Travel / Hiking and Camping Trails in Poland [51]

What are some of the best trails to conquer ?

The best trail I have always dreamt of conquering was the mountain trail along the southern border, with stopovers in shelters, about 500 km long. I have never had time to venture on it: work, family, farm - we only covered some parts of it during each individual trip. But I will wait until all my kids grow up and then some might be interested to go with me. I am old but still very fit.

It starts in Beskid Śląski Mountains and finishes in Bieszczady.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

It's not the policy so much it's the hypocrisy.... they say one thing and do another..

Besides, those ex-commie supporters and partners dare to abuse other people calling them commies. That is outrageous and that is why their past pro-red choices need to be fully exposed.

Krzysztof Czabański, nominated by PiS to rule the Polish Radio and media, used to work as a jpournalist for a few communist newspapers. He was a member of Socialist Youth Union and later of the communist party for 13 years.

Law / How to acquire Polish citizenship through marriage as an American? More info in the post. [18]

Was it funny?

Of course.

No, I mean he should check if he can leave for a year

So, you didn`t manage to get it across to us. Try to use some decent English, not that dirty slang from the gutters in the forbidden district.

I believe he can find such info there...

No, one can`t. I checked it and there is nothing about it. Each site says: 3 years continuingly.

EXACTLY,he can be leaving for medical reasons or sent by an Polish company for work overseas

I agree with being sent abroad by a Polish company - one is excused. But medical problems are sb`s private matter and I don`t think law closes an eye here.

Travel / What is the weather like in Poland where you are now? [211]

The hottest temperature ever recorded on earth with modern equipment.

Despite occasional rains, there has been a drought here. I dug up a hole to plant a new tree - the ground is as dry as a bone.

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

If Lukashenka orders his troops to shoot into Polish territory, abstain with full strike retaliation.

Lukashenka is trying the play the Polish card in a dirty way. E..g, he announced that Polish flags were hung out in the city of Grodno and added he would not allow that. It means he accuses Poles of plans to get Belarus back.

No, it didn`t. Those were local battles which didn`t save whole Europe but only single countries: Poland, Austria.

Real Estate / Are the property prices in Poland too high? [19]

in Poland it was more that the cities became.... peasantized?

Polish countryside had been largely overpopulated before the war. After it, communists decided to solve the problem by erecting new housing estates in cities and making peasants live there and work in newly built heavy industry plants.

My wife told me a story from early 1970s - one of her neighbours kept pigs in the cellar, until other tenants got annoyed with the stink and snitched on him, coz it was illegal.

Is there anything appealing about the French these days?

Still some people are fascinated with France. A friend of mine buys only French cars coz they seem so romantic to him. He completely disregards bad stereotypes about them.

About 100.000 PLN. Without the cost of land.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

As far as i know pawian and you are not even politicians

Not yet but when PIS collapses, I am going to become the Minister of Education. buhahaha Maf is going to be my deputy. Or the other way round - I don`t care, I am not power-hungry.

have you ever seen a political force at the helm that always does what it says

Of course, but PiS claim they are the most righteous and law-abiding organisation in the history of Poland. Here and elsewhere, we constantly prove it is a lie. Just like their claims they fight communism are utter lies.

News / Scandals, conflicts, tensions, arguments - real life examples from Poland [543]

uuuf, at last. Szumowski, PIS Health Minister, resigns together with his deputy. He has been very stubborn to leave just now coz allegations that a company owned by his brother received millions in government grants during the crisis appeared a few months ago. Some medical equipment bought by the Polish government to fight the virus has never been delivered or was completely useless. E.g., the Ministry paid millions for worthless masks transported to Poland by the largest plane in the world.

How many times did we mention that no other party before was involved in so many corruption scandals like PiS now?

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

but that's got nothing to do with walking......

Another hint: two people must be walking so that the idiom appears.

it needs to be exceptionally evil and/or cruel.

I see. Like some rightist posters here, in the forum, when they talk about blacks or Jews.

Everybody minds their own business?

Yes!

I just read a title with an idiom: Health Minister smashed the thermometre.

Someone or something that is lower than a snake's belly is of a very low moral standing.

News / Famous Poles die - your memories [112]

Two important persons have left: Henryk Wujec, anticommunist activist of KOR and first Solidarity in 1970s-80s and Ewa Demarczyk, poet singer from Krakow. She had an incredible voice.

Listen to her best song: Carousel with Madonnas. Awesome. Nobody else was able to sing it like she did - so full of energy.

And a beautiful ballad: Peas and roses

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

Yes, I refuse to listen to your tricks when in one post you declare support for neobolshevik PiS and enjoy their victories in elections and in other you lash at communists. If you could, you would vote for PiS despite their communist affiliations. Or you even did go voting, probably you already have citizenship.

That is why I asked you a vital question: what would your parents say to it if you told them you vote for the party which embosoms ex commies??

PIS are middle of the road politics and left wing extremists don't like them .

I see. That is why you are ready to close an eye to their hypocrisy when they cry out against former communists but gladly adopt various renegades involved in building communism.

Would your parents also close an eye????

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

What Poland in particular offering to Belarus?

I am not sure what they are offering coz it is confidential info which will be revealed later on.

What should Poland do? Acknowledge Mrs Cichanouska as a new President. Coordinate that action with other neighbouring countries. Win the EU`s support for that solution. Collect info on Belarus regime henchmen who massacred people in streets so that they won`t be allowed to enter Poland`s territory one day.

If Lukashenka orders his troops to shoot into Polish territory, abstain with full strike retaliation.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

PiS is the only major party that makes a big deal out of claiming to want to punish former communists but they're hypocrites

Exactly. And one of the aims of this thread is to reveal that sick hypocrisy.

The sight of Piotrowicz chanting 'precz a komuną'

Yes, imagine Hitler survived the war and twenty years later he shouts: Down with Nazism! hahahaha

I am 100% behind you producing a list

I am constantly doing it.
Karol Karski, PiS member of Parliament and other institutions, belonged to communist Union of Polish Students in 1980s. He also took part in local government elections in 1988 which were rigged by communists.

Do you know how communists fixed elections? Even better than Europe`s last dictator, Lukashenka in Belarus today. He claims he got 80% support. In communist Poland, the regime boasted of 98% support with over 90% turnout. Not bad. hahahaha

People`s Tribune - main propaganda tool of the communist party.

they (commies working for PiS) are traitors of the post-commie camp and thereafter a fair game.

Only fascists like you could think so. You lost again. hahaha

Ah and they are a perfect excuse to bash PiS from that angle as well. Nothing more!

Not only PiS. I am going to write more about other rightists who used to collaborate with communists,. I already mentioned your idol from the past, Bolesław Piasecki, Polish fascist who turned Soviet.

Ha!
