News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]


rubbish, that's a far fetched generalising. Most of these people were offsprings or not even alive during WW2. And you are completely delusional in the communist part. Hungry troll is hungry?

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

They should put all of these protesters on crosses, let them go to their favourite Lech..

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]


Firstly it's the workplace of the president, an international and representative symbol of presidential power - it's not a place for a group of crazed old lunatics to burn candles and pray daily. If after every death of a gov official or a well known person a cross was erected and left there to be it'd be pretty hard to move around the city streets. The cross was supposed to be there just for the mourning.

Besides the cross belongs to the scouts who planned on moving it to a church nearby.
It is used as a weapon in political squables. And if it stays it would become a memorial of a passed mediocre president at best, who was declined by most of the country folk during his reigns.

History / Is there any part of Polish history that's at least a bit glorious? [192]


I was talking about the ones that were historically meaningful.


As in, I'd like to see Harry speaking about any positive polish moment in history.

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

PIS voters and Radio Maryja listeners can't cope with their candidates defeat in the election hence all the booing, and I'm really not gonna be amazed when somebody finally gets beaten or even killed by those crazy people. You can see them lot popping out in the news everywhere - in the court during the case over the validity of the election and during the uprising festivities. All shouting "jews" and "masons". It's frightning that there are actually such people somewhere..

Food / Wanna buy Spiritus Krakow [28]

Life / Yard waste / plastic burning - is such typical behaviour in Poland legal? [30]

Just because you are unlucky to have such a neighbour it doesn't mean it's a standard for all Poland. Haven't seen any garbage burning anywhere in Poland for years. Not informing the authorities is being not right in the head.

Genealogy / Need help locating FRACKOWSKI family... [8]

Do you mean "Frąckowski"?
couldn't see anyone with a - but with a polish letter "ą" there are more surnames.
Here is a map of this surname's usage in Poland: moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/fr%25C4%2585ckowski.html

Language / The correct usage for the word "since" [5]

It should be odkąd - when you are talking about the time. fi:
Since he came so much has happaned (...)
Odkąd przyjechałem tyle się wydarzyło...

And in places where you could change it to because - it can be ponieważ.
Since you asked politely then I will tell you (...)
Ponieważ grzecznie spytałeś powiem ci...

At least that's how I see it, might be wrong though ; o

Food / Types of CHEESE in Poland [150]


heh it's good you left some ;) I'm still trying to get there but I'm usually nowhere near when I'm in Gliwice. I'm discovering many polish "fake" cheddar products recently though.. yeag cheddar is fat, unfortunately - it's a nasty whim when one is trying to have a protein diet and a fair bit of gym. And when I buy one I often end up eating all of it in one go ;)

Polonia / Going to Paris for 10 days, any hints? [14]


I've been in Paris once for 2 days with a polish pigrimage ;) We were residing in the cheapest hotel ( called Formula 1 ) in a really bad district - all panel buildings there had their base floor burnt and burnt car wrecks laying everywhere.. I haven't seen much of Paris then because I was small and we were mostly sitting in Churches ;) This time I've got accomodation in one of the centre zones, near all the sightseeing places so I'm focusing on the centre really...

Thanks for the advice though :)


this sounds really nice, have to add it to my map and thanks for the link.

Study / Is ERASMUS students in Poland allowed to go to another student´s dormitories? [13]

You first of all you should contact your uni - probably the person who's the erzamus supervisor there. Beside that usually there are message boards in the uni building with information about flats for rent. Beside that - you can just try to find flat using flat/house renting sites ( independently from the uni ) - that's usually how people find flats in Poland when they are going to the uni that isn't near their home town.

Unfortunately all of these sites for instance oferty.net are in Polish so you'd probably need somebody to translate all the offers for you. Basicaly try to find the flat that is closest to the UNI you're gonna attend to.

The site I pasted earlier is just as any other flat rental site.. just in polish ;)

As for the main topic - I'm pretty sure that most dormitories will allow you to enter you just need to leave your students id card at the reception desk.

Food / Buying alcohol, wine in Poland. It's very difficult. [79]

Oh.. wines.. good memories - this one was really popular in my secondary scool:

good old plastic cap.. it was pretty expensive for a cheap wine - 4.5zł..

News / Will Komorowski be Poland's worst ever president? [72]

well, 50 years is pretty much never.. I'm not really amazed by the difference, I mean it's hard to imagine same wage in 2 different countries with a huge difference in wealth.

If TPSA wasn't French or if we were not in the EU these wages wouldn't be equal anyways..

News / Komorowski won Poland's presidency vote? [125]


He would have had the victory in his pocket if Lech was still alive - PIS was sure Tusk's gonna be the candidate so their whole election plan was aiming against Tusk. After PIS's gov their support was on a dawnward spiral and if Lech were to be the candidate he would loose. The amount of votes they have gathered is all thanks to Lechs death, churches support and inability of Komorowski to run a proper campaign ( being a president, a marshal and a candidate at the same time )

News / Will Komorowski be Poland's worst ever president? [72]


It was Tusk's minister Rostowski who cut spendings decreasing the effects of the crisis, it was a good decision opposite to what PIS proposed that could increase the country's budget deficit..

This document was the plan of anti-crisis work created by PIS basicaly most of it is just further spending:

who exactly are you talking about? dumb masses voted on Kaczynski, and "K." is a pretty vague abrev when 2 candidates surnames begin that latter..

Sorry Seanus, my bad - you were talking about the relationship between M and P, and I though mistakingly that you are refering to the Smolensk catastrophy, supposed Russian meddling in it and in the polish election. I jumped to conclusions before digesting your post. Sorry.

I personally think that Putin is the real driver of the country and Medvedev is but a decoy, a face that is a bit more human..

All right I guess I can't say anything against conspiracy theories can I? But Kaczynscy had their own communist affiliation - lets remember Magdalenka for all the conspiracy fans.

News / Komorowski won Poland's presidency vote? [125]

Same as it was during Lech presidency - Jarosław was pulling all the strings, and that's how it usually is in countries where both prime minister and president are from the same parties and prime minister holds most of the power. Bleeting about it won't change the fact that every gov does it. Congrats for masters of the obvious.

Very bad points Polityka
Wrong public TV belonged and still belongs to PIS...
beside they had a strong support from catholic Church..

Komorowski won't be a great president but he won't be bad.
