And then you talk about the hostility of atheists toward Catholics...Incredible

History / Saint Virgin Mary Queen of Poland crushes the Red Army [66]


It's not about explaining but about belief. Personally I don't believe in any intervention and scarily I'm on Rich's side.


And that is actually very offensive to any patriotic Pole that is not Christian.

Food / Which foods are generally disliked/unpopular in Poland? Which non-Polish foods are slowly gaining popularity? [140]

@Mad
I think Hungarian would be my choosing from the ones listed ( after Polish of course :P ). Makes me hungry just thinking about it. Have to make myself some Leczo :)

Is that why they stopped the judge who wanted to look at them from doing so and suspended him ?
There of course is the possibility that those lists are ok but how PiS is going around it suggests otherwise. Not to mention that it sets a dangerous precedence. Think if the worst party you can imagine gets the power and uses the same tactic? Would you be happy with that?

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]

A newspaper had to dig them out and you see nothing wrong with that for example? We are not talking about a state secret. It should be freely available to anyone who want to see them.

As to the judges I think the topic was discussed mamy times. PO played dirty and then PiS instead of just correcting it played even dirtier.

As with the Supreme Court it seem most Poles support the SC with over 50%

They have to if the government is braking the law. The government cannot do certain things. And as I shown part of judging such bills falls under the Supreme Court prerogative.

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

All candidates are in the first round. Now if any candidate gets over 50% there is only one (happened only once so far). Otherwise 2 candidates with the best score go to a second round and the winnner becomes the president

@Iron
Sąd Najwyższy działa na podstawie Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej i ustawy o Sądzie Najwyższym[1]. Nie należy on do sądownictwa powszechnego

Jest on powołany do:
6 opiniowania ustaw i innych aktów normatywnych na podstawie których orzekają i funkcjonują sądy, a także innych ustaw w zakresie, w jakim uzna to za celowe;

Rough summary- The Supreme Court is funded to judge acts and bills that impact the way courts are functioning

You mean in person? No.
But I did see a live interview and it was kind of yawn...
I'm not saying he is a bad person, not intelligent or anything like that (even if too conservative for my taste) just simply that he was completely uninteresting and easy to forget.


Yyy, wouldn't say so...

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]


No, that is rule of law. That is what those institutions have been set up to do. And it's their job to rule whether something was legal or not! There's been many, many times when acts/bills were rulled unlawful.

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

Sorry Torq but Kamysz is too bland and lacks any charisma IMO to compete properly. The description looks lovely but the man himself is... boring. At least that's the impression I got from an interview.

The most likely outcome is Duda vs Kidawa- Błońska in second round

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]


Wow- when and how did that happen?

You do realise we are basically talking the whole Supreme Court here?

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

We will see soon enough but judging by parliamentary elections left has more support than Konfederacja. It might be affected as obviously presidential elections are different but will Bosak manage to close the gap of almost double the support?

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

Oh my God Iron, aren't you tired youself of all this soviets, traitors etc? For ages now one can skip your posts simply because they are like a chorus in a song.

I said that about the number of votes based on the fact that left had much bigger support in the last elections than Konfederacja.

Hard to tell Pawian. I'm a lefie so I would look more towards Zandberg and Nowicka but I would have to observe them more closely

@Iron
Don't be surprised if Biedron will get more votes than Bosak

Here it's hard for me to judge but the prettiest ones I've met were usually mixed with other nations and ethnicities. They can be stunning though

I don't see any candidate that would really catch my attention but frankly speaking anyone has to be better than Duduś

I must say it's the same with me. German people were actually the nicest from all the foreign people I encountered.

And others know they will be better off independent... Someone's family preferences are not really an argument to either side.
As to which side would win...hard to tell but somehow I don't think they will leave the union
