News / Achievements of the Tusk's Polish government [538]

I will not be reading the whole thread to find out you views

I just don't want to repeat myself.

Were you among those scared during the PiS lead coalition rule?

Yes,I was.Not at the beginning but later.I was scared what's their next idea.

are you against the idea of school uniforms???

I think this issue is not as important as some ppl believe.Polish education has more serious problems.

So because you cannot hold your liquor, no one is allowed?

No.Because of the fact that human biology works in certain way.Your friend is a moron and a danger to others.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

reminder of the eastern bloc?

No,because it's simply wrong.Poland is Central European country.I don't care if someone's calling Poland Eastern Europe as much as other posters here but it's simply not right.We are not Western or Eastern European country.Poland is mixture of these cultures.

P.S.Edited.
When someone reffers to Eastern Europe it usually has dregatory hint in it.As is the only valuable culture is in Western Europe.In the same manner some Europeans say words like "African","Asian".

I must say I'm really impressed with your arguments.You're close to making me change my mind.
And now for real.
Kondzior if you want ppl to care about ideas and freedom you need to secure they basic needs.Of corse ppl that have problems in life will be more interested in having food and shelter that freedom.You won't feed your children with freedom.

I still remember as if it were yesterday, how surprised I was when a nurse arrived at my wife's door 2 days after deleivering our baby.

They still does that.

I have realized I pity Homo Sapiens because he is born with damaged goods.

May be since we are not just homo sapiens we are homo sapiens sapiens but that concept evidently didn't stick to you in school?Stop insulting other posters and try to discuss.Who knows?Maybe you're going to find something interesting in exercising your brain?

There were good things in socialist Poland and we shouldn't reject everything just because it was created in that period.

Actually that part is the same.There were always children that went hungry to school and meals in school cantines look the same.At least in my town.

Nothing was better under communism.

More kindergardens and nurseries.More FREE after school activities.Corporation's holidays.Material safety.
I'm not saying that socialist times were good but there were good things about it.

Love / What are the best love poems in Polish to receive? [77]

I like this one:
Rozmowa liryczna
- Powiedz mi, jak mnie kochasz.

- Powiem.

- Więc?

- Kocham Cię w słońcu. I przy blasku świec.

Kocham Cię w kapeluszu i w berecie.

W wielkim wietrze na szosie i na koncercie.

W bzach i w brzozach, i w malinach, i w klonach.

I gdy śpisz. I gdy pracujesz skupiona.

I gdy jajko roztłukujesz ładnie -

nawet wtedy, gdy ci łyżka spadnie.

W taksówce. I w samochodzie. Bez wyjątku.

I na końcu ulicy. I na początku.

I gdy włosy grzebieniem rozdzielisz.

W niebezpieczeństwie. I na karuzeli.

W morzu. W górach. W kaloszach. I boso.

Dzisiaj. Wczoraj. I jutro. Dniem i nocą.

I wiosną, kiedy jaskółka przylata.

- A latem jak mnie kochasz?

- Jak treść lata.

- A jesienią, gdy chmurki i humorki?

- Nawet wtedy, gdy gubisz parasolki.

- A gdy zima posrebrzy ramy okien?

- Zimą kocham Cię jak wesoły ogień.

Blisko przy Twoim sercu. Koło niego.

A za oknami śnieg. Wrony na śniegu.

Poetic conversation

- Tell me how much you love me.
- I will.
- Well then?
- I love you in the sunlight. And in the candlelight.
I love you wearing a hat and a beret.
On a concert, in a sharp wind and on a highway.
Love you among lilys and birches, raspberries and maple.
And while you are asleep or working more than ample.
Even when while breaking an egg you drop your spoon -
it is anyway true that I love you.
In a taxi, in a car. Beyond all dispute.
At the beginning and at the end of a route.
And when you are styling your hair with a comb or a slide.
In danger. And on a merry-go-round ride.
By the sea. In the mountains. In boots. And barefoot.
Today. Yesterday. And tomorrow. Days and nights.
And in the spring with the first swallow.
- And in the summer what your love means?
- The same as means the summer.
- And in the autumn, cloudy and moody?
- It means all to me even when you lose your brolly.
- And when the frost silvers the windows?
- Then my love is as hot as fire.
I am close to your heart. Always nearby.
And there is snow behind the windows. And there are crows.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

Doesnt make it not antiquated and unhygienic though. ;)

I was getting ready to writte something like "what the hell are you talking about" when I spoted that you used semicolon.
The only thing that I hate in the fact that they eat it is that when my mother boils them whole house stinks.When she's already cooking them they smell real nice thought.

Food / 'Wigilia', the traditional Christmas Eve supper in Poland [77]

1-mushroom soup
2-barszcz/beetroot soup
And then all other dishes.You eat it when you like it.I usually start with the dishes I don't like (in my family you must try everything) and then eat my favourite dishes.

News / Poland's PiS = suspicion & fear? [70]

monopoly in media

With so many idealogically different sources we hardly have a monopoly.Add to that internet and you have wide range of informations.

parliamentary commission

Parliamentary commisions are a joke.Always were.

I think that system in Poland should be overthrown!

Thankfuly it's not your decision to make.But out of curiosity-what would you use in replacement?What's your ideal system and whatppl would you use?

News / Poland's PiS = suspicion & fear? [70]

if so then fighting for political power sometimes is a direct fight with corrupt systems,

In this manner yes but creating administration to fight with corruption when in fact it's a tool to get more power is as sick as corruption itself.

but the same people are in power!

I knew you'd say that.But even if we assume the same ppl are in charge today's Poland is not PRL.If you ask anybody(missing PRL or otherwise) they would tell you that it's not the same in 90%.

Well that sounds good but what it actually means? If you are saying that PiS was doing something illegal and wrong in that regard you shoudl bring on some examples!

Look at my answer to Gumishu.

News / Poland's PiS = suspicion & fear? [70]

Political reasons? Do you claim there is no corruption in Poland?

In every country you have corruption but fighting with corruption shouldn't be treated as a tool to gain political power

You mean by stepping out of line?

No,by making enemies from our friends(or at least neutral).

See there is something I don't understand you said that the most important is to keep PiS put of power and yet you do not vote PO - it doesn't sound quite right!

I don't have to vote for PO in order to keep PiS from power.If voices are devided parties have to join their efforts and the party I'm voting for is not going to ally with PiS.

Exactly my point!

They finally had enough.

Ah you are ideological ally of Harry! Well ...

How did you make such assumption?This "Well" sounds protectional and I never treated you in this way.

What rules?

Laws their created and atmosphear in which they ruled.

If you are happy in PRL-bis then there is nothing I can say!

PRL-bis?Really?It's the weirdest expression I ever heard.In what manner today's Poland has enything to do with PRL?From what I read you don't live in Poland.Have you ever lived here?

News / Poland's PiS = suspicion & fear? [70]

Yes, after they are in the cell not in their own place!

Every second since they arrested someone.Place doesn't matter.If they've followed safety rules none of it would have happen.But these are the consequences of creating and using such forces "na kolanie"(on a knee-fast and not to neatly.) and for political reasons.

So ? Do you care? Poland has the right to the Independent policy!PiS wasn't doing anything bad, all has been used to Poland sucking up to them - so they didn't like when she stopped!

This is the excuse of every person that doesn't have friends-It's not that I'm mean and stupid
just ppl doesn't understand me and are jelaus of me.PiS made a mess from international relationships.

Are you kidding me? They sow *****, they were following media and were incited by others means as well! Anyway it wasn't that common!

It's a wonder then that they never did it in the past.It was the only time teenagers protested Minister of Education.

He just put some measures to prevent teachers being intimidated and humiliated by their pupils! That was step in the right direction!

It depends on the teacher.How come there are teachers that never have a problem with discipline.And even if he was doing good job with that(and I don't think so) it was overshadowed by his other ideas that screwed things up.

If you see PiS not being in power as the main reason for your vote

I already told you that I vote everytime.PiS has nothing to do with it.If you're refering to these words:

Because I remember their style,the mess,the accusation and all the other things I tried to avoid by voting.

then yes.When I vote I try to choose ppl that are wise and responsible and by that keep lunatics away from the power.

unless you have some arguments other than - their are bad they made a mess and all that generalizations imprinted by the media!

I already gave you many arguments.But there is one good enough for me-I lived here when PiS was in charge,I had to follow their rules and I felt bad in my own country (besides many times Mr Kaczyński excluded me from being a real Pole in his speeches).And I wasn't the only one.The elections after their "5 minutes of fame" showed that many Poles thought the same.

No they job was to arrest her and they failed by giving her VIP treatment!

When police arrest someone that person is under their care and police is responsible for that person.Why in this case the rules should be different?

And as tp the Vip person-everyone has the right to go to bathroom they just didn't follow basic safety rules.
If that's not incompetence then I don't know what is.

they do submit to political pressure

So they are not credible.

Germany using press to influence politics in Poland!

Also The Netherlands,UK and France.

Why?

Because I remember their style,the mess,the accusation and all the other things I tried to avoid by voting.

Maybe our views differ! I think that Polish education is going to the dogs!

You just stated that during Giertych's rule it was going ti the right direction.

I was being sarcastic,because demonstrations in democracy are something normal but inciting pupils to take part in the political campaign is dirty!

And teenagers were following Tusk order?Why should they?They were protesting because they saw what was going on.

Well, if that all you understand from politics then I do not think that your views matters!

What this has to do with my understanding?I meant that I may complain about politics but never in the way: "Oh my,PO made a mess,some other party made a mess I wish PiS was in power again"When someone beats you you're not giving him a chance to hit you again.

How come you post about 100 posts a year!

I have a life?
