Travel / Any Anglican churches in Poland? [35]

Who cares? Not to be offensive to any churchgoers out there but those are mostly irrelevant denominations. Heretics used to be so mighty but now they are reduced to unimportant folklore.

Only some places in the US and the RCC are still going somewhat.

News / Good news: Poland's PiS to rule at least 12 years -- Morawiecki [91]

about the price of bread

Who asked him and why? What kind of bread and where? From a bakery from a market? In a city or a small town in the south or the east? What does it matter anyway? Gov doesn't regulate bread prices and that is good.

News / Poland highest inflation in 20 years [319]

All the voters should concentrate on one thing mainly - economy

Nah, should focus on the state organization and its workings. It should be a framework that would allow the economy to blossom due to the creativity and industry of its citizens. A state should protect from outside and inside interference in that process and ensure a level playing field for all involved.

All the parties in Poland are great at promoting secondary issues and avoiding the real problems.

That is true to some extent.
On the other hand, parties outside Poland do that too.
As to LGBT and other issues, it is a cultural wave of liberal democracy and after that comes to those nations and countries that are not powerful enough just before or after economical subjugation known as a new form of colonialism.

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [455]

That`s a piece of cake compared to PIS` lies.

tsk tsk, nobody can beat Tusk when it comes to con and lies he is a master.

Both are creepy in their own way.

You sound like a creep too. I'm not judging.

hy would he sacrifice making millions

Suspicious. As he doesn't really add any value or a new, fresh approach to politics in Poland.

The problem with PiS

Nah the problem with voter base in Poland rather. they focus on people, slogans, silly issues, and parties rather than see what issues and what organization and system need to change, improved or abolished altogether to make it state an efficient machine with checks and balances and a great place to be for its citizens.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

Decent Poles are grateful.

I would say, morons at best. Decent my foot. Dumb rabble and traitors.

the EU is simply asking their member states to respect their own Constitutions.

They can ask their grampa for what I care.
They have no right to ask for anything of that kind and on top of it, they have no right to stop founds.
Polish gov should cancel their participation in this program, stop paying into the EU and tell them to get a grip and bugger off.

By the way outside of everything else that Constitution should be disrespected and better still scraped.

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [455]

it's old news I know, but...

Well, so what?
I mean is he a problem? Yes, I know that people like him are the problem but he doesn't stand alone. The crux of the matter is the system in Poland that allows such people to rise to prominence. He should be a con man in Gdansk, that should be the height of his career.

The same goes for many people in PiS.
Morawiecki should be selling postcards in a post office.
J Kaczynski a mayor of some middle saiced town.
Many others from PO or SLD should be still in prison ending their 20 or 30 years long sentence.
So stop bringing up some simple lies or inconsistencies - Tusk is not in charge, he doesn't f up Polish business as PiS does.

Are you and Ironside really that clueless?

Look, you don't know the first thing about the issue. I don't know anything about it either. at least I ask questions. You know it all without knowing anything at all. That is my point. Don't jump to conclusions.

Why do Poles even have a country then?

Why not? Are they are any goldern standards to adhere to for a state to justify its existence? There are many countries that are F up much more than Poland. Geez ... coming from a fellow whose citizens fought a huge civil war.

So why was he appointed a prosecutor

Why? Because since round table con Polish state is in state of F up. all kinds of F ups are there and not much work that well. PiS is not an exception here.

It is funny like people are spewing that crap. Do you claim that before PiS they were OK and all was working fine?
If you do you are full of S!

This is too funn

You are being cluelessly idiotic. Snide remarks from the sideline are not that wise. What does PiS have to do with it?
The question is why this wried act and why now. What's up and so on.
You - hahaha you see PiS, Ziobro - that moronic unless you are a teen.

I guess clowns paid by the taxpayers to be the opposition to the PiS are showing their value and worth by clowning at the border running about with a plastic bag full of grocery shopping, Looks like a moron (Filip z konopi)sound like a moron and act like a moron. Hey but that OK he is not from PiS.

Are you all F up in the head people?

News / Poland hopes to attract hard-working, trouble-free immigarnts - Ukrainian, Belarusians and Vietnamese [139]

no risk at all of a 2015-like situation.

Oh really? That is your opinion. What IF you are wrong? Would you be willing to bet on it? Your life, life of your wife, your kid, your property? If not one of the above who are you to bet the life of others on some whimsical fleeting feelings.

Adolf Eichmann

You are all over the place and you don't make much sense. What does it all have to do with anything? Children or not that is not Poland's concern. If you are that concerned there are plenty of children that would need a good home be it in Poland be in somewhere else. Those particular children that came to your attention due to mass media coverage have their parents to take care of them, the same ones who put them into this situation.

I think some order and reason should be used as well as prioritizing.

are children as young as 3 years old,

Why would I care about some children more than their own parents? Those people do not care about their children, they can always make more, Same with women, a woman is worth less than a docky in some of those countries.

They think people in Europe are suckers and they want to take advantage of it.
do you really want to let in a person who would put in a harm way his own kid and his woman? What more is not a big deal for him. How much less would such person care about women or children of some strangers?

run away to a better, safer life,

Define safer and define better. so far those are people who can afford to pay lots of money to get where they are.
They are not serving beggers as some like to think. If they are safer in a country of their choosing than in their own country or Belarus - I don't know and you don't either.

The fact remains that their presents will put at risk the safety of citizens of a country they want to go to and in the process, they would make Poland a less safer country. I don't think it is a fair trade-off. I think is lofty and cheap sentimentalism in the guise of humantarism. People who support it are irresponsible fools with no sense whatsoever.

Over one million people - that's a scale unheard of before in Europe - left Poland in the 1980s.

Well, they were kicked out for the most part either directly or indirectly by the Soviet Regime. If they were in Poland in 1989 that con at the round table wouldn't be that successful. They were not illegal they were political refugees.

By the way, those Poles went to Europe, Canada, and the USA. Legally and openly. To countries that were near and that are culturally compatible.

Those people from Syria, Iraq, and Afganistan are from Asia and 99% of them are not that compatible with European culture.

Today majority of Poles think that they don't owe anything to anybody.

Quite right.

Just an idea.

Hair-brained idea. That makes no sense and would solve nothing.
Quite the opposite much more people would be transferred to the border.
the best option is to build a proper wall and let in no one apart from those who would use proper channels.

You would shoot kids too?

Why are you obsessing about imaginary kids? Are you claiming some moral superiority? I refuse to talk about important issues on this level.
Borders are there for a reason and if someone chooses to attempt to illegally cross it if he gets shot that on him. It pertains to children too, that on their parents.

It illegal immigration those people are taking chances. Why would I feel sorry for them?

Would you like to get shot for getting into the US illegally?

Nobody would like it. That is not the point. If they would have shot at me I wouldn't blame them. Even though I'm a better American than 50% of the US population. Breaking the law is a crime and criminals oft get that i.e. being shot at. lol

Poland is a civilized country and border guards don't shoot at people who are fleeing wa

A civilized country executes its laws. Crossing illegally is a crime, those people should be stopped at all costs. A civilized country defends its citizen and residents first and foremost.

If you don't even notice context and focus on some humanitarian BS that lefties and morons are peddling in the media. Get a grip!

Russians are on our border. Biden lost his mind and abandoned Afagnistant in this hasty manner as well as all Eastern Europe. Putin owns Lukashenko now, something I have warned against years ago. Ukraine is next.

Poland is to be F with as well as EU. He will try to destabilize the region even more and break the EU up. A part of that plan is encouraging all kinds of chancers and fools to illegally migrate into the EU.

People like you are the worst. If you worry about their safety tell them to go back and not to commit crimes on foreign soil.

maybe iron

Look dude go to the USA illegally, it's easy enough, commit some crime it easy enough even for a moron like you, claim to be a woman and they will send you to a female prison. Just don't let yourself be deported again you wuss.

Even a moron like you can get some female convict to f you.

Stick to the topic please

the border guards should be shooting at kids, even though you wouldn't be able to do that yourself.

Why kids? Would parents send their children first across the border as a kind of live mine detectors? If that is the case why would anybody feel obliged to even lift a finger to help such people? they belong in their own culture.

Secondly, IF I was a border guard that would be a part of my job description and I would have most definitely shoot at those who wouldn't heed the warning shots not to cross.

Hence I'm not one of them that is no issue. I wonder why would you bring such nonsense to the table?
