News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

For those who understand Polish and are not able to watch TVP info, watch the above link. In the programs he basically states that he wanted to discuss his findings with experts in Poland but there were no takers.

One of them replied: I have no time for crap/boolshit.

PS. That Pospieszalski guy who runs the programme looks and sounds like a possessed maniac. That is my impression.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

1. Unfortunately I cannot find Mr. Artymowicz on University of Toronto Physics department professor list:
physics.utoronto.ca/people/membertypes?membertype_id=1
I got this: Your search for "artymowicz" has returned 0 results:

It is really mysterious because the guy writes this on his website:

I am a tenured full professor of Physics and Astroph. at the University of Toronto. I split my time between the Dept of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the St. George (downtown) campus, and Department of Physical and Env. Sciences of UTSC (U of T at Scarborough).

And I found this

Graduate Faculty
Full Members
Abraham, Roberto - BSc, DPhil (Associate Chair, Graduate)
Artymowicz, Pawel - MS, PhD


sgs.utoronto.ca/calendar/2011-12/programs/ast.htm

I am not sure what it really means.

In result, you have sown grains of suspicion in my mind.... :):):):)

Pawian, the author the article you quoted, tries very hard to discredit Binienda, but unfortunately he knows too little about engineering.

Yes, probably he tries too much.

So, here is another expert: prof. Artymowicz. He sounds more neutral. :):):)
In Polish.

In short: he calls Binienda`s findings unscientific.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

Dr. Wieslaw Binienda, an adviser to the parliamentary committee of Antoni Macierewicz, in TVP1 program: "Politics over coffee":

Boletus, someone has done research on that Binienda. He is neither a physicist nor a professor (according to Polish standards), nor NASA expert, as PiS claims.

kajetanskalski.salon24.pl/410242,brzoza-czy-lipa

He is bending facts like an amateur, not scientist.

Iron, do you have a younger brother or sister?

Sometimes I have an impression you gave away your password and allow them to take over for a night.....

The truth is that so far there wasn't Polish rapport about Smolensk crash.

And this English of them is really out of this world...

Don't be ridiculous in your case everything has to with believes, your believes ! You don't have even know what a proper scientific analysis look like.

Am I right?

You can believe tt was a 30cm twig that did it, took the win right off and flipped the plane over.

Actually, that 30 cm twig was a tree trunk.

Now I am beginning to like him. He is no longer presumptuous. He finally displays traits of a real resercher: SOME DOUBTS about his own work.

He realised that he had let PiS make a fool of him, so he started to back off.

Boletus, good research done.

Disaster-smaster. Disaster came only after they tried to dismantle liberum veto and stuff.

No, earlier.

Neither democracy (as I explained in earlier post) nor anarchy holds the answer

Neither the answer are all sorts of socialisms/communisms,

So?

That is the problem Polish people should work on:

Very funny. :):):):):)

The point is, Poland, instead of blindly following foreign patterns, we must strive to regain our Golden Freedom

I am against. History proved that Polish Golden Freedom was anarchy, in fact, and it ended with a disaster.

Pawian, if you have not grown up in Poland, you are not going to understand that.

The problem is that I perfectly understand it - you cherish certain romantic ideals which are fine when discussed, but in practice they would cause another disaster.

No, thank you.

Hey how about not having double standards and saying the same to Sobieski. I do not see him sourcing his information.

I won`t say it to Sobieski because that is what I learnt on my own.

However, I couldn`t locate any sources which prove your apparent claims. :):):):)

I use words like 'apparently' and 'from what I gather' as I am not arrogant and I do not falsely claim to state facts when I am not absolutely sure.

That is the favourite method of PiS leaders to suggest things which are untrue. They love using such words as "apparently" and "from what I gather."

there is no sense to argue now with representatives of the league of mental and/or moral midges on this forum.

I don`t mind being in that league. :):):):):

However, if I am a mental/moral midget, then you are a mental/moral plankton. :):):):):)

There will be soon( or soon enough) Polish report on the Smolensk crash !

You mean PiS report, of course.

PiS is not all Poland, never forget it.

Yes, such people also impress me. :):):):) Have you noticed that various kinds of trolls have become very active before EURO 2012? Does it mean Poland is getting on their nerves? :) Warszawette, I have time to deal with you now.

Unemployed Westerners who don`t need to go abroad. How true!

guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/08/ireland-migration-young-liverpool

Up to 75,000 Irish citizens are predicted to emigrate in 2012 - higher than the levels of the late 1980s. In a country with a population of 4.5 million, such shifts generate intense interest and the Irish Times has even created a Generation Emigration blog, with the headline styled up as a departure board.

They don`t need but they want and go.

The same with Poles - they don`t really need to go abroad, but they want. Poles are natural born travellers. Don`t you know that a Poles discovered America?

As far as I am concerned, Poland is for (the sake of) Poles, not Poles for Poland

Sorry, I am from the old school of Polish upbringing. So many patriots in my family (my grandpa was shot in an execution during WW2) are too an insurmountable burden.

PiS or Palikot, unless something new shows up. I am not fond of either, but there is not much to choose from. SLD is out of the question, since Belka and "his" tax, I consider them enemies, and PO just defined themselves as my enemies as well, since they decided that I should not live long enough to get the retirement.

You need to think it over. Currently your political preferences are in a mess.

kondzior: Palikot,Check how they voted on retainment age issue.

Exactly.

Another achievement of the Tusk government: subcontractors (mostly Polish firms) building motorways haven't received money for the job done,however contractors have been paid by gov i.e. Polish taxpayers already.

It is a problem that they are working on now.

Poland shall suffer a lot since banks (also involved in Greece) here are mainly western capital owned

Not quite.

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

You are unsatiable. :):):):)
Most Polish wives aren`t like that.

do Polish wives have special designated times, and other times that are not acceptable?

Yes, in my opinion they have. Polish wives are conservative and they prefer morning or evening, because during the day they are busy with work, children, cooking, housework etc.

Sorry but unemployed Westerners don't need to go abroad and at home they can live, eat and expect some results.

And please stop comparing France and Poland -

But it was you who started comparing. :):):):)

I am French and I can talk about my country.

To conclude instead of comparing oranges and apples, you need to compare Poland with similar countries (Czech Rep., Slovakia, Hungary....).

Yes, that is why you should give this thread a break for a while so that people from countries similar to Poland have their chance. :):):):):)

I assume that you are writing from the USA or Canada and therefore very far away from Europe:

No, I am writing from Poland, but according to you it is still very far away from Europe. :):):):) So, it doesn`t matter to you, I suppose, where I am writing from.

Will it be OK if I move to France and write from there? :):):)

I happen to live in Pl (not my choice, family reasons)

But I can`t refrain replying. :):

Besides, today is a new day. :) Co było a nie jest nie pisze się w rejestr - Passed things belong to the past.

but contrary to what happens in Poland, people in France receive decent money from State.

That is why France`s public debt is going to hit 87% GDP this year.

expatica.com/fr/news/french-news/french-public-debt-to-hit-87-of-gdp-in-2012-report_178293.html

Poland - 56.4% in 2011 and is going to drop to 53.7 in 2012.

wbj.pl/article-59059-polish-public-debt-growth-expected-to-be-at-record-low-this-year.html

So, your decent money from the State is simple borrowing from future generations. One may say that your children and grandchildren are sponsoring you.

Well, not a bad idea. After all, you put substantial effort and money into bringing them up. :)

Warszawette, in case you accused me of mobbing, let me show you that I am also able and ready to agree with you:

Poland is very far behind and probably shall always be.

I earnestly hope so!!

On the side note, seriously, people should get over the notion that they or anybody else is or can ever be impartial.

Exactly.

Only our PF mods are impartial.

Such trivial thing but still some don't get it i.e. Iron, but I'm not going to elaborate since he is now suspended.

Alli, you are a person of honour.

I always thought that he is a despicable person and politician.

I tended to forgive him all his previous pranks and antics because I believed he still controlled it. But the way he let the PiS-oriented reporter provoke him into such a silly reaction seriously tarnished his image in my eyes. He should allow an expert to see into his disturbed state of mind.

More or less the same I think about Stankiewicz.

Yes, she practises cheap journalism for simpletons.

To be honest, she is as maniacal as most PiS leaders/members:

PO always seemed to me like a patchy party with very different people in respect of their opinions, political platforms and culture. T

It is their great asset and a weakness, too. But more an asset, I suppose.

I will fight for it, and die if necessary, but I will not starve for it.

Eternal Polish dilemma:
Norwid said: Poles are a great nation, but hopeless society.

s

You have to remember that what you are describing is the present situation, but in 15-20 years time what is fact and reality now will be very different from today. Just to give you an illustration, compare Poland to how it looked like 20 years ago, and think how it will look like 20 years from now.

Well said.

Even people who hate PiS, Palikot and so on, intend to go to vote against PO. For whom we'll vote it is a secondary matter, at best.

Aliens?

Well actually it closer to 12% to be exact

Nope. "The Educated" will always stick to PO. :):):):)

Why?

Because they are intelligent. And they perfectly realise what PiS and other "uneducated" forces might do to Poland if they take power again, God forbid.

But how would you know, when all your knowlage about Poland comes from TV and newspapers...

You forgot magazines and the radio. :):):):)
