Life / First communion - it's that time of year again in Poland! [109]

To attempt to change it because you don't like where the theory leads is the height of retardation.

The theory sits as it does, Darwin makes no judgment that is what others have done. A racist will attempt to make ridiculous claims for the theory.

Social Darwinism is just waffle which attempts to provide some sort of scientific veneer by using Darwin's name, it is not scientific

Genealogy / Looking for wanted person (Arkadiusz Sobota / Marzena Helena Sobota) [76]

Unfortunately there is not much he can do after signing the car over and cancelling the insurance. The lack of a transferencia is going to be his best option its not great but you know that backward system that they have in Spain may have some merit.

Barney maybe you can contribute to the forum with some bright ideas based on your living experience in Spain and complete knowledge of all things Polish :-)

Or I could attempt to be sarcastic because Spain or Poland are not the same as England.

Genealogy / Looking for wanted person (Arkadiusz Sobota / Marzena Helena Sobota) [76]

I spent four years living in Spain

I also lived in Spain and that part of Spain for a considerable period and encountered a lot of fellow immigrants who complained about the same "backward system" and that the locals all talked foreign.

As for registering a car in Spain this was never discussed so why bring it up...

If you are selling a car in Spain you must do the transferencia I know cos I bought and sold several cars in Spain so it is very relevant. Signing the car over to a third party for sale almost always means that the seller is trying to avoid the tax.

The owners were silly and I am as sure as I can be that they will not see their car again.

kondzior you talk absolute bollox, throwing a few words together in a pathetic attempt to impress does not make for a coherent post.

Take racism for instance, which was a perfectly natural and "rational" consequence of Darwinism, as was slavery.

That means nothing it's just a self pleasuring piece of nonsense. Do you want to make any type of argument to support your ridiculous claim? That crap is followed by this garbage.

Every single evil action committed by Europeans has its origin in liberalism. And i mean every single one, no exception. This includes all the evils committed by the Church.

You may be able to understand what you type but I'll be fuked if anyone else has the slightest idea of what you are trying to say.

Its incoherent rubbish

Edit

"great" argument

You really want me to start discussing the lunatic you quoted?

What a load of bull

It's irrelevant whether I agree with Polson or not, what you posted is total rubbish. You can try and pass it off as some great metaphysical cannon or high brow critique but its self serving bollox completely devoid of merit.

Liberals clinically mad, concludes top psychiatrist

I haven't encountered anyone as deranged as you since that mental case this morning

Spain is a wee bit backward when it comes to these things, I believe the car is officially stolen at the point it is reported to the Police and file a missing report.

Spain is not in the least bit backward when it comes to these things. To buy or sell a car in Spain you must complete a transferencia which involves going to the police to ensure their are no fines outstanding (which follow the car) and it's a legal sale with all taxes paid. It is a perfectly good system that works but is just different to England's.

Reporting a vehicle as stolen is exactly the same as in England.

This man has been conned and I doubt he will ever see his car again

unfortunately metaphysics cannot be explained using cartoons

It was garbage dressed for dinner.

The morality in an absolute. It stems directly from God

Nonsense, to make a moral judgment you must be measuring that something against your moral code.

There is more than one moral code and not all stem from God. Any code that claims to come directly from God must do so either via religion which is man made or directly to the individual. If directly to the individual that individual must measure the "God given code" against the old "God given code" (if morality comes from God as you insist)

I was trying to make it simple for you. When I elaborate you are unable to comprehend it.

Complete and utter horsefeathers you typed babble that made no sense.

The only thing that is difficult to comprehend is exactly what is it that you are trying to say.

To make a moral judgement on something, anything requires a measuring stick, you say religion is the foundation of morality I ask what are you measuring it against.

Simple enough, Barney?

Its simple alright

Greece and Rome existed before Christianity
Why does civilisation need faith in invisible things?

Saying something is fact doesnt make it a fact

You are just making things up.

That is just nonsense, you said clearly that western morality comes from Christianity which is nonsense as you conceded.

You are now tying yourself in knots with more rubbish that doesn't make sense

Fear of God is the only legitimate morality

Surly love of god would be a better starting point if you are going to insist upon a theistic foundation

The original *sin* of mankind is to love the world more then God exactly. The point of a religion is to rectify this tendency in the human soul, a tendency caused by the original fall. You cannot be "saved" and be a humanist at the same time.

That is just psycho babble nonsense

I never said that Christianity was the source of our civilization.

You did in post No 21

Yet, all western morality comes from Christianity. Europeans weren't exactly a beacon of brotherly love and peace before the Church begun to spread it's influence beyond the alps.

Morality is independent of religion

I said, western morality.

.......comes from christianity which is 2000 years old. Do you believe that there was no morality in the west before then?

there can be no morality, or for that matter, civilisation, without religion.

Really, you believe that?

UK, Ireland / What does English sound like to the Poles? [30]

I bet most of you can't tell the difference between the French spoken in Paris in the one spoken in Marseille.

I do........ I'll tell you a daming when I get back from ma daming with my mal reing:)

What I mean is that they don't speak like people there were in their youth, anymore.

You are correct neither sound in any way Welsh, just like Wogan doesn't sound in any way Irish, I was surprised to discover that he was Irish.

Nothing beats a good rattle of Andalusian Spanish perhaps my fav European accent

Which certainly exists

Which is exactly my point.
Processing/locking the difference is what exactly? To process humans on a remote island necessitates incarcerating them on that island and is fundamentally inhuman.

Leaving out your bitter way of phrasing it, what you've described is the way of the world

There is no bitterness Jon, warszawski wrote there in no differences in society and advancement comes directly from the will to achieve, that is patently untrue. It’s a self congratulatory description of the world.

What is the difference between class division and wealth division considering that culture or lack there off has been thrown as a description for those at the lower end?

UK, Ireland / Benefit cuts for Poles in The UK? [143]

You said

The quality of the British debate is so poor that we almost never look at this from the point of view of the low-waged worker. After every budget, the IFS will dutifully work out if it has been “fair” – ie, gives the most to the poorest. The LibDems will judge a budget by this metric.

you also railed against the tax system and called for Polish people to be put on a Scottish Island.

The parents can still avail of Child Tax Credit for each child in further eduucation up to their 20th birthday,

Now you want to extend benefit culture?

Something doesn’t compute.
Do you want to extend the benefit system or not?

History / WWII - who really was the first to help Poland? [900]

I understand that you don't like the guy

Nothing to do with liking or disliking the man.

It’s impossible to view Churchill without taking subsequent events into account.
Firstly and most importantly France and Britain were in no position economically or militarily to start a war.

His self promotion and constantly changing political stance plus his habit of reacting to events made him more akin to an op ed writer than a strategist.
