Travel / Pot in Poland for tourists [285]


That is interesting. As far as I was aware smoking pot wasn't illegal. Possession is. So residue would be useless

They are the ones in power for Pete's sake! Who is at fault if not them? They knew from the beginning there is no support for postal elections yet they pushed with all their might. They made all the preparation on the cost of Polish taxpayer.

And after all that they have the cheek to tell the public that it's a secret! Iron, seriously,you cannot defend that!


True, but it will do you no good to mix the party with the individual.

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

We can do but one- you don't post any arguments and two you were responding to my post about something different trying very hard not to address the points I made. If you want my opinion Kosiniak-Kamysz seems to be the best candidate atm although his wife is extremely annoying imo.

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

Yawn...The same nonsense over and over again..
Don't you think it's quite pathetic if your only line of defense is 'they did the same '? For Pete's sake, we are not in kindergarten. ..

Can you please explain what opposition candidates have to do with PoS not saying how much this mess cost?

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

Yes if they have control over it as PiS had with the election. Any more pointing fingers somewhere else while the topic of this discussion is nicely ignored?

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


Like messing up the election crisis and even better- not telling the public how much that mess cost them.

And it's quite funny to always blame opposition. PiS is in power for quite few years now and I think it's time for them to realise that being in charge means you are the one responsible when people don't like what is happening. And guess what? People didn't like this election mess

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


Yyyy, no.

And I love how every time PiS does something bad it's 'but PO...' Grow up.

Any defence from the PiS supporters here why the public shouldn't know how much they spend on those failed elections?

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

I'm surprised no one else mentioned it already but...
In what normal country, after fiasco like this election , the amount spend by the government is a secret? How can we be told that it's a market secret?

Can PiS become even more ridiculous?

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


Even I they doubled their support it would be around SLD which is (sadly for me :) ) hardly a major player.
And as you know yourself this presidential elections are hardly representative. The situation on the country is too weird.

If PiS collapses ( which probably will happen at some point, after the death of Kaczynski at the latest ) and Konfederacja plays smart they might gain but in my opinion it's their only option.

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

If that was the case they could leave the EU and have their beloved death penalty. The problem for you is that that is not the case which is shown here:


Those were chosen by Polish people so it seems that is what was ok with them


LOL Do you seriously believe that will happen? They will jump from 'barely visible' to 'major player' in few years?

Law / Poland's citizenship by descent question. Polish great-great grandfather arrived in the USA as a kid. [76]


More the feeling that they are not Polish...And being used for the passport to be free to live and work in EU

If that is the case the OP has more than a chance and for a bigger part. The mother's part and 'zachowek' after father as you can't completely disinherit a kid by a simple will in Poland

Parents with kids maybe but people will still be moving more towards the cities, especially the young ones. More to do, easier to meet with people

Hmmm, I don't think she will have a big impact but it is true a lot of people are annoyed that she is so mute.Even Maria Kaczyńska took a stand few times.

When it comes to the First Lady/Gentelmen Hołownia wins hands down. His wife is a freaking jet pilot :)
Bosak's one is a liability to more moderate electorate as she works for Ordo Luris.

While the spouse of the president is not the one in office they do represent the country so people tend to take them into account.

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


That was always a problem. Yet previously TVP managed to even put some money aside for rainy days. That surplus is gone, loans are taken and now this. And that is outside of the normal government subsidy. So if you want to stick to your 'everyone would do the same' go ahead but it doesn't have a lot to do with reality.

The thing is- it's not about TVP getting government's money. It's about financial disaster in running it while being so politically biased at the same time.


Have to agree with that. Plus I think things like that give him an image of 'swój chłop' appealing to part of the electorate.

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

The employees and Solidarnosc were begging for that law to be signed. Apparently the TV finances are that bad. And that is the same institution that had budged surplus...

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


No, it's quite enough showing the difference between a knife and a gun. Thank you for making my case for me.
Btw- I wasn't the one who brought up the guns into this conversation


I don't stop them. They are free to apply for a permit according to the rules of the country they live in. As to what those laws are (for example in Poland) is decided by the society. If gun lovers manage to get enough people on their side and change the law I will have to accept it and live with it.

The funny thing is that while I believe US gun laws are stupid I leave you to it. It effects me only in the way that I know I would never move there. Yet Americans on this board seem obssesed about changing the minds of citizens and the laws in countries the never even visited...It's not like Poles started campain 'let's take the guns away from Americans' it's just that we have no desire to follow your, quite scary, example.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Wouldn't be very comfortable in use not to mention that it would require changing tools in a process that only needs one.

So shooting genius-what other use did you find for the guns? I'm all ears (or eyes if we are being literal

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

For my dinner I was slicing the tomato and made small cuts with the pointy tip so the blade goes in nicely. For lunch I was preparing chicken and was removing 'błony' and traces of blood with the tip as well as cutting out oczka (black spots) from potatoes. Enough or do you need more?

Btw- why fixate on the pointy top? The knife is dangerous all around...

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


You don't cook do you?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Every day when I'm preparing meals?
I guess you can do a lot of useful things with your gun too if you are creative enough. Hammering? Throwing it into a basket....

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


Neither.
But Duda is no better. It's not like they are standing against some great statesman .


His lead is not that big so who knows? He might win he may not. The fact is he is in harder situation as he has to defend his position.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


And you think it's normal that someone has to make a school a gun free zone?

The fact is that I have been on this forum for quite a while now and it was always the same merry-go-round. I was always told to wait and see because real soon people will demand the guns etc. Well, it's been 10 years already- anyone has any estimation or shall I forget ir for my life time :)

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


It's easier when you do not support either side :) Besides my views are so far from PiS that I do not have to distinguish myself from them with such things. PO and PiS have the problem that they more or less share core beliefs. PSL too of course but they have the advantage of never actually being in position of power plus the benefit of being outside of that PO-PiS duel


I never said she's smart. And such comment won't hurt them too much in PiS voters eyes and the undecided probably won't notice. All in all while a proof that PiS attracts certain type of people I don't think it will do much.


Let's make few things clear: all this is not PO but Gazeta Wyborcza stories. While GW might be on the side of PO it still is not the party's or campaign body. Supporters like Pawian may well take pleasure in it, after all their oponent just showed what stupid people they have around.


And? It's still a possibility she was defending herself... I doubt it but it's an option. I'm surprised anyone would care enough about 'voting silence' to get into 'szarpanina' over it.

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


That is funny but even funnier is that PSL seem to think they have to cut out the winner (and his much bigger number) to make it look more impressive for their candidate


Oh yes, I'm shaking so much I can't hold my phone :D On second hand it might be the laughter

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


Oh my, now we are all scared...:)
Try and see who cares.


And yet left got twice that...
I wouldn't celebrate just yet Spike. Big plus for Konfederacja at the moment is of course that they will get their subsidy soon and that should allow the party to pay it's way for a bit. If it won't be able to substantially increase their support than I doubt they ever will.


To be fair Bosak criticized it but the problem is he is invisible.

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


Hey, that is not fair, I didn't know you are a comedian...;)


I didn't report on that because I didn't make my mind up. I'm not sure I trust either side. She however added comical element to it by talking about her 'little son' (15 at the time) and asking Kidawa-Blońska to condemn Gazeta Wyborcza (what she has to do with it? The only comment could be 'I have no idea what happened at the time so I cannot judge')

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


And what does it say that he tried 4 times and never finished? Again, even if we forget intelligence it reflects badly on his character. Especially since he is not a free spirit art person but theoretically a conservative candidate for a president.


Well, my whole point was that he is invisible at the moment.
Of course it may change but judging by the situation right now people will forget he is even a candidate.

Btw, just read that Konfederacja wasn't granted a loan for the campaign. Of course explained as the hostility towards the party. Anyway, they are still talking to some smaller banks and count on some donations.

Meanwhile Kosiniak-Kamysz is talking about 1000+ for students now...Smells of populism....

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


Ultimately he has a high school diploma. He might be smart but educated is a stretch. Not finishing even one of his courses says something if not about his intelligence than about his character.


That ultimately takes him out of the race then...A candidate with such tiny support has no chance without making a big presence.


Would matter if I followed it. I don't. So that is not the factor. The thing is all the other candidates are reported to do stuff (scandals, signatures etc.) Bosak nothing since the wedding. If it carries on people won't even know he's running let alone vote for him.
