News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

Gumi, I saw your reply, it was binned allegedly due to excessive quoting. Sorry for that.

polishforums.com/off-topic/poland-random-chat-74400/40/#msg1745214
I read all your explanations and wasn`t satisfied coz you tried to persuade us that most promises were impossible to carry out, while some have just been introduced (after 5 years of rule, just before next elections).

If they were impossible, hadn`t PiS known about it before? If they had, it means they are liars. If they hadn`t, it means they are stupid amateurs.

All in all, the unfulfilled promises remain PiS` failure.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

I'm not saying that Ukraine is not a real country.

But you tried to play it down with these words: additionally Poland existed as county for 1000's of years. Ukraine from 1991. Spot the difference

You don't, you are very opinioned old commie fossil.

Yaaawn, How about some sensible arguments pertaining to our discussion?

Quite the opposite they're in possession of the territories that doesn't belong to them

You probably wanted to say: didn`t belong.
So what? It does belong now and the case is closed, my dear Watsiron.

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

I could live in Brazilian jungle for last decade or two and I would have exactly same info as you do off internet and media

Spike, the fourth surprise on my part at your lack of understanding of basic laws of nature. Yes, you would have an access to all info about Poland but you wouldn`t use it in full coz you would be preoccupied with jungle issues as well. Right now you are residing in GB and it is natural you have to divide your time between two countries. While I enjoy the privilige of being able to focus only on one country - Poland. You will never be able to beat me in that. Forget it. Coz, let me use your own words on you now, I will share a little secret with you: Poland is my positive obsession - number one, even before my farming hobby. hahaha

The problem is that you're arguments are deeply emotional and seldom logical.

I see that you are in self-denial right now. OK, you need time to reconsider what I wrote.

I'm going for a pint in a good company. The pubs are open, end of deadly pandemia.

I see : jungle issues replace Polish ones. hahaha

What is the point in talking to the fossil?

Are you going to put me on ignore to avoid stress? I would certainly miss discussions with you. hahahaha

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

Polsat is a Polish private capital media company and is more independent that both

No, it isn`t. It is my third surprise today at your lack of understanding of simple laws of nature. Solorz, the owner of Polsat, needed to expand his business but that required the permission of the government: licenses etc. In order to get it, he made a secret deal with PiS and promised to cut down on criticism and enhance positive message about PiS. This deal took place 2 years ago and you could have missed it due to your absence in Poland. Solorz is a big shot but still too small for PiS` style of ruling. He had to swallow a bitter pill and change his ways.

So, when you talk about independent Polsat owned by a Polish businessman, I can only laugh: hahaha

acute combination of inferiority complex (foreign=better) mixed with pure naivety.

hahaha I see you are rejecting all my reasonable arguments. Let it be so. Peace. :)

Such a clueless fossil like he,

hahaha isn`t it amusing you aren`t able to talk to me directly, but need intermediaries instead? Scared shytless, Iron? buhahaha

Yes, women who still prefer male domination will vote for Duda. Those independent ones won`t.

Submissive women supported Duda and Bosak: 42,6% +4.6%
Independent women supported Trzask, Hołownia, Biedroń and KK: 51,7% altogether:

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

such a concentration of foreign-owned media in their own countries.

Thanks God, and thanks to foreign capital, Poles can enjoy the media free of PIS control and censorship.

Countries like Germany or France would never allow, and never did,

Again, I am surprised by your lack of understanding of simple laws of nature. Anti-democratic parties like PiS would never gain whole power in Western countries. That is why France and Germany can afford their own national media coz there is no danger that a neobolshevik party like PiS will use them against democracy, like it is happening in Poland. Simple.

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

The only opinion polls which really counts are the elections.

Yes, exactly.

they may be more free than mass media owned by a foreign capital such as onet, newsweek, TVN or fakt...

It is a bit surprising you seem not to understand certain laws of nature. You probably swallowed too much PiS propaganda. :) Media with foreign capital are truly free coz their owners don`t care about politics, they care about profits. That is why they employ POLISH journalists to run the business for them. How do media make profit?? When they are popular among readers/viewers/listeners. You can`t deny the fact that TVN is popular among Poles and even PIS supporters use it coz they can`t stand PiS TV .

Conclusion: Polish workers of foreign capital media do their best to satisfy the needs of Polish recipients which makes them independent and free. Isn`t it obvious ?

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

A favour which brings more harm than good. In one of La Fontaine`s fables, a bear wants to kill a fly which bothers his human friend, but as it uses a heavy rock, it kills both the man and the fly.

I am curious would Polish women vote for brat Duda. Women like strong hand

Yes, women who still prefer male domination will vote for Duda. Those independent ones won`t.

I agree with those numbers

It seems free media also agree, more or less::

fakty.interia.pl/raporty/raport-wybory-prezydenckie-2020/aktualnosci/news-wybory-2020-sondaz-dla-dorzeczy-pl-andrzej-duda-o-wlos-wygry,nId,4592484

Who is going to vote for Trzaskowski?

Hołownia voters: 82%
Biedroń - 80
KK - 75
Bosak - 31.

That still shows Trzask needs additional votes to win.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

What do you care what they say or think?

I care, darling, coz any change of borders in the East after a devastating war will result in the change of borders in the West. Only debils don`t understand it.

additionally Poland existed as county for 1000's of years. Ukraine from 1991

So what? Ukraine is a state and it is a fact. We are talking about factual situations, aren`t we?

Spot the difference you crazy person with your hhhaa.

buahahaha

The idea that Ukraine isn't a "real" country is a Putin talking point for invading and chopping up Ukraine.

Iron has always been suspected of being a Kremlin troll.

Look who is talking. You post from Israel.

Yes, I decided to pay you a visit. hahaha Why are you hiding from me? We were to meet at the Wailing Wall but you didn`t come. Why?

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

There is nothing to argue about, What Ukrainian?

In the same way a German may say about Wrocław and comment: What Polish? hahaha

don't like when hate toward Ukrainians is promoted under excuse they "stole" Polish Lvov.

The only person here who dreams of recapturing Lvov is Ironside, who is a mental nationalist and completely blind to any logic and reality. He even doesn`t live in Poland.

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [345]

possibly ethnic Poles never constituted majority of population in Lvov. At least not in 20-th century.

Possibly yes, they did. 51% of Lvov population were Catholic in 1921. And 63.5% spoke Polish as first language in 1931.

Love / Are the Polish the most suspicious people in Europe? [73]

Of the polish people I have met there have been only two kinds. Uneducated and university educated.

That`s possible when you only depend on immigration contacts. To meet a broader spectrum, you would need to visit their native country.

But they followed the plumber about making his job really hard as there were 4 people In a tiny bathroom.

hahahaha I can perfectly imagine this scene.

However, how should they know that your 180-per-hour plumber was honest? Perhaps they already knew that British plumbers can be as shifty as any other plumbers in the world. Your plumber charged 180 per hour - are you sure he wouldn`t like to charge a double price if he ran into a naive client???

There are several cases of swindle plumbers every year

This makes Konfederacja voters they only big swing vote in the second round.

No, not only. Hołownia voters are much more attractive - 2.6 million!! While Konfederacja 1 million less. Boooo..... hahahaha

33% will stay home. That probably includes me.

Thanks. You are a decent person after all. :):)

they started complementing Krzysztof Bosak and his voters right after the first round results.

yes, that`s what I love about Polish politics - it is so crazy and always sth funny happens.

Travel / Areas in Poland with agricultural fields? [2]

You mean such vast spaces? Yes, there are such areas in Western and Northern Poland. Once those areas belonged to state farms (PGR) during communism. Later they were bought or leased by private farmers/companies and consist of hundred of acres/hectares of land.

On the contrary, Lesser Poland region consists of little farms with arable land divided into narrow strips and one`s fields scattered all over the place

See it below:

I think TV was much better circa 2005-2014.

People always say that sth was better in the past. Look at those youngsters today! What rascals! We were much better mannered and educated back then.

Language / Polish opinions on foreign languages? [54]

Neither harder not easier - just the same, depending on what type of dyslexia one has and how it affects their cognitive development, working memory capacity and reading performance. I have met a few dozen dyslexic students so far and each of them possessed different strengths and weaknesses and required a different handling coz the approach used on one student doesn`t produce the same results with another.

Language / Polish opinions on foreign languages? [54]

I felt right at home in Hungary.

When I visited Hungary in communist times, I used German to communicate. A lot of Hungarians could speak it as they watched Austrian TV. You can research German vocabulary system in Hungary. :)

As you know there are plenty of expats in Poland and on this forum (mainly brits)

Yes, and what do they get from their interlocutors? Abuse and derision, most often.

Or are you worried about competition for your job?)

Never have I feared competition. Whenever a foreign teacher came to my workplaces, I welcomed him/her with open arms and heart.

Yes, logic is your primary problem - you seldom stick to it. Let alone lies and manipulation when you realise you are losing a debate. Tfu, sobaka! hahaha

You should stay in your native country and try to make a good career there. As an expat, you will feel estranged among locals.

News / Kukiz and Petru - newly emerging political stage in Poland [57]

I loved Kukiz as a rock group leader. His "Piersi" really influenced me in 1980s and 1990s. Great music and lyrics.

However, as a politician he proved worthless. For some time he formed an alliance with PiS, especially when they were creating their own judiciary. Later he declared his disappointment with PiS. He gradually lost most of his MPs. In the last year`s elections he had to affiliate himself with PSL to get elected - actually, they saved his azz in the politics for the next 4 years.

Today, he critisizes PSL for poor results by Kosiniak Kamysz. And declares he won`t vote in the second round.

Only one word comes to my mind: azzhole. But I still like and listen to his old music. :):
