Po polsku / Czy ktoś pamięta ORMO? [22]

Świadczy to o skuteczności lustracji w III RP, przez którą przepuszczono mnóstwo ubeków i innych PRL-owców. A nawet na tak cherlawą lustrację darli się w niebogłosy różni SLD-owcy i inni michnikowscy, że 'grzebanie w życiorysach' itp. ple-ple-ple...

Kaczyński jest biednym, zmęczonym człowiekiem. Herosem na pewno nie jest.
Nie nadaje się do życia w świecie tuskowego cynizmu i obłudy.

The American Public Health Association has released a study showing that unmarried parents reported more mental health and behavioral problems than did married parents, and unmarried parents whose relationships ended before the birth reported more impairment compared with other groups of unmarried parents. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1586128/

Po polsku / Czy ktoś pamięta ORMO? [22]

A gdzie mieli się schroinić byli ormowcy i pzprowcy po walce z układami PiS (IV RP)? Oczywiście mogli do SLD, ale w obecnej koniinkturze ta partia nie ma dużego znaczenia i nie zapwnia tłustych synekur. PO jest zlepkiem wszystkiego po trosze -- liberałów gospodarczych i społecznych, łagodnych antyklerykałówi (ostrzejsi są u Palikota) oraz 'postępowych' katolików, przedsiębiorców i grandziarzy, różnych konserwatystów i centroprawiców, a także przechowalnią wszelkiej maści ex-ubeków i innych niedobitów PRL-u.

Food / Anyone fancy Polish pieróg lubelski? [12]

There is a similar loaf called a kulebiak which instead of groats is usually stuffed with cooked cabbage, but may even contain a rice and egg filling, fish or other things. Google it - I'm sure there'll be pictures and recipes.

News / Nergal should rip up Koran - Wałęsa [11]

Wprost.pl reported Lech Wałęsa telling an Onet.pl interviewer: "My feelings were hurt. Let him try ripping up the Koran in public and he'll see what happens. It's easy to step all over Catholicism." He was commenting on Satan metal musician Nergal (Adam Darski) who tore up a Bible on stage and slandered the Catholic church. Asked whether Nergal should be punished, Wałęsa said: "I'm not sure about that, but certain steps in that area should be taken, because without values and without the spiritual we won't get very far."

My feelings have been affected . You can not do things like that . You can not tear the Bible, Koran and other books important for believers . Let Nergal try to tear up the Koran, he will see what happens. Easily pushed around Catholicism. - Lech Walesa said in an interview with Onet.pl , commenting on the issue tearing the leader of the Bible into death metal band closed the concert.

Inquired whether Adam " Nergal " Darski for his deed should be punished in court the former president said he is not convinced of that , but you really should take action on this issue , because " without value and without the spirit does not go far ."

Food / Anyone fancy Polish pieróg lubelski? [12]

Pieróg Lubelski is a bread or egg-bread loaf filled with a mixture of buckwheat, potatoes of farmer (curd) cheese. To those who grew up with it this is a typical babcia's comfort food. Actually it is known along Poland's eastern flank from Podlasie down through Lubelszczyzna to Podkarpacie.

News / Curb shack-up privileges - black MP John Goodson appealing to the labour minister [21]

In a free country people are free to live like livestock if they so prefer. There is no law requiring anyone to espouse higher values. Besides, if you diasgree with MP Godson and believe shackers-up should not have their privileges diminished, then take it up with him. You'll find his biuro poselskie somewhere on the net.

News / Curb shack-up privileges - black MP John Goodson appealing to the labour minister [21]

Jesus never rescinded the 6th commandment and did not promote libertine-decadent lifestyle such as fornication, adultery and infidelity or forms of deviant behaviour. He also stiffened the Jews' stand on divorce. Read the New Testament. He did not turn away prostitutes, theives or other sinners, but forgave and admonisehd them to: Go and sin no more!

The godless lecturing Catholics on Christianity!? Laughable to be sure!

News / Curb shack-up privileges - black MP John Goodson appealing to the labour minister [21]

Wprost.pl reported PO Afro-Polish MP John Goodson appealing to the labour minister to cut back on the privileges available to unmarried couples living in concubinage (common law). Goodson, an ordaiend Protestant minister, expressed concern over the fact that there were 4,800 fewer marriages and 2,700 more divorces in Poland than in the same period of 2011.

Experience shows that many people in Poland deliberately avoid marriage to be able to enjoy the privileges for the lonely. Experts suggest that in 2003, when increased significantly allowance for single-parent families , the number of applications for separations increased by over 200 percent . - He stressed.

According to Godson privileges for single parents are justified in cases where the use of them , those who as a result of random events, for example . Spouse's death , fell into trouble. In the opinion Godson because of the privileges in Poland better live in cohabiting than married . People formally lonely can easily enroll your child in nursery school or kindergarten , and can enjoy the benefits. - But no one checks to see if it really is a child raised by a single parent , or on the contrary , the mother and father live together but are not married - emphasizes policies.

Food / Goose meat anyone in Poland? [20]

A campaign is under way in the northern Poland's Kujawsko-Pomorskie region for the fourth time to promote the consumption of goose meat in Poland. Martinmas (Nov 11) had been the traditional occasion for roast goose, but in recent years nearly all of Poland's geese are exported to Germany. Any PFer fancy roast goose? On the fatty side but very nice esp. prepared with prunes and/or apples.

Language / What has been the hardest language for you to learn? [81]

Speaking of Chinese, the writing is foreboding indeed, but speaking basic household Chinese (Mandarin) is easy enough to pick up. Once you get past the four intonations that vowels have. In the States I had Chinese flatmates (from Taiwan) at uni and could communicate on a basic level. Haven't used it in years, but remember I used to introduce myself to Chinamen with:

£o sy polan mejgłoren. (I am a Polish American).
Ni ło hy ca? (Fancy some tea?)

(I have used Polish phonetics for the sake of ease.)

The EU structrures are domianted by decadent European leftists who try to force their hare-brained allegedly 'progressive' utopian view of reality on everyone else. Stalin and Hitler also had law courts, so why should the PC dictatorship be any different?

Typical skewed and biased PC mentality. The abortion seeker has rights, the doctor whose conscience would be violated is deprived of them.
The precursor of today's PC hypocrisy was George Orwell with his poignant: Everyone is equal but some are more equal than others.

News / Polish teenager pregnant after rape - A recent result to an older story [34]

How can one reconcile the right to an abortion (allowed under Polish law in the case of rape or incest) to a doctor's right to invoke the conscience clause? Doctor's who regard abortion as the murder of an unborn child have the right to refuse to perform them. What happens if no conscience-less doctor can be found in a given hospital?

Life / Blasphemy not OK in Poland! [54]

FlaglessPole
I woiuld be absolutely oppsoed to a so-called aritstic 'installation' depicitng the Tora or some nation's flag immersed in excrement, urine or anything else that would be offensive to Jews or others. But this cannot work one way.

PC is about creating new pet sacred cows (homosexuals, Jews) but turning a blind eye to other forms of discrimination such as Catholic-bashing and Pole-bashing.

PC is the personficaiton of Orwell's poignant words: Everyone is equal except some are more equal than others!

Life / Blasphemy not OK in Poland! [54]

Another example of PC justice. A few years ago some 'artist' in NY ( I won't mention the nationality but he wasn't Portuguese!) displayed a cruxifix in a jar of urine. Those who protested were shouted down that it's simply freedom artistic expression. I wonder whatJewish NY would say to a n 'artistic installation' comprising facsimile of the Tora imemrsed in a bowel of excrement.

The point is not to try and push the tit-for-tat limits of the permissible and bend the law to the breaking point but but to be guided by comon sense, restraint and mutual respect.

News / ANTI-POLONISM IN EUROPE [39]

I agree, but not a day goes by that some PFer doesn''t raise the spectre of anti-Semitism. They are the ones who should be told that the topic has already been ridden to death. The a-S word appears on PF 10 maybe 20 times more often than anti-Polonism, Polanophobia or any other anti-Polish formualtion.

News / ANTI-POLONISM IN EUROPE [39]

Merged: Anti-Polonism, not anti-Semitism?

The Anti-defamtaion League of B'nai B'rith and otehr Jeiwsh forums and websites never concern themselves with anti-Polish discrimination and rightly so. Their sole thrust are the issues, causes, concerns, interests and good name of the Jewish people. They usually also conveniently overlook any wrongs Jews have committed against Poland (from siding with the partitioning powers and KPP subversion in the inter-war period to the persecution of Poles by the Soviet-installed terrorist regime). Since PF deals with Polish issues, concerns and interests, why should it be so precocupeid with some alien -ism?

Of course, anti-Polonism is no better or worse than any other form os discrimiantion. Anti-Kurdism, Anti-Hispanicism and anti-Hungarianism are no different from anti-Semitism in that they all involve a negative bias. And all of them deserve to be discussed and analysed, but not necessarily on PF.
