News / E.U. Denounces Poland's Authority on LBGTQ Free Zones [150]

We're the most anti-gay country in the EU and proud of it.

Changing quickly. Compare data for LGBT support in 1990s (13% support) and today: 49% pro vs 51% against. Imagine what is going to happen in 3,4 years. :)

It's perhaps surprising (and certainly cheering) how many balconies here have rainbow flags very prominently displayed.

The avalanche has started and can`t be controlled any more.

certainly not the majority of Poland's Christian Catholic core values.

Which eventually prove very superficial. Instead of loving their brethren, most ardent Catholics, in fact brainwashed fanatics, hate them. The Church also contributes to it by inciting hate campaigns. The top clergy`s aim is to provoke as much animosity as possible - then, young gay men, afraid of coming out in the homophobic society, will choose priesthood where they will be free to practice their inclinations. Bishops only want to prevent the religious callings from plummeting like it is happening now. Who is going to collect money from believers if there are no priests? Simple.

Not to mention that some of them are bound to have gay children who will directly suffer from this.

I am sure that some of our members must have experienced it themselves - that is why they are so hostile to LGBT, blaming it for their "personal family tragedy." It is a common reaction of a conservative parent who once was neutral or didn`t care about LGBT but now is unable to cope with the revelation of having a gay kid.

You an embarrassment to Poles on an international forum you and that twat Ziemko.

hahahahaha Opinions of damned fascists don`t bother or interest me in the slightest degree. Only when an intelligent learned decent open-minded poster, e.g., ... never mind, no names, says so, I will try to think it over. But you are not one - you possess none of the characteristics I have just mentioned. Poniał, ty svoloch? Pashoł von!

Ha!

Real Estate / Buy an apartment in Warsaw now or wait [14]

Prices of new apartments have fallen, though very little. Prices of second hand apartments are stable or went up a little.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

When you say 1990's that clearly means a decade...

Of course not. Who told or taught you that? Try to think logically - are the years 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 in 1990s?? Yes, they are. So, what`s the problem?

Ukraine is the same today as it was in the 90's.

Of course, I never denied that.

Which is patently untrue by both measure of GDP, PPP, and average wages throughout the whole decade.

Now you are stressing it has to be the whole decade. It is a wrong approach, I never meant the decade, for me 4 years at the beginning of 1990s are enough.

Travel / Traveling! What to do in Warsaw and Krakow? [39]

There's a mound not far from Metro Ursynów. Probably not prehistoric but still worth a climb.

Warsaw Rising mound or Jewish resistance mound?

No, I have been to Kielce only once - during a Military Fair in early 1990s.

Easier on the legs.

In Krakow it is different. They use their prehistoric Mounds as viewing towers.

Are they backtracking?

No, they are trying to use in Europe the same strategy as they do in Poland - they deny everything and accuse everybody else of lying. It works well on Polish countryside morons who make the majority of their voters but isn`t enough to convince Europe.

Why are rightards so deprived of dignity and decency?

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

that chart you posted is the country's purchasing power parity

Yes, of course, that is the best measure coz it shows real financial opportunities. So I don`t understand why you went on with a useless lecture explaining what PPP is - everybody knows those things - let`s not waste time for such childishness.

Poland quickly beat Ukraine's PPP

That isn`t the topic of the debate how quickly Poland beat Ukraine. Our debate started with a general question who was richer/ poorer. Let me remind you my words from post 328 :Poland was a very poor country in 1990s, even poorer than Ukraine and Belarus.

Key words : poorer in 1990s. And my graph shows exactly that: Poland`s PPP GDP was lower than Ukraine`s for 4 years: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993. Can you see it?

Besides, do you understand Polish? So, watch this video below from Polish communist news in 1989 - people complain there is no bread or other basic stuff like safety razors, batteries, matches and they have to queue for hours to get them. Guys, what standard of living are we talking about if you can`t buy bread or fekking matches? Were there such problems in Ukraine or Belarus in 1989 and later?

Do you want to watch another video from 1990 where people complain bread was too expensive after gigantic price rises introduced by the democratic government? Do you think Ukrainians had similar problems then?

Of course not, that is why can I ask you to check your sources better before you undertake a discussion with me on matters which refer to history of Poland?

to the EU because they directly violate its' core values.

Exactly. The Eu is the last hope to teach those maniacal rightards ruling Poland that all people are equal and should be treated with respect.

Hey, guys, did you know that one rightard Euro Parl member was even so cheeky that he lied there are no LGBT free zones in Poland? That it is all a hoax invented by leftists? Those fekkers have no honour and dignity. Tfuuu -svoloche!

Dirk, you were so proud announcing more and more counties in Poland declare themselves LGBT zones. Now a lousy PiS fekker claims there are none. What do you think?

Dirk, as much as I appreciate your ardently patriotic input, let me give you one piece of advice - check things before you type sth coz now it is the tenth time within a month or so that I have to correct your childish claims. You have to remember one thing - Poles who have spent all their lives in Poland know a lot about their country. hahahaha

Life / Sobering-up station in Poland [13]

In particular experiences of being there?

Can`t tell about my experiences, never been there coz I have a strange genetic flaw - the more I drink, the more sober I get. Am I still human?

But I remember reading a story about Banda Trojanki/ Trojanka `s Gang which functioned in such a station in 1970s. The workers abused, robbed, raped and tortured inmates/patients.

Check this book

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

Very simple, maf. You are talking about living conditions while I meant the state`s budget and foreign debt burden on the Polish economy. 42 billion $ for a country whose annual export was worth 10 billion. Belarus or Ukraine didn`t have to repay such a giant loan and their export revenues were higher than Poland`s because they could export products to other Soviet republics while Poland couldn`t do it, neither to ex USSR or the EU.

Maf, do you get it now or still not? hahaha

Poland was definitely not poorer in the 90s than Ukraine and Belarus.

Of course you are wrong. Be careful now - do you really mean Poland or Poles, like maf???

but the prospect of EU membership certainly helped in this endeavour.

Of course, it did, there is nothing to discuss here but biased anti EU fools can`t swallow certain obvious truths.

Ok, watch it. Poland economy was growing faster before become a member of the EU.

So what? Poland was a very poor country in 1990s, even poorer than Ukraine and Belarus.

It is true that the collapse of communism released the incredible energy and initiative of people who started setting up their own businesses. But the level they started from was very low so it is obvious they were doomed for prosperity in the course of events .

But:
try to use your reason (coz you haven`t before ) and understand that making up on our own for tragic communist economy wouldn`t last for ever and that the EU gave Poland new incentives and opportunities.

Are you able to?

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

3 of my students are currently on a quarantine - all 3 are close friends, girls, a boyfriend of one of them was diagnosed positive.

How do we resist covid?

In our school both teachers and students have to wear face protection. When students sit alone they can remove it but only when the teacher consents. I wear a big shield all the time which is OK except hot and humid days - then I feel I sweat under it too much.

Also, students have to stay in their classrooms during short breaks, but can go out into the yard during long breaks if the weather permits. They stay in the same classroom all day. If a change takes place, the desks are cleaned.

All people are required to disinfect hands upon entry and later on too - automatic dispensers stand in corridors and there are spray bottles or wall dispensers in each classroom etc.

What else? Of course, mass gatherings in the auditorium are out of question. One small classroom has been turned into an isolation ward in case a student is suspected of being infected. We don`t measure temperature - it is a useless method which checks nothing, in fact.

I have noticed people follow most regulations except 2 metre distance - it is impossible to keep it in such places as most Polish schools - too many students in too narrow passages/corridors. Thank you, PiS - it was them who deformed the system and created mamooth facilities with hundreds or even nearly one thousand students.

Polish experimental approach is described here:

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

Indeed, so the idea was to keep him in power for that not to happen. Genius!

Yes, but Belarussians want him to leave after he rigged the elections.

I have just read an article about Polish far right nationalists` defence of Lukashenka - they even held a demo in Warsaw. They praise Lukashenka for his stronghand rule over the country and dream about similar solutions in Poland. One guy came with the Russian flag. Nice.

Fekking renegades.

pl.sputniknews.com/pisza-dla-nas/2020082712973471-polscy-narodowcy-za-lukaszenka/

As there is not guarantee whomever comes next won't take course on Russia.

That will probably happen. Then Belarus is finished and people will become true slaves of Russian oligarchs who will take over Belarussians companies for free.

Poles must be prepared to welcome and host huge immigration from Belarus. Even refugees.
