Ah... the "if you dont like it get out" argument. I like to hear it from Poles the most, as they take the greatest offense when someone who is not Polish criticizes or complains about their country, and literally one minute later, in Polish, among their friends, "co za chujowy kraj".

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]
You should have a bit bigger knowledge of the world. The treatment of the Polish plane wreckage is not worse than it happens in the world. It is the same and it seems a regular procedure. We can complain or protest but nothing can be done about it now.
The remaining wreckage of the Boeing jumbo jet is stored about a mile from Tattershall, Lincolnshire, at Roger Windley's scrapyard, pending the conclusion of the American victims' civil case. (53°7′19.35″N 0°12′58.09″W)[156] The remains include the nose section of the Boeing 747, which is largely intact but was cut into several pieces to assist in removal from Tundergarth Hill.
19 years on and Lockerbie plane debris is rotting away in a scrapyard
This mass of twisted metal is the wreckage of Pan Am Flight 103 ? still lying abandoned in a scrapyard.
Quite why it is there, 19 years after the atrocity, is shrouded in mystery.
The remains, hidden away in rural Lincolnshire, include the twisted nose section of the Boeing 747 that became the most haunting image of the bombing.
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-490284/19-years-Lockerbie-plane-debris-rotting-away-scrapyard.html
I can say, the treatment is not so bad, compared to this:
GREEDY GHOUL OF LOCKERBIE
20 years to day after horror on Pan Am Flt 103 we nail creep flogging wreckage for £450 If there's a few hundred in it for me I'll sell cockpit gear It's a bit naughty. But I can offer you the emergency exit
Mangled wreckage from the Lockerbie outrage is being sold as sick memorabilia by one of the men who recovered it, The People can reveal.
The remains of Pan Am Flight 103 - blown out of the sky by a terrorist bomb 20 years ago today killing 270 - are being flogged off by greedy ghoul Simon Windley.
Callous Windley, 51, whose dad's scrap firm got the contract to recover the tragic debris and store it, is happy to sell sections of the shattered Boeing 747.
Boss Roger Windley, 74, who is unaware of his son's gruesome trade, is forbidden from disposing of the wreckage until the files on Britain's worst terrorist attack are closed.
But when a People undercover investigator approached Simon Windley last week he had no qualms about pocketing...
£250 for cockpit controls, a battered emergency door and a toilet.
£50 for a 4ft shard of the tailplane in blue-and-white Pan Am livery and two lifejackets.
£50 for a photo of the inside of the cockpit where the pilots died.
£100 for parts of two other nasty air crashes.
Afterwards Windley said casually: "If you want any more parts I am prepared to help you, for a fee obviously."
Relatives of the Lockerbie victims will be appalled - while police and air crash investigators will be alarmed that wreckage which could be vital in any new criminal investigation is disappearing.
Dr Jim Swire, whose daughter Flora, 24, died in the atrocity, yesterday branded Windley as "sick".
After a tip-off, a People investigator posing as a dealer acting on behalf of a collector approached Windley on Wednesday at his father's huge scrapyard at Tattershall near Boston, Lincs.
The firm specialises in salvaging air crashes and was hired by insurance giant Lloyds to retrieve the wreckage scattered for miles around the Scottish townof Lockerbie on that horrific night in 1988.
Windley, fitting out a caravanette next to a fenced-off zone holding the 325 tons of twisted Boeing metal, beckoned our man inside his workshop and whispered: "Give me your phone number. How big a bit do you want?"
He said he could not let our man take anything away as there were cameras around the yard. Instead he arranged for us to rendezvous with him away from the yard next day. He grinned: "If there's a couple of hundred quid I will get you something. It might be one or two little things."
When our investigator asked if he could find a piece with Pan Am on it, or something to identify it as the Lockerbie jet, he said: "That would be a bit naughty."
And he warned: "And it hasn't come from me. Say you found it in woods near to the crash site."
On Thursday, he sent a text saying: "Will a toilet and something else do. If so I will want £250."

Exactly. After the basic course, which starts in grade 4 of primary school from ancient history and finishes with WW1 1918 in last grade of junior high school, students of first year senior high school will learn history from 1918 to 2004. In years 2 and 3 they will face problem solving of historical issues, e.g., " Disputing Polish national Uprisings of 19 century."
My wife`s friend who teaches history at the Jagiellonian University and is completely politically neutral says the reform is very promising. The old system failed because young Poles didn`t want to learn history . :(:(:(:(:(

Guys, don`t be silly and don`t let be fooled by Ironside`s boolshit.
History lessons are going to remain at a previous number in all types of schools - primary, junior high, senior high. The only difference is that senior high school students, at the age of 16, are not going to start their course from the beginning, i.e., ancient times, repeating the same material again, like it used to be in the old system, but will continue the course from WW1 (the year 1918) where they finish in junior high now.
In this way, until they reach matura exams at the age of 19, they will have a greater chance to know more about the most recent history of Poland.
It was a paradox before that Polish students learnt more about Egyptian pyramids (lectured 3 times in 3 types of schools!!!) than martial law of 1981 in Poland.
The reform doesn`t reduce number of lessons, it only shifts the focus.
Those guys who went on hunger strike are PiS activists who got orders from Kaczyński to try to disrupt the education reform. Their task is to harm, not help, like everything what PiS is doing in this country.
Iron, do you really need to be as maniacally incompetent as they are? Are you ready to write any anti-Polish boolshit in order to damage the image of Poland? Isn`t it high time you spat into your own face instead of spitting on Poland?
Yuck!!!
Unfortunately, it is true. Usually 2, 3 people per group in senior high are really interested in history after doing the course in two previous types of schools. The rest`s interest in history had been killed. I saw it in all of my class units which I tutored so far.
Something had to be done about it.
We shall see if it helps.
But keeping the old system which proved worthless would be nonsense, anyway.

The reform doesn`t reduce number of lessons, it only shifts the focus.
Those guys who went on hunger strike are PiS activists who got orders from Kaczyński to try to disrupt the education reform. Their task is to harm, not help, like everything what PiS is doing in this country.
Iron, do you really need to be as maniacally incompetent as they are? Are you ready to write any anti-Polish boolshit in order to damage the image of Poland? Isn`t it high time you spat into your own face instead of spitting on Poland?
Yuck!!!
History here seems to be taught completely wrong. Every single student I've ever had here complains about their history lessons.
Unfortunately, it is true. Usually 2, 3 people per group in senior high are really interested in history after doing the course in two previous types of schools. The rest`s interest in history had been killed. I saw it in all of my class units which I tutored so far.
Something had to be done about it.
We shall see if it helps.
But keeping the old system which proved worthless would be nonsense, anyway.
