Aaah, I got it, you played with the word Mortazapine, medicine used to treat depressions etc. hahaha

Sorry, you missed, I never took such anti-depressants. I simply don`t need them - my active participation in the forum has allowed me to keep sane and healthy for so many years. HA!


Thank you very much. There is good in you - why do you allow it to be supressed by evil???? Why don`t you allow yourself to move to the light side of the Force??? hahaha

Thank you, I will take it seriously. Like these protesters in Lubin below after communist police had killed 5 of their mates during a demonstration. They didn`t fear next shots, they went out onto the street the next day to show their resistance. It was 1983 and the communist system was still inhumanly strong but protesters believed in their victory coz they had moral superiority over communists.

In the same way I believe decent people have moral superiority over those neobolshevik PiS and they will prevail coz the evil is always punished sooner or later and replaced by the good.

Long live Poland, the one that anticommunist protesters fought for!

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


Do you suppose such an entity as the EU could do without them? That`s a very naive presumption. Anarchy and chaos aren`t the best way to rule 500 million people market.


They pay, so they demand. Obvious.


Excuse me, but when I look at, hear and read rightards who profess "Christian values" and want to defend them,(e.g., PiS in Poland or some guys here, dolno or johhny), I don`t know if I should cry or laugh. Theirs and their like`s Christian values are as valid and true as last year`s snow. I will become a Turkish sultan first before they become Christians with values. . hahaha buuuhooo


Do you think Poland will be allowed to stay in Schengen after possible Polexit? I highly doubt it. The West will desire to show the rest of countries that individual rebellions must be punished.


I am not sure about the validity of such threats, so let`s wait and see what happens.

Only 2%, la la la. hahaha

What is this idiom about?

No, where exactly? You sound surprising now.


No, I always look ahead, that`s one of my traits, I am already thinking of 2023 elections. Is it a sin? hahaha

I told you, I am a fekking old-time Pole by birth, character, upbringing, education, etc. I shall never surrender. Poles could have won a few Risings in history if they had been more resolute, decisive, stubborn and determined. Long ago I swore to myself I would never be ucommitted like that. Never.

HA!
hahaha

What makes you think I didn`t get over it???? hahaha I only wanted to share certain analysis because it is my duty as the OP. I started this thread and am responsible for its proper development. Dig for some intelligence and try to understand me. hahaha


Yes, but it is only 2%. How much time will it take the opposition to gain these 2% ???? hahaha

Guys, you know perfectly well that 2% advantage is nothing. If Duda won with 65 - 70%, you could really be relaxed.

Because he broke the Constitution
because he is a blatant liar and manipulator
because he is a hypocrite (promoted ex-communists)
because he is a puppet of PIS leader who signed all harmful laws
because he has no vision for Poland`s development
because he is a weak man who allowed others to dominate him (now it is different than the above puppet, I mean his close entourage in the Palace)

because he closed an eye to various dirty tricks which others played to promote him. (rigged debates etc)
because he is an intolerant, narrow-minded rightard

I would be really ashamed to be such a person. I wouldn`t be able to look people into eyes. That is why I am not a politician.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

Dolno, by private I meant campaigning for decent people before the next elections here, not my own party.


Well, I am rather neutral about him. But I have serious doubts if he is able to stand up to those professional politicians who are like mad dogs sometimes. We already had one naive guy like that, Kukiz, who let PIS get him from behind as they wished. I won`t vote for Hołownia`s party unless KO disintegrates or sth.


Ooops, emotions are still high.
But his program was based on anti PiS and anti KO stance so we mustn`t be surprised now.


Nope, I don`t watch TV. I only read reports about programs in Onet and other ones. .

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


Dolno, you`d better not be so triumphant, it`s a sin. hahaha


Yes, I know you would like it very much but if you possess a little intelligence you should be aware I won`t. I am a true Pole, I shall never surrender, the Spirit of 44 is my life motto if you didn`t know it.


I always do.


You see, when out of school, I am impatient and quick-tempered, especially here. That is why I won`t wait but I officially announce and declare the following: I AM GOING TO START MY PRIVATE CAMPAIGN BEFORE 2023 ELECTIONS RIGHT NOW. hahahahahahaha how do you like it?????

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

A journalist of Onet news platform which I like for independent and impartial reports, mentioned 6 elements which might have contributed to Duda`s victory.

- exceptional mobilisation of Duda`s supporters
- state TV black propaganda against Trzaskowski
- lack of clear support of Hołownia for Trzaskowski
- Trzaskowski`s absence at the rigged debate in Końskie town.
- Trzaskowski`s absence in Eastern Poland - he didn`t go there at all during the campaign while Duda travelled everywhere.
- power of benefits and lower retirement age is still substantial

Yes.
Sorry, Chemikiem, it is about cats, mostly those independent ones (but not stray) which allegedly enjoy walking on roofs. Do Brits know that cats wander on roofs? I remember tens of pics of such cats, especially at night with the moon in the background, in my kid books.

I am not a roofer, I am a coucher/couch potato.

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

yes, I wanted to mention it later on: The EU issued warnings that Polish counties which declared themselves as LGBT free zones, won`t receive any fundings from the EU budget. Mayors and other leaders in those regions are already worried coz it will diminish their income substantially.

Language / Cultural disparities shown through Polish and English languages [195]

Sth interesting occured to me. Today I heard a Pole say: zniszczony telefon - destroyed phone. When you hear such an expression, you imagine the phone is completely destroyed, like burned or crushed into pieces.

However, that Polish guy meant only a cracked screen. The phone was still working and the crack was more an easthetic flaw than serious damage.

Hence, a conclusion: Poles like to overuse the word destroyed meaning just damaged.

I have been thinking why but can`t reach any plausible explanation. Can anybody help with socio-historical psychology?

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


That`s what Poles have been doing since 2004. :)

Will it work in the future, too? Who knows. The EU might have a dilemma with it - it all depends on Poland abiding to European laws concerning independent judiciary, tolerance, etc etc.

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


But it is not only about paying into the EU budget. It is also travel, investment, cultural programs etc etc. Do you think Poles will give all this up? To stand in non-EU citizen queues at the airports? I don`t think so.

Love / What can I do so that this Pole will love me? Why does he act like a hero and then breaks my heart? [25]

No, Ziem, you are too cruel now. Show some compassion. One day you may be in such a plight and will come here asking for help.


Yes, now all what is left is beautiful memories. Keep them until the next boyfriend.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


Wrong. He is going to stay in politics for a long time and become the leader of Tusk format who will smash rightards one day. :) He is only 48 years old. Everything`s before him. On condition maniacal rightards don` t assassinate him, like Narutowicz or Adamowicz.


Choking.


until the next elections ??? haha


yes, but it is unattainable by PiS - those bolshevik rightards are imbeciles who only know how to squander money, not invest it wisely.

Love / What can I do so that this Pole will love me? Why does he act like a hero and then breaks my heart? [25]


What do you know about her? It could be his sister or cousin.


Yes, that`s a purely Polish trait. Polish males do it frequently.


Reminds me of myself when I was younger.


Why such big words? He wasn`t a liar, he just didn`t tell you everything, it is not lying. I also never tell my wife all bad news in order to preserve her good mood.

Only in accordance with European laws.


hahah bolshevik thinking, like in all rightards. I wouldn`t count on it if I were you.

Love / What can I do so that this Pole will love me? Why does he act like a hero and then breaks my heart? [25]

Ziem, you remind me of myself when younger, at your age I was also a predator upon trolls. But with age, I gained life wisdom and believe me, young man, even trolls can contribute some new valuable message and sth worth discussing.


Don`t be such a pessimist. Heads up, young boy.

Life / Scars of Communism on Polish culture. [55]


You wrote it in 2012. What do you think of today`s Poland?


No, it is a very useful strategy, we can see what things were like in the past and how people`s views and attitudes change or remain the same over the years. I found a few of my old posts here - it is funny to read younger me. hahaha

Love / What can I do so that this Pole will love me? Why does he act like a hero and then breaks my heart? [25]


hmm, it could be your father who opposes your relationship.


Hmm, to be able to answer this question, we need to know more details, preferably from other people involved. Can you show this site to your boyfriend and father and ask them to share their views on the whole story? Then I am sure we will be able to help you more effectively.

All in all, this tragic love is a potentially good scenario for a drama or film. Your story even bears some semblance to classic works of the genre, e..g, Romeo and Juliet. Your young age, parents` objection, cuts on arms (by a dagger which later will be used to kill) suggest it.

Keep us informed about the development of the affair. Make regular notes about all events in case a scriptwriter saw it and wanted to make sth big out of it.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


So, it is time to fulfill my promise. I would like to congratulate all Duda voters and supporters on the victory of their candidate. Rejoice and be happy coz it`s your great day. As I said, I am also glad seeing other people happy.

I am not disappointed, but look into the political future with optimism. Trzaskowski`s result isn`t so bad, it means there are still millions of decent intelligent people in Poland who don`t let liars and manipulators brainwash them with bolshevik propaganda and socialist benefits. .


Yes, that`s my motto which will be my guideline for the coming years. I can promise you I will do my best to increase the number of decent intelligent voters before future elections. I will work hard on/with my students to provide them with proper education so that they can distingush authoritarian fraudsters from worthy guys. The polls among voters proved that the decent candidate was chosen by the majority of educated Poles. That is my task to spread that trend and I will not shun it.

And it doesn`t only concern LGBT and other controvercial ideas because they are replacement problems, artificially blown into a maniacal hype by the ruling rightards. . It is primarily economy which matters - hats off to members who noticed it here:


Yes, economy, fools! was the famous slogan. Right now PiS has spent most of the money on benefits, completely ignoring such branches as small business, health care, education, investment, technologies. We`ll see what it all leads to at the next election.

I suppose the trend from now on is only downhill for PiS. Decent people will prevail one day. To all Trzaskowski` voters and supporters, don`t lose hope and work hard for better freer wealthier Poland.

Love / What can I do so that this Pole will love me? Why does he act like a hero and then breaks my heart? [25]


It seems your primary problem is your dad, not your Polish boyfriend


It is called "sznyty" , self-injury inflicted on yourself when you feel depressed


It depends what questions they are. If it is: Will you marry me? then he might react with justified reserve coz 18 yo boys usually don`t think about marriage at this age. In Poland they need parents` consent for that, you would have to go to Scotland to get married.


Hmm, I think you should focus on schoolwork more, instead of daydreaming about marriage. Try to get good education, then you will be able to impress decent boys who look for intelligent women. Such boys are in minoroty, indeed, but life with them is more interesting than with a boorish moron who pretends to be a macho but is a mental weakling in fact.

Language / Polish opinions on foreign languages? [54]

My parents forced me to learn German at 6. I struggled with it for 14 years of private tutoring and German class at primary school. . At 12 they sent me to an English evening course, later supplemented with English at high school and extensive private tutoring in the last year before the uni entrance exam. I was in a cleft stick which language to choose for my life career. . I drew straws and eventually chose English.

Partition zones heritage again?


You should have said: alleged iregularities. If there are just irregularities, protests will be fully justified.


Certain illogical reasoning did I discern here. It they work in Germany, they don`t need welfare so much. It is the East which relies on the dole payments coz job offers are scarcer there. Agriculture isn`t enough to provide them with proper subsistence.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]


Yes, exactly, PiS won`t relinquish their authoritarian programme if they win. Free-oriented people mustn`t rest on their laurels.


Yes. :) OK, you were right.

Yes, I read somewhere: The third round will take place in the Supreme Court.
