News / EU a beacon of light for the World to follow [85]

Seanus

I have write "mostly" you must admit. Why to hide this sad fact, because of PC? In fact most of average people don't know what is really the difference between European Parliament, Council of Europe, European Commission, European Council or Council of the European Union. More complicated questions are not needed at all.

News / EU a beacon of light for the World to follow [85]

You don't need any EU institutions to create "free" market (in closed European version) , this is a question of one treaty. Of course I support such solution, even broader. This standardization like you wrote is necessary to Brussels bureaucracy only to fully control this market. They are parasites whom rob European taxpayers and create millions of useless regulations and barriers also to justify their existence.

Lesser, I will try to answer you by quoting from other posters in this topic (there is no need to be original here)

These quotes does not represent any knowledge, just empty slogans of people who mostly probably don't even understand how the EU is run. One cannot even argue because nothing was really written.

Vietnamese public schools need to be even worse than Polish. I see that these utopian communist theories of central planning have second life...

News / EU a beacon of light for the World to follow [85]

An ordinary German care about laws in Germany because this have direct influence on his life. Why on earth a German should decide what to do in other countries and other way around if they have no idea about real problem in these places?? If you think that all world is the same, have the same problems, opportunities and there are some universal solutions which fits everywhere you are very wrong. Somebody from Greece have little idea about life in Ireland and a person from Poland has no clue about Cypriot issues. Why would average German care about rights of German politicians to co-decide about laws in some other countries? Why should average Irishmen tolerate French socialist wanting to impose high taxes in his country?

Tran Anh, why should not European politician co-decide about Vietnam and Vietnamese about European affairs? This is simply insane.

Perhaps those MEPs in fact have nothing to say and everything is dictated by all-knowing Central Committee based in Brussels? In the EU everything is wrong, we see how Berlin, Warsaw or Roman give up their competences to CC in Brussels. While we shoudl witness how Berlin, Warsaw and Rome give up their competences to Munich, Bremen, Hamburg, Wroclaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Torino, Bari or Florence. People in regions know much better how to resolve their problems than any all-knowing bureaucrats in Brussels! The latter are corrupt parasites wanting to keep their hands on everything what is going on in Europe.

You can actively choose the representative of your country in the EU parliament...

This is a certain winner of the most stupid statement of the month award on PF. Sorry BB but you are totally brainwashed, you don't even realize how illogical your posting is sometimes. Somehow your brain cells received this above message from Brussels's propagandists and you without hesitation accepted everything.

In Sunday I have heard in TV a politician who explained how important Euro-election are, he told that already about 50% of laws are made in Brussels. I could even understand that if you would not care who is running your life. However your post show different attitude, you are glad that Germans are there. Think about it, before German society could elect all deputies who create law in their country. Actually you are glad because German society have the right to elect only few Germans who will create the law in your country. Before German people were responsible for everything what is happening in Germany, soon they will lost these rights and some completely ignorant of problems in your country people for example from far Portugal will be partially responsible for what is going on in Deutchland. Please... hopefully you were drunk when you wrote this post.

The EU is going to be as democratic as the member states

Because those ignorant Brits, Danes, Dutch, French or Czechs we were denied referendum. Our politicians told this to us. We cannot democratically decide because then other governments would be forced to ask their people. this is all about democracy in the EU, pathetic farce!

News / What do Poles think of current President of Poland? [23]

I have to admit they (we... I am one of them although not living in Poland) are getting better.

This is really funny that you raise the issue of nationality. Majority of Poles don't seems to be opposed to giving up more and more competences from hands of local politicians to completely unknown for them Euro-bureaucrats. Those people would probably agree to have completely unknown for them president of the EU. In this circumstances your argument sounds ridiculous if you are one of those Poles mentioned above.

If Polish politicians are not worth any trust they should be simply fired I would have not problems with signing contract with Mr Klaus, a serious, successful and honest man.

I don't really like him, I have a bit better opinion about him before he was elected. Still I prefer him over Kwaśniewski or Wałęsa. This is good that he is so dependent from his brother because Jarosław is not socialistic to this extend. His loyalty to Brussels makes me sick.

This day could be replaced by some other important religious holiday. Except few weird commies nobody seriously celebrate this occasion, this is just a free day. While religious holidays are celebrated at least by some part of the society, for the rest it would be the same free day like labor day.

dude you already forgot what your talking about.... you used law to argue your position and when I did the same you said the law is useless.....

I was talking about universal in western civilization concepts originated from Roman law. While you about paragraphs written by thieves based on their greediness. First option is in agreement with logic and common sense, second serve populism and thievery.

that's where your wrong..... If a government sends to money or food for a African family..... I consider that helping....

You should read my description of this "helping" once again...

Scientists will announce some of their findings, even if incomplete, for the rest of the scientific community to express their views on new discoveries. It's called peer review. Sometimes the new discovery is proven wrong, sometimes gaps are filled in.

I agree but they cannot claim something to be definitely right without proof.

You missed my point. No matter though. You are comparing belief to fact anyway. You reject verifiable facts as full of holes, and yet you accept scriptures with all their internal inconsistencies.

I reject only statements that unconfirmed theories cannot be questioned. Similar issue with human influence on global warming. They don't have evidence at all but still don't want even discuss with people whom disagree. While I believe in creationism because I don't see anybody who could be able to provide a reliable explanation based on evidence. If something like this happen I can reconsider.

I was talking about theology with you

I don't need religious arguments to proof my point on this issue. This is you who raised the issue of sin.

Many pro abortion(which I dont support) polictians have done a lot of good for the country... This should not prevent me from voting for them.....

Without offense but I tend to doubt whether you know what is good for a country... So again, what is a top priority for a Christian innocent human life or cash? If a politician promise second heaven just after we kill all Lithuanians, why not vote for him? What would prevent you from such decision?

No your wrong, the discussion was about sending money to Africa, we werent discussing how this should be done....

K, your still sending money to Africa be it a private organization or not...

I cannot ignore such comments... Beside of that I oppose aid from governments and don't oppose (neither support because this will never resolve their problems) sending private money.

But science does not trust any theories blindly. It creates them based on research and objective evidence. Science IS a result of investigation. Religion does not investigate but assumes things apriori and uses dogmas.

I agree but scientists must proof their theories before announcing to be the only correct.

If you weren't so passionate about rejecting science as worth while then you would use this very part of the post to show how science actually proves that the supernatural exists and is the cause of all things. There is a catch to that though, but at this time the catch is pretty debatable.

When we talking about beliefs then I don't need to question something which don't pretend to be science. When somebody would claim otherwise I would question his point and this would not be very difficult.

if you want to bring the law into this than fine.... Law says abortion is legal.......

Current laws are worth nothing in general, bureaucratic mafia and populist politicians control this business. I think that if some university student as a some project provided Reform treaty of the EU there is serious possibility that his project would be rejected. Stupidity of this ridiculous "document" is amazing. This abortion law that you mentioned is in opposition to logic, paragraphs contradict each other. I think that I showed this clear enough above... What is more first abortion on demand laws were created by Hitler and Lenin, apparently ideological fathers of Europe...

Im only 24 so I had the chance to vote only once in the presidential elections, once in local and state elections... Either way I know how the game is played....

Nearly everybody who vote claim so. Then why nearly always we are ruled by thieving populists?

K, your still sending money to Africa be it a private organization or not... Don't twist the conversation. I support sending money to Africa and it seems you agree...

You are wrong, there is huge difference. In first case corrupt Euro-American politicians hand over money of their taxpayers to totally corrupt UN bureaucrats and they to maybe even more corrupt (if this is possible at all) African caciques. All of them steal more or less and in the end African caciques waste the rest of cash on programs from the start based on western subsidies. You could subside them to the end of the world and they would be still poor.

Second option when you willingly send your private money directly to organization that you trust. These money at least reach to the people, however wont change situation over there in general. This could be done only by Africans themselves.

According to Big Bang theory neither time nor space existed before Big Bang minus Planck Time (Stephen Hawking ). Therefore, from the point of view of science nothing existed. Science does not research "nothing".

According to this theory nothing existed but science cannot blindly trust some certain theories, reject others and abandon to investigate such problems. Beside of this if they say that nothing was before so where is action - reaction connection (związek przyczynowo-skutkowy)? IMO serious hole in this theory.

were talking about creationsim and the truth is it is taught to disprove evolution..

I'm talking about RCC, I cannot discuss about other versions cause I have not such knowledge.

I am not a scientist so this is my best explanation and all of this iIS based on evidance.... Scientist didn't pull this out of thin air u know.... lol

Author of this theory claims that he don't know what was before... Different people have different explanations and nobody is able to proof his rights. They back their theories by traces not evidences.

One sin doesn't justify another... maybe so but the sin of abortion rests with the rapist and not the raped... No mother should be put in the position to have a baby of a rapist....

Not maybe but for sure. While rapist should be punished, this fact cannot have any impact on child. You need to face some basic realities of legal system in western civilization, I invented nothing new here.

You must understand politics to see how the game is played.

How many times you voted in elections?

my friend come back to planet earth.... we must help Africa.... You preach your a man of god and yet you will let these people suffer. and yes aid money would help develop their economy.

I happened to know something about economy as well. African governments should receive no money at all from Europe or America. This is not helpful at all, even opposite. We should trade with them, abolish many trade barriers. One could of course send private cash to some useful organizations working over there.

Kings were not masters, at least not always... You have the wrong image of a king. Even a king had to make alliances and he could not always afford to alienate the church. However this doesn't matter because it doesn't change the fact that the church did not accept sepration of church and state eagerly, it was more like becaue they had no choice.

Of course that king were the masters and need for alliances does not change this, today's governments are also involve countries into different alliances and have in fact much more to say than old monarchs. As far as separation is concentrated, this is your opinion not based on evidence.

Well according to RCC, however the reality is quite differant. Creationalism is primarily used to be an alternative to the theory of evolution. Creationalism is used so we reject evolution.

Well for one, depending on the forms of creationisms because there are several.

We discuss primarily about RCC, I don't know and care less what Muslims or Hindu people think about it.

wrong..........

What was before Big Bang? What caused Big Bang? How could Big Bang create a life from nothing? Perhaps a God caused Big Bang? :) Fundamental questions without answer...

I know where your heading with this.... Good point.... Yes I adovate that the unborn child has rights. However in case of rape the sin of abortion rests with only the father who committed the rape and not with the innocent mother(who had no choice to being raped). So I still see all abortion as sin but in case of rape where there is abortion only the rapist and not the raped commits the sin of abortion.

You raise religious aspect of sin, while from religious perspective one sin doesn't justify another. Beside of that from legal point of view one person cannot be punished for wrongdoings of other. While you would allow the child to be killed a criminal will continue his miserable life with human right activists monitoring whether he wont be punished too severely and taxpayers forced by politicians founding him luxury conditions in hotel (sorry prison!).

Are you serious that this is impossible........ I can list you a couple American president's who were for abortion yet while they were in term the country has experienced huge economic growth, reduction in debt, better healthcare and education reforms. Come on dude, be serious you know this is not true...

I'm deadly serious, politicians cheat you, promise heaven and proclaim to be success everything what they did. In the first country they say that they want copy perfect model of second country and in this second country they say that they want to copy perfect model of this first country. While when you talk with people from other countries they say that their model sucks as well. Politicians want just to create more jobs in public sphere for their palls in bureaucratic apparatus. How many years people can buy these empty promises? The highest time to destroy this bubble.

Good point, unfortunately money makes the world go round.... Look at poor African nations who have no money to feed there people... Poverty, disease and crime is rampant. So yes money can't buy everything but it sure can buy a lot..

Money don't solve any problems, Africans must take care of their problems themselves and Europeans and Americans should rather concentrate to not spoil their effort. Spanish empire collapsed when they gained control over American gold.

today's governments are also involve countries into different alliances and have in fact much more to say than old monarchs.

In case you didn't know throughout the middle ages the Church was linked to government. Popes had power of governments. The church did not voluntarily give up this power, they had no choice but to accept it.

This is age of kings and they were the masters. Of course they could not afford to waste talents of educated clergy.

Creationism according to RCC doesn't reject evolution. Here is stance of the Polish bishops

Evolution in science when we talk about biological process. Big Bang theory is not based on evidence, like creationism it is a belief. Simplicity of both theories is very similar.

As for the church they should teach the truth, if there's evidance that creastionsim is a lie why teach it?

No such evidence exist, provide one if you can...

Why because I believe that a childis innocentand had no choice to be created as for the mother and father they had the choice to have sex or not.

There is a logical hole here. You write about innocent child, a human. If so, like every innocent human being this child have some fundamental rights, for example a right to life. You cannot punish one person for wrong-doings of others. If you deny such child right to life, this will backfire sooner or later because precedent exist and other groups might be targeted later. Biologically there is no basic difference between unborn children. If you divide them on some groups where one are allowed to be born while others not then this is your irrational (because emotional) decision not a scientific fact.

Here's a hypothetical for you.... Let's say you have a politican where you know that he would stamp out all corruption, bring in the highest economic growth in a decade, improve health care, improve education, improve the whole country.... Would you not vote for him just because he supports abortion.... No need to answer I already know the answer to that.....

This is impossible. A person who fails to understand basic social issues or is morally so twisted could not run the country with such outcome. On other hand slogans like "improve health care or education" are typically populist, politician who raise them these days is a liar and cannot be trusted. Do you have such dilemma? :)

Anyway what is worth more for a Christian innocent life (Decalogue) or money (Judaszowe srebrniki?)? You cannot buy everything.

Don't know, don't care.... But Im sure you will tell me.....

Before you start criticizing you should learn at least your opponent reasons.

There isn't one your right... But not because of the Church.... but because the people demanded it.... I never heard of the Church every adovacating such a position...

Church exist much longer than democracies and still you cannot show one example from the past. You have no slightest evidence to make such judgment.

They might not exclude it but they sure don't teach it..... They only teach creationism...

Creationism don't exclude evolution and otherwise. These are two different subjects, biology teachers don't talk about creationism as well. When creationism is clearly based on belief, evolution pretends to be science. So obviously you make contradictory claims, blame the church for not teaching about evolution and on other hand you don't want the church be involved in science. You cannot have both ways...

Like I said already, I don't support all the positions of politicans as I don't support all the positions of the church...... however doesn't mean I can't support either of them because they have many positions that I do agree with....

I think Poland's abortion stance is perfect....... Only in cases of rape or medical reasons...

Help me to understand your point. Why do you oppose abortion, what is the reason?
This is very simple issue if you use logical reasoning.

Here's a hypothetical for you....

I will answer just after I learn about your reason to oppose abortion.

There stance on condoms....... There stance on no sex before marriage, etc I can still list more if your intrested...

I fail to see how these position may negatively affect a country. Lack of per-marriage sex would save many Africans if they would stick to church's teachings. Even if you don't follow this you could hardly claim that somebody who has different opinion could not live well . While the country should stick its nose to personal decisions of individuals. This sort of issues could no be regulated from the top anyway.

First Church is against abortion even if a person is raped.....

Do you know how they explain this position?

Second look at muslim nations where there is no seperation of church and state, it just breeds extremetism.

Please... Show me one Christian state without such separation, when bishops run the country like Mullahs? Please provide a link to official stand of the Catholic Church advocating for such solution? (Don't even bother, no such statements have been made) This is de facto populist pseudo-argument raised by the left during election campaigns.

hirdly church doesn't believe in evolution.

Wrong again, Catholic Church don't deny evolution as long somebody don't claim that this theory exclude creationism. While from scientific point of view nobody ever proved that theory of evolution exclude theory of creationism.

Fourthly Church and Science don't mix very well.

You have no idea that in the past the church ran education in Europe and students somehow did not complain. Priest Nicolaus Copernicus (educated in such school) and many others would disagree with you. Personally I don't care who announcing some scientifically proved theory. Beside of that the clergy rather don't work on professional carrier these days.

There's many others.

Don't hesitate to post them. :)

First they respect abortion in case of rape. Second they respect seperation of church and state. They believe in evolution(whoever doesn't is a fu*ken idiot). They respect science. and many others.

They are for abortion on demand, so how a Christian could vote on them? The rest of your sentence was proved wrong above.

Bravo, Julie. I don't think there's anything wrong with Poles having a special place for JPII that no other man or Pope can replace. He meant so much to Poland, for us there is John Paul II and then there is every other Pope. No disrespect, but JPII is on a different level.

Indeed this is nothing wrong because for Polish people he was more than Pope. However people who somehow mentally transfer their liking of JPII to disliking of BXVI seriously lost their way...

What inconsistency.... You can be a Catholic and vote Clinton..... what are you saying a Catholic can only vote for a Catholic. Good explanation is, she doesn't agree with all of Clinton's views or she doesn't agree with all of the churches views. Doesn't mean she can't support both.

Oh really? So I'm sure that you and Julie wont have any problem to answer for following question.

If Christians are unwilling to vote for candidates who would stand in defense of the Christian values then whom other people would do this? (We are talking about crucial issues not any trivial disagreements!)

I support Obama and he's muslim ......

This comment exposed your lack of knowledge of the US politics. Obama all the time repeating that he is a Christian. You don't know even this about politician that you are supposed to support. Of course in fact like Hillary he is an atheist, his political platform at this point is very similar with Clinton.

Anyway, you defend so much neocon offensive policy and now claiming to be supporter of Obama who is supposed to oppose this?

Good people can be found in all faiths.

A banal, however I can assure you that among top politicians a chance to find such person is very tiny.

Nothing better would be for this country than a President and a Vice President from two differant parties...

This is realistically impossible, whole system is based on this that these two parties are in opposition to each other. In fact this is the greatest success of both parties that they convinced Americans that their candidates are the only electable. If they would work together immediately some other parties would wish to fill this lack of opposition. This is something that neither Democratic or Republican establishment would risk.

I expect the Pope to reunite the fractured CHURCH, duh.

Indeed, you have high expectation! What would you figure our if Crow would not mention this issue? :) Pope has the same chance to reunite this almost 1000 years division during his lifetime like modern pan-Slavists to create Slavdrom during their lifetimes. First of all, all sides must to be willing to reunite (in Russia they don't have even political blessing!) and what is more to overcome some important theological differences. This is highly difficult and delicate problem and not any trivial case to solve in near future. BXVI made step towards Traditional Catholics as I mentioned earlier and this mission is indeed possible to accomplish in near future.

You are a fool, to say I can't support Hillary, and be a Catholic, lol.

You can be a Catholic by name only or just politically immature person. JPII who you are supposed to admire so much, called a certain element openly represented on her political platform "civilization of death". Thus you make contradictory claims, don't you see this inconsistence?

I also never said I'd be drunk with happiness over anyone's demise. The Pope is an an old man, not young.

lesser, obviously YOU don't belong in this debate, since you are so eager to toss all of us out, who don't fit into your little cookie cutter world.

Third day I try to find out what is your point but you don't want to provide any details except empty slogans. You don't answer the questions at all, when I point it out you pretend to be offended victim and find it as another excuse to avoid explaining your point. You have no courage even to admit that your allegation about BXVI childhood was false. If by debate you understand avoiding answers and writing empty slogans then indeed I don't belong to such debate...

In other thread you appear to be Clinton fan, here claim to be Catholic. What is the reason of this inconsistence? You don't know Clinton political agenda or teaching of the Catholic church? Because these two things don't go along...

As far as reunion is concentrated, it is completely unrealistic to expect that a Pope (no matter who) would succeed here. If this is possible at all then this is issue of future centuries. JPII as well known anti-communist had no chance in talks with AlexyII from Russia who was an KGB agent and actually is Putin's right hand. This is not in political interest of Kremlin to extend influence of the Vatican to Russia, they already have their fully controlled religious leader.

I don't trust this Pope; but no fears; he will die out soon enough, replaced by another!

You will be drunk from the happiness if this happen? This is kinda statement that one could not expect from a Catholic.
