Life / HIV/AIDS growing in Poland - more fear of pregnancy than STDs [82]

@delphiandomine

Actually blood transfusion followed by anal sex esp with a negative top and positive bottom. The risk for receptive anal was around 1% and apparently can get higher if taking into account only uncircumcised males which have a higher chance of spreading hiv for some reason. Sharing needles was actually in the middle/middle upper section of the list at around .6% There is plenty of articles online that list 'chance of contracting hiv by specific action' which percentage incidence rates. Like for example the chance of catching hiv by having anal sex would be .62% per x acts. The only one that had a high rate was blood transfusion all the other ones had a below 1% chance. It's actually rather hard to contract hiv as it dies in the air.

If you want I can find you that document. I believe it was published by the cdc (center for disease control).

America is great if you want to get an education get a good job make money all that. But for cultural or family things ehh I prefer Europe. Our culture and even average incomes have been in decline lately. I love America don't get me wrong but its not the same place as it was 10 20 years ago. Even then when I went to college there was no such thing as banning white people from campus, now there is. Idk maybe I just don't get it. Back then immigrants would treat it as an escape from their land and want to settle down here permanently. Now more and more immigrants have been here a while made their money and now looking to go back home. Hell even some the Indians Columbians etc I know want to go back

Tusks reelection is just one of many scenarios that played out. Comparing tusks support from eu leaders to migrant quotas to brexit and other things is a fallacy. It is not comparing apples to apples. If you want to know what kind of support poland for will have for a specific topic I.e. say whether its quotas or NATO defense countries you have to look at the precedents for that specific subject. For example what are the attitudes of Hungarian people and their leaders towards NATO defense, migrant quotas, etc. If the policies and decisions of the polish populace and Poland's leadership intersect with those of a specific country they will offer political support and increased ties - especially if its a very significant concern for both counties such as Russian aggression in the east, forced migrant quotas on the v4, gas pipelines etc.

What Germany can do to separate allies is basically bribe one of the countries with funds. Poland already received tons of cash, Europeans esp germans profited from the 8th largest economy and a 40 mil plus sized market and cheap labor. Poland in return got infrastructure and a boost to the economy. But that's it were not getting anymore hundreds or even tens of billions of dollars anymore. There s far too many problems in the eu for germany and the rich countries to keep investing like its 2008 2010 2013 when the economy stood well in poland but was collapsing in Greece and also Portugal and Italy aren't doing too well. Then the Syrian war Ukraine war and migrant crisis hit.. Its creating a bear market in poland and that's why all these people are grasping at what they already own because they fear uncertain times ahead

Similarly if another country and their allies enact a policy that hurts another country or countries, that country will enact a counter and seek others support especially if they are also being hurt.

That's how international relations work.

Its about preserving Christianity and not having Islam replace the country's religion - not my own piety. I may only go to church a handful of times a year but ill be damned if someone messes with it or tells the parish that the crosses are offending them. Just as when the Turks tried to invade Europe all the way up to Vienna to impose their will and impose their religion - knights with crosses drawn on their armor held them back.The bible was also written by people who thought the world was flat okay so bad example with the tattoo. This is not about how pious of a Christian I am this is about protecting and preserving the faith and passing down traditions sacraments etc to our next generation. Fortunately most poles feel the same as I do hence why it passed in parliament I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was passed with a high majority.

We have declared Christ the king of Poland. Christianity is our religion and we won't have someone challenge that. Islam attempts to spread itself BY CONQUEST!!! If they can't do it through war they'll do it another way. Even the imams boast about how they replace Europeans simply by demographics because they can't freaken wrap it up and stop putting out children like stoned test bunnies. No one in the modern developed world has 7 9 kids let alone 2 3 up to 4 wives. Recently the BBC even put out an article saying how most Muslim men young and old don't believe in equal rights for women.

Do you not understand this is an invasion? People are coming in destroying the place, plundering the nations wealth to provide money homes services for them, they grope and rape European women, they spread their ideology making demands of halal food, Arabic and islamic services...

Now some even want their own courts! Can you fathom that coming to a country and you don't like their laws so your religious group forms its own courts.

And how do they pay Europeans , the gracious hosts that they are back? Not just demanding money and welfare but blowing people up running em over with cars leaving trash everywhere setting cars on fire not only cop cars but normal everyday peoples car and property. Even in the UK they march on the streets chanting uk go to hell!! How could you be so blind to all this? This will be the great replacement - the French will become a minority in their own country. Germany is overflowing now too. 80% of schoolkids in some areas aren't native. Well poles want to rule poland. Everyone deserves to rule their own nation according to their own laws traditions and customs whether its russians or poles or Israelis or palestinians - not to have a large group conquer the place and establish their rule. That's what conquering armies do just like what the Soviets did. Oh ya but they Were the good guys there to help us... Were not going to just hand over our way of life to accommodate people from a different culture who have a significant amount individuals that riot, murder people, destroy property , chant that the country goes to hell.. Forget about it.. These people were helped yet look how many of them pay us back. Not all of them are bad of course but far too many individuals are.

I don't want terrorist attacks in poland plain and simple. I don't want Warsaw to ever turn into paris and have to live under a state of emergency and deal with riots and destroyed property. The migrant issue is one of the hottest topics in Europe now. This is a big problem no matter how you look at it. I don't know why you say I'm not being sensible though. Like I said we did our part we took in ukranians Georgians and even chechens. Were tapped out. Finito. Go elsewhere.

And yes Christ was pronounced king of Poland by both poles and the government namely parliament. This occurred a few months ago. This is so people know that well always resist and no one will erode our culture.

Also were talking about Poland... Not trump.. ..I work in international business. I've been to many 3rd world countries.

The only thing that I believe will solve this crisis is closing of all European borders to people with no paperwork and investment in Africa and asia

You fail to realize how much money germany and other countries have invested already in poland... You think they want to lose their hold on media mines and a ton of other businesses? Poland got all the big funds already from 2007 to 2013. A 2 bil fine is peanuts plus they'd never make em pay all at once. Now poland essentially gets 10 bil a year and pay in 2 bil. Poles complain niema pieniedzy but believe me its a wealthy country and poles are smart with money and they save it. Theres tons of nice ass cars new condos nice restaurants all that. Well we want to enjoy it without fear of being blown up. Like i said we've already done our part - go ask someone else to take in a mix of 1.4 mln migrants andbrefugees and give them work permits so they work and not mooch off the system. Well anyway poland czechy Hungary and now Austria Switzerland and Denmark are getting more strict w refugees. We can easily swap strategic alliances with them as well as us and now China who we've just signed a trade deal with. There's a ton poles and foreigners in poland alike making a killing off importing chinese stuff into the country all legally vat paid and all that jazz.

The ukranians did resist the russians... They fought and the issue somewhat died down with Minsk 1 and 2. Most of the migration occured within the past 2 years - after the largest scale fighting died down.

Like I said, we don't care about what some unelected eu commisar thinks of Poland. Well deal with the fines, the political fallout, even an economic slump if it means not having Muslim migrants. We don't want em. Poles are united on this subject. We don't want the problems that France germany etc have because of migrants. Its not going to happen. Poles are way too scared after all the attacks and problems Muslims caused in the west. Maybe if they were better behaved as a group and didn't run people over with cars, riot and destroy property, kill teenage girls at concerts, or blow people up in stadiums wed be a little more open to hosting them.

Do you know what happened when poland and czechy took in a few m.e. refugees/migrants a few years back? They left for germany.. They don't want to even come here in the first place because they know they'd have to work. Poland isn't going to just hand over an apartment for some guy his 2 wives and 9 kids. They may give him just enough money so they don't starve but that's it. Were of the mentality that if you want something in life you have to work for it. No free lunches here.

@Tacitus
But we already have... 1.4mln migrants just from Ukraine of whom I'm certain thousands are from donbass luhansk etc hence fleeing war and poverty - true refugees. Not the people who are coming from bangladesh, ghana, gambia, afghanistan, etc - less than 25% are Syrian. So sad and pathetic that all these Syrian men just left their country without a fight. Now women who have more balls than the syrian men are doing the fighting.

Its a security issue and a battle to preserve our culture. Its a matter of principle. You think its about a few thousand immigrants? The ramifications are far beyond that. If we kow tow to every demand the eu makes on poland without our consultation our culture will gradually be eroded. You cannot force a person or country to host someone. It doesn't work that way. We are sovereign and we decide who is let in and who isnt. As far as the short term we don't want our fellow polish citizens as well as the over million migrants we've already taken in to be blown up, we don't want our polish or ukranians women groped, we don't want no go zones or in pc speak special urban zones, no m.e. migrants = no issues with assimilation.

Saudi is the chair on human rights...

Furthermore you're still comparing apples to oranges. Hungary supporting tusks relection and forced migrant quotas are two different things.

If were discussing the migrant crisis and the countries that are refusing to abide by forced quotas, apples to apples, then yes poland has plenty of allies which are also refusing to do the same. Now even more countries like Austria Denmark and Switzerland see the issues that Germany France and Sweden face and are following a similar line as czechy Poland and Hungary. The media can xall them Nazis haters whatever but at the end of the day no one wants to have Islamic terrorist attacks and issues with assimilating migrants. However they're just upset now that we had the foreknowledge to not accept migrants from totally different cultures - now they want to spread them around so they're not alone in having to pay for these peoples houses, schools, 7 kids (some even have 9 10 or more), healthcare on top of violent Muslim riots and terrorist attacks. Misery loves company and we don't want to be miserable like the French who have been under a state of emergency on and off for two years mainly due to islamic terrorism.

Germany is Poland largest trading partner by far. Goods will continue to flow both ways regardless of any decision to fine poland. Even if the relationship with Germany was totally destroyed, poland would look to other partnerships which it already has started to do especially with China.

For this very reason and the fact that there is billions of dollars of German capital invested in poland, Merkel can only.pry so far without upsetting all the companies and people who invested in poland.

Go tell Israel to take in Muslim migrants. See what they say. We've actually taken in Chechens. Yet Israel has taken in just one migrant in I believe either 2015 or 2016. In fact they're doing everything to kick out the Africans already there - offering them money to leave and a plane ticket.

Also where was the solidarity in helping Ukraine? Actually Poland and us were among the few parties to send non lethal supplies and aid. Furthermore we took in 1.4 mln ukranians. Where was the solidarity in distributing them? Surely there were refugees in this mix I.e people from donestsk, a city of 1 mln, who lost their homes and are fleeing fighting.

Also tusks election is beside the point. That was only a polish issue. If you look at the quotas eu is forcing on certain countries the visegrad 4 remains allied and now even Austria and Switzerland are securing borders because they know damn well the consequences of having a deluge of migrants from totally different cultures in your country.

News / Officials in Poland are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump [720]

Also yes poland is willing to pay a fine over taking in migrants. They obviously don't want to but if push comes to shove wed rather pay than deal with terror attacks, special urban zones, sharia courts, women being groped at concerts, trash all over the streets, riots which destroy tons of property and all those problems.

No migrants = no problems with assimilating migrants

Why don't they go to a country that is far richer than Poland? Kuwait Saudi Arabia uae Qatar? Theres tons to choose from. But the Saudis are too smart - they cite terrorist and security concerns for not taking in migrants.

We've taken in 1.4 mln ukranians and around 5k 10k or so Georgians and Chechens. We've fulfilled our obligation. They need to look elsewhere.

Another thing most these migrants are male yet they run like scared little girls to Europe. Pick up an am and fight isis. I mean even women now fight against isis because too many men are too cowardly. Do you realize that... In a Muslim country no less

Hate to break it to you but the smaller poorer eu states especially those in central and eastern Europe feel as if Germany, France, Belgium etc decide everything important and the smaller nations must follow. Its not just poland that feels their sovereignty is being violated and they are underrepresented in the eu. Hungary czechy etc share similar sentiment. People don't want to be told what to do in their own country. Thatd be like if someone in a wealthier town next door to you told you how to remodel your home, what kind of flowers to plant, and forcing uou to take in homeless people, and threatening to fine you if you say no. And that person feels he has the right to tell you what to do because you're both in the same jurisdiction even though you're in two different towns in different homes. Even Austria and Switzerland are going against the eu now as it relates to the migrant crisis. Recently a small town in Switzerland of around 2k 3k people stated that they'd much rather pay 250k euro than let just 10 migrants into their town. You don't hear much on Denmark Austria and Switzerland fighting against the eu migrant quotas but they certainly are. Denmark drastically lowered its welfare payments and through this got rid of a ton of refugees because they moved over to Sweden to take advantage of their system instead of finding a job in Denmark. Also Austria just deployed troops specifically for the purpose of keeping out migrants that may try to cross in from Hungary due to the uptick of arrivals lately.

Now even some Swedes and Germans are finally saying enoughs enough.

That's true. I still feel though he has more support in poland than say Germany or France. Apparently there are significant anti trump anti g20 demonstrations in Hamburg. I can understand the anti trump but why would people want to block the roads in hopes of preventing world leaders from meeting is beyond me. Most the time these meetings are about finding common ground and solutions to the problems the whole world faces.

What's strange is according to that pew research survey many Africans i.e. Kenyans Nigerians Senegalese actually had a high opinion of whether trump would do the right thing in a world crisis. In some places it exceeded well over 40 even 50%. I certainly didn't expect that. Then again its a survey and when I read the methogolody then asked only about 1k people per country surveyed. A larger sample size would have been nice.

I'm kind of leaning more towards czarna Madonna because I don't have anything regarding my faith yet and everyone has a cross, some reform Jews have the star of David, a few Muslims have the crescent.. Although I'm in love with the whole hussars culture history and traditions so it's kind of between those too but I'm open to ideas.

I definitely won't get one though with trump Kaczynski kopacz or any politician for that matter though lol...

Life / Polish tattoo ideas [13]

True but if I were to go a historical figure id want to do hussars perhaps led by sobieski or perhaps pilsudzki. With historical figures its kind of hard to tell who that person is... I could tattoo Pulaski on my arm whatever and people would be like 'why is Napoleon on your arm'

Since its hard to tell oftentimes who the person is in a tattoo people usually chose something more intimate for those types of tats I.e. family say their daughters face or something and name below it.

Back in the days of the ussr prisoners would tattoo lenins and Stalin's face on their chests because they believed itd help spare them against the firing squad. Hardly any solider would dare to fire at or around a portrait of Stalin even if on a criminal.

I will look up janusz korczak though I'm embarrassed to say I don't know who he is.

Walesa is kind of a fool maybe not the smartest guy (and was def treated as 'the fall guy')but he def did a lot of good for poland. In my eyes his good deeds outweigh his sins. Shame michnik backstabbed him shortly after walesa gave him the blessing to establish wyborcza.

Then why did walesa receive such applause if you claim that it was only pis supporters? I didn't hear a single boo or any other disrespect when his name was announced. Surely if there were only pis members there they'd have strong words.

News / Officials in Poland are hailing an upcoming visit by Donald Trump [720]

@TheOther

It is not. A someone who uses stats regularly in his duties I can tell you that pew simply asked a sample of population 'do you trust trump to do the right thing in a world crisis' with the answer yes or no. It asked the respondents nothing more or nothing less. Usually such studies never ask more that 1k to perhaps at most 3k 5k people.

In the uk and Germany the numbers were just as low according to pew. Yet where were the protesters or demonstrators in warsaw? Basically none. Yet they were saying numbers of as high as 100k snowflakes I mean demonstrators when trump comes to Germany.

Furthermore stats are b.s. companies and people manipulate stats all the time by manipulating the sample size or the way a statistic is calculated. If I went to say some Muslim majority special urban zone in France and asked If they believe weed should be legal surely most would say no. However if I conducted same study but using a sample of say young students living in a college town the same question surely more people would be pro legalisation. Hence I can say 67% of people in France don't support/57% do support legalization depending on which sample size I chose to represent the population of France. In the same manner both examples are a samples of a population

If you manipulate the sample whether purposely or not, it will affect your results. So don't believe most polls or statistics unless it states how it was conducted which some sites do describe their methodology.

I'm sure if you were born and raised in poland, had hundreds of polish friends family members acquaintances colleagues business partners etc you wouldn't be blinded by what some talking head tells you to think and could form your own opinions from facts based on the ground. Being polish, living in poland for some time, and having very strong ties with the country through both polish organization here and with having family/friends/property and soon a business in poland, I can confidently say that the majority of poles, meaning at least 51% do like trump and feel he'll be good for poland and Poland's citizens. If you read or heard his speech the whole purpose was common ground - family values, God, free speech, fighting terrorism, nato, etc.

Consider this logic. Poles elected pis which some 37% of the vote, add another 10% to the more nationalistic and right parties, kukiz, etc, and even just a few percent of po voters, say 3% only.. Peole like my grandma that tend to vote po but are traditional but yet open minded and you're already at 50% - more than double the 23% figure of 'poles not liking trump' that you're inferring...

Ask 10 totally random polish people tomorrow in the rynek at the deli wherever if they're happy trump came to poland (assuming you're in poland and polish). If you could record it even better. Id be curious to hesrbtheir answers

Trumps team is too smart to send him to poland if 80% of poles didn't like him. He could've just as easily went to Nigeria where according to pew 58% 'view him to do the right thing in a world conflict' again that doesn't automatically translate to liking him. Many people including myself also thought Obama would probably be a cool head in a world crisis, although he was a total b1tch for not enforcing his red line leading to Assad and putin and the Iranians walking all over him in Syria.. But nonetheless Obama would probably sooner use diplomacy than force while trump is more hotheadex... I am willing to bet though now that trump bombed assads airfield he won't be so quick to using chemical weapons next time

@TheOther

First off, the number you're referring to is not general support for trump but rather specifically 'if trump would do the right thing in a world crisis.' This is where this 23% number has been applied to polls. I can tell you from being polish, watching polsat tvp and other polish channels, having just returned from poland just to go again in a month to few months, having countless family friends business associates etc that poles both who favor po and pis side like trump and feel he'll be good for poland and are genuinely happy about trumps visit. Even in wroclaw that's been the talk of the town for weeks. Po isn't some super liberal party like the dems in the U.S. they're far more centrist/center left or atleast the majority of members. Poles will never forget their history and their culture land religion language etc is everything to them. While most want poland to remain in eu, as do i, it doesn't mean well ever allow our freedoms, culture and way of life to be eroded or threatened whether its by Islamic terrorism or the invasion by a sovereign state.

pewglobal.org/2017/06/26/u-s-image-suffers-as-publics-around-world-question-trumps-leadership

There is no such poll which specifically asked if polish residents 'support' trump, believe trump is good specifically for poland, if trumps views and ideology will help poland and so on. Nonetheless I can tell you that poles are genuinely happy about trumps visit regardless of what non poles say.
