News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

convex
The airport is either closed, or it's opened.

so tell me please one thing, convex...
Why was it opened under no weather conditions?

Lets imagine
there are no conditions to land
1) you may land
2). you may crash

but you may try to land
you might either land or crash

So, let's try to land.... Hey ye!!!

there are conditions to land
1). land
2). do not land?

logical thinking is not my the best side...

MediaWatch
Why are people taking the Russian transcripts of the Polish plane crash as the gospel truth?

This is a great question.

Why did control tower warn Polish crew just twice (I heard it in news), if there were no conditions for "sitting" a plane ot the ground.

Did they realise that pilots didn't realise that there were no weather conditions to land? They were continuing landing.

just my two cents worth

Love / Inside polish women's psychology and mind [109]

Yes, but this isn't really a woman's argument, because it's equally risky for the man in this current climate.

Of course.

This is always a matter of a free choice and changable of unchangable circumstances.

Do you want to get inside Polish women's mind?
Wow...

So:
one reason of many, many others: a thought that men run away when hearing from his partner/wife/ "I want a baby"

simple answer, but very true imo

Life / Any good Polish films to watch? [110]

"Brzezina" - "A birchwood forest" (director: Andrzej Wajda)

"Panny z Wilka" ("The Maidens of Wilko") -nominated in 1980 to an Oscar
(cooperation of Polish and French production)

"Biała sukienka". I liked "A white dress" very much A light story about Polish catholic mentality but presented with a great sense of humour and distance.

News / Decoded talks inside Poland's president's plane are released in Internet [337]

I think that:
"I think this proves conclusively that it was human error, nothing else."
It was probably only a human error. But the error was maximized by plots of reasons, only one of them was outdated system of Polish pilots training.

Who will take responsibility for this human error?

History / Wespazjan Kochowski and the Polish messianism [10]

Mickiewicz, Slowacki and they're the ones (among others) I blame personally for all those grandiose ideas about us ;)

You should not to blame Słowacki.
He was against messianism poetry, what he has written in the introduction to the 3. volume of his "Poetry".

Two words for Kochowski?
"Golden freedom" for Polish people and Poland as an oasis of freedom surrounded by out-and-out monarchies.

Po polsku / Apel o pojednanie z Rosją [15]

Zastanawiam się po informacjach w dzisiejszych wieczornych "wiadomościach" czy (oby nie) nie miało to negatywnych skutków. Dawni rosyjscy dysydenci wystosowali list do Polaków z ktorego wynika, że nam jakoby nie zależałoby na wyjaśnieniu prawdy, ktora jest zawarta w czarnych skrzynkach samolotu - twierdzą, że Polakom zależy na pojednaniu, a nie na prawdzie. Wg byłych rosyjskich opozycjonistów Rosjanom nie chodzi o wyjaśnienie przyczyn katastrofy. Taka była konkluzja ich listu.

Bliskość z Rosją? Może tak...
Ale zrozumienie na tzw. wysokich szczeblach?...

Ponadto sugerowano w tym liście, że sytuacja związana z ostatnimi katastrofami może ( .....) odbić się niekorzystnie na polityce zagranicznej Polski.

Oby to wszystko nie rozeszło się po kościach. Oby Polacy trzymali rękę na pulsie...
Oby odpowiedzialni i mądrzy ludzie zajmowali się tą niezmiernie trudną obecną polską sytuacją polityczną.

News / 2010 Polish Presidential Election [39]

lesser
These days the only way how I find elections interesting is sociology, techniques of manipulations, etc.

?

Which one of the candidates has proper and wise ideas as well as skills to "make" Poland a better place to work and to be happy?

I will stand for a person who would be able to discuss in a constructive way and who has realistic view at my country and respect for people. A person who would make society to follow his ideas and intelligence.

A good candidate with a wise programme.

However, I'm afraid that Polish voters will follow unrealistic dreams, tradition, history and "importance" of catholic mentality again without bearing in mind how difficult the situation in Poland and EU has already became.

I will vote for positive dialogue and intelligent stategy for the next years...
Mentality of Polish sarmatism is today IMO obsolete.

Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [417]

Havok

sarcastic

I wanted to ask you, because I've noticed that some people have a negative attitute for being sarcastic. I like being it.Why don't you like sarcasm? Or is it just my opinion?

Sarcasm is a great treat. It causes healthy laugh.

tending to think that wounds/physical problems don't need a doctor’s attention until they pass out unconscious

This is in many cases true.
I don't understand why do people wait sometimes too long. Don't call it "tending to think please". I like thinking. Especially about going to a dentist.

compulsively competitive

Why compulsively?
I will add to your list sensitivity and fragility.

Life / What's wrong with you, Polish people - is it an inferiority complex? [123]

POLENGGGs
SO, why this inferiorkomplex?

Why did you think that we had inferiorcomplex?
I really thought you were better than russians, but you always try be something else. eg. two people I talked to telling me they town in German version when it was OStpreussen.

What do you mean? Are we like any other nationality? Just...we are other nationality? Or am I wrong. Can you specify?

Vetala
Polishforums may seem like a good place to discuss Poles but it's not a good place to talk WITH Poles.

Let's discuss. About what??? Inferiority complex of Poles based on...What? why do you think so?
I think that many older generarations have II World War in their memory as a very important heritage and a part of painful past we are proud of, especially older generations for whom it was a difficult time and fight for food and survival. (In short). Imagine: days without bread...

Days without good food...
Days when you can eat just bread.
People who are hungry. People who eat a "slice" of bread taken from the pavement.
And you are happy, that you found it...
Days that remind you that next day you may day...
and you are just 21.
would you like to fight?
Would you like to remember?
Would you like to fight "to the last drop of a blood"?
I would try for sure... if I lived those times.
to share with this found slice of bread next time with somebody who was more hungry that I was.
a bit of being pathethic. But I hope that you understood or imagined those situations.

Life / Polish "Mall Girl" Culture? [125]

Trevek
Culture has three main meanings, one of which is a shared system of practices and beliefs, behaviour etc. which are charcateristic of a particular group (and arguably maintain its identity).

It has.
1).Art and philosophy of life.
2). Particular society (or civilization) in relations to their beliefs and way of life.
3). The cultur of a particular group consists of a habits of the people in it, and the way they behave.
(from Collins dictionary)

These girls (and boys) presumably have their own codes of practice, slang, etc. Therefore it is possible to refer to it as a culture.

They behave in a particular way and they have habits. But I don't think they are "cultured".
again: "cultured": if you describe someone as cultured you mean they have good manners, are well educated, and know a lot about art

Maybe they are well educated though (I would study thanks to my sugardaddy).

Yeah, let's have a new pair of trousers. We will be very cultured (we will have good manners- how to walk in this model ), we will be well educated (next two hours with client and I would buy a new pair) and we will know a lot about art (fashion for example) - actually all night will allow me buy more expensive pair of trousers. Or next model of mobile (fourth or fifth one).

Gosh!!!
But why Polish "mall girls culture?"
No prostitution anywhere else?
Gosh, gosh, gosh...
Hate this thread.
Prostitution, sponsoring, mallgirls. Goooosh, don't make it Polish. Because its not polish!!!
Sponsoring is sponsoring. It doesn't have nationality.

Life / If I say POLAND, you say...? [100]

"If I say Poland you say...?"

I say:
freedom, humanity, belief, following tradition, idealism, dignity; values in general

respect for older people... we often forget about it

proud and a shame (in one - weird complilation); passionate minds and narrow horizons on the other hand

underestimated, often in their homeland, genial and heroic people who have ability to change course of events and history

exceptional personalities: pope John Paul II, cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, Lech Wałęsa, Leszek Kołakowski - a great philosopher, Tadeusz Różewicz, Zbigniew Herbert - poets, Janusz Głowacki - a director and multitude of others

wonderful theater and amazing, brilliant actors (Anna Dymna, Krystyna Janda, Aleksandra Śląska, Gustaw Holoubek, Tadeusz £omnicki, Andrzej Seweryn, Daniel Olbrychski, Olgierd £ukaszewicz, Aleksander Bardini, - impossible to call all of them...

and plenty other valuable people, events and things...
