it was 700 flights by a single politician - he flew to Gdańsk allegedly to walk his dog on occasions - 700 flights in the period I mentioned means he flew about every 3 days

do you realize that Kuchciński's family attended only to seven (literally seven) flights that would take place even if they didn't attend - and Borusewicz flew to Gdańsk 700 times between 2007 and 2013 - it cost the budget 400 thousand zloty - just realize how stupid you sound when you maintain that PO is better than PiS in the light of these facts - Tusk was also known to fly home to Gdańsk almost every weekend often on Thursdays already - just vote for Lewica altogether - at least you will have your much wanted homo marriages


and let's keep it this way

more serious things happened during the PO rule as per abuse of state funded flights - you just need to take a look at Wiadomości TVP which you presumably despise - I'm trying to make you understand that you imposed a filter on reality - this filter includes not watching Wiadomości

this is one of the examples of abusing state funded flights by PO officials - fakt.pl/wydarzenia/polityka/senat-bogdan-borusewicz-latal-wyprowadzac-psa/rvgcw44

pawian is a troll himself - this is the so called wisdom of the stage - when it was en vogue among PO politicians to seek consiliation with Russians he probably saw no problem whith Russians - now he sees Russian agents and trolls everywhere (except for the PO of course) - I'm not sure this is a curable case

btw I considered voting for Kukiz as a protest vote because of new social policies of PiS (but ended up not going to vote for reasons I would like not to mention here)

I still don't know if I will vote for PiS in the autumn election but I certainly will not vote for PO, SLD, PSL or Wiosna, Korwin is out of question as well for various reasons - I don't have much to choose from

you answered yourself catfish - there are records of giant catfish from Oder going back to 15th century - Vistula is probably better suited for big catfish now than the Oder

History / Communism fell 20 years ago, Poland led the fight since WW2 [339]


maybe according to you Wałęsa was not agent Bolek and Kiszczak archives are a fake - maybe he doesn't lie now about his past - maybe he kept his promise of 100 000 PLZ for every Pole - maybe he was not attempting to gather support among the military to make a virtual putsch and gain all the power - yeah the history was ever so simple for Poland

this goes back much further back in history (at least to the times of the partitions, but I guess even to the middle of the 18th century)

well i'm not fluent but I can hold a basic conversation even though I haven't practiced in years and it's been long since I watched Czech TV now -we bought a satelite Polsat subsciption and there are no Czech channels in the package - anyway I can understand much more than I can actively would be use in a conversation - but it is similar in all languages I know to some extent including English

Vlad I must admit I very much like the Russian language especially it's melodiousness - but I like quite a number of languages for their sound including German

to my embarassment though when I met Russian people in England in the early 2000's most of words that came to my mind while trying to speak Russian were Czech - to my justification after my school years i had almost none contact with your language and instead I watched a lot Czech TV which I preffered to Polish TV stations - I live near the border with the Czech Republic

hmm it's not that I knew every single Russian word you posted to be honest - more like about half of them - but I am not surprised with similarities between the two languages

Language / Slavic languages words similarities with Polish [238]


hmm maybe I put too much trust in my fellow Poles - I personally learned Russian in elementary school and was ever since aware of things our languages share (but also in notable differences) - well we should bear in mind that there are now generations of Poles who barely had ever contact with Russian (but my 10-year-old nephew knows cyka-blyat from web-based games :P

it's ok Vlad, we all know that Russian and Polish have similar vocabulary in their cores - then didn't stop both nations to fight wars though - hopefully we won't see any more of these

Rich - gays are indeed born gay - buuuut - gays were not created gay - being gay is a matter of a choice made many incarnations before - a choice that was further reinforced through subsequent decisions - the choice was made because the soul in question held females or a female element responsible for the fall in consciousness instead of accepting the soul's sole responsibility - it is similar with lesbians - the picture is further complicated by the fact that many souls in present were forced to inhabit the bodies of the sex that is not preferred by the soul - that's why you have effeminate gays and butches on the opposite side of the spectrum
