Exactly, that`s our duty here. That is why our students won`t vote for PiS which doesn`t respect independent views and beliefs. How simple, isn`t it? hahahaha


no, of course you haven`t . hahaha

Our example, exactly. :)

No, of course not, the old curricula were replaced with totally new ones only about 20 years ago. It is still too short to educate patriotic Poles who don`t fall for neobolshevik doctrines propagated by PiS.

But, did you notice that at the recent elections we were close? 10 millions of us against 10.5 millions bolsheviks??? That is a good prognosis for the future. That is why I am so optimistic.


Yes, I know, I also did well in the US, but always prefered my homeland.

That`s exactly my plan for this little farm we possess.

Because those youngsters whom we have taught are still too young to vote or not numerous enough to turn the tide. Still PiS is chosen by millions of voters who spent the prime of their lives in communism. Bolsheviks vote for neo bolsheviks, simple. hahaha

But watch the results of 2023 elections! The new generation of patriotic youth, educated by 600.000 Polish teachers, will sweep fekking neo bolsheviks from the surface of the Polish soil. hahaha

Oh, I see, that`s funny indeed.

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


But all 600.000 Polish teachers are like that. Is that wrong? What can we do about it??? hahahaha


That`s History teachers` duty. Do you want me to deprive them of their jobs??? hahahaha


yes, being sold, by our chiefs who didn`t need us. hahaha

aaah, watering system. Good idea but I am frugal and prefer to invest this money into sth bigger, e.g., another property. We have just bought... never mind. hahaha

Well, preparing a weedless patch for potatoes that my family can consume is much cheaper and takes less effort than installing and maintaining a system.


I also have vine, about 10 kinds, still young, half seedless, scattered around the house on various pergolas. But again, only for us.
But if you keep such an extensive vineyard, what do you do with the crop? For profit?

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]


Don`t worry, I will post them for you.


So I dug up a few plants and saw that weedy area didn`t work like you had told me before - crop is insignificant - a few little potatoes. Much better in weedless patches - half big, half small. I suppose it is a result of the dry spell during the last month - it rained scarcely so weeds have deprived potatoes of water and they couldn`t grow.

How about rains in your area?

Not only from neighbouring fields. Also from distant areas, coz the whole village is virtually covered with those little bastards, even in the church. So, it is a larger invasion. I read about their life cycle, it is fascinating. To keep warm during freezing winters, adult bugs can burrow themselves even 1 metre down in the ground. Amazing. And they can fly distances of 100 km.

I noticed their No 1 in my field is Physalis - Inca berry. Number two potatoes, three - tomatoes - I have found only 3 or 4 bugs on them. Normally I collect about 100, my record was 200 one day. How are they able to detect their fav fodder while in the air? My Inca berry plants cover a small patch of about 1 square metre, yet whenever I pass it, I find one or two bugs. Do they chase after the smell?

Kids help out, too. Funny. it is like in 1950s when not only families but whole schools and factories went out to pick bugs from fields.

And it is all American fault!

The topic of slavery, racism and discrimination against blacks is important in Polish school curriculum for English classes. During each stage of education, students should discuss it a few times.

So, guys, it is not only me who tells those stories. Who am I, btw? Dust which will turn into ash one day. Thousands of Polish teachers of English discuss those topics with hundred thousand students each year. You can`t kill them all.

Check those pages: former junior high school and current senior high school. Both books are British made for the Polish market.

Work / I am non EU citizen living inPoland. I have TRC for 3 years. Can I work with that TRC in Netherlands? [5]

Your Polish temporary (or permanent) residence card allows you to reside and work within the boundaries of Poland and travel anywhere within the Schengen countries. So, you can go to the Netherlands but you need a new work permit from the Dutch foreigners` affairs office. It will be issued to you if your new Dutch employer applies for it.

Work / I am non EU citizen living inPoland. I have TRC for 3 years. Can I work with that TRC in Netherlands? [5]

Termporary Resident Card, that`s what you have. Do you have a work permit for Poland, too? If you do, it was issued to you after your current employer had applied for it. I am afraid there is no such a thing as an open work permit for all kinds of jobs in the European Union. You can be legally employed only by an employer who supplied a work permit to you. If you desire to look for another job, change employers or even countries, some new employer must obtain a new work permit for you.

Now, from a different angle. I just read an article full of opinions by parents who are scared shytless about their kids coming back to physical schools. Those kids suffer from various serious diseases which might kill them when enhanced by covid. Also, parents can have such diseases or grandparents.

How do you feel about it?

Work / Can I find a non-corporate job in Poland? [34]

Physiotherapy is OK but don`t expect gigantic wages coz you will have to compete with other guys - this job is quite popular. Medium salary is 3400 brutto.


Oops, sometimes I don`t think - gross or pretax, of course.

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

I am going to comment on current political and social events as an unbiased commentator. The series is called: PiS`s road to perdition.

Part one:
More than a week ago 3 confirmed LGBT activists hung rainbow flags and offensive posters on a few monuments in Warsaw, including Jesus one. A few days later the police tracked them down and detained for dozen hours. They are accused of defamation and hurting religious feelings.

PiS have no choice and they have to send the police to arrest activists coz they can`t withdraw from their previous anti-LGBT narration which they had practised for more than a year now.

However, such detentions and scuffles with rainbow flag hangers will have a destructive influence on youth voters before 2023 elections. Already a lot of young people claim they live in a police state. Who is responsible for such emotions? The rulers, of course.

If the opposition plays it well, in future elections PiS might run out of supporters and lose their majority in Sejm.

And flags will be hung again and again, coz more people will enjoy becoming martyrs of LGBT cause. Did you hear that a professor of the nearby Warsaw University hung another flag yesterday? She wasn`t arrested and the flag bore the slogan: Solidarity with the oppressed.

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


Good. So if you can, keep it as long as possible coz prices, even if they have stopped rising now due to pandemics, soon will go up again, together with Poles getting richer and richer every year.

Work / What is life like in Poland for a student? [26]

Oh, yes, it has always been fun.

It is good to know it but if you don`t, you can get by with English only. But I mean social life now. If we think studying, it is a different matter and Polish is a must at most courses.

Depends on a course. Some are undemanding and you will always pass, especially at weekend paid courses. Other require a lot of work and if you can`t catch up, you have to drop out.

Social life is rich, those unis are located in big cities which offer multiple ways of spending free time in a friendly company

PS. You have been helped by a kind Polish teacher.

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

Do you have a house there and was wondering whether it is time to sell it with profit? hahaha

Even if you are not planning to sell it, it won`t lose its value, so don`t worry. It is just like Cargo said: The prices are still going up and I think will go up till they reach the average EU level

Well, prices of big houses increased slightly, as you predicted, up to 10%. Apartments were more popular among buyers.

News / Religious extremists advocate murdering gay Polish politician [42]


yes, that`s why I commented it sounded like typical violent rightist nature. Where do those guys get their sick ideas from, I wonder? hahaha


There was a series in 1990s with a likeable character, the boy called Corky who had Down syndrome.


hahaha no, not me. This time. I would gladly play with rightards like that but I don`t have time. Perhaps when I am retired which is going to be sooner than later.


Ha! At last some words of wisdom. That`s what I was waiting for.


Of course I do. No, I use that opportunity to create a discussion. hahahaha


Of course prison is out of question. And if those activists have good barristers, they will be acquitted or even if not, they will turn to the EU for help and the Polish state will have to pay them compensation.

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


About 20% since 2018. I said you were close with slight increase but 20% isn`t so slight.

News / Religious extremists advocate murdering gay Polish politician [42]


hahaha typical rightard violent imagination. Thank you for proving my point. buahaha

Your example is useless coz it was the rightard activist who attacked a leftist person who had to react in self-defence. I hope you don`t deny the right to self-defence to people.

Please, next time try better and refer us to up-to-the-topic examples - namely, leftists threatening to kill anybody because of ideological differences.


Typical rightard fake news style of debate - you don`t know when, where, who, why. Thank you. hahahaha

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

Yes. Right now, all people of culture who spoke on that matter defend Gajos and nobody has condemned him. Reminds me communist times after the martial law - there were a few renegades who collaborated with communists but most artists boycotted them and their media. Sth similar is happening now while neobolshevik PIS rule.

Food / I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM - the best ice cream shop in Poland? [34]


You mean Poland`s regaining independence in 1918?
So, ice cream came to Poland in 17th -18th century, I would have to check when exactly. First Polish royals and nobility, then szlachta stored ice in special outdoor basements during winters and in summer used it to make ice cream. I read it in Gloger`s Encyclopeadia.

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [540]


What is their weight? Can they exert any real pressure or they are just one of many objectors?

News / Religious extremists advocate murdering gay Polish politician [42]


But that is against basic logic and you know about it. Hence, my words: rightists are unable to run a fair debate. Simple.


My answer is traditional: death threats, kill, Poland, nowadays. hahaha

News / Religious extremists advocate murdering gay Polish politician [42]


Yes, I know, that is why I put limits - Kill, Poland, post 1989. Is it so hard to follow them??


really? Media and net are full of celebrities and average people who gossip and boast about their sex life, mostly hetero.


That is a swing back I was talking about - LGBT wants to release the stress they felt when they had to live in supression and hiding for so many centuries. Simple. You will see it also in Poland sooner or later - that is why fighting it is useless and only causes ferment and bad atmosphere.


Come on, hatred blinds you which certainly doesn`t serve your purpose. If you do away with only one of them, you will get a life sentence and how will you fight them from behind the bars????

News / Religious extremists advocate murdering gay Polish politician [42]


Come on, hanging flags on monuments isn`t life threat. Keep to the logic of the discussion, please. And don`t mix Jesus into it - if he had been present at the time and place, he would have gone with them to help with those flags which so wonderfully symbolize his ideals of loving your neighbour. Jesus wanted us to love each other, not hate.

News / Religious extremists advocate murdering gay Polish politician [42]


But you know people can`t stop being gay just like you can`t stop being hetero. And calling for Adamowicz solution is provoking murder, so that`s off limits completely.


Yes, that parroting has always annoyed me. But it is just another hint what is going to happen to LGBT here - they will be acknowledged and accepted like in all other countries in Western Europe coz Poles will also parrot those solutions from the West. The pendulum is swayed to the right now but nature won`t keep it like that too long.

Mind my words - I will remind you of them in a few years` time - the stronger the objection to LGBT now, the more powerful swing back will we observe in the future.
