Could be, but that's not what I meant when I wrote "Those are accurate to this day".


That's a pentagram though... 🤨

Those are accurate to this day:

German-made (1944 probably):



From this article:

Polish made (1920) - it reads "BOLSHEVIK FREEDOM":

Wow...


WTF...

Did you manage to take anything with you?


Which fire are you asking about?

Travel / Kielce and the area - amazing Polish Pocket Knives live there [105]

@Lenka, oh damn... Did that fire start during the day or at night?

It must be this fire - firefighters got a call around 22:15:

kielce.wyborcza.pl/kielce/7,47262,30517257,dawny-szpital-mswia-przy-ul-ogrodowej-znow-sie-pali-plona.html

Weird, it's pretty far away from where I live o_O The same building was on fire a few days ago, but I didn't smell anything at that time - either the fire is bigger this time or maybe wind is blowing in this direction... Fortunately, it's a vacant building, so hopefully noone got hurt... Apparently this building was bought not long ago and two fires already... 🤔

Btw, where is Grzegorz Braun when you need him lol He missed his calling, it seems ;D

@Velund, how do you know that it worked? lol


Wouldn't that exclude you? :))

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]


Oh, so it is on paper? How cute :) In PRL constitution we had it on paper too - freedom of speech, free press, freedom of assembly, etc. Imagine that lol

But I was asking if you'd like to have it in RuSSia for real, not only on paper.


LOL


Sure, as long as they don't publicly criticise Putin and his cronies and the corruption and the RuSSian invasion of Ukraine, RuSSian army, etc. and they don't become a leader of real, democratic opposition or they try to go against Putin in elections with some chance of doing well, etc. :))

@Torq lol

Soon, hopefully :):

@Bobko, would you like something like that in RuSSia? :D

I don't reference the US and its First Amendment. You keep banging on about them :)


Neither can you. You can't call Poland and EU or Western countries "a cruel joke" and conveniently "forget" about your beloooved RuSSia and Putin, which is much worse in terms of freedom of speech, democracy, etc. :))) So, I'll keep reminding you about your beloooooved RuSSia and Putin :)))))

@Novichok, what do they mean by "indecent"? How do you decide about it and how do you measure it? :D

theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/06/russian-parliament-outlaws-online-disrespect

"The law, which critics say is reminiscent of Soviet-era legislation used to target political dissidents, stipulates fines of up to 100,000 roubles (£1,155) for "indecent" online posts that demonstrate a "blatant disrespect for society, the country, Russia's official state symbols, the constitution, or the authorities"."

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]

@Novichok, you can also ask a RuSSian judge what is considered as insulting RuSSian government officials, including Putin, RuSSian state and RuSSian flag :))):

"Vladimir Putin signed a restrictive new law that makes it illegal to insult government officials - including him":

That includes RuSSia then, because how would you call the law about "discrediting" the RuSSian army and mercenaries fighting for RuSSia? Protecting army's and mercenaries' feelings :)))


There's a Christian cross hanging in the plenary chamber of the Polish Parliament. No menora there.


Ask a Polish judge :) You can also ask a RuSSian judge what "discredits" a RuSSian army and what doesn't while you're at it :)))

@amiga500, would you be also so cool about it if a Muslim or a leftist MP vandalised a Christmas tree in the Polish Parliament? :)

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]


Including Christmas trees? :) You think that Christmas trees shouldn't be set up in the building of the Polish Parliament, for example? :)


Don't lie. I wrote that this is a "tradition", not "long tradition". And whether it can be considered long or not is subjective anyway.

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]

Actually, Braun could have been charged and his immunity revoked already earlier this year for vandalising a Christmas tree in a court in Kraków in January and threatening police officers, but it looks like PiS blocked it - PiS still had hopes at that time for a coalition with Konfederacja:

Well, I answered it anyway.


Yes, the investigation only started and the prosecutor will decide what to charge him for. According to this Polish police officer there are a few possibilities:

Article 119 kk. - § 1
Article 157
Article 195
Article 257

Braun as an MP still has an immunity though (and he was using this fact on numerous occasions, so there was not much "courage" involved).

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]

@Velund, this thread isn't about the RuSSian invasion of Ukraine.


There's no such law. That's not what jon357 wrote about, neither did you, so stop manipulating.


Tradition? :) (I mean the Presidents wishes and lightning candles for Hanukkah in the Parliament and stuff like that)


The tradition of lightning the candles for Hanukkah at the presidential palace was started by Aleksander Kwaśniewski and it was continued by all the later presidents. Kwaśniewski was also visiting Polish Tatars. Hanukkah candles have been also lit in the Polish Parliament for the last 17 years or so.


No, of course not. Why are you confusing two different issues? You asked why Hanukkah candles are being lit at the Polish Parliament. And you got your answer. In case of the law about offending religious feelings no religion gets a preferential treatment.

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]

@Crnogorac3, Braun's supporters are active on the internet, but they are in minority in Polish society :)


Another anti-Semitic, deranged psycho.


Hmm, RuSSians are genocidal monsters, so I guess we must act against them at all times, including crashing Orthodox religious holiday celebrations, according to your "logic".

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]

@Velund, or why is the Polish president and the first lady posting official wishes for Christian Orthodox and Greek Catholics living in Poland and not for Pastafarians or Voodoo practitioners?:

What do you think, Velund?

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]


And there are Christmas trees in the Parliament.


Yes, exactly.


Polish presidents aren't meeting with and visiting any Pastafarian or Voodoo communities in Poland. But they do meet with and visit Polish Tatars who are a Muslim community. Why do you think is that, Velund?:

No. We have such a law in Poland, in case you haven't noticed. And I prefer to live in Poland :)


And you don't. Is anyone forcing you to move to Poland? Does this particular law in Poland affect your life in the US? No? Then what's the problem? lol


No, he's been suspended. And it doesn't look like they're particularly in favour of throwing him out. Bosak said that they care only about the opinion of their voters:

wiadomosci.wp.pl/eksces-brauna-w-sejmie-bosak-zabiera-glos-6973654096431776a

That's a far-right party, so you can imagine what their voters must be like (and their views).

I prefer to live in a country where offending religious feelings is penalised rather than in one where insulting "political feelings" is illegal :)


I'm not aware of him having any sane "cause". He claims that Judaism is "satanistic" lol He's not right in the head.


It takes being not right in the head to think that Judaism is a "satanist cult".

1. In Poland you can only slaughter an animal outside of your farm or slaughterhouse if the animal got into an accident, got injured and it has to be killed off.

2. You can't have sex in public in Poland, no matter if you're heterosexual or gay.

3. Female genitalia mutilation and circumcision of boys isn't a public ceremony. Also, female genitalia mutilation is illegal in Poland.

Lightning candles in public isn't illegal in Poland.

So, your comparisons are absurd.

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]


We have laws in Poland that Braun broke. And the prosecutor started an investigation already. So, your feelings concerning this don't matter.


If he disagreed with something he could express his disagreement in a civilised manner. Especially considering that he's a politician and not some random dude. He didn't and it looks like he may finally pay for this.

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]

@Novichok, I didn't write anything about interrupting anything being "OK". I only wrote that noone in the right mind would slaughter an animal in the f*cking Parliament. Your comparisons are, as often, ridiculous and unrealistic.

Polish history.


Noone would do that, because that would be gross. Lightning candles isn't gross.
