News / PiS candidates are losing positions in EU Parliament. Will they keep power in Poland? [358]

That`s a tricky question. :):) After losing their biggest ally, Britain, PiS has realised at last they have to cooperate with Germans to achieve their political goals in Europe. So, now they are replacing their old anti German rhetoric with a milder one and secret talks about future cohabitation are under way. PiS` influence in the EU parliament will be a result of how positive their relations with Germany are - the better relations, the more influence. Simple.

No, thanks. Firstly, I am not interested. Secondly, why should I ask for more lies from him? I am not a masochist. hahaha

Ooops, we have a misunderstanding then. The question about the conditions was unrelated to the Planty riddle. If you say the Old Town, then I must say: no, although you are close.

Hint: Look at the architecture in the first photo.


You are close.

Life / Who's the best looking (and acting/singing) celebrity in Poland? [32]


To many young people it is Popek, member of the gang of Albania: He underwent scarification on his face, colouring of his eyes and metalisation of his teeth. He`s wonderful.

Study / 90% of Poles have university degree? [57]

What is worrying, though, is the fact that more women have uni education than men in Poland. It is sad coz such uneducated males remain morons all their lives and vote for various chauvinist crazies and political gangsters. Also, they are viewed as losers by their educated female peers in terms of becoming potential husbands. But it is their own fault.

History / Cursed soldiers controvercy - not all Poles respect them [320]


If a serious guy, educated, a member of important institutions, including the director of National Memory Institute, propagates his opinion on certain issue, it means he has certain historic grounds to do it. Isn`t it obvious?

So what? It means that agreeing with Friszke`s judgement that NSZ were collaborators isn`t an act of madness or anti PiS political fury but well founded view.


Can you read more carefully next time? I didn`t say: the most known, I said one of the most known. Do you know the difference????? He is one and you can`t deny it.


In Poland or your emigre country of residence? hahaha

News / Should Polonia and expat Poles lose voting rights in Polish elections? [85]

There were 30.000 Polish voters in the USA this year. It is easy to guess, they are native Poles, either people from recent emigration or just seasonal workers or family visitors.

Most of them voted PiS but they would, too if they stayed in Poland.
So, let it be and I am not against Am Polish voting any more.

Chicago 69% for PiS.
New York - 49.5%.

It is comforting, though that these results were lower than in elections a few years ago. A water drop erodes the rock....slowly... :):)

Other cities voted for KO:

Washington - 45%.
LA - 48%
Houston - 43%

I thought it was very easy.
Later it occured to me that if you had difficulty with guessing those symbolic sites of once existing towers, it means you haven`t met this tradition in Britain before. Don`t Brits do such things to their gone historic places?

Not Juwenalia. Hint: look at the participants.

PS. There is one more riddle in post 57.

Not all of them. Check out one of most known historians - Friszke. He is strongly against honouring NSZ as collaborators.

Your hopes for mature Konf are infantile. They are too weak to be a constructive sensible opposition. They will be funny or disgusting clowns, coz it is their best role. Mind my words.


It is sad you seem to be devoid of enough intellect to comprehend it. :(:(: It means we still need to work on you.


Actually, you have never given me a chance to listen to you. :):)

Yes, we have known about it since last Sunday so you dont` need to remind about it in every post of yours after your successful come back to the forum (I am really glad). We do have access to some independent media here in Poland. :):)


That`s great news! The more radical PiS becomes, the bigger chances for a wide anti PiS coalition in the future! You have just made my happy day. Thanks a lot. :):):)

I know you can read Polish so get acquainted with this wise article about "the lost victory" of PiS

One of 6 problems discussed in the article is the one we haven`t mentioned here: the gradual extinction of PiS oldest voters.

Sorry, these incantations aimed at distorting reality are useless. I am amazed you don`t understand such obvious things. :):)


I hope you will soon cease being so fond of PiS like so far. Did you hear that PiS doesn`t want to let Konfederacja take seats in the far right part of the Parliament, traditionally occupied by PiS? hahaha

I also read some Konfederacja guys claim their election success is partly a result of blatant lies and manipulation about Konfederacja in PiS controlled state TV channel. It is said to have mobilised Konfederacja supporters to take part in voting.

So, when you stop loving PiS, tell us so that we can open champagne. hahahaha

History / Cursed soldiers controvercy - not all Poles respect them [320]

A few weeks ago there was again controvercy about Świętokrzyska Brygada. They were honoured as Polish heroes during a 75th anniversary ceremony held by PiS, yet a lot of combatants critisized PiS for elevating those traitors who collaborated with Gestapo, received weapons and ammo from Germans, saluted Germans while meeting in streets etc.

apnews.com/9eb9502f00724a50aeb33082ff7ce692

Polish officials joined war veterans on Sunday to pay tribute to a World War II-era underground force that collaborated with Nazi German forces toward the end of the war in their battle against the Communists, who were imposing control on the nation. ....... Opponents of the commemorations held a protest where people held banners that said "No! to collaboration" and "Collaborating with the enemy is treason."

Yes, if I was doubtful about it before, now I must say I fully agree with you. Polish emigrees vote for free Poland! Down with neo bolshevik PiS!

News / PiS` magic tricks - the first budget without deficit in Poland [39]

Mr Gowin, one of PiS` allies, said his group won`t support the planned increase of obligatory payments to Polish Social Security. If he keeps his word, the budget will lose about 5 billion PLN.

The balanced budget by PiS is slowly becoming a song of the past from before elections...... :):)

News / How could PiS better spend billions instead of 500+ ? [280]

Did I mention that 500+`s main objective, ie. raise the number of newborns in Poland, has failed? According to statistics, after a LITTLE boom we have come back to numbers from before 500+.

nczas.com/2019/07/27/500-plus-nie-dziala-tak-jak-zakladali-rzadzacy-liczby-nie-klamia/

Besides, PiS openly admits 500+ is spent not on kids but other needs.

E.g., during their election campaign, PiS presented a "typical Polish family" during one of their conventions. Father blatantly praised 500+ handouts with which they "managed to buy a house with a garden"

October and November are forecasted to be cool, even warm. It is good coz I can keep veg in the ground without worrying about them getting damaged by frost. Last year I lost a lot of crops after a few days` freezing temperatures. Even when they come this year, I am ready coz I have prepared a few boxes with sandy dirt in the coldest room in the house to store veg as long as possible.
