News / Poland and Germany - Germany unhappy with the present border with Poland? [88]

That in 1951 Poland claimed territory which had been Polish before WWII.

who and where?

Silesian "uprisings" anyone?

Well, I was thinking about eastern border ...
Should give us border from 1772 and nobody would be complaining, and asking for compensation for 120 years of occupation.
And uprisings were real expression of the feelings of local population.

From 1944 until 1948, between 13.5 and 16.5 million Germans were expelled, evacuated or fled from Central and Eastern Europe, making this the largest single instance of ethnic cleansing in recorded history.

Who live by the sword, by the sword die - or something like that!

The Polish government and the area around Ustrzyki Dolne.

You mean Soviet puppets?

The expelled were civilians, not soldiers...women and children mostly who never used a "sword"!

Germans started ethnic cleansing and were fighting to death - should expect some retaliations.

Or are ethnic cleansing only bad if the expelled and killed are Poles?

phew !!

And I really would like a link to that...where do you have this from?

Love / Polish men and Filipino women [73]

It's up to individuals

News / Polish priest publishes sex guide [97]

Why not? A prostitue deals with a wider variety of partners than an average person. The best person to learn from if one wants to try out something new.

What do you want to learn from prostitute? New positions?
?Or how to please your customer? but it comes with practice, so in order to really learn from a prostitute you need to become one.

Maybe you are talking about theory, but to know and to teach - are two different things.

A priest has got neither knowledge about sex or experience in it. Why don't we tell some virgin car mechanic to write a book on sex. The same qualifications.

Catholic priest deal with a human being as a whole and from the catholic point of view, if you please. You may disagree with catholic point of view but to deny a priest qualifications to speak about sex -which is a part of human nature - it is a prejudice or a ignorance.

I completely agree with Switezianka, another case of a priest using his moral standing to venture into unknown territory and try to influence people's decisions. When will they ever learn? He should have put it into a spoof series :)

See what I meant - you are a bit prejudicial !!!:))))
bingo

Without reading one cannot really dispute the content but it could be save to presume that is not a book about technical stuff as it seems to be taken for granted.

More likely it is about psychological aspects of sexual life and I say that is no much different from what "civil" specialist offers.

I also contest a very popular view that priest cannot advice people about sexual life.
Whats about a doctor dealing with mentally ill patient, using the same "logic" as displayed above, the doctor should be sick as well.

History / Western Europe and America vs Russia WWII - chances of Poland being saved [494]

Would have like to see you run when you had to face our best troops which were tied down in the East instead of old sick men and kids...

He got a point!

Stalin didn't need you, he was wining a war on his own.USA were there to make sure that all Europe wont be red and soviet.

As for Hitler he was an incompetent moron if not for blind German obedience he would not survive long, although he was brilliant PR-man.

Without the $11.3 billion of miltary hardware transfered to the Soviet Union under the US Lend Lease programme Stalin would have run out of hardware long before Soviet industry developed enough production capacity to supply the Soviet war effort until 20 September 1945 when all Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union was terminated.

Soviets had the best arms and munitions in the world.

Read" Suicide" by Suvorov - most enlightening!

...all opportunists. Had Germany won all would have fighted for some crumbs from the table.

Oh gee !
Are you reliving in the past "glory" I got news for you there was nothing glorious in that war and specially nothing glorious about German part of the story.

As for your Allies - same old story - stop whining man !

News / Polish priest publishes sex guide [97]

Prejudicial my a*s. Why didn't he write it independent of his priest status?

What wrong with his priest status ? He write it for Catholic to tell them is OK to enjoy sex in marriage!
You are not Catholic, nobody is forcing you to enjoy sex, what is eating you?
I would say that you have developed allergic reaction to the priests& religion etc - hence you are prejudicial.
Hey nobody is perfect! LOL

The thole idea of a prostitute writing a sex guide is about the fact that she/he knows more techinque, positions and stuff. The aim of reading such a book is finding something new, something I've never done with my husband and trying it out. And even if we are a couple with some experience before the marriage, it's little probable than both my husband and I have as much experience as a prostitute, so still I can find something we've never done before.

Well, for one a prostitute could be bad in bed and her knowledge about pleasing a man could be very limited, so it depends on an individual.

Secondly you can find a lot of books and stuff to teach you about technique, position etc
But you still missing a point - i PRESUME the book is about psychological stuff!

What you are saying above is highly theoretical stuff and the best way to please your husband is to ask him.
As for priests - there priests doctors, historians, soldiers, engineers - and those with only seminary education they study psychology, and dealing with people problem, listen to confections - they have they share of experience too!

From your questions I presume you don't know much about you are against.

News / Polish priest publishes sex guide [97]

WOW, I bet they feel empowered and enabled now ;) ;) Who gives him the right to tell people what they should and shouldn't do in their own married lives? Marriage is a consensual relationship between 2 people, predicated on love and sustainability, one manifestation of that through sex. No room for 3rd parties ;) ;) ;) Do these people not have a moral compass? ;) What other divine green light should we be seeking? :)

See What I mean ?
I don't know how they feel but to presume for a while that despite being priest one is also good human being( I know Seanus it not possible in your book).

Nobody if you are not Catholic you don't give a dam - it is surprise to me that you are so concerned about something you should not care!

One would expect a Polish priest to know bugger all about sex....

personal experience? please share .....

I find it amusing that someone who has no knowledge of the topic, can preach to others about what they should do, funniest thing I've heard in ages.

Well, you must be a sad man.
What about politicians then?Are they not amusing ? Or people with no knowledge of the topic but with ready answers? Are they not amusing?
Anyone so wise and might ready to TELL other what to do or not, giving opinion and advices for free. Yet at the same time they refuse the same right to catholic priests ! - Are they not amusing ?

Everyone should have right to speak as long as nobody is forced to obey!
What wrong with that?

Lighten up Ironside. Just a chuckle.

Did I come across as a death serious?
Well, my fault!!!!
I don't like to fiddle about with all this lol ))))) - and so on ....stuff !
Believe me I'm a very calm person with a sense of humor, I'm sensible as well (at last I flatter myself ).))))))

And I have a distance to above discission as I'm not an ardent Catholic as you may be lead to believe!
Generally speaking I enjoyed above and other discussion and I'm sorry you may think otherwise!
The only person on this forum which really **** me off !!! shitbird !!!

But never the less I'm smiling !)))

I support his right to publish a book. But, if I am looking for medical advice, I will go to a doctor, not a landscape architect.

I thought you are a ghost with no need of a medical help?!

News / Polish priest publishes sex guide [97]

What I'm saying very clearly is that he is just another human being to some of us. You may elevate him to sth more than that and that's your choice.

Well, he is another human being! Why are you surprised?
I did not elevate him to sh more, the others were trying to belittle him because of him being a priest!

Ironside, you just don't get it. Why should this guy be singled out from any other author who cares to write about this topic? The only reason I can think of is that everyone is surprised that a priest would write such a book.

#surprised they were because they hold stereotypical view about RCC and sex!
Another reason it may be that for Catholics that book maybe interesting as he is backed by the Church in presenting his view on sex in marriage.

The only chance of a bestseller in England would be if the guy was named Mike Hunt ;) ;)

Is it still legal in England to kill a Catholic priest with a stiletto?
And as a Scotsman you better no carry bow and arrows in certain town:

As long as he doesn't start preaching about what we should be doing, rather than what we could be doing, I'm fine with it.

I'm sure Catholic all over the World with the Pope in the first place are relived .....)))))))

Not unless there is a full moon and a man is wearing it, oh they have to be sling-backs and red.

Sh*t law is getting complicated ....is that progress ?

Get over It Seanus! You are being childish.
I have said what I wanted to say on the subject and I lost interest in discussing it further.
And your obsession with religion and priests is not concern of mine.

Whew

News / Child with Polish ex, is 275 Euros a normal amount for child maintenance? [53]

So do you think im getting a raw deal or is that quite a normal price to pay?

200€ per month is not huge sum in Poland and considering your earnings and all a think you got a fair deal!
Have you been married while indulging yourself into that relationship?

News / Child with Polish ex, is 275 Euros a normal amount for child maintenance? [53]

I dont disagree with the law per se, only in cases where the woman disowns the man and doesnt want him to see the child.. why should she then expect money from him.. and if she gets married or lives with someone else, why should they not pay for their child together as a family.. to me this seems more normal.

To get away from welfare state it would be wise to got back to normal and not pay for a child born out of wedlock at all!

It doesn't matter if they are married or not. Once a child is born it exists and it is owed support from some source. Ideally it's the parents unless society lets them get away without paying.

mother should support child born out of wedlock or whomever if not adoption is an option !

News / Child with Polish ex, is 275 Euros a normal amount for child maintenance? [53]

So it's only her fault that they didn't use protection? Or didn't have sex, or whatever. I have never heard anyone in my whole life with that kind of opinion.

I'm not judging anyone, all I'm saying that if we have an adult who is free to do as he/she please in the boundaries of the law than is clear and logical to me that consequences of said adult should be his/her alone!

Why taxpayers and other people should be involved ?
But if you ask why only mother should be responsible:
- contraception
- abortion
- adoption
those options are open for her - as she is well aware that having sex may lead to pregnancy- hers not her partner!
Do you have problem with it? #

To All: The OP asked about child maintenance and whether 275E was too much...and nothing else.

Get back our land.

It continues to be beautiful and always will be. I love my city. :)

Your city ? I think you lie N as you have never lived there!
And buildings in Lwów are not properly maintained, a few more years and will be in ruins.

Most of the towns in the former German territories were destroyed and were rebuild, and most of the towns left in the lost polish territories were left almost intact by the war.

Whats more in the area of Wilno where still are Polish majority Lithuanian government refuses give back property - mostly land - to Poles, Lithuanians were given property back long time ago - bastards !

Oh and without the treaty which gave you a country and new unfair borders all these towns would still stand in old glory!

What? Are you claiming that Polish-German border after WWI was unfair ?

what do you mean by that, Gdansk was build by the Poles?

It's mean that major part of the old town was build when Gdansk was a part of Polish Kingdom !
