Feedback / Where all those male/female signs went? [9]

Dear Mr. Bzibzioh and Miss jump_bunny,

Your question has been an on going topic behind the scenes here at PF for many years and we have decided to do away with this particular indicator as it is not deemed necessary to distinguish sexes while contributing to the forum.

Due to on going pressure from the comity of anti-discrimination based on sexual orientation. It has been made clear that categorising people and dividing them in to 'sexes' is a sexist act in itself.

Even if the individual is doing it to themselves, as it discriminates all those who are attracted to the same sex, feel like the other sex, all those who have recently gone through sex changing operations (including all those that want the said operation) and all those that are just to lazy to check which sex they are and too stupid to remember. Also the artist formally known as prince was going to sue PF for not having his particular symbol.

Many kind regards for your inquiery.
If you have any further questions please let us know and the PF team will be more than happy to explain every little thing that goes on.

I suggest bringing your family over in Spring. It can get as low as minus 30 here but it is rare.
I would estimate average winter temperature to be between minus 10 to 15.
But it gets warm during summer, although not as warm as Mumbai, I am sure :)
I would say summer time averages at about plus 26 degrees here.

I also strongly recommend learning Polish, as you might feel alienated if you are not able to talk to people.

I also suggest living in a city because it is more likely you will find people that speak English and other languages.

If you have any other questions just ask.

Hello PSK,

And welcome to the Polish forums.
Where in India are you from?


Will you be working on the engineering of the roads? just out of curiosity, as Poland is doing huge works here using E.U. funding to build and re-pare motorways.

So I can not answer your question as unemployment is still high here but not as high as it used to be.


It is coming in to winter here, so be prepared for cold weather and snow over the next few months.


I am sure you will find something.

That is exactly NOT what mediums are saying and that is my exact point.
They are using other peoples grief, shame and hurt to manipulate them and deceive them.
A lot of them are scumbag con-artists who tell you lies about your dead relatives.


Have you looked, honestly? or are you trying to make a point without knowing the facts?

I was just watching Darren Brown being able to meet someone (a psychic) and told them to draw a picture in the next room and he was able to say what it was she had drawn, a number of times. He is not psychic.

Have a watch, i am not sure how he does it but he is not psychic and does not talk to spirits, it is a trick.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


What exactly?


or that I think you are full of it, it is a silly question.
If I used a trick and i could tell you something no body else could ever know about you, what would you think?


Cry beer :)

How did Darren Brown talk to the dead in that youtube link I provided?

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]

You will have to give me exact details for starters.
I think you are working from the inside out, you believe and you want to create an example that has no answers because you do not want any.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


They are being conned.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


that's right, that is why your example of Ted Bundy is not a great one.
But your example of to imagine how, in 5000 years time, that they will look back on the savages that we are is for me a very interesting idea.


So are you admitting that your beliefs will only last a while that they will die out?

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


On that same false logic, it would be 'reasonable' to assume that human sacrifice is okay because so many people from so many different parts of the world did it.

That is not rational, that is just believing people are doing what they tell you they believe they are doing.


The religion of one age is the literary entertainment of the next.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


Very good question, very bad example.
Using reasoning and rational thinking it is still wrong to allow a man to murder people.
But hopefully we will be able to understand serial killers and prevent them from murdering someday.


That is all a matter of who and why you murdered them and of course they called it kill, justified or a gift, not murder.


For sure parts of the world that we consider civilized today were not always this safe.

There are many witch hunts, gladiators, dictators, superstitions (remember the blare witch project?:) and so called 'justified' killings today.


There is enough mystery in this life to keep us all very busy for all our lives without this bull con-artist crap, it is just a distraction.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


So you are arguing that there is not enough proof that people commuted ritual human sacrifice because I did not see it,even though there is physical evidence and entertain the idea that people saw ghosts?

And maybe these grieving people deserve to be ripped off? naw mate.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


No problem!

I'll stick with Human sacrifice then,

The Ancient Egypt, Phoenicia, Levant, Europe, Neolithic Europe, Greco-Roman Antiquity, Celts, Germanic peoples, Magyars, Slavic peoples, China, India, Pacific, Pre-Columbian Americas, Mesoamerica, South America, North America and West Africa all belived in it's power therefore it must be true.

It is a matter of belief :)

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


You mean 'belief' don''t you?


Assuming it happened??
It is well documented from all over the planet at various times, see link above.
You know darn well it happened and that people, didn't using reason or rational thought believed that if they made the greatest sacrifice of all, human life, that the gods would be nice to them, it is a kind of spiritual bribery.


The only people I am calling liars are the scum that con grieving people out of their money.


That's why examination of evidence is vital, not just a belief because well you know, that's the way the world is because someone told me and he knows a guy who knows a guy....

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]

Where is the proof?
Show me the proof.
So you can prove that human sacrifices do not appease the gods?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice
There's the Celts and Slavic peoples in there and all :)

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]

So are you saying that the sacrifice, torturing and murdering of an innocent victim is equal to you not believing in it?

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]

So you think something as cruel as torturing and murdering an innocent victim is expectable because it is fashionable???


Some people believe in unicorns, it means nothing and comes back to my point about the validity of certain avenues.

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


I don't think it is always about telling the truth or not, I think a lot of people need to believe it and think they are telling the truth.

Judgement, now there's a word.
How do you make a judgement call?


What??? no it doesn't.

There are many different avenues of explanation for things but they do not all carry the same validity.
Very many people from different cultures from different periods and different parts of the world, used to believe that sacrificing humans would appease the gods, do you think they were correct?

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]

So your argument, if I understand this correctly, is that I should not question or search for an answer because it is beyond my comprehension and I should except some mediums as the genuine article and not use reason or rational thinking at all?

Life / Haunted Homes in Poland [173]


I did not mention that because i have not heard a medium say anything about that but yep of course you're right.


Oh, because it sounds to me like you are tired of posting something like this and me debunking it fair and square.

Sure believe whatever you want but this is a forum and I will challenge it if I think it is appropriate.
My only advise is, don't give them any money.

Most of us will see our grandparents and parents die and we have to come to terms with our own mortality.
I certainly do not believe in mediums and other con-artists, the horoscope is a good example of pure crap, if you really really really want it to fit, sure it will.

These things create there own realities and I don't really care if it is 'just for fun' but when these guys use people's grief and loss to make a quick buck, that is the lowest of the low.

Some people like watching magic tricks to be in awe of the mysterious performance, others like it because they are always thinking "I know it is a trick, so how the heck did he do that???" :)

Say what now?


Nope not a chance, I think these charlatan Mediums are some of the biggest scumbags around as they use people's grief to con them out of money.
