Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [103]

A giant herd of bisons runs at full gallop across the road for 1.20 minute. Amasing! The noise they make sounds so wonderful.

against imperial Russia

So far, there are 4 main parties` candidates (let`s drop this independence bs).
3 are anti-imperial-Russian while one, leader of nationalists, is pro. Fortunately, his chances are low - around 6%.

Try decades! :)

Such a delay was in mid 20th century. You are seriously delayed with your "knowledge" of contemporary Poland. :):):)

plummeted

BS. We don`t believe you. Ha!!!

Nothing has changed in female nature, has it?

Of course it has. At last, women aren`t afraid to speak openly about matters which once were taboo. And they know how to fight for their rights.

Poles abandoned it.

Stupid comment. We struggled to abolish communism.
It seems I praised you too early with this PRL experience.
Probably you aren`t an emigrant from communist Poland coz your knowledge of Polish is basic, like Milo`s.

Life / Polish women fight for their rights - manifa and other events [306]

everyone missed her 'heroic' role in history

Exactly! The patriarchal society prefered to press women into silence over the abuse by male relatives.

back in 2017, and she's pushing an outdated agenda

Exactly, darling! Poland`s location in Central Europe always makes us late to the West by a few years when it comes to new trends. Now it is the time for the Me too trend to flourish in Poland at last!!!!

no one takes seriously

You mean chauvinist males. Decent males do.

By playing the trick of an unknown "independent" candidate, they will try to attract swing voters.

PIS promoters are very optimistic about their candidate:

What are Nawrocki's strengths ? - First of all, he is not Czarnek , TarczyƄski or another PiS radical. We will emphasize his independence and civic spirit, because it is clear that Poles have had enough of partisanship and dream of someone new, fresh, and non-political - our PiS interlocutor enumerates. Nawrocki does not have such a large negative electorate as all PiS politicians who participated in the United Right government . The fact that he was not an MP and didn`t vote in the Sejm is also - according to PiS interlocutors - a plus.- The fact that he is unrecognizable paradoxically works in his favor. It is easier to build recognition and image from scratch than to change it by 180 degrees, and this is what Trzaskowski will probably try to do now - our PiS interlocutors point out .

There`s one thing I like him for. He is staunchly against imperial Russia. That is why Putinists put him on their wanted list.

As head of the Institute of National Remembrance, after Russia's attack on Ukraine, Nawrocki called for the removal of Soviet monuments in Poland, for which he was placed on the list of people from the West prosecuted by the Russian authorities. As he said in an interview for Interia in May this year, after his appeal, "46 out of 60 such objects were removed. This is a good result and a huge amount of work by the Institute of National Remembrance , appreciated by the authorities of the Russian Federation, which placed me on its list of wanted persons. This is the best assessment of how much our actions hurt Russia - said the president of the IPN in an interview with Interia .

chose their man who isn`t formally a member of the party.

It is amaSSing what PiS are doing with their "non party" candidate cos it means they are unable to put forward a member of PiS who would make it to the second round. All of PIS notable politicians enjoy a hugely negative reception in the society.
By playing the trick of an unknown "independent" candidate, they will try to attract swing voters.

However, their guy was involved in a serious scandal some time ago and it is natural it will be used against him in the campaign, with photos and videos.

'Don't Be a POlak,

Exactly!!! Be a Polka!!!! hahahaha It was decent Polish women who led to PiS` demise in the national ballot a year ago.

They will also lead to Mr Trzaskowski`s victory next year.

Isn`t it wonderful?????

Today rightist PiS is going to announce their candidate. They also think they are very clever coz they chose their man who isn`t formally a member of the party. He has been only working for them for long years. :):):) That is why the promoters are going to emphasise his "independence." hahaha buhahaha

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

to summarise their posts.

Yes, because I refuse to waste time on their useless doodle. ):):) Never mind, let`s talk about sth much more pleasant here.... ):):)

A water pipe burst in one of the toilets. I borrowed equipment from a friend of mine who explained everything to me and I did it myself. A piece of cake.

It meant cutting of the broken piece and replacing it with a new one using a special heater for plastic materials. Heated pipe endings are joined with a wider linking piece after you melt the plastic. It takes a minute.

Amasing technology! I still remember how plumbers struggled with fixing those metal pipes in the past and how long they spent on screwing all pieces together and insulating all the connections.

Who said that not????

Serbians are protectors

Not really. Many Serbians are handsome black eyed and black haired guys and Polish women appreciate such looks. But this entails zero protection. :):):)

I'm tired of all the arguments.

Exactly!!! Me, too. Tell it to hyenas who provoke them when they fall on the carcass of an already solved riddle to devour chunks of rotten meat from it. Yuk!!!!! I prefer those stinkers keep away. :):):)

this thread really will die a death

It will if I stop posting. But I am not going to. So, don`t worry about the thread and do as I said with what maf tells you and which I can`t read coz his posts don`t show up on my home comp.

Life / Polish women fight for their rights - manifa and other events [306]

Patrycja Volny, the daughter of the iconic anticommunist opposition singer and poet Jacek Kaczmarski has just published a book about her father. She reveals extremely negative behaviours of him towards herself and her mother. Kaczmarski, addicted to alcohol, is described as an obsessive abuser and even molester. At one moment, mother and daughter had to leave their home and seek shelter in an institution protecting women from family abuse. It happened in 1980s while the family were staying in Australia.

The scandal is double. Firstly, the book and its content ruin the monumental status of Kaczmarski as a legendary bard of the anticommunist opposition. His songs really contributed to the collapse of communism in this part of Europe. I still remember how I recorded his concert aired in FREE EUROPE RADIO in mid 1980s. The quality was terrible coz communists suppressed the signal but it didn`t matter. Later I listened to that concert many times.

Secondly, the scandal concerns people who tried to silence Patrycja Volny and make her stop working on the book. She complains they refused to accept the suffering under her father`s boot as sth important and worth dealing with. She was supposed to shut up so that the legend could live on.

they only hunt for fun, without eating their prey.

Hmmm, I can`t be so sure coz today I saw feathers scattered all over the ground in the tortoise enclosure and the carcass was missing. Not even the head or legs which are inedible. It might have been a cat. Or another predator.
