If it's not against the law you are free to live however you want. But what'+s wrong wtih knowing some facts and some odds. If you're a stunt driver you're life expectancy is considerably is shorter (if you get an insurance policy) than that of a desk-job person. If you enter an informal relationship there are greater odds that it won't last as long as the average married relationship. But, hey, who said you're after a serious life-long relationship. Some people do not want to commit and prefer fly-by-night arrangements. Since everything has its upside and downside, such a non-commital lifestyle can indeed make one feel footloose and fancy free. On the other hand, it's good knowing that statistically married men have fewer health problems than old bachelors. The choice is yours!

Maybe there should be. Sweeping things under the rug is never a good solution. Openly discussing all the pros and cons of any situation should be the aim of any good discussion forum.

Don't you think too many people these days mindlessly and conformistically "go with the flow" without thinkng and analysing anything. At best they'll mouth a few "trendy" buzzwords they have heard.

Indeed, Karłowicz & Co. list the Turkish words filiżan or findżan (Polish phonetic rendering) as its source.
BTW did you know no native Polish word or name ever starts with the letter "f". Names (Filip, Franciszek, Fabian, Felicjan) and words (fontanna, fala, fiołek, farmazon, fotografia, filc, etc.) are all foreign loanwords.

That's still not as bad as the made-up French term footing (for jogging).
A joke goes that two Poles travelled to England not knowing a word of English.They saw a sign that said NO SMOKING. One asked the other: "What does it mean?" "I'm not sure but I think ti means your'e not allowed in wearing a dinner jacket."

It's the negligence of Polish reserarch that's to blame. If Polish studies were available, everybody could refer to them. Unfortunately, they are not.

But let's be frank. If there were Polsih studies conclsuively proving that informal relationships produce more violence, crime, infidelity and instabiltiy and were not suitable settings to raise children in, your beloved pro-promiscutiy faction would stil find some way to disavow it. They are unreliable, insufficient sampling, bla-bla-bla. Let's stop play-acting. This isn't about proof. This about proclaiming one of the PC dictatorship's priorities: PROMISCUOUS COUNTERCULTURE MUST PREVAIL WITH NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS, AND ATCH WITH HER LAME EXCUSES KNOWS THAT AS WELL AS ANYONE ELSE!

Abuse and infidelity
University of Chicago sociologist Linda Waite [86] found that "16 percent of cohabiting women reported that arguments with their partners became physical during the past year, while only 5 percent of married women had similar experiences." Waite's surveys also demonstrated that 20 percent of cohabiting women reported having secondary sex partners, compared to only 4 percent of married women.

There are tonnes of such evidence online. Yes, married couples have problems, but as the above study has shown shackers-up WERE MORE THEN THREE TIMES AS LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Married women also break their vow of fidelity, but LIVE-IN LOVERS ARE FIVE TIMES LESS FAITHFUL TO THEIR PARTNERS.

In your view, which setting is better to raise children in?

But what do the pro-debauchery faction care about studies, facts, figures and statistics. Their slogan is PROMISCUITY FIRST AND FOREMOST and they will keep mouthing it until they're blue in the face!!

News / Warsaw's silent march in support of 5th Commandment - Thou shalt not kill [75]


Quite. Because murders in marriage, although they can also occur, are far rarer than in fly-by-night liaisons. The same us true of domestic violence not leading to homicide. There seems no lack of people on PF ready to attack windmills in defence of promicuous hook-up and shack-up lifestyles.

One can't help but wonder whether that is strictly an abstarct, intellectual reaction on their part or do they themselves actually engage in such shameless debauchery?

That occurrence was merely an example of what frequently occurs in such circles. You come across as a person not content to wallow in your own perversity. Just becuase you were dealt that particularly sad hand of cards, you seem to want to get even (but with whom since you don't believe in God?!) by foisting the toxins of unrestrained "anything goes" debauchery and disintegration on the rest of society.

Looks to be a promising line-up, although I'm not familiar with all the newcomers. But let's not forget that the Platfus losers will keep doing everything in their power to stoke the Polish-Polish war. The tiniest misstep, gaffe or sour expression and the nitpickers will zoom in and stir up a fuss. After all these years, they're qutie good at that. Fortunately, all the Platformers can do is rant, rave and fume in impotent frustration and fury.

So Kopacz in your view was not and would not?


How he manages in that post remains to be seen and it's up to Polish voters (not smart-alecky PF know-alls!) to pass their verdict at the polling stations.

But had his 1992 "police-file-opening" project been allowed to run its course, we would have had maybe 2-3 years of confusion and disruptiion while the grain was being separated from the chaff, but eventually the dust would have settled and Poland could have moved forward. All the other ex-commie countries somehow managed. By staging his parliamentary coup to nip that project in the bud, Wałęsa ushered in a quarter-century-long Polish-Polish War and there's no end in sight. Looks like it will end only after PO drops off the political stage altogether. In the meantime, the Polish nation appears to be in for years of more wasted time, effort, newsprint, air time and money in yet another sterile bout of senseless, pointless and fruitless mud-slinging.

Merged: Despite KOD-ist betrayal Wojciechowski appointed to auditors' panel

According to a long-standing gentlemen's agreement, all Polish MEPs regardless of party affiliation have traditonally backed back Polish candidates to European office. Even the ex-commies played ball and voted for PO, PiS and PSL candidates. But not the frustrated Platfus-Petru losers' camp who broke the agreement and voted against Janusz Wojciechowski SIMPLY BECAUSE he was from PiS. Luckily the whole thing backfired becuase the "opposition" are so befuddled by their blind hatred that they don't even seem to know how the EU operates. It was the EU Council that appointed Wojciechowski to the Euroepan Tribunal of Auditors, ignoring the pitiful Schetyna-Petru attempt to blackball him in the EP. Just born losers all the way, those KOD-ists are!

Have you noticed the gradual disintegration of the PO losers' camp. Kopacz refuses to represent Poland in Malta because she's afraid her party will elect someone else as parliamentary club chairperson. The current PO parliamentary club leader is undermining Kopacz's efforts to replace him. Schetyna is building up his base of support and just waiting in the wings for Kopacz to slip up. Outgoing digitisaiton minister Halicki is already praising and scoring brownie points with his PiS replacement, apparently hoping to land a nice fatcat job. Many PO MPs are considering transferring to Petru or even PiS. It's every man and woman for themselves! There's a good chance that in the next election the Platformers won't even clear the 5% threshold.

BTW this thread is not about PiS but about panci in the Platfus camp!

Positive are faithful loving spouses selflessly devoted to their youngsters, concerned about their proper upbringing, education, physical development and spiritual life, teaching them the importance of disinterested altruism for its own sake. Such behaviour should be lauded and propagated because multiplied millions of times over it helps create the ethical consensus on which to build a decent, safe, wholesome and healthy society. The antithesis -- selfish, fly-by-night instant gratification, selfish, here & now hedonism -- does not build but destroys individuals, families and the very fabric of society, creating chaos and confusion.

Yes, but even more in unmarried cohabitations, fatherless homes, unwed mothers and boyfriends, etc. That comparison is the key. And all available studies and stats show that children in dysfunctional settings suffer more, witness more domestic violence, do poorer in school adn have mroe frequent run-ins with the law those from fully parented households. Your reaction will doubtless be "yes, but fully parented households also experience violence, substance abuse, drunken rages, etc." They do indeed, but on average LESS, and in this case LESS IS BETTER THAN MORE! It's that simple.

News / Warsaw's silent march in support of 5th Commandment - Thou shalt not kill [75]


Taking all those factors into consideration my hunch is that children are better off and are exposed to less domestic violence living in a non-dysfunctional family with their own married parents. What is your hunch about that?

It's a generational thing. Thsoe raised in PRL accepted the de-germanised words as their own. Their parents' and grandparents' generation often used the ones they were brought up with.

I switch between TVP Info and TVN24 and actually check out the Selective Gazette. Their online set-up is more user friendly than Rzepa's. Also Nasz Dziennik, Polityka, Wprost, Niedziela, TV Republika, Polska the Times, Krytyka Polityczna and others. How else can get a feel for the country without knowing what both decent Poles and the PiS-bashers are doing?

Please prove with your Eurostats that there is exactly the same amount of violence amongst married couples as shackers-up.


So the poor are excused from behaving decently and are free to act liek animals. Knowing your "anything goes as long as it's libertine" philosophy of life, you probably believe that the better-to-do are also excused from being decent. Feel free.There's no law against believing such crap.

Whom do you direct your hatred towards: married couples, children who know both their parents, people who do not opt for shack-up lifestyles, maybe churchgoers, those turned off by "grass", adults for whom the family is everything?

It's easy to downplay or slough off the married or unmarried factor, but the whole point is to show that for all their problems nuclear families centred round married parents in general provide the best environment to raise happy, well-balanced youngsters in. Governments can encourage them through family-friendly tax policies and, conversely, discourage them by preferentially treating singles. Today's extremely influential and opinion-moulding popular culture could do a great deal to popularise the decent, well-integrated, complete family but often prefers to sensationalise and titillate their audiences by glamourising various dysfunctiomal, often scandalous counter-culture alternatives.

History / How come Polonization never works? [87]


Bereza was no Boy Scout camp to be sure, and harsh methods had to be used there are elsehwere in those troubled, precarious times. Poland was wedged in between two hostile powers -- Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany -- and faced numerous internal threats. These included the Nazi fifth column, an effective Soviet fifth column -- the illegal, subversive, Jewish-dominated Communist Party of Poland, as well as Ukrainian terrorists and saboteurs who had assassinated a senior Polish official. What would you have done under the circumstances -- held a weekly picnic for the mortal enemies of Poland?

As America goes, so goes Poland, Ireland and the world. It's only a question of time. Those screaming "unrelated" seem to be mainly trying to defend today's "cool" and "trendy" shack-up arrangements in an attempt to cloud the sad truth about them and their adverse affect on children.

Not only. Did you know domestic violence also occurs among educated, better-to-do professionals, doctors, lawyers, engineers, entertainers, etc. Do you think there is more or less in married households or among live-in lovers? What's your gut feeling about that? Got any evidence to back your claim?

History / How come Polonization never works? [87]


Is killing a Nazi or Bolshevik under conditons of civil strife genocide? Those largely Ukrainian villagers had collabroated with the Nazis. When the other occupation force, the Red Army, arrived, they welcomed the new invaders and joined the Soviet-backed secret police. A strong communist cell existed in the village. The memory of the Wołyń Massacre of Poles by rampaging Ukrainian nationalists was still very fresh and its Polish survivors were among the Polish combatants. Whenever hostilities haev an additional overlay of criss-crossing ethnicities and ideologies, nothing is simple and straighforward.
