News / Should Poland traitors face the death penalty? [105]

Riiiiiiight.....I work for the U.S. military, ya know, the leaders of NATO, so I think I'm fine.

Nope, you've openly admitting to arming Muslims. That puts you into conflict with Poland and Polish interests. Those weapons could be used to attack Poland one day, as is the fear of many Poles. Therefore, permanently banning you from Polish territory is the safe thing to do, and I urge our government to do it for our safety.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

and in turn everyone else ought to respect the right of our country to have widespread gun ownership via our 2nd amendment.

We certainly do respect it. The more that Americans commit mass murder on each other, the sooner the parasite will eliminate itself.

News / Should Poland traitors face the death penalty? [105]

All people who held positions of power during communist rule should be summarily executed, without question, and without delay.

Such an American view of things. Fortunately, Poland is a genuinely Christian country, which means we don't execute but rather forgive people for their sins.

The EU doesn't have the death penalty for crimes, but certainly an exception should be made for treason and espionage.

Certainly. I assume you'll be first to submit to a detailed background check at the border, including enquiries as to just what you're doing in the Middle East. Any collaboration with potential enemies of Poland should result in a permanent ban from Polish territory.

Given that many people in Poland view Islam as a dangerous enemy, I think you're screwed. I certainly can't imagine that the average right wing voter wants someone in Poland who is openly helping to arm Muslims.

USA, Canada / What Airline do you take to Poland from Chicago? [98]

Why would you do that when you already stated that they only offered access for $30.

I think you really are betraying your lack of knowledge of airport lounges if you don't know the difference between status lounges and those that you can enter by paying $30.

You really are utterly hilarious. Still, at least the OP now knows exactly how little weight to put on your claims about travelling but air.

I must remember to try using the BA lounge in T5 in Heathrow next time with my Miles and More card from LOT. I wonder how long it'll take them to stop laughing at me.

Still, nice to see Johnny repeatedly prove that he has no idea about how lounges work in airports.

Anyway, given the constant delays on LOT, I'd avoid them when travelling to Poland unless the final destination is one that can't be easily reached, such as Szczecin or Rzeszów.

Yes, it's very obvious by Johnny's claim that LOT passengers can use the AF-KLM lounge that he simply googled which lounge was closest to the gate that he thinks LOT use.

It really helps if one has even a basic understanding of flying before attempting to lie about it.

Clearly you've never flown anywhere if you think that Business class passengers on Star Alliance get free entry to Sky Team lounges.

It's ok, I understand that you've never been in a lounge before. You've also made another claim that proves you know nothing about those lounges, but you can work that one out for yourself.

Johnny, if you're going to lie, at least lie properly.

The Air France-KLM lounge isn't accessible for people flying with LOT, as AF-KLM belong to SkyTeam and LOT belongs to Star Alliance.

It's safe to say that if you can't even lie correctly about lounges, the rest of your post is likely to be a fantasy.

USA, Canada / What Airline do you take to Poland from Chicago? [98]

No worries, I thought the website was too strange to be the official website. Then again, have you seen the official O'Hare website? It's not much better!

So what we have here is Johnny using an unofficial website to justify his claim. Needless to say, it's obvious that he's never been near O'Hare in his life.

The official web site of O'Hare Airport

That's not even the official website of O'Hare. It's just a random website on the internet that Johnny found to try and prove his point.

I'm not sure if they'd configure the plane with First or much Business, however what they have should be comfortable.

One issue with LOT is their lounge access at O'Hare - unless it's changed recently, they were only offering access to the crappy lounges that you can enter by paying $30 on the door, even if you were flying Business with them.

I still wish LOT on domestic flights would do something about the appalling slowness of the turnarounds. They seem to take forever to board the Dash-8's, even on very very short sectors.

Top top for you

Don't invent phone calls, for a start.

Still, according to the website he posted - Terminal 5 is also the Aer Lingus terminal as well as many others. So, it's clearly not the LOT terminal, not least because LOT only fly once or twice a day from there.

I can't stand those things. LOT sometimes use them on the Prague route and I hate each flight on them.

I like them, but the baggage restrictions and the need to take a bus to/from the terminal winds me up every time. I don't think I've managed yet to take a flight that wasn't delayed in some way with them.

I'm fond of LOT's Embraer's though, and I wish they'd get more to use on domestic flights.

I've never been into the non-Schengen part, though I see they were extending the exit controls last time I was there. I'll have a look again in a couple of weeks when I have to transit through Okęcie on a domestic connection (going to Rzeszów, much quicker to fly), though the endless hassle with the Dash-8's on internal flights really annoys the hell out of me.

That's the first time I've ever heard anyone referring to a corridor as a terminal, unless you're speaking about some of the airports Ryanair used to fly to back in the day.

Just fly with LOT its A LOT easier!! LoL

I'd avoid LOT at all costs, they've got horrendous problems with delays.

They don't even have their own terminal at their main base, Warsaw Chopin.

Do they even have their own gates? I've been in transit through Okecię a few times and never seen any logic to the gate allocations.

As for LOT in Chicago.

Posts 18/19. LOL. Don't even have their own gates at ORD, let alone their own terminal.

News / Poland Sports News [1079]

National Polish football team has scored in their last 10 games in a row.

And yet they were so rubbish that they went out of the Euros before Wales.

News / Polish lorry driver attacked by migrants in Belgium [21]

Very much so. There are no limits on immigration, student visas/residence permits are easy to come by and cheap, and with so many multinational companies here now, it's easy to find work.

Poland isn't standing up to the EU at all. It's all hot air, nothing more.

As for "hordes of third world immigrants", Poland has one of Europe's most liberal immigration policies.

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

Pilsudski wanted to set up Intermarium as a defense against both east and west.

As the West was a threat in those times. If the West had been as it is today, Pilsudski would have been first to ally with the West, no doubt recognising the huge advantages that a political, economic and military alliance could offer against the Russian menace.

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

In his lifetime, a period torn by war, conflict and the growing threat of nationalism and fascism, people could only have dreamed of our European Union.

Indeed, his grand hope was for something similar to Austria-Hungary. The European Union would have been a logical extension of that, not least because it would have allowed all people to live in prosperity and for nations to thrive.

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

Hence Pilsudski and others seeing Poland's best interests as neither looking east nor isolation, but looking very firmly westward.

Exactly. The geopolitical reality means that Poland has two choices - to look West, or to look East. PiS are now talking about 'enhanced cooperation' with Belarus, which tells us exactly what they intend. Anyone that's actually been to Belarus can see that it's a miserable dump of a place, with sour faces everywhere and very little to be joyful about.

They both loathed the whole pan-Slavic Ciemnogrod thing.

It's an easy concept to hate. I can't see any way for Poland to ever coexist with Russia, and the two great pan-Slavic experiments of the 20th century failed miserably.

Even anyone that visits Slovakia can see how Slovakia is similar, yet different.

A strange thing, but I have never met any republicans among Russians!"

That's a wonderful quote, and describes Russians perfectly.

He was a fascinating man - he always looked West, and would have been a huge supporter of our European Union.

Without a shadow of a doubt. He would have clearly identified the European Union as a safety net against the two great powers, and the ability to tie up Germany economically without sacrificing the Polish identity would have been a huge thing for him.

Work / Amway Poland - work - salary [18]

It's basically a sinister cult, linked to right-wing Americans.

There are apparently a lot of parallels between these MLM businesses and self-declared Christians in the US. I can't find the article now, but it's the similarity in religious language and the fact that many of these "independent business owners" are stay at home women that makes them such easy targets.

This isn't the exact article, but it points to how many of these companies were founded by Christians as they had an easy source of "business owners" - christianitytoday.com/ct/2015/december/divine-rise-of-multilevel-marketing-christians-mlm.html
