History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

reasonably economical on fuel.

Plus thick steel. One of my former school mates refused to buy foreign cars for a few years in 1990s, he only bought Polonezes one after another, claiming they were the safest cars available.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

Q. How do you double the value of a Skoda?

Yes, my elder sister had a Skoda 125 in early 1980s and they sold it after a year coz the rust damage and mechanical repairs cost them a fortune. That was a wedding present from my parents.

so didn't make the connection of škoda = szkoda

I made it only as a boy. Later it disappeared.

I don't think you can even register maluchy anymore.

Of course, you can register anything as a vintage car. Then you get yellow plates.

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

probably were a cinkciarz, corrupt PRL official, smuggler, gangster, and/or had people sending you USD's.

Yes, I always wondered where one of my neighbours got his Fiat Mirafiori car from. :):)

But you omitted some groups: e.g. my classmate`s parents were dentists and they bought a brand new Polonez in late 1970s. An owner of a car service near my house drove another Mirafiori. And so on.

Those used to be imported to the UK back in the 80s as a cheap alternative

Cheap but with rich equipment - e.,g it had a rev counter, not so obvious in compact cars then.

News / Women`s Party in Poland - a good means to end Women`s Hell ? [62]

Hopefully it will continue. PiS can be stubborn and will need a concerted effort to defeat.

It has to continue. I wrote earlier that protests will die down gradually and it is nothing wrong, quite natural coz people usually get tired after a while and winter is coming. But they mustn`t forget what they are fighting for! Their own party or movement will constantly remind them of the need to remove PiS from power in 2023.

Yes, elections. It is good they are taking place in 2023 coz we need this time for PIS to discredit themselves even more. Then, with 20% support from their core fans, they are finished for good. If the opposition took power now, they would be responsible for handling the virus and crisis and all crazy moves that PiS has done so far.

And the crisis is deepening every day.

So, let`s be patient and see how PiS gradually crumbles. Only a pity it will cost Poland more wasted time. Cleaning up after PiS will take decades.

A womens party will get destroyed by men before it has a chance.

Don`t be silly. How? Besides, even if it takes place, that means the fight for women` s rights is a MUST!

Really just stop with the nonsense.

Don`t be silly,. It is not nonsense but a fight for the full liberation of Polish women!!!!!

No, I lost him in early 1970s when I grew up and was able to get to school on my own. hahahaha

So, as usual, your post is a pack of lies and manipulation not worth reading. I read it, though, coz it seemed not so long. I see you have learnt to make shorter posts. Good! Am I not a successful teacher in your case?? This thread proves I am. hahaha

They invited guys from the anti-communist opposition of 1980s.

And we can see the first results. The protesting females are following the example of protesters striking against communists in 1980. Very accurate and very suitable referece - today, PiS act like neobolsheviks, so we need to use old methods on them: In 1980, communists had to back down under pressure and Solidarity was created.

Guys, history is being created on our eyes.

Wow, those females from Women`s Strike are fast. Today they held the first meeting of Advisory Board - they discussed issues like underinvested medical care system and poor education. They invited guys from the anti-communist opposition of 1980s.

That looks like a beginning of a political programme. The next step is the party?

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

Modesty, moderation, decency - these were to be the leading characteristics of the PiS rule, uttered by their PM in 2015. Today, after tens of corruption scandals and infantile mismanagement cases, PiS rightards stil prove they have learnt nothing and don`t care about falling support in polls.

RIght now, in the middle of the pandemic and crisis resulting from it, PiS rulers are planning to buy 308 limos for their ministers and other civil servants hanging around the government.

Down with PiS, down with those cursed occupiers of Poland.

He doesn't care about issues or problems

I find it so fascinating that half of your post concerns exploring pawian`s motives in creating the thread. hahaha

Besides why would women in Poland be in a need of a liberation. That is nonsense.

Oh, I see, So the female protesters are in streets coz they express their joy at being fully liberated, as you claim. hahaha

It is the hundredth time when you show us you know nothing about Poland after nearly 30 years spent abroad. This is not the Poland of the 1990s, forget it.

Only a liar, a commie or an ignorant pound scum would claim otherwise.

So you are one.

The third poll which shows a dramatic landslide for rightist/natio parties which endorsed the stricter law about abortion - let`s quote in full:

PiS - 29

Hołownia - 14.9
Left - 6.9

History / Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland [250]

when overloaded during our trips to the seaside or abroad,

Now it is time to talk about trips. Parents knew about heavy pollution in Polish cities - industrialisation and coal burning contributed to it the most - that is why they did their best to take us out of the city as often as possible. Se, we went either on short weekend trips to the mountains or longer ones to the seaside. My parents` favourite spots were Zakopane in the south and Kołobrzeg on the coast. We also traveled to other resorts, of course.

When it was summer holiday and my mum didn`t run a youth camp, we usually spent a whole month at our destination. Of course, as a boy I prefered the seaside coz I learnt to swim quite early and it was my fav exercise. I didn`t like the mountains coz parents were crazy about hiking and my sister and me were virtually forced to cover long distances from one peak to another - I hated it! It was so fekking boring and tiring and the flies were relentless.

On our longer trips we first stayed in a tent, then, when conditions in Polish campsites improved, in a cabin. On short trips the accommodation was usually a room in a private house rented to tourists.

The only important geographical region in Poland I didn`t visit in childhood was Mazurian Lakes - I went there for the first time when I was a uni student. But my father went several times every year with his workmates - they belonged to a yachting club and used to sail a lot. It was my dad`s little obsession. I asked why he didn`t take us with him - he claimed it was too dangerous and boring and we wouldn`t enjoy it. But I think he simply wanted to take a break, enjoy the company of his mates, have some manly fun, probably with drinking or even other kinds of diversion that males go for when their wives are absent. . hahaha

How to make a Polish guy happy? (we're moving to Mexico)

One advantage of moving to Mexico would certainly be food - I like hot dishes. And I like red beans, too. Mexican fast food is OK - tortillas, tacos.

The drawback would be the hot climate and semi-desert landscape - I prefer cool temperatures - I still wear a T-shirt at 12 degrees - and I am used to the greenery in the Polish countryside.

Life is good in Poland under PiS.

hahaha Communists also maintained life was good under their rule. Nazis claimed it, too, that Poles had a chance to live in German Paradise.

It is the second time you show your unforgivable affiliation to Nazi and Commie methods and propaganda. The first time was when you denounced Polish freedom fighters and called them shockingly bad names.

You are a savage svoloch.

How many abortion threads does this forum need?

It is not an abortion thread - it is about the Polish women`s liberation movement funneled into a political body as the only means to have influence on women`s situation in Poland.

I believe it is the best option for female protesters coz demonstrations won`t last for ever.

there has already been one Partia Kobiet in Poland

Yes, it was set up in 2007 but never gained any considerable support. It was terminated in January 2020.

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inicjatywa_Feministyczna_(Polska)

That is why I am curious if a new women`s party is able to attract more interest and votes.

The latest initiative of Women`s Strike is the creation of Advisory Board - this might evolve into a political body one day.

News / Women`s Party in Poland - a good means to end Women`s Hell ? [62]

For the last few days enraged Polish women have expressed their anger in the streets over the stricter abortion law, changed by the rightist PiS-controlled Court. Most of them are young - even high school girls are reported to take part. They reject to be treated merely as tools for delivering children and they view the rightist rulers and their fundamentalist religious supporters who enthusiastically welcomed the new law as contemporary oppressors of Polish women.

Demos and protests are impressive and look great when viewed from drones, but they won`t resolve the main burning issues of the so called Women`s Hell. If women really want to have any positive impact to promote their cause, they need to enter politics. The problem is that apart from the ruling party and their fanatic acolytes, they also reject other political groups in the opposition, including the left. Women protesters claim it was the Left which introduced the strict abortion law in 1990s and then stuck to it for decades.

The only way to funnel their emotions and angry enthusiasm into sth lasting and eventually successful, is the Women`s Party. If it is created one day, will it have a chance to exert any real influence on Polish politics and also attitudes of average Poles? Would you vote for it in the next elections? I think I might give it a try. Why not? It is high time to put an end to this patriarchal society which is rotting on our eyes.

Women`z rule!! Now!

If you still have it lying around

hahaha after nearly 50 years??

but Polski Fiat looked nicer to me.

But its quality in 1980s was tragic, while those Soviet Ladas were appreciated for durability. Gniotsa niełamiotsa.

German comedy film "Good-bye Lenin"?

Nope. The only German comedy I watched was the East German one made in communist times about an ordinary guy who purchases a second hand Czajka limousine and has to deal with unexpected reactions from people around.

Yeah, that's definition of any straight man married to a woman after a year.

Why do you hate women, especially mothers, so much? Did your mother leave you when you were a child and you were raised in an abusive foster family or orphanage?

100.000 people demonstrated in Warsaw. If PiS don`t come to their senses, soon it might be 500.000 and they will be in serious trouble.

mother's

Yes, women must have a choice - it is their basic right. Especially that most fathers run away when they learn their kid is seriously disabled and unable to function on their own. I mentioned it before but you comfortably prefered to overlook it, trying to shift the whole burden on women again. No more! . I have been working for a charity which helps such families - most of them are single parent - Guess who takes care of those kids? Out of 20 we help, only two have .a loyal father/husband. Nice. The rest have vanished into the thin air.

Do not feel safe. The poet remembers.

But we have already established you are a Nazi/Commie supporter when you insulted Polish female freedom fighters from Warsaw Rising in another thread. Youi called them what - can you remind us? old mad hags or something? Doing so, yYou perfectly tuned into Nazi.Commie black propaganda about Poles and their aspirations for freedom.

So, Nazi/Commie fan, can you quite pretending you bother so much about Poland, Poles and Polesses?]

can't get support from the father then that is a matter for the courts

hahahaha After PiS` defoprm of courts, the proceedings last years, not months.

In the meantime she should seek all available assistance from the state and charities.

All in all, apart from being a Nazi.Commie supporter, you are also an imbecile who knows nothing about Poland under PiS. .

then it should be 50% to the father and 50% to the mother.

Of course not. Most women with disabled kids have to cope on their own coz over half of kids` fathers leave their family. So, it should be 75% for women and 25% for men.
