Off-Topic / Coup in South Korea [44]

As far as I remember, S Koreans were treated in a similar way in 1980s. I can recall those protests and street fights against the regime covered extensively on Polish communist TV with the subliminal message - look, our country ruled by general`s junta isn `t so bad after all. :):):)

This coup will fail. In the same way, PiS` coup would have failed if our rightists had tried to implement it. Democracy has gone too far to be abolished so easily.

Nice. We couldn`t drop cards due to the lack of them and had to economise on sweets which at times were rationed like during Jaruzelski`s regime rule in 1980s. Instead, we focused on the Eve supper which was our private business and the regimes were unable to meddle into it. :):):)

Amassing! Now I understand his propensity for Kremlin thugs.


Witnesses interviewed by the investigating journalist claim that PiS` candidate helped pimps by acting as an intermediary in contacts between clients and prostitutes. His contacts with them namely criminals are still active today.


The mysterious report "Karol Nawrocki and his circle. Analysis of image threats in the context of the possible candidacy of the IPN president in the 2025 presidential elections", probably prepared by PiS activists from Gdańsk who are hostile towards Nawrocki, leaves no doubt about it: Nawrocki's compromising accounts will not be "passed off" as "random photos" and will incriminate him as a candidate. Let us quote the key statement of the report on this topic: "Nawrocki's position is indefensible. It will not be possible to close this topic with a narrative about random acquaintances and random photos". Does Kaczyński think that the topic can be closed after all?


Which one is the sentenced pimping gangster and which one is PiS` candidate???? Guess!

Why??????????

Karol Nawrocki worked as a security guard aka bouncer in the seaside city of Sopot clubs during his uni days. It was then that he made many acquaintances with people from the underworld. Nawrocki has maintened close contacts with some of them to this day. "According to our information, the study on this subject reached Jarosław Kaczyński quite early on, when Nawrocki was one of the candidates, but not yet the favorite.

It is so amassing they nominated him that it becomes simply amusing.

The MEPs read individual fragments of the report. They include such figures as Olgierd L., Grzegorz H. and "Big Bu" - men connected to the criminal world and pimps, whose biography was supposedly very well known to Nawrocki. This is evidenced by contacts on social media and mutual acquaintances and a group of 200 to 300 people confirming this fact.

Moreover, as an employee of the Institute of National Remembrance and director of the Museum of the Second World War, he didn`t oppose the presence of "thugs from motorcycle gangs and people openly tattooed with swastikas" during patriotic events.

The documentary shows several photos of Karol Nawrocki together, including with "Big Boo". "It's hard to believe that Nawrocki had no idea about his criminal involvements. It takes a few seconds on the internet to find out about them," quoted Michał Szczerba .The President of the Institute of National Remembrance is also alleged to have had links with the criminal organisation "Bad Company" , and was also alleged to have founded, together with the aforementioned men, the "Lions of the North" supporter group , which brought together people from the criminal world.

I wonder how long it will take PiS to replace their current candidate with another one. Rough guess - 3 months.

Mems are storming the net. Here is one of the decent ones:

Gawker - sorry, on second thoughts I need to improve this translation. In the context of the whole song, Polish gapciu means a clumsy person.
So - clumsy - coz he doesn`t know how to take her to Heaven and back in bed.

Nobody guessed my riddles so now let me explain them:


Usually said to your opponent when dealing roughly with them without going into details.


It means a refusal to do what other people want/expect you to. Even when requests are involved. The image assigned to the idiom features a bare ass shown to others while you are in bending position.


In direct translation dawać radę means gives advice but as an idiom - to manage to do sth.


This can wait a little. :):):)

The scandal was PiS candidate`s close contacts with neo nazists, kidnappers, drug dealers and pimps.

Quite an interesting report surfaced two days ago - it had been written for internal use in PiS party but leaked to the media. All the candidate`s suspicious activities are described in it. Yet, Chairman Kaczyński nominated him. Strange.

PiS` rivals on the political stage mock that dubious candidacy saying:

This alone should mean that not the report, but the candidate should end up in the dustbin of history - he said.
According to him, "the point is that we don't wake up in a Poland where the day after the president's election three buses will arrive: one with pimps, another with people who sold drugs, and the third with PiS politicians, and they will all want to be pardoned, because that's what it comes down to ."

I find it so amassing that apart from being thieves and frauds, PiS politicians add drugs, pimping and kidnapping to their favourite activities.

Life / Wish to settle down, which country to choose - Poland or Russia? [126]

Can Poles/Polesses take to Russians who are so different when it comes to character?? Poles/Polesses are optimistic people who strongly believe they are powerful and determined enough to successfully change the reality around them, especially when they don`t accept it. Polish risings are a good example.
While Russians are natural born pessimists and they never believe they can have even a minor impact on anything. It is called Russian fatalism - let`s leave it like that coz all efforts to improve the situation are futile in a country like Russia.

A nice interview with a Russian dissident who comments on Putin and his war and Russians who have been either bought or intimidated by the regime so they will never rise.

First of all, Russians are not in the habit of rebelling. Since the revolution of 1917 and then 1991, the authorities have done a lot to teach Russians not to rebel. We have a powerful police force and super-powerful special services penetrating every sphere of social and religious life. Every religious organization or political group is infiltrated by provocateurs and informers who denounce participants in even the slightest attempt at a conspiracy. They frame their own colleagues, denounce them, and then they are either imprisoned or, in many cases, secretly killed.

Nobody trusts anyone, so you can't even conspire, because there is always a fear that your co-conspirator will betray you, frame you, and report you to the special services. Another thing is that people believe that it will do no good. That nothing will be effective. Thus, we have a situation in which no one dares to do anything. Everyone falls into a paranoia of fear, and on the other hand, every action seems futile and useless. Who will dare to oppose it?

I have been thinking of it for a few days coz sth seemed wrong in my concept but I couldn`t realise what exactly. The Irish went to church and met their neighbours etc there like us, yet they also sent cards as Atch claims.

Eventually I found out why cards aren`t so popular here - we had a long break in true Christmas cards availability during communism. They weren`t produced by state enterprises and if some were, they contained the neutral motives of Santa Claus etc.
Before WW2 cards had been very popular.


But the Irish are similar to Poles/Polesses, yet they sent their cards. It must be this communist heritage.

It seems that the negative comments referred not so much to her breast feeding but to wearing full make up in the act. Commenters suggested that a typical Polish mother doesn`t have time to take care of herself while taking care of the baby so her claims she always looked like that while breastfeeding were false!!!!

It only shows that Polish males have a long way to go to reach the expectations of their female partners.

If Polish males don`t come to their senses at last, Poland will have to invite millions of immigrants to sustain the nation. Amasing!!!!

Polish women don`t care if it is universal or not. They only want to enjoy their rights. Simple.


Sad but true. Years ago I volunteered for the disabled kid family group in our local church. There were about 20 families who we cared for. I remember it like today that I was struck with the view of only one male aka father aka husband who stuck to his wife as well as to his completely incapacitated daughter on the wheelchair. All other families consisted of the mother and her disabled teenage/adult child.
PS. I still keep in touch with my "assigned" family. Two disabled sons have died and it is the mother who we regularly invite to spend time with us and I go to her place to do minor repairs.

Certain actress has published a photo of her breast feeding the baby. Some comments were negative. Strange.
A few days ago, Zofia Zborowska posted a rather bold photo on her Instagram. The actress decided to show her followers how she feeds her youngest daughter while revealing a bit of her body. Unfortunately, the photo did not meet with a warm response from Internet users. A real storm broke out in the comments under the post! It did not take long for Zborowska to respond... The star did not mince her words!
