Instead of raising becikowe, giving people with lots of children better housing etc, to increase the population growth, Tusk is just saving money.
Stop making a fool of yourself. Your arguments are infantile. In which country are people given better housing from the state when they have lots of children?
I found it striking that it is very hard to find anything about Polands attitude towards Slovakia.
Yes, it is hard, even despite the fact that Slovaks invaded Poland as an ally of Hitler in 1939. But it all was forgiven and forgotten and today Poles are fairly easy going about Slovakia. When in the USA, I remember two Slovaks working with a big group of Poles on a construction site. The relation was very good.
Polish drivers are uniting to protest against new restrictions. . They vow to drive according to rules to make Rostowski go bankrupt.
fines of like 10,000zl for people caught with alcohol in their blood, crucify people with debts, really make them hurt, taking a hardline is the only thing that'll work here, since nothing else has.
You forgot about the compulsory confiscation of the car. I heard today they are going to introduce it in Belarus soon. It should be in Poland too.
Gumi, I am preparing a test from Unit 3 for tomorrow (actually it is today) and you are expecting me to teach you at night???? Sorry, the test is more important. I get paid for it by the state while here nobody is paying me, especially you.
what is that they can learn better at school than in kindergarten -children aged six still need to play with toys and not run with rucksacks filled with books -
Your knowledge about the subject is alarmingly low. Stop talking about things you have no idea of.
The police in both Poland and Britain often wear yellow reflective vests when on duty in public even during daylight hours and when the weather is clear and visibility is good.
AAAh, yes!! I completely forgot about it!!
British policeman wearing a yellow reflective vest:
Excuse me, but your choice of pictures might arouse a suspicion in some posters that you tend to be a bit prejudiced......
so you couldn't be a teacher in England pawian as you probably know
Actually, I have never thought of leaving Poland, contrary to most PiS lovers in this forum. :):):):):):):):)
have you witnessed those stalinist methods pawian - what kind of those methods have you witnessed back then - you are making a fool of yourself - and a coward
Were you among those scared during the PiS lead coalition rule? why you were so scared if so? I haven't met any scared people to be honest - maybe they were all too scared to say they were scared huh
Yes, intelligent people were scared when they saw what stalinist methods PiS was using to rule.
Witnesses weren`t informed of their rights Night interrogations of witnesses from 10 pm to 3 am. Threatening witnesses, as old as 80, with arrest or other unpleasant results of their refusal to cooperate etc. Forcing witnesses to give false evidence.
etc to be continued
The judge who sentenced the doctor called these methods stalinist and announced reporting them to the court.
Warsaw- A respected surgeon specialising in heart transplants has been arrested on charges of murder and corruption, the head of Poland's Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA) said Wednesday in Warsaw. The evidence against the physician, identified only as Dr. Miroslaw G., head of the cardio-surgery department in Warsaw's elite Interior Ministry Hospital, is "shocking," CBA head Mariusz Kaminski said.
The doctor`s arrest was broadcast on national TV.
Also undercover films showing the doctor taking bribes were released. The doctor accepts a book with money inside from a grateful woman whose husband had been successfully operated on.
Justice Minister, Ziobro, says memorable words: No-one else will ever again be deprived of life by this man'
Mirosław Garlicki was a well regarded surgeon at Warsaw's interior ministry hospital. In what the young and ambitious justice minister, Zbigniew Ziobro, hoped would be a coup in his attempt to root out corruption in Polish public life, Garlicki was arrested in February while at work, and led out in handcuffs past stunned co-workers. The whole scene was filmed and broadcasted on national television."
A few days ago Warsaw court ruled that M. G., the head of open-heart surgery ward in one of best clinics in this country is guilty of accepting 17,000 Polish zlotys bribe and sentenced him for one year imprisonment suspended for two years. The parties may appeal.
Before that sentence, the doctor had sued the PiS Justice Minister, Ziobro, who had publicly accused him of murder in 2007, and he won.
[i]On 25 August 2008 the Kraków Regional Court gave judgment. It ordered the defendant to publish an apology directly after the main evening news programmes on the three national television stations (TVP, Polsat and TVN). The apology read: "I, Zbigniew Ziobro apologise to Dr Mirosław Garlicki for having said about him that 'no-one else will ever again be deprived of life by this man', which tarnished the reputation of Dr Mirosław Garlicki." "(Ja Zbigniew Ziobro przepraszam Pana dr Mirosława Garlickiego za wypowiedzenie pod jego adresem słów - już nikt nigdy przez tego Pana życia pozbawiony nie będzie - które naruszyły cześć Pana dr Mirosława Garlickiego)."
I am sorry but Pawian, I don't qyuite understand what do you mean?? What does that got to do with brnging justice and leadership back to the country? Don't you want Poland to be a wealthy and a powerful country again???
As a patriot of Poland, I want the best for her.
As an intelligent person, I know that another PiS rule will be a disaster.
Exactly, that`s what all PiS maniacs wish for. They are longing for revolutions, massacres,troubles. Shorty speaking, the worse, the better.
That is why PiS will never take power in this country again because there are still intelligent decent people in Poland who know that PiS rule is a moral and economic disaster.
Hey, it is unfair. The Clash of Cultures thread reached over 250 posts while here it is so sluggish. Are there really no more concords? Expats, what did you find the same or very similar in Poland?
Has this book been ever mentioned in the PF?
Carp in the Bathtub, Throttled Buglers, and other Tales of an Englishman in Poland
Are you travelling to Poland, and wish to know more about the Poles you'll encounter? Are you fascinated by this country of forty million, rich in natural beauty, cultured, and famous for its people's wanderlust? Have you ever wondered what makes your Polish plumber or waitress or doctor over here tick? What book do you pick for background and insight? A superficial travel guide? A dry history book? No! You need the genre-busting Polska Dotty. Follow the hilarious exploits of a newly-wed English lad and Polish girl as they settle in Poland and encounter corrupt Polish police, counterfeit software sellers, and scammy private doctors.
An example of concord according to the author: Both Poles and Brits are clever and creative.
Unfortunately, I tried to find Matura Exam 1978 by £oziński on youtube but it is unavailable. It seems I must borrow it from my school library and load there. Stay tuned.
Can't beat that sense of humor! Thanks Pawian! :-)
Warm memories, aren`t they ? :):):):)
If you were blessed with the child - the nursery was for free. And the school, books etc.
Unfortunately, even communism couldn`t afford free nurseries or books. As for schools, yes, they have been always free.
