News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

they should show the same respect to those who might one day want to exercise that right.

are we supposed to respect the right to murder people - from what I have heard we put murderers in jails

Bravo Kijowski, Petru & Schetyna!!! Maybe you will have achieved yet another rating-agency downgrade.

you know Polonius these guys preach PiS rule is catastrophic to Poland so you understand the worse for Poland now the better for them (at least they hope so) but we'll see

Travel / Need advice on trip to Poland [21]

Tell me where it is and I might be able to help.

she said it is near Kolno - Kolno is near (north of) Łomża - i am not sure if trains still reach Łomża (they used to) - anyway I think it would be better to rent a car to travel in the area (it is not very developed and in recent years many bus services have been cancelled)

Law / Not having a car insurance for a little while in Poland [13]

I'm wondering if I can just postpone paying for a insurance renewal.

if you don't use a car there wouldn't be legal problems (if it safely parked especially on a private property) - but as Looker said the continuity must be preserved - so your company will demand from you the payment for all the time you haven't been in Poland - if you have the resources now just pay the OC (they usually want you to pay for half-a-year periods anyway)

AC or OC

AC - Auto Casco - non-compulsory
OC -ubezpieczenie od Odpowiedzialności Cywilnej (odpowiedzialność cywilna = legal liability) - compulsory

odpowiedzialność cywilna = legal liability)

actually more like civil liability according to bab.la examples

Life / Why Polish Diminutives/Nicknames are so popular? [14]

it can be a nickname derived from his family name and not the first name - it is fairly common in Poland - his surname though could not be very popular and it's difficult to extrapolate it from the nickname

Law / Need help on how to cancel a company in Poland. [8]

-limited liability company [5000 zloty capital.

dissolving a limited liability company is not a straightforward process in Poland - you need to see a lawyer here as it involves going to a court

News / Mieszkania Plus programme - PiS fulfills yet another campaign promise [50]

Seen it, but the changes that will come into force in July will only bring 15 billion in revenue according to the forecasts.

I believe it is just a first step - there will be more savings to the budget when restrictive law is enforced calling for taking over of all possessions of the scammers - I believe PiS wait for having control over the Constitutional tribunal to pass such laws - it's not that long only half a year to go

News / Mieszkania Plus programme - PiS fulfills yet another campaign promise [50]

The government was busy governing

hmm you never heard of the PO scandals and affairs - interesting

btw I am not sure what the government was doing if it allowed for billions of zlotys to be snapped away from the state by VAT scammers - for years

80 billion zlotys is around 1/5 of the Polish budget

News / Mieszkania Plus programme - PiS fulfills yet another campaign promise [50]

. There's only one sure-fire way to obtain money and that is to work for it.

well there are people who don't think that way and they have extracted over 80 billion PLN in undue VAT refunds from the sate last year

or maybe you think they worked for all that money, do you?

Food / I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM - the best ice cream shop in Poland? [34]

I think the tradition of making ice-cream came to Poland from Italy - I haven't travelled that much in my life but I was in southern Italy and their ice-creams where not much different to Polish - I only had and ice-cream once when I was in the UK but it was rubbish - I vaguely remember that I had ice-creams in Germany and they were quite like the Polish variety as well

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

Any idea why this is?

I think it is a complex issue - it sure has to do with recent and not so recent history - but even though you may ridicule the idea I think it also has spiritual background i.e. what kind of souls embody in this nation for the most part

Life / Stereotypes about Polish people being stupid? [281]

helping someone through whatever means necessary entails some sort of pull or bribery, face it!

Lyzko Jews are known for their solidarity and Poles not so much (even though we had Solidarity movement) - if there is bribery involved I wouldn't call it help sorry

What group doesn't help the other, Mr. Wiech? Germans help Germans, Poles help Poles etc

you are wrong Poles don't help Poles - solidarity among Poles is very low -

History / Current Polish-Russian relations.. What do the Poles think? [60]

this is not true - however Slavs were once a gentically homogenic entity originated somewhere in the north Ukraine possibly in the swamps of the Pripyat' river - from there they expanded in a couple of directions initially and started to mix with indigenous populations where they expanded

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

Clearly shows that PiS are actually on an average of 32% in May, while PO/Nowoczesna are ahead.

well says the one who predicted that PiS have no chance of forming a majority in Sejm

here polska.newsweek.pl/pis-z-duzym-poparciem-w-sondazach-czy-popracie-spada-analiza,artykuly,378129,1.html

all here about it. Probably they weren't allied to PiS, so they got the money cut.

Centrum Praw Kobiet is a fundation aka NGO - the goverment does not have to fund these organizations there are state owned organs that deal with the victims of domestic violence

He should be ashamed of himself

you won't win this war no matter how hard you try - no matter how many Newsweek articles you quote and the support for PiS is not 33 per cent but still 37 per cent and I guess it will grow until the next elections

PiS believe that cutting funding for centres that deal with victims of domestic violence is a correct thing to do

btw i haven't found the info anywhere - where did you get it from?

, you'll never understand Poles, or be one.

hhahah said the one who understands the Poles funny

Oops, yet again you get caught fibbing about the lovers of PIS.

it's a mistranslation or a deliberate manipulation - no Polish source repeats what your English language source states

Kaczmarczyk said glass ceilings are only in imagination of women - this not equals to wage discrimination is a myth

this is how Polish you are - you rely on English language sources to know what is going on in Poland

but they underestimated what motivated Poles can achieve.

KOD are a tiny minority of Poles - to compare them with Solidarity is hillarious - solidarity had 10 millions of members

It's well known that he had problems paying it when he was unemployed

he still does not pay the full amount that was decided by court - it's in one of his interviews afaik

Actually, many people have pointed out that the 500+ programme is doing more harm than good,

in what way??

what harm

as it's encouraging women to stay at home rather than stay in the labour market

hardly - I've seen the calculations and you are still much better off working than relying on the 500 PLN per month

If PiS really don't know how to encourage equality in the workplace,

what do you mean by equality - there is equality - you want some privildges for women I think - privilidges is not equality

you can't require women and men to take a leave equally - PiS is subsidising families right now as we speak - and I don't like the idea of the state being involved with promotions among stuff in private companies - you cannot force love or respect
