From the Polish Eagle's point of view it is facing to the right. (stage right). From an audience view it is the reverse.

UK, Ireland / Polish Family stabbed to death in St Helier. [40]


More often than not, men who kill their spouses (and sometimes the kids) do it because they were in the process of divorce or were told by the woman that she wanted a divorce. A woman will also tell her spouse that he "won't see the kids anymore ", etc. At this point the man 'feel's that he has lost everything. If mentally disturbed, he will murder.

There can be no rehabilitation for someone like this. Permanent prison is the only logical treatment. No defense justifies such a horrific crime.

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

I laughed at the comments about corn. Years ago my then wife and I were invited to the capital for a governors dinner. There were only 8 of us sitting at the table. One of the women (a German who obtained American citizenship) wouldn't eat the sweet corn. She said that it was for animals. Her husband (a Pole who also was naturalized) looked embarrassed at her loud comment. Another person explained to her that it was a popular edible food. She still wouldn't eat it.

So they are no longer colonizing people in Africa and Asia? Now that was real racism.
Additionally, Poles were never involved in the slave trade and indeed were enslaved themselves. Just some food for thought for you.

This proves we need more female long haul truckers. Perhaps 50% should be the goal. After all, aren't many women complaining about "equality"? Once on the road they can learn to change tires, and fix any small engine repairs as well. Feminists in particular can move themselves out of air-conditioned offices and learn about other job realities. - like long haul trucking or any of the dangerous jobs that men do and women don't. After all, why should men continue to be 93-94% of all annual job related deaths? Feminists don't want that sort of "equality".

Love / How would you describe Polish girl in one word only? [37]


I believe the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious describes Polish females very well.
According to Wikipedia; "The roots of the word have been defined as follows: super- "above", cali- "beauty", fragilistic- "delicate", expiali- "to atone", and docious- "educable", with the sum of these parts signifying roughly "Atoning for educability through delicate beauty."

History / Should Poland be given ANY credit for ALLOWING Jews into Poland for 1000 years? [195]


If even your granddad wasn't involved in converting then almost certainly any conversions occurred during the era of Polish partitions. That's when Poles were not in charge of their own country. The probability is that your family changed religions during the Russian occupation.

History / Should Poland be given ANY credit for ALLOWING Jews into Poland for 1000 years? [195]

Was it during the Russian, Austrian and German/Prussian occupations? If so then Poland was not in charge of the pogroms. Did they convert in the time frame between the two world wars?

Do you really have no clue when it comes to 'context'? You're smarter than this!

I live on Lake Shore Drive in a section across the street from a beach. When I see bikinis, I understand that the women wearing them want to get a sun tan, go swimming and/or play volleyball. When these same women walk several blocks to the many bars in the area and are still wearing their bikinis then I assume they aren't there for a sun tan, a swim or for volleyball. Please don't make me explain the rest.

Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]


That sort of psychobabble (as Ironside pointed out) ignores the nature of both man and woman. It reads like something from a feminist consciousness raising booklet.


In winter?


I just assume that the woman is just 'airing things out'. Why else would she be wearing "revealing" clothing without wanting sex? Due to political correctness where men have to watch their steps and women need not show any responsibility for their actions, many men like myself do not assume anything potentially controversial when it comes to women. We just think the worst. This eliminates any sexual confusion and arbitrariness.


A cup of coffee? :)


A man must 'divine' what a woman 'feel's' at the time she is wearing inappropriate clothing. . In other words, he must be a mind reader. Women will be annoyed or pretend to be if the man in question is not up to their standards yet dares to comment on their attire. However if Brad Pitt makes the same unbecoming comment, then it's okay. After all, the right kind of male showed interest. This example excludes 'bad boys' who can say and do anything they want to do because for some primitive reason many women go for them.


Well stated.

Suffragettes did not die for their cause. A rare example would be Emily Davison who stepped in front of a race horse during the 1913 Epsom Derby. She also injured the horse and the jockey.

As to the larger question of women judging themselves sexually, well, my,my, is that really a surprise? Women fidget with make-up, clothes and various other appearance related accessories which in some fashion and form relate to sexuality. Fertile women are reminded of this monthly.

I've previously noted a conversation I had with a women who was sitting on a bar stool next to me. Her dress was thigh-high and she was revealing 75% of her somewhat sweaty bosom. Guess what our conversation was about?

She was attempting to point out to me that women don't like to be looked upon as sex objects. I can still see the puzzled look on her face after I burst out with an uproarious laugh (spilling a little of my drink as well).

Women default to using sex as a tactic when it suits them. Of course men like myself find it one part amusing, one part sad & desperate and depending on the degree of sexuality provided, even insulting.

News / Anty-Polish v column is located in White House [88]


The above premise is severely flawed for several reasons:

*It states that "20 million Poles" were "paid laborers who built the camps". Really? It took 20 million plus to do it? All Poles who are not listed in the Righteous Among The Nations" were workers?

*Most Poles were too busy trying to feed their families; that is, they were attempting to survive under Nazi occupation. Helping anyone, including fellow Poles was a difficult task at best. That begs the following question, one that is rarely asked; how many Jews saved Poles?

*Many Poles who helped Jews were not identified. Many more were killed for helping Jews who also perished thus becoming the unknown "Righteous" who received no credit for their heroism.


Same flawed premise. It presumes that 30 million Poles (including babies) had to do something to protect Jews when they couldn't even protect some 3 million fellow Poles from getting killed.


Political pundit Michael Medved (whos brother is an Israeli activist) has publicly stated on his radio program that the one thing he opposes within some American Jewish circles is the false notion that Poles were generally anti-Semitic. Mr. Medved is about as pro Jewish as is possible but he acknowledged that some elite elements with the Jewish lobbies perpetuate a false anti Polish stereotype.

Somehow, I doubt if you bothered to read much or any of it. You're not ready to jump out of your small fishbowl yet. Perhaps with time you will open your mind and grow.

By the way, in order to advance your dubious debating skills, I recommend that you show 'why' you agree or disagree with a premise. Merely stating that you disagree with something doesn't count because there is no 'there' there (with apologies to Gertrude Stein).

It's not really a secret that in general, women get better breaks when it comes to domestic violence issues, child kidnapping or even murder. Just living life one sees it. For example; in the U.S. men who kill their spouses receive an average prison sentence of 17 years. Women who murder theirs' receive an average prison sentence of 7 years. That sort of variant is consistent in other crime categories ranging from robbery to adult/minor sex. The legal system gives women a break (exceptions duly noted).

Of course, women probe as to what motivates women to commit certain acts. Often they make excuses for them. They don't do the same inquiries where men are concerned. That's our current societal conditioning at work.

Bringing these sorts of inequities to light seems to disturb those who prefer to remain in the dark. That's why the issue of child kidnapping is judged differently depending on the sex of the perpetrator. That's why some posters here question the man even when the female kidnapper is the one who did the deed. At some level they must know better. I hope so.

Get Back to the original topic.

Child abduction by a parent is wrong, even evil. Women seem to 'feel' that it's less wrong when a woman does it. This thread has proven that unfortunate fact which is applicable to the general public as well. That's because we have a 'feeling' society and not a thinking one.

I've given the following example in another thread. It personifies how men and women are judged. The infamous Ann Landers printed 2 letters from her advice column. The first was from a woman who stated that her husband was cheating on her. Ms Landers' advice was that this woman should divorce her husband. The second letter was printed about 10 months later. It was from a man who stated that his wife was having an affair with another man. Ms Landers suggested that he talk things over with her and to forgive her.

So many women 'feel' that the above advice is correct even though it's an obvious double-standard. They do not see inconsistency because their center begins with gender bias. They are taught that in a variety of ways; gender courses, women's mags, women's organizations, and other entities like the domestic violence industry. It's a billion dollar business in the U.S. and is composed (of) and run by feminists who feed the media and politicians false stats.

That ship has left the port long ago, thanks to the misandry inherent in feminism.


I noted that in my previous post. Women try to find out what motivates a woman to do an unjust act. They are less thoughtful about what motivates a man. and rarely ask "why". It's proved in these forums all the time.


LOL, thanks for the chuckle.


".....against all women"? Many women in my life would consider that comment laughable. As you know, it's the feminists and their fellow travelers that are (my) culprits.


I present what I call 'fuller facts'; those that are ignored because of inconvenience and "political correctness". Like many women, you prefer your bias to objective facts.

Real women do not fear real equality!

So if you had a child and that child was 'kidnapped' and taken out of your country you would just tell yourself "that child is gone" and leave it at that.....right? (somehow I don't think so)


Are you suggesting that women just can't control their innately biased emotions? Quite the stereotype eh?


That is still an insult. Tossing out the possibility (without substantiation) is hurtful. It casts a negative aspersion on innocent individuals. It reflects the societal overview so common yet unfair in our cultures which is why I made such a big point when casting my "wide net". Many women have been reflexively trained to blame the man because that is how they have been brought up and that is how so many 'womens magazines' write their articles.

I previously brought up something I've witnessed at a book club session. The group of women were judging a kidnapping of a child by the male spouse as something heinous. Not a half hour later these same women were aghast when I noted that a certain woman took her kid to another state without her husbands knowledge. They immediately looked into every nook and cranny as to why she did that. They found excuses for her - maybe he was abusive; maybe he deserved it in some manner, etc. No such possibilities were afforded the male perp.

They cannot look at the mirror, and that's how it is.
