Jarosław Kaczyński: To sprawa pana Tuska

up to a certain extent, that is...

yes, i had agreed previously that cba and their methods was a
problem... however let's not reach the conclusion that tusk's
current problems stem from his reluctance (inability due to his
management limitations?) to deal with reforming the cba to serve its
statutory purpose rather than serve a political party in opposition
to the present government... i do not think that cba
somehow "convinced" two gambling industry executives/criminals
to "influence" po government ministers to act not in the best
interests of the society that elected them to lead the country. i
also do not think that cba created the situation related to
shipyards' privatisation whereby po government associates were
buying affiliate companies of the shipyard's parent company for
peanuts and then the parent company was repaying the debt owned to
the affiliate, thus creating an instant several hundred percent
windfall profit to the purchaser. ultimately tusk and tusk alone is
responsible for the widespread corruption within his government and
his inability to address this situation confirms that he is a poor
manager whichever area of management we look at (or i look at, if
you will).

tv... i absolutely agree with you that in a fair and just world the
situation with the control of tvp is not ideal, to say the least.
however the polish world is neither fair nor just. there are
numerous commercial tv stations that are openly hostile to the
current opposition and heavily supportive of the government of the
day. similarly with the press and we are currently corresponding
with each other utilising the forum of one of them. obviously it
happens all over the world, but, in a civilized world, never with
such intensity and "in your face"... i am a big fan of equilibrium
within all aspects of life and a pro-pis state tv provides a bit of
a counterbalance to the pro-po stations and titles... although, as
stated above, in principle i am against a pro-party state tv, but in
this particular case i'm prepared to tolerate it in the interest of
a "fair go", which is possibly the best motto of my country of
residence of choice. just in support of the fair go principle i may
for time to time be defending staunched pis supporter when he or she
is attacked by 10 or more po supporters on this forum. which does
not mean that i agree with his or her views on the topic at hand...

can you elaborate a bit why you're not impressed with my view
(wouldn't call it a definition) of nationality??? i was not born
where i live, my ancestors had not had the local blood in their
veins and i haven't even been brought up in here, yet when you look
into my passport i am a local national. am i a true blue aussie???
bloody oath i'm not. my son who was born here tells me to go back to
my country, poland, when doesn't like what i say to him and it may
be related to local vs polish customs... he wouldn't say that to any
of his mates, who were born here...i'm as good an aussie as i can
be, but in earnest i'm an australian citizen of polish
nationality... similarly tusk is a polish citizen of some other
(german, prussian, casubian?) nationality...

if my memory serves me right, long time ago we were discussing the
traits of anglosaxon ethnic group and, without revealing my theory,
i proposed the origin/reason for a lower case i and the little
questionnaire to be completed prior to discussing the theory
itself... i have to concede though that i cannot base my theory on
the lower case i any more... your explanation holds water no matter
how you look at it and it makes a lot of common sense too.


take care

ps. as you suggest let's wait for a new subject to continue our
discussions in the future.
