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

One cannot lose a debate which didn't take place.

Sorry, I used a shortcut. I didn`t mean Duda can lose a debate. I meant he can lose support from potential voters who didn`t vote for him in the first round and now, seeing him chicken out befoire Trzaskowski, they will think twice..

It's the same cesspool as TVP just on the opposite political side.

No, of course not. Now you are really biased. Nobody can beat PiS TV :)

Duda went to Polsat to attract centrist voters,

And I can read he failed coz he only repeated his usual lies and propaganda of success. That can attract a confirmed PiS fan, but not a centrist voter like me. HA!

Life / What Are Top Television Shows to Watch in Poland? [20]

I can`t help you, it`s not my cup of tea coz I stopped watching TV on regular basis exactly 29 years ago when I moved to my own flat and decided to live without a TV set.

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

to see how many Celtic warriors are buried inside them?

They don`t need to dig, it is enough to use scanners now. Only one body was found - Krak`s. And his pet dragon`s next to it.

It is Krakówek. With Warszawka,

It seems Mr President reads our forum coz one day after we had mentioned it here he used the expression krakówek.

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

This is a pharaonic project for which the government will have no money in the future

I read the comment: PiS will do their best to push it coz the opposition claims it is an idiotic idea. :)

The air traffic is not likely to return to the levels observed in the times before COVID-19

So, currently, it is a useless idea. How about 2050?

o baptize it "Lech Kaczyński Airport"?

Knowing PiS, it is probably one of main reasons.

Language / Polish opinions on foreign languages? [54]

I'd like to ask you do you think Polish or German has the longer words?

I never thought about it. Why is it important? The German language has long words, which are mostly several words packed together into one (compounds/ composites). And the system is very logical. Like a Lego construction - put a few words together to create a new one .

I know many Poles lean German. Do you find it harder than Swedish?

I am afraid you won`t find too many members who can tell you that.

History / Roman Dmowski-Patriot, Nationalist, Anti-Semite? [252]

Nobody cares what you would rather .

I only wanted to offer you a hand after you began to iontroduce logical chaos into our discussion. We were talking about the hypothetivcal expulsion of Jews by Dmowski`s henchmen during interwar period when you suddenly jumped to WW2 Holocaust. Can`t you see the warped logic of your reasoning? Too bad.

Jews are not Poles is not a doctrine that is a reality in itself - an objective fact.

hahaha Objective fact. According to Dear iron.

So you would rather oppose Dmowski and have them killed.

And where exactly did I say it, darling?? hahaha

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

Participating in TVN's hostile debate hold nothing of value for Duda right now,

Exactly. And Trzaskowski should take advantage of it against Duda. This way or another, Duda loses.

That would be a legatine claim. With 30% support you can wait till you wilt.

You need to think twice before saying such things. :) Why? Coz Trzaskowski got to the second round, it doesn`t matter how many percent he gained.

You want to vote for a coward who will do anything the party leader tells him to.

Yes. But most PiS` voters don`t mind and will vote for him, regardless what he will or won`t do. Hopefully, there won`t be many more above 43.5% he already got.

History / Cars made in Poland - during communist and post-communist times [23]

you could then go in purchase a vehicle at one of these stores?

Yes, you could purchase a car - either Polish made or foreign. My mother`s dentist bought a Japanese Charade in 1980s - it cost about 4000$.

I generally liked the styling of Warszawa Sedan and Nysa vans.

Do you remember that Bulgarian crime/spy film in which a part of the plot is set in Hong Kong or Singapore and the director used Nysa Vans as Asian police cars? That film was on in 1990s.

Love / Dating married Polish man - please help! [6]

Plus, are there any Polish people here who could explain his family's behaviour?

It is probably a case of a Pole who converted to Islam. In this religion a male can have more than 1 wife.
Currently, he is in two minds about the divorce. Perhaps, he is really intent on marrying you but still wants to keep the previous wife.

hose who wishes him to lose

If he is afraid to lose a debate, it means he shouldn`t be a president. Presidents are expected to be strong and not suffer from such childish fears. Polsat interview, quite impartial, proved he is a weak azzhole - the reporter pressed while Duda sweated and faltered.

it is Trzaskowski who needs a debate more than Duda

Yes, but by avoiding the debate, Duda might lose voters. because Trzaskowski will certainly play this tune till the end. Look below: empty speech stand

Exactly, Marek Grechuta isn`t a rock band. buhahaha It probably means you haven`t listened to him at all.

That is why Duda staff are pooping their pants right now. One of them has even demanded a German ambassador to do sth with the editor of the daily which put Duda on its cover in paedophile context. hahaha Why are rightards such idiots?

What doctrine? Reality.

Political doctrines are usually based on reality, aren`t they? :)

2. IF that were that case - wouldn't that save their lives?

Yes, but I `d rather you didn`t mix Dmowski and Hitler now. Let`s stick to one guy, OK?

History / Roman Dmowski-Patriot, Nationalist, Anti-Semite? [252]

Yes, if Dmowski got power instead of Piłsudski, one day there would be a forced expulsion of Jews from Poland. The reason would be Dmowski`s doctrine: Jews weren`t Polish.

I agree with those numbers except Kosiniak-Kamysz 80% votes for Trzaskowski.

Yes , I knew you would have doubts about this one. :): That is why I thought twice before writing 80%.

Kamysz electorate are conservative countryside voters who are in vast majority against LGBT propaganda.

No more. That`s gone. Only 3% KK`s voters are really rural. Over 50% countryside votes fell on Duda.

His stance on Jews was a matter of principle and circumstance. Not driven by prejudices or emotions.

A paranoid murderer also thinks he/she kills out of principle and in cold blood, never driven by emotions. Have you watched the film 7 with Brat Pitt?

Beside it wasn't Dmowski that negotiated.

Yes ,but he had his men and followers everywhere.

can i get a part time job as an international student in poznan Poland?

Yes, check this site or many other which talk about it
educationpoland.pl/living-working-poland/work/

International students have the right to work while studying in Poland as long as they are enrolled in an Institution. Students who are not nationals of EU member countries must also hold a valid residency permit.

Please i need sincere answers,

I never offer other answers. Always sincere. Sincerity is my middle name.

News / POLAND to have its own automobile brand (back), the SYRENA! [36]

the fso plant in warsaw has been dismantled due to corruption and mismanagement.

First of all, it collapsed coz Poles prefered to buy second hand German cars which were better quality than brand new FSO products. Not to mention much cheaper.

Customers` opinion decided about the fate of the car manufacturer.

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

I'm waiting for:where is Trzaskowski going to get those ~3 700 000 missing votes in order to win

You have been waiting patiently and thou shall be duly rewarded for that:

My estimates which are somewhere in the middle between optimistic and pessimistic:

Hołownia got 2 693.397 votes. 70% of it gives 1 885.000
Biedroń got 432 129. 90% of it gives 388.000
KK got 459 365. 80% of it gives 367.000
Bosak got 1 317 380. 35% of it gives 460.000

Together 3,100,000 votes. Now, it is Trzaskowski`s task to convince lazy voters who refused to take part in the first round. It is probably happening, e.g., Polonia already registered for the second ballot at a record number of 0.5 million.

Now everything is in Trzaskowski`s and God`s hands to collect those missing 600.000 votes. Let them both be lucky with it.. hahaha

I'm sure you are a decent guy

Thank you and the same to you, peace between us. :)

because the public television almost sang in unison with TVN and Polsat

Possible, but it never reached such incredible level of communist-like propaganda as now PiS media do.

but you could sometimes read dorzeczy.pl niezalezna.p or wpolityce.pl just to have a different taste of things

I tried a few times but it is too frustrating to read guys like Ziemkiewicz. Do you want me to break down and get a depression? :)

I was joking, of course, but I indeed read a short interview with Ziemkiewicz and it didn`t appeal to me at all. He claims Konfederacja should vote for Duda coz he is patriotic and supported the March of Independence or Cursed Soldiers, while Trzaskowski didn`t which means he isn`t patriotic.

dorzeczy.pl/kraj/145676/ziemkiewicz-nie-jest-w-interesie-polski-by-ktos-taki-byl-prezydentem.html

Sorry but if I have to read such bollocks for halfwits, I`d rather stick to other media which are prejudiced like Do Rzeczy (taking sides) but at least in a more intelligent way.

But thanks for the idea - I think I will start a new thread about rightwing media one day because now as i am perusing that Do Rzeczy site, I can see nice old communist and PiS` neobolshevik style propaganda. It is certainly worth discussing it in another thread.

anyway it wasn't as simple as pawian would like us to believe

And what exactly did pawian want you to believe? Pawian wrote: Duda pardoned a paedophile. What is untrue in this statement?

Duda pardoned the person because of the victims clearly asked him to (it was a within-family matter)

You conveniently forget one thing : paedophilia isn `t sb`s private matter, it is a crime investigated and punished by the state regardless whether victims forgive or not.

increased centralization and concentration of power/primacy of patronage and connections over merit

Yes, I corroborate it.

Let`s add new ones or develop your ideas:

- a completely unneccessary and harmful return to communist education system
- not only PiS`s TV also Polish Radio
- return of censorship in PiS` media, "propaganda of success" and shocking attacks on the opposition
- your "patronage" was called nomenklatura back then - only trusted communists were appointed to important positions.
- the police detains people for expressing anti-PiS views
- no cheap apartments for young people
- many people still consider emigration as a better option for life

Thank you, PiS, for bringing back the atmosphere of those times. It seems you had missed them so much. hahahaha

They should go ahead with the debate and put a puppet in his chair.

Or a monkey, like the one they were using to predict best investment in stocks - it did surprisingly well. So, if they find a clever monkey, it can perform even better than Duda himself. hahaha

The main problem with "total opposition" are people like you.

hahaha I feel really honoured.

Kaczynski, who knows how to play the game and how to steer the emotions into political gains.

That`s funny you praise the politician who is heavily criticised by your mates from Konfederacja for his political ganstership. Haven`t you considered dropping Konfederacja and affiliating yourself with PiS? Because right now you seem awfully torn between those two.

In order to win all he needs to do is cool off the political emotions and controversies for the next 12 days

Yes, we have just seen this cooling off, pardoning a paedophile. hahaha

That's a tactical move on Duda's side.

No, really? hahaha I thought it is pure cowardice coz in independent media he won`t know the questions.

he will have to debate with an empty chair.

better this than participate in a fake debate. Aren`t you embarassed of supporting this dirty manipulation by PiS controlled media? Even Konfederacja and Bosak critisize it.

Has he already begun to soil his pants?

Yes, very much.

"Those attacks by Trzaskowski`s staff are disgraceful,'; commented Duda`s staff.

hahaha tit for tat, I learned this expression at 18 while preparing for the entrance exam.

Hey, guys who declared their voting preferences on Duda`s side, what do you think about it? hahahaha
