News / Poles, Polonians and aliens on Pussy Riot? [182]

are indivisible your other examples are divisible. Human rights are universal in time and place.

I find much of the outrage at jailing ***** Riot hypocritical, the clear exercise of double standards especially among the "hang em and flog em brigade". Putin bad, West good is just too simple an equation.

The special position the church claims for its self ( being divinely inspired ) means that they must exercise self restraint when making political pronouncements otherwise they would be claiming that God supports a political party which is clearly nonsense. The lecturer doesn't claim divine inspiration nor does the taxi driver.

She wants to know about Polish law, it’s a civil law system a system that was first codified under Napoleon.
It’s different to common law.

A bit of Poland with no land border to the rest of the country...if so its very interesting.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

The Red army had about 30-34 million men the allies sent 450,000 vehicles including tractors motorbikes etc (over the same period) there was 196 million people to feed. There is no way the so called aid, some paid for in gold most in blood, made a significant difference.

o5m6.de/index.html - There is a great wee site that details the numbers of vehicles etc and their usefulness to the Red Army.

There is a lot of rewriting of history going on a lot to downplay the USSR's role in defeating their former allies (the Nazis).

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]


There is a certain amount of truth in that, in that the Red army did defeat the Germans almost unaided however the Stalinist system that was imposed after the war is a different matter.


Thats not true 800 tonnes a day were needed for the cut off army, the German delivered less than half that for the period.

The USSR received about 10 million tonnes in total over 4 years

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]


It was miniscule, from memory the German 6th army received more tonnage in the Kessel than was supplied to the Soviets by the west

My answer above wasnt a good answer...

Trying to make sense of the Stalinist years is a fruitless task, the only ones to blame (if you want to get stuck in that rut) are the stalinists and even then its not as cut and dry as it appears. A lot of people saw the ....................(self edited)

Blaming the western powers for not doing enough in the early days of the war is just silly. In the latter part of the war the Soviets had proved they could defeat the Germans by them selves and there was no way Britain or the US could stop Stalin.

You can ding dong backwards and forwards forever over actions/inactions forever but no country goes to war for altruistic motives irrespective of treaties signed.

Meaning that us in Western Europe have the narrative that ww1 and the following depression needed to be avoided at all costs, almost all political leaders lost family, a whole generation was lost changing the political landscape forever. We have had many years to work through this its still raw elsewhere.

We didnt have to live with stalinism, there is a lot of stuff to be worked out still.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]


I hope that is a joke, do you get all your information from google?

There was no sell out of Poland by the British there was nothing they could do about it.


Schomberg, perhaps not in a helmet but definitely German and commanding an invading British Army against a rightfully anointed King, does that count?

None of this makes sense Czarnecki is a Polish name not a Spanish name.

Love / Polish wife is threatening me to pay child support 1000zl per month. [40]


He hasn't said any of those things.

In all countries that have child support there is a minimum amount the parent without care is allowed before payments are deducted (if that is how it's done). After that it's usually a set percentage you must pay. It's very unlikely that it would be 50% of your income if you are an average earner (or less). These laws are supposed to allow both parents to have a meaningful relationship with the child provided the parent with care is reasonable though it's not pay per view.

In short it's unlikely you will get fleeced but you will have to pay something you should also want to pay something.

News / SUNDAY WITHOUT MASS IN POLAND - Judaeo-leftist Wyborcza gloats [165]


Yeah, it's absolute madness and a politically driven idea, nothing to do with interpretation of scripture. These same nuts deny everything that is rational. It wouldn't surprise me to discover that the rapture brigade would like to bring back ducking ponds.

Creationist stuff everywhere is frightening, everything from theme parks to the denial of climate change and all points inbetween. The strange hybrid that the Neocon fundamental Protestants and the need for Armageddon has thrown up is a particular case in point.

Teflcat did not say Jews murdered Jesus read the thread again.

Nickidewbear's post is ignorant on so many levels.


It depends on the context, why you would mention such incidental facts but not others such as waste size or shoe size for example

To me it sounds just as ridiculous to say the "corpulent owners of the newspaper" as it does the "Jewish owners of the newspaper" there is no need to mention it here it’s not relevant.
