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
What if he started paid trolling two years ago?

different taste of strawberries in various places (like supermarkets vs market stalls) comes from differences in strawberry varieties to a large extent - those that are sweet and have a distinct taste decay sooner than those that are bland -
We can easily get strawberries and other fruit from supermarkets all year long but the taste is just different.

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

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

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
