News / Poland Parliament elections in October 2011 [944]

I'm concern about something entirely different.
When the current system in Poland backfire and crumble, people would vote PiS as there is no alternative for said party on the political scene.

There should be another party more radical not that mushy-washy center with bizarre leader. Sometimes he seems to be saying all that stuff to asure that his party would not get too much support.

News / Poland Elections oct 2011/your feed back about RP Janusz Palikot? Poland is changing! [106]

Palikot was a businessman who made a fortune. He was, um, creative in getting his cash and I'll say no more.

Yep, he found wife with money and connections, and as soon as he secured his position he dumped her.
Why would you bring Palikot into equation at all? Priests are not businessmen and do not attempt to be.

I-S, they perform some extras, yes, but nothing that tricky.

Extras ? Dude you are clueless, they are working about 10 -12 h a day, sometimes more and their are on-call 24/7!
Now can you tell that about an average teacher - no.

In Scotland, churches come under the umbrella of national heritage and thus get money from the state for their upkeep. How much I don't know.

Well, that Scotland not Poland. Anyways that solution wouldn't work only for some churches in Poland. Some of those monies form the state are for upkeep of churches.

The RCC bring money into the equation.

What do you mean by that ?

What is needed in religion beyond a place of worship and belief? Geez, why do Poles have such a problem with this question. For crying out loud, what's so difficult about saying 'precious little more'?????

What do you need to teach expect for teacher and pupils? precious little more!What would be your point ?

JustyS knows what she's about

She is a stupid little ..... and let not talk about her anymore.

There is no ignorance at all. I take the bull by the horns and ask hard questions whilst Poles tend to duck and dodge, sweeping uncomfortable bits under the carpet.

My question is why are picking on the Church? You are not a Catholic, you said that if something works you let it be. Well, the Church in Poland works, need I say more?

There many things in Poland that do not work, focus on them.
To make it clear - you do not take a bull by the horns but you just ask general questions about the Church while you are clueless about details !

And you view of the Church is skewed by your background - basically you ask why the church is not more like Protestant Churches ?
Because!
As for uncomfortable bit you would have to come up with one first !Jocks about priests spending monies is not a serious question is it?

I-S, reality show stuff is tittle tattle and cheap thrills. I hope I ask serious questions and don't stoop that low. Your logic for me being prejudiced is flawed at best.

Maybe your intentions are good, but you know what they say in Poland about good intentions?
As for my logic, prejudiced or full of alien's preconceptions, same difference!:)

Palikot made his money from business transactions, by getting out there and building up his profile.

Really ?pry tell us how he made his money :)

Priests are just preachers which is just a form of teacher

They are not just a from of teacher, they preform many services which your teacher has not.

Why do you focus on minimum wage here? There is many teacher and many schools and do not try to convince me that all of them are getting the same money.

The same goes for priests, their income and accommodation differ.
Then again by public you mean run by the state I gather? Hows RCC is run by the state?
Then again I probably overestimated you.:)

Churches must come under national heritage and are thus catered for.

Please explain.

I just question why they feel the need to bring money into the equation

Who feel the need to bring money into equation?

If so, he has his church and his followers so what else does he need?

What else does he need ? What are you talking about ?

There is no prejudice on my part.

Either prejudice or ignorance about the subject.

JustysiaS

Please, .....I do not think much of her, and rightly so.

to slate the denomination per se, she just dislikes how many people stray from the word of God and abuse the whole set-up.

Well, thats a very noble sentiment but can you answer truly - how many ?and who is going to be a judge of that ?
Seems to me that your sentiment is a little like that that exist in a reality TV, you look for faults and failings(which undoubtedly are there)overlooking all good and great things because there boring.

So yes, your starting point is prejudiced.

Making a mockery of what, I-S?

Making a mockery of the clergy in a style than can only be described as the herd mentality style.

I'm obviously not going argue with fools, they can grumble for what its worth.
I take issue with you because you should know better.

We call that hypocrisy where I come from.

Well, what we have here is an unsuspected witness complex ?
You originate from a different denomination and culture,which the main feature is a prejudice towards Catholicism and a imprinted suspicion aimed at the RCC.

Somebody could call your position akin to hypocrisy !

Where are your valid points you would like to make? All you do is harp on about the herd mentality theme while making some insensitive cracks about priests and monies.

Thats a pitiful performance on your part, you can do better than that.

I respect peoples' rights to practise their faith, that's not in question. I just question the herd mentality and I have that right

You can question whatever you like but is not what you are doing here. In here you are making mockery in an unbecoming manner which I found disgraceful and disrespectful.

Plenty of Polish people like to grumble do not make much of it, and there is a shyt stirring policy of some newspapers aimed at Church.

Ironside:
Sure there is no reason to be unsatisfied with government other than being supporter of PiS, are you really saying that?

Sure.

So, if somebody is unsatisfied with governmental officer, with a new law, with standard of a health service and if there is few of those and they go protest on the street - they are PiS supporters and as such should be shot on sign.

Doesn't matter if in fact their are only concerned citizens without political affilaition. I this perfect world only PiS is a big bad monster and others who disagree with PO and its leader are perfect. I think USA or other countires with problems should hire them to solve it - whoosh - the dream team is on its way to help you

No wonder members of PO publicly and without shame are saying things like: że prezes jest "wielkim mężem stanu", "dotkniętym geniuszem", i nawet roczne dzieci po zobaczeniu go w telewizji długo jeszcze się uśmiechają.

That Tusk is a great statement, with touch of genius, and even toddlers seeing HIM on TV are smiling long after that.
Are we in Kazakhstan? And you so called Scot see nothing wrong with that eh?

Astronomy in Poland is actually quite strong, maybe not top 3 in the world but definitely at least top 15.

And they do.

Do they ?

So they shouldn't attack an opposition party?

They should attack nobody, they should find out facts about politicians and inform public about them.

The market decides

The marked decide shtye, the dudes in back seats decide and then sell it to the public ...

So which party do you think they should attack?

Theoretically in modern democracy media should provide information and scrutinize a party being in charge. Not attacking opposition for point out real and not so real fail of government. That is their job.

In practice of the bastardized version of democracy - its OK to attack any-party perceived by the PC brigade as not ours!
My Question (rhetorical )is that can be still called democracy?

There's plenty of 'media' who support PiS. If you don't like what one nespaper says, buy another.

Define plenty and define support!

But the Simpsons, if they lived here, would vote Palikot, in fact. :):):)

Nope they are too silly to vote somebody else than PO.

The amount of money that the RCC has extracted from Poland is astonishing.

Stop your lies and stop stirring shyte ....

an anybody remind of the four stages again? I believe that denial comes first, and acceptance comes last. It seems as though you haven't moved on from the first stage(:

Cantor definitely had Jewish origins. Jews in general have contributed so much, especially in physics.

I'm sure they are the smartest people on the planed but there are alway exceptions. Every now and then there is some retarded runt. Do not take it personally.
