@Novichok, no, but guys like that give out the so called "small d1ck energy". They have to attack smaller and weaker than them in order to feel "bigger".

@Novichok, no, he isn't a patriot, he's just a cowardly racist who can only go after petite women and most probably has a small d1ck :)

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]

An incident from spring last year - a man in Toruń was insulting, threatening and harassing black women on a bus in Toruń. That "brave man" was stopped by a Polish female passenger (and he started insulting her too):

USA, Canada / Polish wife for Chicago Pole - TV show [8]

@Novichok, I was wondering about that, but aren't Joker's and Cargo_pants' wives Polish? Where did they find them? Did they meet already in the US? 🤔

USA, Canada / Polish wife for Chicago Pole - TV show [8]

This is probably something that PFers could find interesting considering the number of Pol-Ams on PF (including from Chicago) ;)

So today at 20:20 on TVP1 there's going to be the first episode of a new reality TV show "Żona dla Polaka" (a wife for a Pole). Earlier there was a similar show called "Rolnik szuka żony" (a farmer is looking for a wife) - I'm guessing they made it because Polish women are fleeing the countryside and so men there have a harder time finding a wife. It was a popular show, apparently. I didn't watch it, because I don't normally watch such shows, but I think I'm going to watch this one (well, at least the first episode lol)... You know, after all those years on PF my first thought after hearing about this show was - are those men going to be normal? lol Will this show give an answer to the eternal question on PF - "Is there something in the water in the US?"?? ;D

This should be "fun"... lol

From what I remember it's going to be four men from Chicago looking for a wife in Poland. Two of those men were born in the US, but have Polish roots and the other two were born in Poland and moved to the US.

Btw, what do you think about such shows? Are those people genuine - are they really looking for a life partner or are they doing it for fame? Or maybe both?

About the show:

Life / Why women's rights are not respected here in Poland? [160]

A sick matriachial society

There are no matriarchal societies/countries in this world (that I am aware of). I guess you could say, for example, that Poland is partially matriarchal, because it's often women who run/rule families here, but the society as a whole is fairly patriarchal still. 🤔

All I can say is that he makes a great case for America being a totally f@cked up society.

I wouldn't believe a word of what he's saying - he's a pathological liar... I don't think looking at the US through his distorted point if view is a good idea...

Why don't you just say what you want to and they'll adapt. You may become the delightful eccentric in the family.

lol
Atch, have some mercy on his daughters... I'm sure they suffered enough.

@Novichok, you're the psycho that never STFU and you are often lying (repeatedly, even if proven wrong) on this forum as evidenced even in this thread. It looks like you're projecting all of your flaws on women.

But they don't make the news because once caught they create no drama worth posting on YouTube

So you lied that majority of drunk drivers are women (it's, in fact, men, as Atch pointed out) and you keep lying that once men are caught they create no drama.

You asked for a video with arrested men behaving in unhinged way and I posted it and summed it up here:

https://polishforums.com/life/poland-women-rights-respected-87706/5/#msg2008156

That includes killing the parents if they don't allow her to "date" a man twice her age.

Sure, that's a totally normal and common behaviour for majority of women out there - killing the parents if they don't allow them to "date" a man twice her age. It happens all the time LOL 😂🤦

Novichok, you're sick in the head and beyond help.

Life / Why women's rights are not respected here in Poland? [160]

Show me a video with men doing the same or a fraction of it.

OK.
This video is 1 hour long and I had to force myself to watch the whole thing, so, Novichok, I hope you'll appreciate my sacrifice lol 😩
The first three people arrested who are behaving in the most unhinged way in this video are all white men. The police officers are even discussing why one of the guys behaved like this, so you can watch it if you're interested in the "why".
The majority of people arrested in this video are white men (two of them racists and one of those two is a neo-Nazi even), except for one guy that looks Mexican, I guess. Some of them had to be put in special restraining chairs. There are only three women (all of them white) and two of them are one of the calmest, if not the calmest, arestees in the whole video.



Btw, based on that video you forgot to add something to your list - some of the drunk arrested men in the US like to say that they're going to sue the police officers :D lol

And this is only one video I randomly picked after one Google search.

99% of drunk drivers are women.

In what universe??? :D You're so full of sh1t it's mindblowing! lol 🤦

Is MBP strictly an American thing

I have no idea what "MBP" is.

Why do women scream when already cuffed and inside the police car?

For the same reasons that men do that. Feniks even posted a video showing an arrested man behaving in such unhinged way in a police car.

I watched hundreds of Youtube videos with cops arresting drunks and, unless somebody preselects them to show only women

Actually, YouTube (and social media) do "preselect" stuff for you - algorithms are showing you what you like watching. That's how "information bubbles" are created:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble

Men don't do any of that...

Of course they do. Ask Polish police officers.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [864]

The safest places on earth are where everybody has a gun.

This clearly is bullsh1t of epic proportions considering the statistics.

See gun stores and police stations. Duh!

People don't live in gun stores and police stations, you moron lol It's the outside of the gun stores and police stations that ordinary people have to worry about. Duh! 🤦

Novichok, so where's the answer to my question?:

So why is Iowa and Utah murder rate higher than in Poland, Denmark, Ireland, Australia, the UK and Germany? Because they have more guns? :)))
Paulina

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [864]

@Novichok, but Poland, Denmark, Ireland, Australia, the UK and Germany don't have death penalty and yet they have lower murder rate than your precious states of Iowa and Utah :)))

So, the question is:

So why is UK murder rate 10 times that of Singapore? Ten times more guns?

So why is Iowa and Utah murder rate higher than in Poland, Denmark, Ireland, Australia, the UK and Germany? Because they have more guns? :)))

Maybe the proximity to RuSSia works like this

No joke lol - check this out - a fragment from "Irish Examiner" about murder rates in 26 EU countries (no data for Cyprus) along with the UK, Norway and Switzerland - this data comes from Global Study on Homicide 2023 compiled by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC):

"Highest rates are in Latvia (3.62 per 100,000) and Lithuania (2.44), followed by Estonia (1.96), Romania (1.26), and Finland (1.21)"

Poland belongs to the group of countries with the lowest murder rate in the EU, together with three other Slavic countries (Croatia, Slovakia and Slovenia). Other countries in this group are Spain, Norway, Italy, Switzerland and Malta:

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [864]

Btw, another small country with just a few million inhabitants and strict gun laws is Denmark. In 2021 the murder rate in Denmark was 0.80.

Ireland apparently has one of the most strict gun laws in the world and the murder rate there in 2022 was 0.88, a downgrade from 2021 when it was only 0.46.

A country with probably the most strict gun laws in the world is Singapore and it also had the lowest murder rate in the world in 2022 (0.12 per 100,000). Singapore also tops rankings in health, education, business and is one of the least corrupted countries and has the lowest level of drug abuse in the world when it comes to opiates, cocaine and ecstasy, and the second lowest for cannabis and amphetamines, according to a UN World Drug Report.

The countries with the most strict gun laws:

liveandinvestoverseas.com/lifestyle/countries-with-the-strictest-gun-laws-in-the-world/

1. Singapore (murder rate: 0.12 in 2022)
2. China (murder rate: 0.50 in 2020)
3. Japan (murder rate: 0.23 in 2021)
4. UK (murder rate: 1.3 in 2021)
5. Australia (murder rate: 0.86 in 2021)
6. Germany (murder rate: 0.83 in 2021)

Conclusion - ordinary people owning guns is not a prerequisite for having a safe country. There are all kinds of other factors at play, imho.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [864]

And that's why the murder rate in Lithuania is higher than in Iowa.

Lithuania has also one of the highest depression and suicide rates in Europe. Maybe the proximity to RuSSia works like this on Baltic states lol

Iowa - 1.7
Utah - 2.0

According to Wikipedia in 2022 the homicide rate in Poland was 0.68 per 100,000, with a total of 270 murders committed :)

Language / New Years wishes in Polish? [40]

@Przelotnyptak1, no, there was no disagreement about the existence of this word. Noone claimed that it doesn't exist. Stop making stuff up. The whole discussion started with mafketis asking why noone is using the expression "Do siego roku!" anymore:

https://polishforums.com/language/new-years-wishes-56207/#msg1890253

Why does it seem that no one uses the nice and simple expression "Do siego roku!" anymore?

I don't think I've heard it either (except for someone explaining it)

Like any other certified psycho, you are not guilty, no matter how many witnesses are testifying against you.

Are you retarded? My comments are here in this thread for everyone to see and everyone can see that you're talking out of your ass lol Get a life, old man.

Like proper ghoul you disturbed my daughter in her eternal rest

No, I didn't disturb your daughter in her eternal rest, but I disturbed you in your disturbing of the eternal rest of two daughters of other men as you mocked and offended those young women and I will remind you about this every time you're to going to lie about this. Get lost, lying psycho.

I used personally

The world doesn't revolve around you, the most "important" nobody. We were discussing what Poles are saying in Poland and not what one Polish American is saying in the US.

cała nasza literatura jest do dupy gdyż według twojego rozumowania
olbrzymia część słów powszechnie używanych w codziennej mowie jest bezwartościowym anachronizmem..

And here's another example of you twisting someone else's words. Pawian didn't write or suggest in any way anywhere that the whole of Polish literature "sucks" or that "do siego" is "useless". He simply stated that it isn't used in spoken language in Poland anymore. There's something seriously wrong with you. 🤨

News / Northern Lights in Poland [49]

According to this article there's going to be an aurora visible in the whole of Poland today/tonight:

pogoda.o2.pl/pozostale/zorza-polarna-nad-polska-1-stycznia-2025-widoczna-ma-byc-w-calym-kraju-7109595809176288a

I did get an alert about a K8 level aurora, but that was in the middle of the day so I'm not sure how much of it will last till the evening/night. We had a beautiful sunset here though - I took some photos, but unfortunately my phone failed to register its colours accurately and how beautiful it was :/

Language / New Years wishes in Polish? [40]

@Przelotnyptak1, I didn't claim in any of my comments that I've never heard of "do siego" or that this word doesn't exist, you obtuse liar. I just stated that noone uses it in real life in Poland when wishing people Happy New Year (in spoken language). Of course, in theory there is some possibility that there is someone somewhere in Poland who does that, but considering that I've lived my whole life in Poland and I've never heard anyone using it then I think I can safely say that it isn't widely used anymore (in spoken language). 🙄

Trylogia should be buried, not to mention Chlopi.

No, but you should burry yourself under some warm blanky with a hot chocolate and watch some feel-good movie with your wife instead of attacking people on New Year's Day, you petty little gnome. 🤨

Merry Christmas! :)🎄

The wafers were not only white, but also colored. The colored ones were intended for animals, mainly cattle.

My family has been giving the coloured ones to house pets and livestock for years.

Gingerbread made and decorated by my niece (baked by her mom, of course) :))): 🤗❤️

Love / Are Polish men deceptive behind their partners back? [34]

Before marriage, I haven't even had a real girlfriend

Aaahh, yeah... I meant to ask you about this at some point lol Now it makes more sense.

So, you see, I'd say that someone with so little experience shouldn't be making such authoritative statements about who can be friends with whom.

Negative. My wife is 9-10 out of 10. Her friend was nice, but not my type.

Then it makes it just more depressing. Because the moral of this story is that no matter how beautiful the wife is the husband will cheat on her anyway when faced with "temptations" lol And the mistress doesn't even have to be his type, as long as she's willing.

Do you realise how pathetic you make men look like? What's the point of getting married if men are so easy and weak?

I wasn't strong enough to be assertive. It's possible that I might have eventually gave in to the sin

I'm facepalming very hard right now... lol *sigh*

Imagine your wife cheated on you and her explanation would be "I wasn't strong enough to be assertive" :D What's so hard about saying: "I'm married, I love my wife, you're not my type and I'm not going to have sex with you."?

Perhaps my wife noticed the situation (even though she's never mentioned it to me) and she moved on to letting the friendship go.

Of course she did. And it looks like she cared about your marriage more than you did, because she was the one who stepped in and took the preemptive measures by sacrificing her friendships and social life. You're lucky that this was her decision - that she decided to dump her friends back then and not you... I would dump you.

Btw, how old you two were when you got married?

Off-Topic / Let's talk about shoes [333]

And that they "like" it is probably an understatement lol:



"@thegravellesstraveled2320
I was a US soldier stationed in Garmisch Germany and I would hike up the mountains on my off days. One day I took a friend who was new to the base. We got about half way up and he crapped out. As he was sitting on the side of the trail trying to recover an elderly German women passed us and asked him his age. He said 22. She laughed and said she was 78 and kept on laughing until she was out of sight 🤣

Love / Are Polish men deceptive behind their partners back? [34]

but did you follow them to a more secluded place

Like where? lol Majority of people in Poland don't live in some villas where you could find a secluded room and cheat there on your spouse while a birthday party or a Christmas Eve supper is taking place lol And couples usually stick together at such events.

Obviously, there are always going to be cheaters out there and modern technology makes organising trysts (?) easier these days, but Ron2's notion that noone can have friends and normal social life because they're going to cheat on their significant other is ridiculous. He's simply projecting his weakness on others.

Love / Are Polish men deceptive behind their partners back? [34]

@Ron2, don't blame the circumstances - everybody else was living in the same circumstances and people somehow weren't cheating on each other en masse. It sounds like it maybe wasn't just a physical attraction and you had a crush on your wife's friend?

Btw, how long have you two been married at that time when your wife decided to cut off her friends? Was it right after the wedding? And when did you notice you have a thing for her friend?

(she might be cheating on me too).

Is that what she told you or are you assuming she might?
Paulina

Love / Are Polish men deceptive behind their partners back? [34]

Assume you have a sweet tooth. What is the best way for you to avoid eating a cake?

Honestly? Having a good enough reason for not eating that cake and exercising strong will. You can't live your life with avoiding even the mere sight of cakes all the time lol There was a time when I had to resign from sweets despite living with someone who didn't have to be on such a diet. It was hard at the beginning and I missed unhealthy food a lot. Even an ice cream add on TV would make me feel depressed lol I would only eat dark chocolate and some fruit as treats. But after a while I got used to such diet and started enjoying healthy desserts. I forgot what is the taste of normal chocolate and treated dark chocolate as a treat even though I hated it at the beginning as "too bitter". The same was with drinking water instead of sweetened tea. At first I hated drinking water lol Now it's normal for me and I drink tea only during social meetings.

I really think it's best not to take up the challenge or you will fail.

Listen, I do agree that eliminating temptation/threat of cheating is a good idea if you know you have a weak will. That's a responsible thing to do and I applaud you for that. But don't assume that everyone else on this planet has as weak will as you do.

A marriage may be perceived perfect but one or two of the spouses may cheat and only them may know about it.

You can say the same thing about couples with no friends though *shrugs* Your spouse can cheat on you with a coworker, a prostitute, your neighbour, etc.
Paulina

Love / Are Polish men deceptive behind their partners back? [34]

@Ron2 again, sorry, but this doesn't depend on age. It depends on your values and character.

But when you are in your 20ties then any kind of friendship can lead to cheating. That's how it is.

This is nonsense. You'd have to be some kind of nymphomaniac lol Maybe that's how it is or was for you, but not for me, for example.

Why, do you think, people get divorced?

For all kinds of reasons, cheating being just one of them.

If I was immoral

Well, you wrote yourself that you were more than likely to cheat on your wife with that woman. Being attracted to someone else than your spouse is one thing, but actually cheating on them is another... Cheating is a choice. An immoral choice.
Paulina

Love / Are Polish men deceptive behind their partners back? [34]

@Ron2, sorry, but that's messed up... If you can't have friends or you both end up cheating on each other then there's something seriously wrong with your marriage (or you have a very weak character)... 🤨

In my head, I liked the other married woman and it's more than likely I'd end up cheating my wife with her

Well, that's just sad and shows your lack of morals and restraint and weak character... Does your wife know about this?

it was the only way to go for us

That's your problem though... Plenty of married couples have friends and don't cheat on each other o_O
