News / Poland -- 23rd most innovative country [8]

So it means that under PO(O) things had not been as bad as you tend to portray them?

No, they hadn`t. Now it is much worse, under PiS Poland has dropped to 39th position out of 127.

you seem to forget PO robbed the retirement funds to save the budget

And PiS is doing the same today. Why has PiS become PO????

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

K-K is one of the more credible figures on the political scene right now.

Yes, but you know what PiS nebolshevik propagandists will do with him if he gets to the next stage? They will go over and over his clapping after the antiChurch speech of certain liberal journalist a few months ago. If that doesn`t help, they will accuse him of taking bribes (from students at Medical University) just like they did with KO`s Grodzki in Senate.

How can it affect viewers, I wonder?

Life / Blasphemy not OK in Poland! [54]

How do the rich accumulate wealth, jon?

First of all, they buy property. Secondly, they invest in funds and direct stocks. Thirdly, they purchase art.
Don`t you do it yourself in the USA?

If you say so. Do you have some examples handy or will we remind in a realm of vague insinuations,

Here you are, darling. Last year you vehemently defended Piotrowicz, once a communist prosecutor who oppressed the democratic opposition, today a prominent figure in PiS.

News / Is the Polish-Polish war ending? Is the PiS-PiS war beginning? [14]

And I have just read a comment which might shed more light on the situation: PiS sent secret services to Banaś` offices and houses to find out what papers he has against PiS. The commenter said: hopefully, Banaś didn`t keep his files at home but in a safe place and when he is pressed too much, they will surface, causing a little earthquake.

It's amazing how Ironside has no problem with actual Communists,

Coz he is a true one, too? :):) Son of the regiment, sort of. See what I mean:

Don't you know that certain values or in that case anti-values can be taught/transferred to the next generation?

Ironik, darling, that`s the notion Soviets kept to while dispensing "justice" to the enemies of people. When Stalin ran mass purges in 1930s, he also ordered his henchmen to arrest and execute or send to Gulag family members of the accused.

Now you gladly follow this tradition - isn`t it wonderful? hahaha

PS. Who said it last year? - delph or maf - you can take Iron out of PRL but you can`t take PRL out of Iron.

Ha!

Life / Living like a local in Poland - What does it even mean? [30]

last time I felt smell of tomatoes was 3 years ago in Amsterdam. Guess many Poles don't have idea of how fresh tomatoes should smell.

I was told it is quite the opposite - Polish tomatoes and produce in general has proper natural taste and smell.

Po polsku / Jak zwykle chodzi o kasę! [48]

To Tusk obiecywał, że nie podniesie podatków,

I PiS robi to samo.

To znów obiecywał elektrownię jądrową i nic.

I PiS robi to samo.

To PO w biały dzień zrobiła skok na OFE.

I PiS robi to samo.

Przykłady można by mnożyć, ale po co?

No żeby sobie porównać jak PiS stał się Platfusem. :)

Work / Choice of Poland's OFE ( Open Pension Funds ) [30]

PiS government has decided about the fate of OFE funds - they will be dissolved. Experts claim it is daylight robbery on people`s money. More exactly, 15% of it - that`s the tax the state is going to collect from each individual account.

News / Mateusz Matyszkowicz, executive director of Fronda will lead TVP Kultura [15]

and it confirms what we've all been saying - that PiS will simply turn the public media into PZPR-bisTV.

Nobody really predicted what PiS would do to state public media. The truth is they are even more propagandist than communist. Shame on those neobolsheviks from PiS.

History / Greater Poland Uprising (1918-1919) [10]

There is a good film made about the Rising: Męskie Sprawy - Males` Job. See the skirmish between insurgent Poles and Germans at 1:22:45. Made in 1980s so the special effects aren`t too good.

Genealogy / I am an ethnic Pole. What is my blood type group? Need help translating. [12]

my blood type is " 0

In that case, you should consume large quantities of meat products which are the best for your group. People with type 0 thrive on meat.

My type is A and I thrive on meat-free diet based on fruit and vegetables, beans and legumes, and whole grains.

Love / Hispanic girl Polish guy [9]

And even more ridiculous to suggest, like you do, that you should give priority to a girlfriend instead of your OWN FAMILY.

Was it written in the Book for nought? :

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Hmm, I never heard "wszystkich radości" before. But it sounds OK, fresh and different than those traditional cliched greetings. :)

Life / Blasphemy not OK in Poland! [54]

ruling that will make prospective blasphemers think twice befiore they Adam Darski, who heads a Satan metal group,

He didn`t make much of the ruling and continued to perform blasphemous acts. E..g, in 2019 when he trampled on Black Madonna picture.

Law / Parental Child Abduction (Indian man married to Polish wife) [32]

but one day you will join them, you will face your final moments in this world.

Unfortunately, very few people think about it during the prime of life. It is pure abstraction to them. Some start at the old age..... :)

My, my my.

Hey, don`t walk out on us again! It is unfair. We have invested so much in you and now you are leaving us only to come back under another nick. Do you realise that after some time, you will run out of catchy amusing nicks? What will you do then????

Wouldnt be surprised if the guy wanted to visit his son after the break up but was denied by her.

We must wait and hear more from the father`s side. Anything is possible.

I will obviously vote for PAD to keep leftist liberal-loonies away from destroying my country

Hey, it`s the same as me but in the opposite direction! Obviously, I won`t vote for PAD to keep rightist neobolshevik loonies from destroying my country. :):)

LGBT ideology to schools

BS. None of non-PiS candidates supports such ideas, probably except Biedroń.

bland and care only about them (and their party) to get to the koryto.

Exactly. That`s about Duda and PiS.

Kamysz - is a communist,

BS. You mistook him with sb else. Zandberg? But he doesn`t run for presidency.

Law / Parental Child Abduction (Indian man married to Polish wife) [32]

Calling him a foreigner is only done to dehumanize him.

Hmmm.... I thought that calling him a foreigner was only to make people aware he wasn`t Polish. And that a foreigner is perfectly neutral. I am so sorry, I am not an expert in this posh political correctness because I am a simple country boy from Poland. :) I still have to learn a lot.

Lying that he abducted his own son is a feminist tactic

Actually, the man attacked the mother in the street, punched her several times, grabbed the boy, threw him into the car and drove off quickly. Witnesses said so. In result, I thought it was an abduction. Now you say it wasn`t. I am prone to believe you. Probably my English failed me here. So, when can we talk about a real abduction?

Nice to see that Bieganski is continuing his crusade against Polish women.

Mr Bieganski is a very learned man. He runs his own blog and publishes books.
