society - it's a non-issue in serious politics in Poland

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

now it is completely screwed and it is the governments fault that they were unprepared for this,

is no better than that of PO

even if the tax regime is no better you still should take into account the state of economy which was very good thanks to PiS untill the pandemy struck - maybe your business was left behind somehow if you haven't experience a rise in income

News / PiS` magic tricks - the first budget without deficit in Poland [39]

@pawian

Who is wrong now??????

Jacek Rostowski did a couple of tricks to the budget so it appeared the deficit was lower than it was in actuality - for example he "lent" money to ZUS (or rather FUS) instead of marking it as budget expense - PO also separated the special fund for building roads from the budget so any loans it had to take was not counted as a budget expense

the first few years of PiS didn't rely on this tricks - 2020 marks a change in that respect on the path created by PO-PSL

Yes, I am misinformed coz I watch PiS TV too much. hahaha

my guess is you probably don't watch it at all - I also sometimes find TVP nerve grating - but you could sometimes read dorzeczy.pl niezalezna.p or wpolityce.pl just to have a different taste of things

read more on the subject - especially the media that you don't particularly like - the pardon pertained the restraining order not the crime itself (which the perpatrator served the sentence for)

living in an inforamation bubble leads to being misinformed, pawian

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

i am not a blind follower of PiS or Kaczyński - I think PiS is overspending (especially on social transfers) - but I understand their motives - one would think that a programme of a scale of the original 500+ would give PiS enough votes - but the votes didn't materialize untill PiS introduced even more spending - the original 500+ programme starting from 2017 was wholly funded by curbing the VAT fraud and smuggling of fuels to Poland

- now look what you've got on the other side: to quote Jacek Rostowski the former finance minister from PO "(for PiS social programmes) there is no money and there won't be any money" - now they say: we won't cut back on PiS social spending"- my ass

also I remember when media supporting PiS or trying to be objective were completely niche - because the public television almost sang in unison with TVN and Polsat

wpolityce.pl/polityka/507374-zaskakujacy-artykul-platek-w-gw-publicystka-broni-dude

here's an article by none other than professor Monika Płatek defending Duda

That is not democracy, that is dictatorship.

very strange dictatorship if you ask me - with free media (free and nasty)

JK moves his fingers and Duda blinks his eyes and moves his lips.

also Duda vetoed 9 bills that PiS wanted to have passed - I know it's not a huge number but that shows Duda is not merely a puppet

Yes, we have just seen this cooling off, pardoning a paedophile. hahaha

you only read headlines or the sources you read conveniently omit important facts: - the important fact is that Duda pardoned the person because of the victims (who are now adult) clearly asked him to (it was a within-family matter)

Fear.... komuchy are notorious cowards....

Trzaskowski is equally scared of a debate in TVP - so?
Duda said he would join a debate if all of the main tv channels agree to run one

News / PiS` magic tricks - the first budget without deficit in Poland [39]

8 years of PO/PSL rule - national debt increased by 400 billion.

i don't know where you get your figures from (probably Wyborcza) but the debt of the National Tresury rose by 142 billion PLN not 400

the National Treasury debt during PO-PSL rose in the years 2008-2015 rose by 291 billion

First that he was not in the Sejm which voted to raise the retirement age, and then he corrected himself and said .

forget about preaching to these people - they have made up their minds years before now (and believe in utter nonsenses: like pawian's belief that PiS is currently leading VAT scams)
