Love / Polish traditions and customs in a relationship - payments [39]

Skubus, that is not a marriage.

I do see that if she was raised in poverty she might have issues around money but.....she needs to move on now.

do you have children? having small children with a stay-at-home mum would be the only scenario where the man should pay for everything, and that would be a temporary situation.

Listen to what people are telling you.

LOL I like the way you don't mince your words, smurf.

Love / Polish traditions and customs in a relationship - payments [39]


I think some Polish women have a very different attitude to Irish and British women and need to be reminded that it is 2016 and it is not reasonable to expect the man to pay for everything. It is not even possible these days unless the man is very rich.

To me it seems really weird as well. I think she needs telling that it is not 1956.

I know it sounds a bit annoying for me to say this, but did you not discuss this kind of thing beforehand?

If this is a typical attitude, no wonder so many Polish men like to marry British and Irish women...:D

Law / Advice on rights for an unborn child in Poland [23]


look I have been a parent for many years now, and I can assure you that according to European family law the only person who has 'rights' is the child. that is the reality.

Don't be so unkind to tell someone that they 'have all rights' because you are deluded and ill informed.

the only 'rights' you have are eg safeguard and promote the child's health, development and welfare.
Probably not what Pigsy has in mind.

Law / Advice on rights for an unborn child in Poland [23]


watch my lips....
Parents do not have 'rights'. Can you understand that?

Law / Advice on rights for an unborn child in Poland [23]


you don't have rights. The child has rights, the parents have responsibilities. And no offence intended, but knocking up a girl on holiday is not all that responsible is it?


Best to ask your babymother as you will be able to do nothing without her.

Study / Primary school education for children (PRIVATE) [14]


you see it is that kind of attitude that really ****** me off. It seems that if a kid is already good at something then they are considered to be better people and more deserving than other kids who are perfectly well behaved but don't score highly in an IQ test.

So would teaching a kid who didn't score highly in an IQ test be a 'waste of time'?
Vile attitudes really.

to be honest if I couldn't afford a proper private school I would stay away from those crappy little cheap ones, whatever country I was in.

context


it means insulting the royal family I think.
for example In October 2007, a 47-year-old man was sentenced to one week imprisonment and fined €400 for, amongst other things, lèse-majesté in the Netherlands when he called Queen Beatrix a w.hore and told a police officer that he would have anal sex with her because "she would like it". (wiki)

yes you do have a point there. My son ended up in hospital with blood poisoning from that, in Poland.

What horrible things to say about people. Why on earth would you even be thinking like that , let alone writing it down on a public forum, and at the same time banging on about how wonderful and well travelled and cultured you are! Un-fecking-believable!

I think this thread should be zapped for being so very offensive to so many different people!

I will never forget when my ex arrived to collect the kids wearing socks and sandals.
When I had finally stopped laughing and had wiped the tears from my eyes I asked if he was not worried about the fashion police pulling him over.....

for some reason he then got really upset with me....

That is different Adrian, you are American (I guess from your words), and fair play to your family for working hard. In the case of these old Euro families, trust me, it is different.

Anyone who is grasping at straws by boasting about having some wrinkly old "princess" in the family needs telling, frankly.

Life / What don't you like about Poland or Polish People? [117]


I hate to tell you this, but that doesn't make them good people. IN fact quite the opposite. How did they get to be rich? by exploiting and killing people, that is how. Or possibly being a King's bumboy. I have some evil bankers in my family too,(just married in thank the Lord,) but I try to keep that to myself, as frankly I dont find people that made their money by raping and killing and exploiting anything to be proud of.

If you had watched your small child vomiting violently for hours, finally bringing up black bile, and then being unable to eat for weeks afterwards.....you might not be so convinced Delph.

I think there should be a rule against people without kids making silly generalisations about decisions that they will never have to make.

" Nobody is 'pushing' vaccination."

uh yeh they are, Jon. I know this as I have just been thro it all.
An HPV vaccination was practically forced onto my daughter at school (she was 13 at the time), even tho we had not given permission for her to have it. Personally I don't think schools are a place for mass experimentation of dodgy vaccines, but hey maybe that's just me.

Life / Polish culture versus rotten West [279]


yes, exactly.
When we lived on the south coast, the fear of child services was hellish.
Once I had them called as my children were seen two-up on a scooter leaving the school without me..:) (they were ten or eleven at the time). when I say 'scooter' I don't mean a moped!

Is it like that in different areas of Poland I wonder?

Life / Polish culture versus rotten West [279]


pretty much yes. I mean it is OK to take your children to a playpark and closely supervise them of course.
Certainly children cannot play outdoors in the same way that we did as kids.
The neighbours could well call child services even if they were in the playpark alone, even more likely if they were 'on the street'.
Although of course it does vary by area.

Life / Polish culture versus rotten West [279]

" staying glued to computer games instead of playing outdoors and getting fresh air and exercise."

that is all very well, Pollie, but I can assure you that if I had let my children 'play outdoors' I would have had child services hammering at the door. That is how it is in the UK these days, which only follows the USA.

No point in harking back to some non existent golden age anyway.

ahhh Tin Lizzy - pure genius!


ha ha ha, yes another godawful band! I "think" I may have seen them live at Gay Pride circa 1997 - on the other hand I may not have - much of the 90s was like that...:)

I wonder which Polish bands make people go "ahhhh yes - fantastic times". what about Dzem?

" I don't think it was about his ego, I believe he was genuine."

Geldof's ego is massive. However I do agree that he was probably quite genuine in his desire to 'raise pennies for the little black babies' (lol). Just he was startlingly naïve.

Quite a balanced article about the Live Aid money, even if it is 10 years old.

theguardian.com/world/2005/jun/24/g8.debtrelief

Could I just add for the sake of it, the Boomtown Rats were a godawful band, unbelievably bad and talentless.
You can see this clearly when watching old re-runs of Top of the Pops (a lovely show invented by ...mm...interesting people).
How on earth were they successful?
Just saying.

Life / Polish culture versus rotten West [279]


you know what Ktos, that is the first post of yours that I agree with 100 per cent.
"Live aid" was a self aggrandising scam...:)
I actually doubt if any of the money went to the 'right' places.
