Travel / Completely random views of Poland, a co! [80]

but i guess they wanted to put pis in there to be clever.

Yes, that was a clever play with words TVP and PiS.

that sign isnt even grammatically correct

It has nothing to do with grammar, it is a vocabulary thing, so called neologism.

morons should learn basic English gramma

Relax. It is Easter.

History / Poland or Germany: Which country rebuilt more of its architecture? [5]

Germans lately are rebuilding while Poles have gone modernist route.

Yes, because there must be balance in nature.

which do you think has done a better effort

I think the title question is wrongly structured: you probably wanted to ask: which country rebuilt its destroyed architecture more faithfully?

we talked about this topic here:

History / Polish Easter Tradition is also pagan! [47]

Dear guys, I am leaving for the Easter breakfast table now, so let me offer to all of you, both the "completely tolerant", less tolerant and normally tolerant members, these egg pieces as a symbol of peace and reconciliation.

Stay healthy and fine
during this Easter time. Ha!

News / Previous Poland's government corrupting the media. [125]

the fantastically corrupt and crook PiS party to recreate the PRL with only state media.

Yes, we thought that those nightmares wouldn`t return but they did, with PIS` help. 32 years have passed since the fall of communism but rightards are still mentally rooted in that old system.

Poland under this government is sliding backward.

Yes, and it is so painful to watch this process.

History / Poland's borders throughout history [47]

Which borders have changed the most and where?

Youtube offers a few animations which show the changing borders over centuries. In the 20th century we generally returned to the situation that existed in the 10th under Prince Mieszko I.

Life / How do Polish people treat their animals? [33]

I have an impression that in Russia, animals are better treated than in Poland.

Who knows? A former senator has just been charged with extreme cruelty after he killed his dog by hauling it behind his car.. Witnesses made a film but he denies all accussations and claims he loves animals. Sadist.

News / How could PiS better spend billions instead of 500+ ? [280]

high income families should not be receiving 500+

Exactly. However, they do and I am glad coz I can invest it in property which one day will be passed onto my kids. In the future, as working adults, they will have to repay the debt that the government is creating now to keep the benefit alive.

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

Which only supports my opinion that women are idiots.

That`s a typical deflection of yours. I provided you a number to prove that household violence is a real problem here yet you instantly blamed it on women. So, in your view, regular violence is women`s fault.

did you detect any attempt to dethrone you

Yes, it is pure clowning but through pathetic deflection.

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

This site with state poll results says:12% women experienced household violence from their partners. 6% of them regularly. That is a few hundred thousand women.

cbos.pl/SPISKOM.POL/2019/K_048_19.PDF

But it isn`t about numbers, it is about closing an eye or downplaying such incidents not only by the police or courts but the society in general. As I said, it has been slowly changing and the problem has gained proper publicity in the media.

No numbers =

Ha! You didn`t reject czarek`s post coz it suited your ideology. You reject mine coz it doesn`t agree with your views. Unfair approach.

Love / How do Polish men feel about gender equality? [780]

Poland is a matriarchy and polish women are put on a pedestal too much.

You have watched too many comedies like Seksmisja.

where violence against women is common you have to laugh

It isn`t so uncommon. You can read more and more about it - before you didn`t because women were embarassed to ask for help or when they did, they were ignored. Now the attitude is slowly changing.

Poland is one of the best places for women IN THE WORLD.

It is a myth. Stop spreading them.

Food / Barszcz in a bottle, how much water should I use? [8]

I bought a small bottle of red beet concentrate at the local polish cafe/grocery place.

To be honest, I don`t know anybody here who uses concentrate - if people do, they keep it secret. Embarassed? It is easy to cook your own borsch with real veg or use fresh or fermented juice.

News / How could PiS better spend billions instead of 500+ ? [280]

The only solution is to end feminism

By feminism you mean women`s right, correct? So you know it is impossible - women won`t give away the rights they have already won.

educate women to be family centric the way it used to be.

You don`t need to educate women about it coz it is their inborn trait. You need to educate men to be more family oriented and share the chores equally - it has been already proven by research that women are prone to have more kids when they receive a substantial support from their husbands/partners.

Genealogy / Polish looks? - part 2 [81]

This is a pure Pole though he doesn`t look typically Polish. I notice some Asian features which give pleasant impression.

Law / How long can an object stand on my property before it is considered «Mine» ? [25]

how long it takes before I can consider it mine

Ok, I checked it for you. Never is it going to be yours. You could claim the ownership of a movable property after 3 years but only on condition you don`t know the owner. If you do, you can`t claim it. Google the phrase Zasiedzenia rzeczy ruchomej (ruchomości).

When I mentioned 20 years in my first reply, it was correct but only in reference to real estate properties.

Law / Discrimination of clients and refusal of service allowed in Poland [3]

a anarchist bar will not let in konfedercja ultras.

Now you are talking about premises designed exclusively for chosen groups, while I meant those open to general public.

it's your business! enough of this Ethics Reich

So you are ready to close an eye to spreading ferment, tensions and animosities in the society? And to dividing people even more?

wants to force us to love everyone equally.

You don`t need to love them. Accepting them would be enough.

News / How strongly are Poles sure that president Duda defend Poland's interests ? [265]

A lot of weeks have passed but newly elected President Biden still hasn`t made an official phone call to his Polish counterpart, President Duda. AM administration considers controvercial ideological issues supported by PiS as an infringement on human rights. During one of Presidential debates, Biden even mentioned totalitarian regimes in the world like Belarus, Poland and Hungary.

Good. Let PiS rightists know they are not under special protection anymore and the Big Brother is closely watching their actions.

President Duda waiting for a phone call:
