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

Trzaskowski will be more natural option for them to vote for.

True. He may even steal some votes from the left considering how bad they are doing.

Kosianiak-Kamysz was on the rise and considered to be a Duda-eater...

I still believe in the end he would have the best chance in second round.

Hołownia stronghold is internet so doubt it

Travel / Pot in Poland for tourists [285]

I don't know if that counted against him.

I meant something personal. Like sleeping with the Police Chef's wife/husband etc

Haha lenka you sound so colloquial

Oh thank you my dear lady ;

waste of police time?

And resources. All people involved (the policeman, prosecutor and judge would have to have an axe to grind

Silly and often unjust prosecutions happen daily

True and they happen everywhere but a residue is not possession so in my opinion it's not within the law. And I can see that happening only if someone had a problem with that indiidual

I would expect to read about something so silly in the papers

And at least in my neck of the woods it's not a common practice

the police will send a pipe off for analysis to try and find a few micrograms of residue

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

You make it sound as if that all situation was clear cut and only PiS's greed is at fault.

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!

There is no, or ever was, more opportunistic political party in Polish parliament than PSL [

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

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.

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?

Bad?

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

prob one of the above would have happened in the 2000s with PO and oligarch mates in charge.

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?

Konfederacja has jumped from "non existent before Dec 2018" to 11 MEPS in the Polish parliament in 2019.

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.

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:

Not always we had a government which was defiant against the EU.

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

new government with a much prominent presence of Konfederacja in Polish parliament

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

Law / Poland's Inheritance Law Without Will [21]

are usually governed by the law of the country where they are located, so you have a chance to make a claim on the flat.

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

Life / What is Poland going to be like in the 2050s? [72]

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.

So I doubt anyone is paying. So it is being subsidized in this way due to some or other EU regulations.

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.

Such a mud slinging is appealing only to people whose wouldn't vote on Duda anyway.

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

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

should I go on ?

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

what gives you the right to tell your law abiding neighbor

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]

can be done with a knife that is one inch long.

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

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...
