Life / Tap Water quality in Poland [44]


actually it's in some big cities mostly - as some big cities rely on water from major rivers - and you know major rivers are a bit of a sewage - smaller places especially not on major rivers rely on underground aquifers sometimes quite deep

Kraków has actually very good water quality - the Kraków tap water comes from the Dobczyce reservoir on (the Raba if I recall correctly) river that flows from the mountains - the reservoir is restricted from any other use (no bathing and probably even no angling)

you of course mean by it that it will make you sick within hours or kill you outright - so yes in that sense it is safe

in the long run? - in the long run you are making a filter for chemicals from river water of yourself - thanks I will stay away - i lived in a town were water was partly from Odra river and partrly from Nysa Kłodzka river - and no it did not taste good at all (so was tap water in Wrocław when I studied there)

you probably have higher tolerance for 'syfy i paksudztwa' from the river water - you cannot filter them out completely, so good luck for you drinking tap water in the long perspective

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

@gumishu

There are almost 600 people under the surname Sikoń in Poland and only 14 people under the suraname Sikoński - so theoretically you grandpa's surname could have been Sikoński but I somehow doubt it

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]


most probably Sikoń - I doubt it was altered much -if it were Sikoński or some such it would have been preserved in the French language - Sikoń could have been a nickname (turned surname) for a person who needs to pee often (sikać means to pee mostly, but also trickle) - peasants didn't have surnames for quite a long time in Poland (even up to 19th century) and they went under first names and nicknames

Warsaw derives most of it's water supply from the Vistula river and the river is well a sewer to an extent - I wouldn't drink tap water in Warsaw

Mrągowo is a different case - it is small and it lies in a clean area and on a lake (or oven two lakes)

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


maybe because they have suffered from the hands of Germans (inteligentsia, those taking part in Silesian uprisings etc were the early victims of Germans) way before the Holocaust started. Also Poles were daily reminded that Germans considered them Untermenschen.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]


hmmm , heh, we want Barabas and so on - it was Jews who wanted Jesus killed and Pilate famously washed his hands

but it's just a detail and it don't matter ultimately

ever heard of 'Wasze ulice, nasze kamienice' (your streets our real-estate) - and it mattered before the war (in the interbellum)

as for NSDAP support in Germany - the election results of 1933 clearly show that the NSDAP had more support in Protestant Laender and generally in the North -that's your paradox for you

you were also insinuating that Germans built the camps in Poland because Poles somehow supported the idea - does it make sense in the light of Poland being the only occupied country where any help given to Jews was punished with death by the German occupation authorities

while Polish anti-semitism in the interbellum is undeniable Poles paradoxically didn't en masse support the extermination of Jews - so many paradoxes Lyzko - I'm not sure you can deal with such an ammount

especially when your mind works on cliches

you wouldn't suspect him of being a terror inspirer or apologist though, would you? and rightly so - I was a Mikke follower when I was young - he is a libertarian doctriner though and I sort of grew out of libertarian doctrinerism - but I do believe in free market

again the guy who wanted to blow up the Sejm was directly inspired to do so by ABW operatives during the PO reign (for those who don't know what

ABW is - ABW Agencja Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego - Internal Security Agency)

the Wrocław bomber didn't have political motives - he called the police the same day demanding ransom - one lonely sick guy who just happened to admire Mikke

so much for your right wing terrorism in Poland

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]

I just told you about the Wrocław bomber - and well now Korwin-Mikke (regardless of how of touch some of his ideas are) is a terror apologist for you, yes? - how deluded one can become, I wonder

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


the guy who wanted to blow up the Sejm was inspired to do so by ABW operatives which even the court admitted in the explanation of the verdict and it happened good couple of years ago and not in the last two years - so fail

the Wrocław bomber demanded ransom for not detonating his bombs in a call to police so he was hardly a terrorist - he was not part of any right wing group either

no it isn't - the same Brit doesn't become racist when paired with the adjective bloody and imperialist

there are racists word in Polish to describe black people - czarnuch, bambus, asfalt - 'murzyn' is not racist and doesn't become one paired with pejorative adjectives
