Yes he is. But people who aren't bigots understand that it is perfectly possible to be both Jewish and Polish. Pity you can't grasp that fact.

History / Poland: Her heroes and her traitors [214]

Which accusations? Stating that the NSZ were rabidly anti-semitic scum who considered murdering Jews to be as important as fighting the Nazis and that their Holy Cross Brigade collaborated with the Nazis is purely making statements of historical fact. As is stating that the NSZ kidnapped and turned over to the Nazis Jews who were in the High Command of the AK.

Not quite: the word hypocritical needs to be added to the sentence.

How can we overlook Poland's favourite paedophile, Roman Polanski? A Polish-American criminal so considerate that he makes sure to only cum in a child's arse just in case she could get pregnant.

Go to pretty much any small or medium-sized Polish town (the poorer the better). Walk round until you find the three nicest office buildings in town: one of them is guaranteed to be the ZUS office.

My pleasure. However, you might want to note that a pint of cider in either place is more than 20zl!

But there is cider on tap in both Bradley's and Legends.

Looks like the best deal (for decent cider, e.g. Thatchers) from britishcornershop.co.uk is £85 for 52 cans (two 24-packs at £29.99 each and one 4-pack at £4.99, which means a 4-pack is actually cheaper per can!), so about 8zl per can.

Food / Where to find cider in Warsaw [13]

You can get it from the Fish & Chip shop on Koszykowa but as can be seen from their website here it is not cheap.

Personally I have mine delivered from the UK by britishcornershop.co.uk and they are a very nice bunch of people.

I have been told that Marks & Spencer in Zloty Tarasy have cider but I haven't been to check yet.

The problem with cider in Poland is that it is taxed as if it was wine, not as beer.

Deepak, do you really think that any language schools give private medical insurance as part of their package?


Yes, anybody who attempts to rely on the NHS is simply going to die....


Because Poland is a very nice place to live. Of course it is not perfect but we want to work on making the bad things better.

Now why are you still in Poland? Haven't you realised that your reputation here is now so bad that nobody is ever going to dream of doing business with you and so none of your attempted scams will ever work?


No, you said that to receive healthcare one has to pay ZUS. I pointed out that it is obligatory to pay ZUS if one is employed or is self-employed. The fact that ZUS payments are a mandatory levy imposed by the government makes them a tax and thus the healthcare system here is paid for by the taxpayer.


Perhaps trying a very commonly used topical cream before using a laser?


Sources please.

Law / Medical Malpractice in Poland - seeking accountability? [146]


No Moania, if one is self-employed, one is required to pay ZUS. If one is employed, one and one's employer are required to pay ZUS (with the money being deducted before it gets to one).


Yes Moania, I know that instead of me just making a single monthly tax payment, I have to make five payments (I'm sure that that makes sense to somebody somewhere). However, I take the approach that any fee charged levied by a government is a tax and as such say that healthcare in Poland is paid for by the Polish taxpayer.


So perhaps it might be better to try low-tech (i.e. cheap) solutions before trying high-tech (i.e. expensive) solutions?

A cheap high life? Sorry Deepak but a take-away curry from Namaste Clay costs more than a take-away from the curry house nearest to my mother's house in the UK. Even that laughable joke which is Royal India charges more! Cider here is 35% more than in the UK and decent beer costs more in Warsaw than it does in the UK. With such a masterly grip of what things cost, it's no wonder that all of your superb business plans come to nought.

Law / Medical Malpractice in Poland - seeking accountability? [146]


Yawn. Please don't pluck numbers from the air to support whatever rubbish you're banging on about now: according to the Economist Intelligence Unit Poland spent an estimated 7.1% of GDP on healthcare in 2010 (eiu.com/index.asp?layout=ib3PrintArticle&article_id=468300231&printer=printer).


Getting a job with an employer who gives private healthcare as part of your package is a better idea.


Really? So if the Polish taxpayer isn't paying for it, who does pay for it? And remember that last time I checked fewer than half the people in Poland actually pay any tax.

Law / Medical Malpractice in Poland - seeking accountability? [146]


It never ceases to amaze me how utterly retarded pseudo-Polish people can be. FYI: we pay for the shiitty excuse of a public health care system in Poland and that means we are perfectly entitled to point out that it is little short of a national disgrace. How much tax have you paid in Poland in the last ten years?

And by the way, aren't you the same person who says that "No sane person relies on the Polish medical system"? Right here. I assume that you will now be leaving Poland.

Given that pricing like that would be contrary to Grupa Zywiec rules, I very much doubt that it will. Although frankly anybody who orders Zywiec when there is another beer on offer is a moron.

Not having toilet paper or soap or paper towels is not a mistake: it is a symptom of a health care service that simply does not work.

The last time I was in a state hospital, there was no toilet paper, no soap and nothing to dry one's hands with. But you claim those places have the money to pay good salaries? Have you been to a place called the real world?

History / Do Poles really blame Britain for Poland becoming Communist after the war? [104]


According to the source you offer up as the word of God, there were 340,000 in the Polish underground army: those men are counted in the 880,000. Are you claiming that there were 1,112,000 in the Polish intelligence?!


Well done, you found a source which says there were 160,000 more than in your previous source: now you are only 952,000 short on your claim of two million. Although we should of course subtract the 375,000 Poles who joined the Nazi army, so we can assess Poland's net contribution to the war.

I sometimes wonder if some Poles blaming Britain for things such as Poland becoming communist is due to their utter ignorance of history and refusal to accept historical facts: you certainly offer very good support for that theory.

History / Do Poles really blame Britain for Poland becoming Communist after the war? [104]


OK, let's take your number: you claimed two million plus, so where are the remaining +1,260,000?


I said nothing about numbers: I said that some were where they had been since they'd left the Polish army.
You want to speak about who pays for whom, you source facts. Until then, kindly withdraw and apologise.


Interesting that to you the BBC publishes "petty articles" and that the British government agency which pays for the Poles makes statements "with no substance". Really dude: you just got your arse handed to you who has forgotten more about this subject than you'll ever know: walk away with a shred of integrity intact. No insult intended.

History / Do Poles really blame Britain for Poland becoming Communist after the war? [104]



Hint taken. Sorry for making you repeat yourself.

History / Do Poles really blame Britain for Poland becoming Communist after the war? [104]


I am pointing out that that website has very clear errors on it.


Fine, from your recommended source:

ww2.pl/Polish,Army,on,the,Eastern,Front,24.html


ww2.pl/The,underground,home,army,25.html

210,000 plus 330,000 plus 340,000 equals 880,000: less than half the two million you are claiming. Even the source you provide shows you are a liar!

History / Do Poles really blame Britain for Poland becoming Communist after the war? [104]


The standard excuse, but one which overlooks that fact the vast majority of the supposed non-Poles were in reality Polish enough to join the Polish army after they were captured by the western allies (89,300 out of 104,000 total captured).

I have indeed picked it up: I read the bit where it claims that all Poles who fought under western command were excluded from the London Victory parade by the British government for fear of offending Stalin. Then I put it down and picked up a history book instead of a semi-fictional book.


Like the day they claimed to have shot down more planes than the entire allied airforce actually managed.


You mean the bit where he confirms that Poles were invited but refused to go?


Really? I said that both western and eastern command Poles were invited and both groups refused. Do feel very welcome to quote the posts in which I was "busted". Or just carry on lying about it.


Stop being a liar.
