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

"Parents can afford to send their children to scout camps and extra-curricular activities.

Exacty. That is why I mercilessly raised my wages. Families get 500+, even for the first child, so they will pay more for my services. Simple. God bless PiS. I even like it.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 2 [1680]

It is indeed one of them :)

I can`t locate it so my random guess is Lublin.

crossed swords and a castle with an open door. The crosses

think of them as a group, not seperate items.

I'll try this. Flags, banners belonging to the Szlachta.

You are very close but you need to change one detail.

Clue: where is the fighting scene inside from?

It would be so called partisans attitude If I was supporting that party. Not only supporting but blindly supporting.

Partisan means supporting a political party. That`s what you do in our discussions - you vehemently defend PiS while we attack them. What is it if not support? Don`t play silly language game, you are partisan to PiS here.

Unwillingness to learn anything new.

Something new from a nationalist? Stop joking. :):)

Genealogy / Any Pole with predominant Black or African ancestry? [26]

is that being black and intelligent is noteworthy because it's rare.

Aaah, now I see it. :):)

But to my defence I must add that I say such things about my white compatriots, too. I looked at the cashier as a member of the Polish society.

Many intelligent people have this special tint in their facial features which makes us guess their mental abilities.

News / Famous Poles die - your memories [112]

Kornel Morawiecki was buried yesterday.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kornel_Morawiecki

A confirmed anticommunist in 1970/80s, an editor and publisher of antisystem underground publications, he set up Fighting Solidarity in 1982. Their programme was simple - abolish communism and retrieve independence. I remember they were tough guys, very militant. When they went to antigovernment demonstrations in 1980s, it was obvious there would be street riots and serious clashes with communist militia.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_Solidarity

While eventually all these things did in fact come to pass, at the time this program was seen as quite radical and unrealistic, even in dissident circles.

The Polish secret police found it extremely hard to infiltrate the organization, even though they employed various tactics, including kidnapping Morawiecki's children in an attempt to blackmail him..

I am afraid Łyżko has related an anecdote which was known in 1970/80s to a few people but later on it got mostly forgotten and didn`t reach the net.

Love / What strange/unnerving/funny things do your Polish wives do? [153]

Guys, let`s talk about our Polish wives` sense of humour.

Rich, can I use your words from another thread?

God has given the sense of humor almost exclusively to men.

Hmm, that almost certainly refers to my wife who can be so sardonic about my lifestyle and strange things I do on the daily basis that I can`t help but laugh out loud when I hear her comments.

Or whenever I ask silly questions, she answers in the same style, even using rhymes:

Seeing a dozen of freshly fried meat patties on a plate, I ask: A te sznycle to dla kogo?
Jej odpowiedź: Dla Misia Gogo

Who are those schnitzels for? I ask.
For Gogo Bear - she answers.

BTW, I still like you, so it's nothing personal.

I know, no hurt feelings whatsoever. :)) I really don`t know but I will try. I said: He looked intelligent. You probably mean that saying so about a black person suggests there are also black guys who aren`t intelligent. And that is against Am PC.

No, Rich, I have no idea what is missing. :):) I think I sent a completey neutral message. So, what is wrong?

I'm not sure you can say he was pure African black just by looking at him :)

Yes, you can say it. Pure blacks are very dark, while mixed blacks are less dark. Easy.

Of course there are people of mixed Polish and African origin.

Yes, of course, but the one I saw was pure African black. And looked very intelligent. We need more Poles like that.

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

Guys, your unablated hatred of PiS stops me from voicing my own misgivings about that party.

Nice partisan attitude. You do exactly what you constantly accuse others of. :):)

I would rather spend that time saying what PiS and its polices lack.

What they lack from a nationalist point of view? Thank you. You can spare it to us coz we know it already - they are not enough fascist to you. :))

Maybe it would help if you would came clean and state your real reasons for such a hate rather than hide behind some vague issue.

What? You are playing my counsellor now? hahaha
Do I really need to elucidate on the matter? It has been always alluded to in my posts that a decent, intelligent person who is a patriot of this country throws up seeing what PiS is doing here. How they destroy relations between Poles - divide, instead of uniting and integrating? They are liars, conmen, political gangsters, hypocrites, paranoics, economic losers and a few other. I would be mad if I didn`t dislike such guys. :):)

I myself, for example, more and more love PiS`s foreign policy. Its very wise.

Unfortunately, what PiS do is sheer amateur cabaret. They are only able to suck American dick and pretend being oblivious to the fact that American leaders have PiS and Poland in deep dupa.

Life / How would you describe the Polish sense of humour? [66]

Polish humour in online comments is often politically oriented, even if the subject matter has no connection with politics.
Check it out:
The article about the most poisonous mushroom - poison fire coral - even touching it may cause serious problems.

nt.interia.pl/raporty/raport-zagadki-przyrody/strona-glowna/news-najniebezpieczniejszy-grzyb-na-swiecie-pojawil-sie-w-austral,nId,3260053

To avoid misunderstandings, they are my translations:

The most poisonous mushroom in the world is the Old Mushroom fom Żoliborz District.

Certain Christine from PiS will devour everything

Mushrom from Toruń is more poisonous. You don`t need to touch him. It is enough to listen and in result you lose some brain and cash.

If you pulled a rubber on it, would it still be dangerous, that little freak?

Compared to mushroom from Toruń, this one is a champignon.

Where can I buy it? I would gladly serve it to my mother in law.

No novelty to me. I ate it yesterday.

Kaczorus Toxicus is a king here.

Touch it with your jonhson and get a hard-on for 8 hours.

My squaw only looks at my mushroom and she faints immediately.

A true male eats such stuff in handfuls.

You are wrong! The most poisonous in the world is atomic mushroom.

I think it is Chairman`s hemorroid.

Give it to total opposition instead of baby octopuses. Let them wolf it down.

I will buy 10 kg! I am organising PiS conference this wekend.

Satan is slowly taking control of the world. This is the first sign.

It looks like an excited carrot.

A new add-on for pizza.

It looks like the limbs of that scum which sold Poland for 500+.

It is very silly of you to ask such questions and doubt my words coz it is possible to check it out for yourself on the net. If you don`t know how or are too lazy to do, it is your fault.

Unfortunately for you, he can. My first comment about him was from 2015, now it is 2019. :) And I said recently:

That was in 2015. Tusk has made an incredible progress since then. Despite a heavy accent, he communicates with world leaders freely.

A lie? It is my opinion.

An opinion which I view as a lie. I have the right to it. hahaha I consider you a compulsive liar after I get proofs for that every day. :):)

Another lie from you. Read my post 54 from 2015 about Tusk

Though Donald Tusk was able to learn how to speak for an arranged interview, he seems a bit lost when running a live discussion

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

Just prove that I'm lying in great detail.

You suggested they are starting a lot of new projects, more than their predecessors. It is not true coz they mostly continue some of old ones while some have been abandoned.

I provided links with articles about lack of new contracts for roads to support my claims, yet you prefered to ignore them.

Another link: the current investment ratio is the lowest within the last 20 years - below 18%. And the Polish economy is thriving so what`s the matter? PiS promised 25% in 2020 but it was a lie, of course. And now you are repeating those lies.

Prove it or slink away in shame.

I have just done it. Will you slink away in shame as you propose? You would if you were a man of honour. But you are just a dishonourable expat.

since you getting personal with your pointless dig at me.

Why do you think it was personal when I easily proved you were and still are lying about PiS investment? Nothing personal, I would expose every liar here even if it was the Pope or a saint. You are neither so why do you expect special treatment? :):) Your lies won`t remain unrefuted, forget about it, if you hope I will get tired one day, you are so wrong. :):)

You don't care about facts or reality

Sorry, but it is getting tiring how you are constantly ascribing your own actions to other people. It is pathetic behaviour. Why are you doing it? Is it only personal, namely the hatred towards my person, or are you really paid for that? :):)

hence for less money they build/building more roads.

Unfortunately, you are spreading lies. PiS builds much less than the previous governments - they only continue old projects and practically ceased starting new ones.

How about doing some serious reading before you take voice on such topics? Or you do it on purpose? Kremlin trolling before elections again? :):)

I recommend a few articles. The title of one of them: Road failure. Why does PiS not build new roads? :

PiS politician, Wojciechowski, a candidate (failed) for agriculture commissioner, speaks in the EU. Extremely heavy accent and many mistakes but I always appreciate when adults learn to speak communicative English. Respect despite his funny views on agriculture problems.

youtu.be/AFFXb3P86m0

Comment:
Mr Wojciechowski - blabla talk may be enough in current Polish government, but in EU Parliament the level is much higher. Please live up to their standards or shut up. Otherwise you will come up as an idiot. Which actually happened.
