Language / Origin of / reason for spelling /tɕi/ as <ci> in the Polish language [11]

I'm almost 100% sure Polish "CI" is never pronounced as "TSI"

there are words or word elements in Polish where ci is pronounced as tsi - the chemical term cis comes to mind

cis is also a Polish word for a tree (yew) and in that case ci is pronounced as ci in Marcin

And that makes it ok?

I haven't said it makes anything ok - I never heard of the Banaś guy before - he probably wasn't screened enough by the special forces - if PiS could remove him they probably would because hi case is a thorn in PiS side - the thing is they can't - they can try persuading him to step down but he has so far shown no desire to

News / So rate but good deeds of Polish politicians [9]

the self proclaimed heroism of Biedroń

I'm not sure if it was self-proclaimed heroism on parts of Biedroń - as far as I know it was the account fire-fighters who on the spot gave to the media - as I said wpolityce.com gave quite a detailed account of the event by the father in question

Let`s wait a few days and we`ll see if it is such puff after all.

I seriously think you only read the title of the article - there are points in the article that if true could be enough to convict a couple of people (making personal data and various documents public) - but the sensationalist title is just nonsense - the title suggests some big cabalah involving hundreds of people?

Notice that he is completely silent on the embarrasing subject of trolling in the Ministry

what do you actually know about the 'trolling' - what are the details - how exactly were judges 'destroyed' - they write about exactly one person who used internet and some other means who tried to discredit a couple of judges - how is it a troll farm ? - znaj proporcje człowieku

People who vote for them are voters who were bribed by them to get a vote.

what would you do with those voters if they still insist on voting on PiS - do you have a final solution of PiS members in mind (let's get rid of all of them the PiS folk won't have anybody to vote, no?)

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

I don't trust communist record keeping about SB informants one bit more than I would trust old issues of Trybuna Ludu

yeah sure SB deceived itself with mass producing fake information - what they did though is rely on spoken word of trusted people - it's obvious because SB was just Kiszczak and 10 other honorable camarades - but sure everyone is entitled to his own opinion (also what Cenckiewicz states as his sources are a variety of documents not just SB archives) - everyone knows that communists never had any snitches because they didn't have to - the society was just loyal like that

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

They look as if they were no longer a person but a one big fat joke - a caricature. Its self-inflicted - mostly.

it's not self-inflicted - it's Gazeta Wyborcza inflicted or at least TVN-inflicted

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

Therefore I am not going to read any PiS` propaganda, cause you can`t deny that Cenckiewicz is one of major PiS propagandists

Cenckiewicz is a historian and he quotes a variety of sources in the article - I knew you wouldn't read the article but maybe some people who would like to learn a couple of facts about Wałęsa would

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

I didn`t ask you for sources, I asked you a simple question:

he most probably was a communist confident as soon as his time in the military and continued till the democratic Poland although at some point he probably played some game with the communists - however his political maneuver was heavily limited by the compromising material the communist secret services gatheren on him - this is my opinion - feel free to read the Cenckiewicz article though - sometimes it's good to face interesting questions about those you admire/follow/etc

Yes, tell us when he was one. And what he did when he ceased to be one.
And remember - no lies. OK?

read this pawian: niezalezna.pl/93236-tylko-u-nas-slawomir-cenckiewicz-obala-14-mitow-walesy - I have little hope you don't brush it off but since you wanted some sources here you go

the people that made that decision in good faith.

it is your good faith that many of the poeple you talk about were let off the hook in good faith

I also presume you don't think Wałęsa was ever an SB confident

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

as far as I know the budget draft includes very similar cuts in the funds Germany receives - would you call Mrs Merkel a failure then - btw it is not rumours - there is a draft of the EU budget by the EU Comission already proposed for negotiantions - negations are still ahead of us

very similar cuts in the funds Germany receives -

very similar percentage-wise
