Life / I saw Polish nationalism today [263]

Plus those fascists' and Nazis they were splitter of those lefties groups

Those nationalists who turn into neo nazis don`t care what splinter their ideology used to be. They only care about their nationalism which in extreme cases turns into neo nazism. You are such an example.

News / Famous Poles die - your memories [112]

Krzysztof Krawczy, pop singer. I remember him best from 1970s when his songs were very popular coz the communist radio played them all the time. He probably died of covid complications.

Drawing on glass, 1976

Travel / What is the ugliest city or town in Poland? [89]

But they have a medieval Main Square in Chrzanów at least. So, they are not so tragic.
For me, an ugly town or city is the one which hasn`t got such a Square - it applies to most industrial settlements built in 19-20 century. Even Łódż is ugly to me.

Chrzanów Old Town

Food / Is brain-damaging vegan fad growing in Poland? [176]

For me, Veganism is a stupid and potentially dangerous fad.

No, it is not. The growing meat consumption greatly contributes to the destruction of environment and depletion of planet`s resources. Better read about it coz you are gravely ill-informed.

News / Germany eyes Poland's economic miracle [44]

In the short term, Poland should suck the EU dry.

Yes. let them pay for everything they wronged Poland with.

In the long term they should be as brave as the UK and leave.

No, of course not, that would be utter stupidity.

They are all talk and no action.

You mean they only pretend to be against the EU but in reality they conform on all fronts?

Life / Communion money in Poland [27]

at least 1000 zloty! Is that the norm. Bare in mind my partner is the godmother,

Yes, godparents are supposed to give such an amount if they are considered well-off by the rest of the family. If not, 500 will be enough. That is why I have always tried to avoid being a godfather - coz I am mean. :):)

Genealogy / Looking for Polish Spelling of Last Name [17]

'Yungtuzski.'

The closest which comes to mind is Jankowski. Pronounced Yankofski. I had a class friend - Grzegorz Jankowski. We went different ways after elementary school.

Life / I saw Polish nationalism today [263]

And we saw the ugly (and only) face of Polish nationalism in full swing. The Polish ONR Hitlerjugend

That is a typical process that nationalism sooner or later evolves into fascism or neonazism. That is only a matter of time.

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

Have you heard PiS is going to announce another New Deal soon? Funny - more than half old promises unfulfilled but they are thinking of new ones.

Life / Mulberry trees not only in Poland. [16]

There is one problem, though. White mulberry fruit looks like a catterpillar or another larva to me. Whenever I see a picture of it, it reminds me of an insect.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]

Nope, it is in front of an apartment block in the city centre. Bears or boars don`t roam such areas. And it wasn`t the wind either.

Hint: it is empty.

Food / Is brain-damaging vegan fad growing in Poland? [176]

Is brain-damaging veganism a growing fad in Poland or do Poles know better?

Why brain damaging? If you have a suitable blood group like A, you thrive on veg, fruit, beans and other plant products. Like me - I eat meat and sausage but only by tradition - I have days when I consume only veg and feel great - my brain is doing fine, as you can see.

Life / Mulberry trees not only in Poland. [16]

What about your experiences with mulberry trees?

I planted two on the farm: black and white, but they are still too little to give fruit, of course.
In my childhood I tried the fruit only once - it was on holiday to another city. I liked it (black variety) but wasn`t really fascinated.

Yes, they must be rare coz you can`t buy the fruit practically anywhere - I have never seen it.
But I read a few articles about their beneficial influence.

This thread is very useful - we can share our experiences about fruit in our lives.

Travel / Best Places to eat in Wroclaw [24]

In Poland the best are pierogi (a kind of Polish dumplings)!

When we went to Wrocław on a longer trip, I took the family to a few milkbars - every day a different one. We never regretted it.

Just look in what amazing circumstances of nature you can dine in Wrocław milk bars.

Genealogy / Am I of Polish or German descent? [10]

Being an American today isn't all that great. I have lived outside the USA for two decades

When I read the first sentence, I thought you were talking about Trump. But the other one suggests you decided to leave under other Republicans, like Bushes.

Life / Polish TV is so goddamn awful! [7]

Polish TV is so goddamn awful!

Yes, state TV controlled by PiS is full of propaganda shyt patterned on after the propaganda of the communist regime at its best.
