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

Belarussians are still too tender with the regime. Now a few hundred thousand people have taken to the streets of Minsk and nothing - they are only demonstrating peacefully.

First of all, they should break into the prison and free political prisoners. Then, they need to occupy TV and radio buildings to make their own propaganda and spread the news about their revolution. They can also surround the government headquarters and force Lukashenka to leave in panic on board a helicopter. Later, such photos like below become iconic.

Yes, they could do all that. But what for? Only to have Lukashenka replaced by another dictator controlled by the Kremlin?

Real Estate / Residential real estate values go down in Poland [455]

Yes, it is in case of detached houses. Before building a house, you need to possess some land first. In case of apartments, it differs. Most blocks, especially those built in communist times, stand on grounds which belong to local governments.

But we believe you. Those tunnels certainly look great.

I worry about one conifer which looks dead and everybody who comes and sees it also says so. It is probably false cypress Stardust. It got sick in April, all of a sudden all needles became brownish. I noticed moles made tunnels underneath. I tried to water it abundantly a few times but it didn`t help and now it is fully brown. Needles fall down when you touch them. When I try to break a twig, they snap finally but not like dry dead wood. I still believe it will recuperate next year.

What do you think?

Or marry a dentist woman

Possible. But to do it, you need to look like him. Female dentists like dark guys.

in office as PM to do something! What did he do? Nothing.

Wow, a very accurate remark it would be if you also provided some ways of dealing with the problem. Without that, yours is just a common opinion,. like many other.

Mixture of oak and cherry trees I have trained the branches to make tunnels

Wow, an unusual combination - oak and cherry trees. One day they will grow unsymmetrical and sb will always have to trim them.

I also play with trees, trimming and shaping them.

Psychologist`s pay is average unless you are very good at solving people`s problems so you have a a lot of clients and usually it involves running your own business.

Poland as well, but probably slightly less.

Main reason is only one: Poland has been lucky as it is closer to Western Europe, so the transfer and implementation of Western ideas how to create and run a democratic country was easier. Ukraine is closer to Russia with obvious results - 1/4 Ukraine thinks they should belong to Russia.

Janusz Gajos for his excellent role as

Another one of his excellent roles: in this amazing song Gajos as Mr Turkish sings about Poland:it hasn`t died and won`t die, as long as we are alive.Whenever I feel down and think that PiS has overwhelmed whole Poland with its gangster tentacles, I always play this song to cheer me up. The fight must go oooooon!

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

We are discussing silly things like LGBT ideas in Poland while our closest neighbour, Belarus, is in utmost upheaval. Belarussians have stopped being a timid nation and openly oppose their long-time President Lukashenka who is doing his best to win the Sunday elections, even if it means falsifying the results. Currently, he has had his main rivals to presidency arrested and regularly cuts off Internet and phones to stop people from mass gathering in streets. Belarussian opposition is wondering whether the army will stand by the nation at hour of need.

Belarus is boiling and Poles don`t care - it is not fair.

I also have vine, about 10 kinds, still young, half seedless, scattered around the house on various pergolas.

I made a few pergolas for vine around the house. Grapes are a desired crop, of course, but I primarily meant to create mini passages under vegetation. I have been fascinated with the idea since I was a boy - a long dark tunnel tightly covered with plants/trees and me, driving underneath. Does anyone know what it means psychologically???

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

o kurwa the foocking police are chasing us for doing roughhouse, what gives?

Activists and supporters are blocking the police car with an arrested LGBT activist who damaged a van belonging to a homophobic organisation. She didn`t resist and got inside peacefully but people don`t want to let her go.

I have never seen such an act of civil disobedience so far. It seems both sides are ready for a serious confrontation.

More than once or twice, the other cheek was turned, because we thought naively that they were our erring brothers.

Do you think LGBT can still be contained? How, if they even have their little but vociferous representation in the Parliament? Look, they came to the President`s swearing-in ceremony dressed in rainbow colours. Below.

And recent elections showed that LGBT friendly Trzaskowski, commonly called Fagowski, gained 49% votes, exactly 10 million people.

What can be done in such a situation?

PS. Another flag action, among others John Paul II monument in Gdańsk.

Already a lot of young people claim they live in a police state.

Popular youtubers who claim so, e.g, this one with 0.5 million subsciptions, certainly influence a lot of people with their video blogs.
