Life / Do Poles wear (patriotic) Polish clothing abroad? [6]

If you live outside of Poland, do you ever go out with any Polish clothing on? I sometimes where a shirt that has the country of Poland on it, coloured in red and white. That is about it. I don't care if someone looks and does not approve. I do not where it all the time. I often read Polish papers when I am on public transport, that is probably the best way to tell that I am Polish, not that it is my main aim or anything, but I do like to read stuff in Polish, to brush up on vocab.

News / Poland Parliament elections in October 2011 [944]

delphiandomine has anger problems. Even when I do not talk about PiS, he still responds to me with something negative, because he knows I support them. Basically he is now 'negatywnie nastawiony' to me. Get yourself checkout out dweeb!

News / The cross in Polish parliament - Does it bother you? [100]

You can be religiously tolerant but still have the cross in parliament. Poland is not Britain, it is not secular. Poland is in the majority a Catholic country and most certainly in majority Christian, so there is no problem is showing that, whole allowing others to practise their own religions too. This is something many Islamic countries do not allow.

News / The cross in Polish parliament - Does it bother you? [100]

What part of 'Poland is a Catholic country' do you not understand? British parliament even has to say a prayer as far as I know and that is possibly one of the most secular countries in the world, but it is tradition there. Christianity is in Poland's tradition. Why alter it? Why not just leave it alone. I do not remember it bothering anyone before. Those who want to take the cross off are not arguing for having other symbols, they just do not want it there because somehow it offends their feelings. If you have other symbols up they are probably going to have a problem with that too, because it infringes on their right not to believe in anything. How about leave it as it is? It did not bother people over the past, almost 15 years now. There were no debates in parliament about it before, why is it such a big problem now? I do not remember hearing Jews or Muslims being offended by it and seeing manifestations in the streets. If you want to talk about other alterations, such as possibly stopping a taxation that goes to the Church, that is a different story. The cross however, should stay. More people want it to stay than go, so democracy wins, right? PO also have a majority, only 40%, less than half of Poland, but still a majority, so they are now in charge. Right? Democracy.

UK, Ireland / What do you like about living in Britain? [134]

I like the way it is economically developed and makes life easier in general. Other than financial positives, there is nothing I like and a lot I do not like.

Love / 'Seks po polsku' - the sex lives of Poles: [45]

]people have to get intimate (in reality 'have sex') so why is it that the majority are too ashamed to say it

For the same reason we do not have discussion on taking a crap in the toilet. It is something we do but why talk about it? Intimacy is between 2 people [most of the time]. Why should we watch scenes with it on television or talk about it with our friends? We know it happens, it is personal, so leave it alone.

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]

My take on multiracial Polish people is simple. I would rather Polish people kept with themselves but if there is a multiracial Polak or Polka born in Poland who speaks the language and is proud of their 'Polishness' then I am not going to have anything against them, it's not their fault that they are who they are and have a mix of a couple or more cultures that is sometimes obvious by the way they look.

Polonia / When is the Russian Orthodox Boże Narodzenie? [5]

Quick question. I know a person who is Russian Orthodox and am wondering when they celebrate the Russian Orthodox Boże Narodzenie? I was reading somewhere that a few years ago it took place at the same time as the Polish Boże Narodzenie [I don't say Easter as it is derived from a pagan festival]. This leads me to think that it is normally at a different time. Does anyone know when it is this year as I am not sure when to send them my wishes.

News / Drunken Brit beats up young Polish policewoman [62]

This is sad to hear and I agree in Britain this would be amplified x 10 about how terrible Polish people are. The title does say 'beat up' when actually, reading the article, it was one punch and then he ran off, but this is something you get a lot in Britain. People get so pissed drunk that they do stupid stuff and then have no clue what they did. Not surprising a number of bars in Poland do not allow any Brits in, knowing what might go on after a few drinks.

Life / Multiracial Poles [154]

I find it funny how the 1st page is filled with pictures of pretty multiracial girls as if to say persuade us that multi racialism is great. We don't get pictures of guys till the 3rd page and even they are lookers [not that I am attracted obviously].

News / The spiritual heirs of the Polish Communist Party [91]

It's frightening that there is still an opinion in Poland that if you are patriotic you are some sort of right wing racist. What is happening in Poland. It is starting to be like Britain where people are afraid to say anything in case they get branded a racist.

News / Controversial exhibition of Hitler's Art in Szczecin, Poland [14]

It is just another stupid decision. Why put it there? It is bound to annoy people? You might as well have an exhibition by some slave trader put up in Africa. It is like the Gross book, why sell it in Poland. People who do controversial stuff think they are brave but they are not, they are stupid.

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]

To comment on the OP's original post. I just want to say how glad I am you are not in charge of this country. What a great slogan. Keep us in power and we'll let in more immigrants. Do you know how many countries and trying hard to stop immigrants going in? For some places [like Britain] it seems to be too late. Allowing masses of immigrants in to the country causes much more problems than 'not having enough' as you put it. Anyway allowing immigrants in is not the answer. This is not going to solve the problem. Polish women are not more likely to want to have a child with an African or Asian guy than a Polish man. The problem is they fear having children because times are very difficult in Poland. If the current government did more to support families then perhaps women would be more enthusiastic about starting a family. This is why so many women [and men for that matter] move away to other countries, not because Polish people are travellers or because they want to get with foreigners, but because they want to be able to provide a better life for their family, when they have one. A lot of Polish women stick with Polish men in foreign countries, but they have better financial conditions to look after a family there.

As for the pictures you put up in your original post. I prefer the pure Polish ones to the mixed ones. Do you really want to have a class full of mixed race 'mini gangstas' like the last picture you posted at the bottom?

Do not mistake this for racism by the way. One can have no problem with other races but still prefer them to stay in their countries. There is nothing wrong with segregation in my view and if you want to see what other cultures are like, book a holiday and go take a look. No need to see them on nearly every street.

If you feel like it is too boring in Poland with so many Polish people in it that look so similar, move to Britain or America. Lots of mixed mess there. You can see how well people get along with one another and how they love other races. Personally I feel this is one of Poland's strengths, that it is not overflowing with immigrants. In a way, the fact that it is not the most financially prosperous country is a blessing in disguise because masses of foreigners to not flock to it.

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

Just wondering what some of your thoughts are on this. They are fighting to get a place on the multiplex on Polish television. It seems they were not given a place for financial reasons although others who had worse financial situations were given a place on the platform.

There are close to 2 million signatures so far in a petition against a decision not to grant them a place.It is interesting that a lot of people involved in the demonstrations rarely watch it or do not watch it ever, yet they feel the channel does a lot of good for people [those who are for example free] and seemingly in a fight for free speech feel they should be on the multiplex so people can have a choice if they want to watch it or not.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [853]

It's amazing. In a world where generally speaking, unless a person is trying to sabotage their own nation [and there are actually a few leaders like this], most leaders tend to fight for their countries. In Poland, it seems every time the crash is mentioned it causes a shiver up PO politicians spines. They would rather just admit it was the fault of their own country and move on as quick as possible.

By the way, anyone remember the Barbara Blida case? You know, when she took a gun and shot herself. How long was that ranted about in the sejm? The SLD politicians spent ages 'investigating' [or trying to prove that PiS was somehow at fault for her shooting herself] this case. It was talked about for a very long time. In the end, after a long while, they could not find any proof and it was dropped. When the same is trying to be done here, a proper investigation, it gets shut down as being complete madness.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2860]

I would, if only there were not so many insane people. You just know bad stuff would be happening if people could own guns. To be honest I think giving out driving licenses to people is enough, or even too much still, since there are so many psychopaths on the roads. I wonder if there is some statistic that shows Poland to be the worst for road deaths? It would not surprise me it it was.

Life / Activating remote for Cyfrowy Polsat [5]

Does anyone have Cyfrowy Polsat [one of the newer versions]?

If you do have it, there is supposed to be a way of activating the remote. I had to unplug the box and now it is blocked again. I forgot how to do it. I cannot find any instructions on the rather craply designed page of Cyfrowy Polsat.

Much appreciated of someone knows.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [853]

People should stop poking fun at a man for trying to get to the bottom of a tragedy that is still unresolved [it is not resolved because Russian and the Polish government say it is].

For a long time members of PiS did not openly say it was a planned attack. After a while though, with no detailed investigation and a look at the suspicious behaviour of the Russians on a number of issues, they are implying that it looks to be likely that it was murder, key being likely, not definite, but probable.

Oh by the way recently an Italians football player died on the pitch. There is a full investigation being conducted in to his death. It is standard procedure to investigate a death.

The Russians pushing experts away, not allowing them to look in to this is very suspicious to me. Is it not to you? It surprises me more people not complaining about the treatment by the Russians.

No it's not that. There is some procedure you have to go through with the newer ones otherwise they simply do not work. Weirdly though, they work when the television is not turned on but stop working when it is on. I just thought someone might know the deal with this.

News / Why is PO still in power? [9]

That is the question.

Everywhere you turn someone is complaining about the government. No it is not just a tiny amount of people, it is in many different areas and sectors. Even on the pro PO media programs where you can call in [Superstacja, TVN] the callers there who are not necessarily pro PiS, talk about how terrible PO is [but probably still end up voting for them or just not voting].

It seems SLD and their rather more stoned clones have a chunk of the votes, but really the race continues to be between 2 parties.

How on earth did they win the elections then?

2 possibilities

1/ It was a fix.

or the more likely answer

2/ PO know that they are unable to promote themselves with what they have done, so all they have left is to say 'Yeah this government might be bad but look at what it could be like if you vote for the racist psychopathic conspiracy theorists known as PiS.

Kind of like this

It is a sad state of affairs when you vote for party not because you think they are the best choice and would do well in charge but because you think they are the best looking piece of trash on the scrap heap.
