Wałęsa wasn't scared because he was brought to the shipyard by SB on a motorboat specifically to dismantle the strike which he almost managed to accomplish

Dougpol is just furious he cannot effectively change anything in Poland by means of his own powers (the powers he believes he has) that's why he comes here and moans

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


first of all Kaczyński would never tell Duda to eat **** or probably anybody - he sort of has manners - the other thing is Kaczyński and Duda played in the same team but now Kaczyński has to take into account that Duda might not agree with him on some points although they still mostly play into the same goal

the only major SKOK scandal was with SKOK Wolomin that was run by the aquintances of Bronisław Komorowski from former WSI (military secret services) - if there were any involvment of PiS in the SKOK Wołomin which happened long before PO lost power - PO would thouroughly investigate it including setting up a partliamentary commission like the one that PiS set up to investigate the Amber Gold affair

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]


Walesa is an ego maniac, who among others promised every adult person in Poland 100 000 000 in old Polish zlotys to secure his presidency in 1992 - even now this amount is a rather biggish sum for an average family in Poland (100 000 000 PLZ is more than 20 000 PLN in current prices) and he is a major traitor of the people

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]


mafketis never had a foreskin so he doesn't know what it is like - so he resorts to some wild imaginations

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

I think (I may be wrong though) that it was Jewish doctors in the US that spread the notion that circumcision is somehow medically beneficial in order for Jews not to stick out like sore thumbs with their circumcised penises

very good point

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]


johnny just from my experience - I live over 40 years with a foreskin and never had any health issues caused by it even though I not always took shower or bathed every day - in fact in my childhood I only bathed once a week - and not a single health problem caused by the foreskin - so medical pro's of circumcision are in my view rather dubious - I also never heard of anyone I know have issues because of having a foreskin - do you want more proof circumcision is completely unnecessary

News / Poles march against Mandatory poisoning by vaccines [202]


if you die or face other serious health problems because of vaccination it surely was a bad idea to undergo it

Law / Old Polish money banknotes - what's their value today? [415]

the fact is nobody in Poland appart from narrow financial circles calls our currency PLN instead of złoty in everyday speach - there are even millions of people in Poland that are happily unaware of it being code named PLN

Law / Old Polish money banknotes - what's their value today? [415]


it says on Polish notes that the currency is called złoty - PLN is an expat newspeak

Work / Additional freelance work in Poland - ZUS, taxes? [11]

ok I just read up - starting from this year if your 'zaliczka na poczet podatku dochodowego' or monthly due tax is lower than 1000 PLN you don't have to pay it that month but you have to include the income in the tax return you file at end of the fiscal year

Work / Additional freelance work in Poland - ZUS, taxes? [11]

it should be done on a monthly basis yes if you run your own business (which you do when you are a freelancer) - but the final 'rozliczenie podatkowe' will determine if you need to pay additionally (because you crossed the income threshold), don't need to pay anything or receive some paid tax back

Work / Additional freelance work in Poland - ZUS, taxes? [11]

if you work on a umowa o pracę, and the additional job is not another umowa o pracę you don't have to pay ZUS for the second job or for a business you own in most cases and certainly not in your case (the cases when you need to pay ZUS from your business (działalność gospodarcza) include a situation when your umowa o pracę doesn't pay you the minimum Polish wage) - but yes you are obliged to pay income taxes from your additional income - (19 or 32 per cent depending on your income as you stated) - you will need to file your tax return covering all of your incomes (well the ones you feel Urząd Skarbowy are able to detect)

Language / Issues understanding "to go" verb in Polish language [18]

iść means specifically to walk - if you are using some means of transport you use the verb jechać - you don't say . Idę samochodem but Jadę samochodem.

Pić is pronounced by English speakers as picz - pić means to drink picz means pussy - Chcę pić means I am thirsty (literally I want to drink) Chcę picz means I want pussy

Law / Climate change/environmental businesses or NGOs in Poland [66]

it wouldn't - especially if the outcome would be to allow the abortion on demand - according to polls more than 50 per cent of Poles don't want abortion on demand - but the supporters of it are more politically driven and would go to vote in such a referendum in higher percentage than the opponents

Law / Climate change/environmental businesses or NGOs in Poland [66]

it's a waste of money and a risk - a risk that the supporters of abortion on demand are much more politically active and driven and would outvote the silent majority - polls show that 50 something per cent of people in Poland are for the current abortion compromise - and if you ask me nothing should change about the matter

Law / Climate change/environmental businesses or NGOs in Poland [66]


the constitution would have to be changed - that means that would be a constitutional referendum
