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


In my soap opera they showed how a women-still not proven guilty-had the oppurtunity (under CBA watch) to commit suicide.


I already told that it was political tool and many historians stated that IPN historians are not credible.


Communicating?It was rather yelling at their opponents.It was for show not information.


That's a wonder then that when I met a guy from Holland the first question (when we started more serious topics) was "What's going on in Poland?"


And I thought it was because Poland was in political mess.


As I said I was studying pedagogic at that time and had family members attending to every level of education.Believe me-I knew what was going on.And appropriate examples you can find above in my earlier post.


Actualy it was Giertych who told the teenagers that they will face consequences.

And I don't complain although I never voted for PO.I definately prefer today's political reality.

Yeah,it's better to mess with everything without real knowledge and plan.Amnesty,kids with expanded matura couldn't take basic tests but their results were assumed by how they did on expanded tests and so on.He did everything to ruin education.


Maybe but that doesn't change the fact that the real scaring they did all by themselfs.I was scared when I thought what they can do next.


I don't want to talk specific person.IPN was used as a threat and by many ppl was viewed as a political tool.
Basically I was really happy when all this came to an end.I was sick of explaining to foreigners what's going on in Poland and feeling ashamed for all this mess.And after all Poles decided.They showed what they think about this government.This was the only good thing-they stimulated many ppl.

No,not media,by the governments ideas.
CBA,IPN,constatnt accusations,3 press conferences a day.Teenagers protesting,Giertych stupid ideas,almost daily humiliation in international circles.

P.S.I must admit I was shocked to see who started this thread.It was a nice suprise.Good job Polonius! :)

I can say one thing:


really suits them.
When PiS ruled the government was suspicious and ppl were scared.
I know I and my friends were scared for our future.

It's the same thing just done by other means.And actually it's not women because it may lead to severe blood loss.

The 72 hours pill doesn't allow the egg to "stic" in uterus.The second one makes women's body to get rid of already nested egg.

There're some herbs that women can use to do the same thing with available products.

If in formal situations you say do widzenia.
If you're talking with friends you say na razie.
This poster's friends told him he speaks too formally.And I gave him words that can make his language more casual.

The casual form of "do widzenia" is "na razie" as well as "cześć".

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


How did I insult you?You're the one who uses expressions like "primitive" or "how they really are"


Yes,we borrow some words but that doesn't mean we should change the words that have been used for a long time


Agreed but who is to decide?You?


This shows great openess.


I do feel respect for other cultures I just don't like the way you think the respect should be shown

It's gettin so frustrating.Many ppl are trying to explain it but you refuse to listen.Just give it a break if you don't want to learn anything.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


It's interesting how you skipped the part in which I told you that Indyjski is absolutely incorrect due to Polish grammar.

One more time you skipped important information.
Let's get one thing clear-you think our language is primitive and so be it.Just give us the right to decide what's right for us.We like our language and want it to be the way it is.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]


That wouldn't be racist at all :D Indyjski refers only to THINGS.Yeah,that would be great.


Here goes oversensitvity-rodowity means native and why should we necessarily use that.After all I don't ask ppl to call me Native Caucasian or Native European.


Yes you can but you would add Kanadyjscy,Amerykańscy.
As to colours-I'm not an expert in that but pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_kolor%C3%B3w

Oh,excuse me.I fought that this was easy.
Listen,of course there are different skin tones but with the colour of the skin there are some basic rules.Yes it connected with race and with some biological differences but either way human race recognises few skin colours.

Black person,Afro-American,Murzyn-person with high melanin level
White,Coucasian-person with low melanin level
Asians -moderate melanin level.
There is nothing more to add.Maybe you should tell us how you express this differences?Or maybe you're pretending these diferences don't exist?

Hindusi-ppl from India
Indianie-native Americans
Aborygeni-Aborigens(native ppl of different continents mosly used in term of native Australians

Work / Hi, I am Indian and will be shifting to Poland (diploma in Mechanical engineering) [47]

It's a big city so I think you should find some job but study Polish.After all you'll have to talk to people and since you're not just relocating to the different branch office you might need some Polish.
