If you bothered to read the KRTV papers you would've known that it is NOT only business. They are supposed to
ensure that different point of views have access. It's called media plurality or something like that. Currently 100% of media
on multiplex is pro goverment...

Also, which one it is? It's "Rydzyk's empire" in which case obviously they have enough money to operate and should be

given licenese unless for politics.... or they are an unfunded poor strugling TV station, in which case they are no threat and
should be given license based on plurality...

Ooops, sorry, I forgot you want to have it both ways. It's just like with your famous tolerance that applies to one side only.

Life / Why are Polish so conservative and religious? [240]


I don't know if fact that only about 150-300 thousand Jews were assimilated in II RP can support your statement
unless you believe in one nation/two languages theory.
Anyway it is an absolute truth that in Polish history we had a number of great Polish Jews, even Mickiewicz in
Pan Tadeusz wrote about Jankiel that "stary zyd Polske kochal".

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]


Answer:

enjoying it after the treaty of St. Petersburg, January 26, 1797, declared

"to abolish everything which could revive the memory of the existence of the Kingdom of Poland, now that the annulment of this body politic has been effected…the high contracting parties are agreed and undertake never to include in their titles…the name or designation of the Kingdom of Poland, which shall remain suppressed as from the present and forever…"

but I am sure he thinks that it was legal, proper and just.

To this day Russians, Germans and Jews believe they have legal rights to properties in Poland, which were confiscated from Polish owners during partitions and uprisings and given or sold for nothing to them. The victors' justice... I guess we have only ourselves to blame.

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]

No, I do not belong to some ancient group living there... as much as I know :-)
As far as I am concerned you can claim the property of your ancestors, I'd only ask for it to be conditioned
on assigning the same rights to Polish people who lost their property due to partitions and world wars.

Of course then a question would arise, if there were no known survivors would some Polish organization
be allowed to have a claim, or better yet a summary payment for all properties.

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]

That's a powerful argument, but surely it's not based on 'I say so' standard, right? Can you cite some case law or treaty, or something else

to back up this 'living memory' limit?

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]


Yes, there must be a cut off, but my common sense tells me that in Polish history the partitions had such significant importance that they warrant an exception. I think this exception should also apply to native Americans and black people in the US. Otherwise it is hard/impossible to talk about justice.These things should be decided summarily

by a special UN congress.

Says you.

My question, if he is nobody, who are the government experts running away and hiding like rats (sick, busy, unavailable)?
Less than nobodies?

How difficult it would be to send just one expert and prove this 'nobody' wrong?

Any volunteers?

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [853]


I am sure he will meet with the prosecutors. I think right now they want to ensure that the meeting will be with technical experts.

Regarding input, he said he used many ranges of inputs since he didn't have the actual aircraft data. So insted of him providing input

data, shouldn't the officials provide measurements he asked for? In the official document it says the tree was 30-40 cm. Why didn't they

actually measure the tree and provide actual data (something like 35.5 cm)? Whatever you want to say about professor Binienda (and dont
hide behind "he is not professor in polish standards") he is not running away but presenting his data to Polish and international scientists.

He is just an expert that wants to present and validate his theory.

1. Unfortunately I cannot find Mr. Artymowicz on University of Toronto Physics department professor list:
physics.utoronto.ca/people/membertypes?membertype_id=1
I got this: Your search for "artymowicz" has returned 0 results:
2. anybody who speeks Polish and English can easlily see that Mr. Artymowicz is not an everyday English speaker (his Polish says it).
3. his reaction to an offer to invite prof. Binienda and other international experts (to basically de-politicize the investigation) as well his participation
in such body, is very shady. I believe any scientist would be enthusiastic towards discussion with other experts. Instead he proposes to assembly
another body controlled by the government (experts from Polish Accademy of Science).

Nice try though.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [853]


And what do you want to prove with this response from a 'scientist' asked to defend his research in front of another scientist?
You still want to contest prof. Binienda credentials? Pleeeease.


I may say the same thing about you, and you about me and it only means that we are mean and nothing else.

I do have a problem with Pospieszalski though, and it is that this guy let's his guests get away with crap, does not pressure them.

For example when calling government experts he should had said "I am such and such from TV station, making a program (not programme)
about Smolensk tragedy, I'd like to invite to this program Mr such and such. And that's it, when they refused, he should restate what they said

and add that Polish public has a right to hear from experts in such an important matter. Instead he was too emotional, kind of begging

them to come. But we cannot complain as he is the only guy representing national interests on all official TV stations. Other stations/programs
reduced themselves to attacking opposition and defending government. Nice freedom of speach we have in poland, don't we?
In addition the government is trying to shot down the only TV station that does not subscribe to official propaganda, TV Trwam.

Life / Catholic "Telewizja Trwam" from Poland - your thoughts? [98]

Ironside


100% true.

Regarding TW Trwam the government made a mockery out of court. I really expected them to make peace before national holiday/great
event that EURO will be. They just proved that their life depends on shotting down TW Trwam, they absolutely cannot coexist with
one TV station not running their official propaganda. They just lost any legitymacy they may have still had. This can be only compared to
situation in 1981 when communist government claiming to be 'working people government' imposed martial law against trade union composed
of 10 million working people.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [853]


I did find out what the deal with the Prosecutor Office is, it is actually very smart. According to Polish law a person that is interviewed

by a Prosecutor becomes an official 'witness' in a case and as such he/she is not permitted to talk to anyone about the case anymore until

the end of case.
Not even to say what questions the Prosecutor asked. So they can ask, 'how was your day Mr. Binienda?' , 'enjoying your stay in Poland?' and

'I think that would be it, we thank you for coming'. It's basically a perfect way to shut up anybody, totally legal.

To avoid it, the parlamentary commission said that they (the prosecutors) could interview prof. Binienda, ask any questions they wanted,
but within framework of a parlamentary hearing, not an official prosecutor interview.

So here is the answer why prof. Binienda is 'running away' from prosecutors, I believe that's exactly what he should do to.


Wow, Wow, Wow. Do you really want us to believe that modeling real, physical, earthy (how else to describe to you the things that
we can touch) material response to different stresses has anything to do with ET (extra terriestial) body movements and processes?
I didn't understand why he was so hesitant to join the expert group. I would be too.

Just one thing, how does the science of astrophysics deal with temperature of their objects? Obviously the temperature ranges
of objects involved in aircraft crashes are very limited. I think we know how important the temperature is to behavior of objects, right?
Simple H2O can feel and act very differently in temperatures of just 100C different (e.g. below freezing and above boiling).

And one more: quick signing of retirement age extension.

Anybody that cares about Poland would be better. Let's see: 38 million Poles in Poland plus 10 million abroad.
Subtract old people, children, sick, afraid of public speaking, afraid of serial suicide killer, 5 million left.
Subtract PO, Palitiger, communists supporters - 4.9 million left.

So there it is: 4.9 million better candidates.

In my backwards village peasant (I really, really like it) view, maybe the opposition doesn't want its candidate, him, or her,
exposed like a punching bag to regime media for extended time? They say you cannot beat a sitting president, but they
certainly can drawn themselves.... so maybe it makes sense? Of course in my backwards village peasant way of thinking.

News / 70% of Poles like Komorowski. Do you? [120]


Why? Komorowski will be running against his own record, so let him explain what he meant by rapid retirement age extension,
his public gathering bill, etc. etc.
I see plenty of older statesman types on right, not Kaczynski (professor), not Maciarewicz (unpleasant voice). I don't know if
'Ziobro is the future', he hasn't convinced me yet.
Again without access to prime media (you know the issue with TV Trwam), why would anybody step out of the line now?
4-6 months before elections, yes, but not now.

Backwards village peasant.
