UK, Ireland / Why Scotland doesnt Need any Immigrants By a Scotsman [56]

Well, with immigrants yes.

Isn't enough work for Scots? Create new jobs, be imaginative. There was a book on this, create your own career and line of work.

UK, Ireland / Why Scotland doesnt Need any Immigrants By a Scotsman [56]

Well, if the SNP were wise then they'd make a referendum a 100% reality. Secondly, we ARE part of the UK, thus part of the EU with them. The Poles have a right to be in Scotland. Try around 48 million in England.

Healthy? Come off it, they are loaded with salt.

How am I a pervert for eating Marmite, cj?

OK...

A camp counseler or the counsellor of the camp? ;)

I'm looking forward to cheese spread and Marmite :)

You turn Family Fortunes into a stone-faced gameshow rather than a fun show which it is meant to be. The Polish dude is no Les Dennis.

It depends if they are moderate or radical feminists.

Or Bóg Wojna from Honor. NS Polish sentiment

Nah, I don't. It's just a bit of banter in the end. The Scots get a fair bit of stick too.

Anyway, back to the topic. I really feel that such instances can be avoided. There are many ways to let off steam but those guys just don't try hard enough. Walking away is an option which isn't used often enough.

Life / 800 thousand Polish women are victims of domestic abuse yearly [180]

Yes, Seanny. Tell me, what is the difference between murder and manslaughter/homicide, Seanny?

Life / 800 thousand Polish women are victims of domestic abuse yearly [180]

Murder is always with premeditation, it is a mens rea crime, lesser. Other data, not another data.

Love / My polish ex threatens to commit suicide after separation [62]

And then you woke up, right? ;)

Love / My polish ex threatens to commit suicide after separation [62]

You (have) understood that in the past, yes, but do you still understand it now? No offence, but yours is a cautionary tale of how flitting between different women is not a good idea, the failed rebound approach.

Women naturally carry more emotional baggage than men and moving on without resolving issues is just shirking responsibility on your part. Closure is good if you can do it.

Love / My polish ex threatens to commit suicide after separation [62]

Southern, that's the nature of the beast. They want marriage quickly, it's part of their culture. What I can't get is that some guys try all night in a nightclub, maybe time and again, to get a girl to bone. Then it's over in a matter of minutes through PEj or passing out through too much vodka.

Come on southern, you came across pretty shallow there. Sex is a fleeting pleasure.

Food / Where to buy Cheddar in Warsaw? [57]

Bought a good Irish Land Cheddar from Cork (in Tesco). Quite expensive at 14PLN for 200grams but it tastes sublime!

It was people like Kohl and Mitterand who kept driving forward the EC into the EU. They had well-documented shows of solidarity. Retinger died in 1960, only 3 years after the EEC.

The man had contacts and used them, that's what many people do these days. With it comes nepotism. Many others could have shared the same vision but not had the means to bring it about.

this is what secret governments and Bilderberg are about. Nothing to be proud of.

I also found it a little odd that a judge would use that line. It is tenable at best but unlikely.

News / Some Poles burning American flag [299]

That's hilarious, nunczka. I saw no plane. It is reminiscent of a missile attack. Answer me this, why was the dude's video from the gas station confiscated so quickly? Why was the steel shipped off to Asia so quickly?

The fact is, the Neocons didn't have enough sound technical guys on board to pull it off. They didn't think it through. How does Rummy feel about helping Bin Laden escape?

Sokrates, he brought together the banking dynasty? Whoopdeedoo, I was talking about leading politicians and the role that they played. Who did he russle up?

Life / 800 thousand Polish women are victims of domestic abuse yearly [180]

You talk like one of those corpus juris guys, Harry. No offence. Streamlining and harmonisation of legal principles and rulings is hard. You can have a codex of certain things but some things are best left untouched.

So you are telling me that England's common law tradition is exactly the same as Scotland's?

Anyway, this should be a matter for PM. We are hijacking.

News / Some Poles burning American flag [299]

Who did he bring together then? I don't pretend to be an expert as sjam suggests. My reading between the end of WWII up to the ECSC isn't so varied.

I agree that a whimsical approach works but you are overweighing its importance here.

Life / 800 thousand Polish women are victims of domestic abuse yearly [180]

When rebutting a claim, you should be accurate as to your sources. It's actually a lie to call it British law when it may only have existed in England.

That's the one, Harry, the very cartoon. 14 years ago now I saw that, sheesh.

On the third point, that would appear to be the case. From a detailed knowledge of many case reports, I can safely say that the writing of the 'rule of thumb' would've been crystal clear and easily found/findable.

Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.

You are very light, nunczka, which is cool enough.

So, African-Americans are redundant and have contributed nothing, right?

Life / 800 thousand Polish women are victims of domestic abuse yearly [180]

English judges were prone to a bit of wacky reasoning which makes it plausible but not a matter of fact.

It might just have been a quip in the courtroom for a laugh and taken as contributing to the ratio decidendi.

Yes, back to the topic.

Life / 800 thousand Polish women are victims of domestic abuse yearly [180]

Well, he should have been specific then. To imply that English Law and Scots Law are the same is well wide of the mark.

I vaguely remember doing this case in jurisprudence. Something about a cartoon distorting reality.

The verdict is not clear cut and the jury is out. That's the state of play.

News / Poland..wake up to a multicultural world [1059]

Eh, we are gonna be in the Helmand Province for another 5 years, is that not enough? A British presence will be there til 2025 more than likely (not troops).

What I will say is that there was no definitive obiter dictum on the matter. If he really said it, it would be easy to trace. In a law library, I could find it for you in seconds.

It's more likely that it emanated in/from the late 17-th century and assumed its heuristic quality. Axioms evolved in a similar fashion.

In Scotland, we have the law of reasonable chastisement but it is applied first and foremost to children.

Life / 800 thousand Polish women are victims of domestic abuse yearly [180]

No, English Law is from the Anglo-American system and Scotland from the Romano-Germanic, quite distinct backgrounds really.

I think he's spinning a yarn here.

News / Poland..wake up to a multicultural world [1059]

The Japanese were wackos, yes. They are wacko in a positive way now :)

Aha, the African-Americans have done absolutely nothing for American culture, right? Pfff

Being nuked is pretty darn drastic to state the obvious.

No, I just have a clearer version of events on 9/11 through extensive reading. Call it what you will but conspiracy is a nonsense term. What plane into the Pentagon? ;)

Oh, I haven't bitten yet. I'm tame for now.
