Young Poles say: Hurray for decay?

Those who claim Polish young people are not vulnerable to the kind of social decay, decadence and proliferating moral rot that now permeates the West should take a closer look. Any perusal of the Polish online media will reveal numerous signs that things are moving in precisely the direction described in the link below. The situation in Poland may still not be as extreme, but isn't it only a question of time?

That link seems to be from some religious extremist site, unconnected with Poland.

Perhaps the original poster thinks that people in Poland should be somehow frozen in time, as if in a scene from a wojciech kossak painting, all in villages wearing headscarves and never watching tv or traveling more than a few kilometres from their home.

Are you suggeting that decay and moral rot are something modern? Not on your life! Sodom and Gomorrah were recorded thousands of years ago!

instead of human nature;). Somehow he thinks that Poland is immune and as Jonni said should remain:

Well, my dictionary says a galernik was a slave that rowed ancient ships. Is a galerianka a female version? And where do you have ancient ships nowadays?

As for extremism, I don't think too many Polish kids bring knives and guns to school, do they? In the Detroit area that is not uncommon.

Fortunately private gun ownership is highly restricted in most of Europe, including Poland, but carrying knives in PL is regarded a little differently, especially away from big cities.

Who says that? Why should Polish young people not be .... human, with all the typical weaknesses thereof?

Why can't you let life takes its natural course, Pol3? Lead your own life, avoid harming yourself and others and show respect for those that earn it. Be virtuous if you wish but don't expect others to play your tune too.

You are out of touch with the reality here, Pol3. Polish youth is not that corrupted and don't try and protect them like they are golden as they are children like any other. Football kids can be but parents let them go to matches. You can't always protect people from themselves.

Sorry, life take :) No world crusades please, Pol3

show respect for those that earn it.

no, show respect for others.. it's not something one has to earn.. that's one thing that is completely effed up about the "west"..

Sorry, you show courtesy to others based on the assumption that they are good people. That's how I live my life, even if I may think they are otherwise. However, I don't automatically respect people and won't. Respect is earned!

so, you kick the old ladies on the tram.. because they may be evil, right? how about the boy with crutches? kick them from underneath him as he hasn't earned your respect? is that right?

that's effed up, man.

Do you understand what courtesy means, plk123? Because sb hasn't earned my respect doesn't mean I do bad by them and harm them.

Besides, Gliwice phased trams out ;) ;)

Besides, Gliwice phased trams out ;) ;)

In many ways, ma man, in many ways :) By investing their time and effort into helping me with various things. Credit where credit is due :)

so, you had 0 respect for your teacher the first day you walked into class, is that right? lol

No, as I said, respect is earned and isn't given out automatically. Quite a few of my teachers didn't earn my respect at all for a host of reasons.

On the first point, me too.

I had respect for their position as I was younger then and more conditioned into the nonsense that you automatically respect your elders. Oh, how I've grown ;) ;)

George Washington in his farewell address said that we get our morals from our churches. He didn't say that we got our morals from the legislature or the courts. If the West is immoral it is the responsibility of its churches. You can't legislate morality, if you could what would be the role of the Church???

As for extremism, I don't think too many Polish kids bring knives and guns to school, do they? In the Detroit area that is not uncommon.

We all know who this is. You know this is not mainstream America.

It's got nothing to do with it, a gun is an inanimate object.

actually became a bit less civilized. ;) :)

You can't legislate morality,

tell that to the righties of this world

You know this is not mainstream America.

knives and guns being brought to school? of course it is.. it's constantly in the news..

It's got nothing to do with it, a gun is an inanimate object.

correct but the wild animals don't know how to "play" well with guns in most instances. i think i would know.
