News / 100 days of Komorowski presidency [41]

The reforms can't happen yet, PO are going to really hurt a lot of people in the short term -

Yeah I know but something IS beginning to move with KRUS and early retirements for public service officers (służby mundurowe?) which are imho 2 very important matters. KRUS has always been a hot potato for every gov, amusingly it is supposedly against constitution and was brought to light by a PIS guy some time ago, and now PO will have to do something about it...

I'm waiting for all the reforms that should be on their way. Sadly, nothing will happen - ever or until PO winning another election. This stagnation is still better than what it could have been under pis..

Life / Class system in Poland - does it exist? [90]

The problem doesn't exist anymore, but I remember the stories told by my grandparents too, about someone who had a noble surname and part of his family refused to come to his wedding with a commoner ;o.

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

Typical foreigner who's living in Poland but will never understand Poland becuase he isn't one of us.

You can't comprehend the simple fact that there are people who know and care about all the other people who died in the crash. And you can't look deep enough to notice that it is all about politics and not Lech having or not having his cross. Of course this knowledge does't bereave us of the right to take sights in the shallow "cross, praying and singing" squabble. But those who understand these simple facts are able to notice that PIS is loosing big time focusing on the whole cross battle and showing the angry face to the society. Most people are ashamed about the whole situation about how the church and the gov are not reacting - and as far as I know - that's not siding with Tusk/Kommie. Of course in PIS pseudo communist slogans it is.

It's hard for me to understand how someone who has seen fair bit of the world, lived in a wealthy country comes up with such ideas, siding with radio maryja and pis, world is really falling on its sorry face I guess.

Moreover Seanus you are denying yourself, and it's not the first time you're doing it, first you say load of different stuff about religion about how the cross is there and should be there and why and then you say it's all about Lech and Tusk. Make up your mind.

I'm gonna have a long drive to the mountains now so rethink whatever you wanna post.

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

Its obvious its to commemorate the former president.

I know - but that's what I meant - it's for "all" victims.. you know ALL of them.. bollocks.

First of all, the cross is property of the scouts, was brought there separately from the crazed group of fanatics who claimed the possesion of it. Beside the gov said to move the cross and them standing against that order is to stand against the democracy.

Of course Seanus for you it's always gonna be Poland focusing on Lech or whatever. I'm not amazed I guess you just can't look deeper.

Law doesn't work backwards, you should know that, hence there's not gonna be any territory change in any way, be it someone giving back stolen territory to Poland or Poland giving back any territory.

wtf it has to do with this discussion??

agreed, that's Seanus having a derailing stroke from time to time for you

no way they already got Wawel castle. Stio with all thys honors. he doesnt deserve for that.

let's hope they are gonna move the petty politician someday

The cross was there for all the Smolensk victims not only Lech, maybe some of them weren't even catholic, so saying that Lech was catholic and that's why he's gotta cross there is a bit off the track.

There's gonna be a memorial sign.

Travel / Tri-city travel (want to see Gdansk and Sopot) [10]

Hi, Gdynia is mostly about walking, and not many museums to see. The one worth checking is the Navy Museum ( Skwe Kościuszki 12) and associated with it is the ORP "Błyskawica" destroyer (supposedly the oldest pre-ww2 destroyer in the world) it is in the marina - port area near the museum. Next to it is one of the big polish sailing ships "Dar Pomorza" and if I remember correctly it is possible to do some on board sightseeing. I doubt you'll have time for walking around Gdynia taking into consideration you wanna see Gdańsk and Sopot too, but the place for strolling around in Gdynia is the "wzgórze Św Wawrzyńca" ( Saint Wawrzyniec Hill ) with many paths and a viewpoint at the top - but don't go there at night, there's a lot drunk youth around at night. As for eating - if you want quality for the buck I'd recommend going to Anker Pizzeria (ul. Piłsudskiego 50) although I wouldn't recommend eating anything beside pizza there. I have no idea about the more pricey restaurants. Most foreigners meet and drink in "The Dockers" pub - it is in the Gemini Shopping and Cinema centre near the marina. It's a quite ok place, and I've noticed that foreigners find it really easy to pick up girls there...

I don't know about Gdańsk and Sopot much though beside the basics - Gdańsk - if you are gonna be in Gdańsk between 31.07-22.08.2010 there's the St. Dominics fair - it has got pros and cons, pros - a lot of nice things to buy, lot of stalls everywhere and a nice mood (if it's not pouring rain), the con is that there's LOADS of people and it really makes strolling around the old city so much more difficult and exasperating - and you need to be careful of pickpocketers. As for the old city, it's basically a huge place and there are many old buildings and museums in it. Probably the old "Żuraw" crane is a must visit place... and many more, but I don't know Gdańsk that well ;o

Sopot is all about the main street and the pier..

If you are gonna be living in Gdynia I'd suggest leaving your car in your place and commuting by the tri-city rail (it's called SKM ) because it might be hard to drive through Gdańsk and park a car there for a first-time visitor. Another positive thing is that you can have a beer or two in a pub in Gdańsk..

Have a nice stay in tri-city

Life / Polish authors, books & literature. [94]

Ludwik Stomma - "Polskie Złudzenia Narodowe" ( Polish National Delusion ), a great read and an interesting view of Polish history myths. I'd recommend this book to harry, because imo he is looking in the wrong place... anyways I dunno if there's an english edition.. I'm gonna post an abstract of this book someday ;o

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

It's obvious that those who spend Sunday sleeping off and nursing a hangover after a big Saturday night booze-up are morally superior to those who go to Sunday mass.

The problem is many of those church goers go to the closest monopolowy for a bottle of cheap wine just after the mass.
up yours

Quite! I wonder who's behind it all?

Dunno, they've said that police and gov didn't intervene during the cross defence because they've got scared of the "god's hand"... but I wouldn't be amazed these people had a direct backup from PIS or RM..

Love / How do we know that Polish guys really serious in their relationship? [16]

I'd say you can't be sure of this relationship until you meet him face to face. If you guys are serious or if he is serious you should plan a meeting for instance him coming to your country on vacation, holidays or something like that...

If you guys don't live close to each other then it's probably gonna be tough.. anyways you need to meet him and then think about a "relationship"..

Life / Why is cheating at schools in Poland accepted?! [155]

Cheating everywhere will never cease to exist as long as there will be bad schooling systems and people of different idiosyncrasies. It's never "supposedly" accepted.
