Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

First nations people, Natives, Aboriginals in Polish are called Indyjski. Which to them is offensive. It has nothing to do with the Indian ocean.

Well, you don't know your own language it seems:

Indian can be many things:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian

no, I learn every day how Polish people really are. Here is no different. You don't like somebody questioning the language, unless they are polish so you bring on the insults. That is fine, speaks volumes.

you can question all you want but you cannot decide for Poles whats what in the Polish language that is ridiculous!

I teach my children to be respectable to other cultures whether Polish people deem it to be necessary or not.

You cannot teach something you haven't mastered yourself.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

In Polish-- Indyski--first nations. Insulting.
Murzyn. insulting.

Its insulting quality exists only in a mind of a person who find it insulting. This is madness and you happily roll along with it.

so what is your point. It refers to a culture not the colour of skin

My point is that Indian refers to native inhabitants of India! Not to the colour of their skin. By geographical mistake Americans are also Called Indians( American Indians), when by right they should be called Americans and Americans something else.

My point is that Murzyn -Moor is neutral old word, name for dark skinned people since XIV century. There is nothing wrong with it. Murzyn can be person from any country whereas African logicically comes from Africa. That is potentially more racist - saying you are African why don't you go back to your continent!

Also African-American is nonsense, If African then not American, and if American means Indians then there should be another word invented for Europeans calling themselves Americans and so on ...

My point is that some names are just that - names.Those names are neutral, tools to communicate. A fact that hammer can be used to kill doesn't mean that all hammers should be banned as potentially deathly weapon.

If you want to insult somebody you will find a way regardless of words you are using unless you are a tool yourself!
when ignorant people without respect for others and history try to make an impact there are only disrespect other people. it doesn't just the fact that such people should stick where they belong, somewhere were a simple basic skills are enough, like business or politics.

Seriously thought Political Correctness is based on Marxist ideology which spread among many Americans dick-heads in the 60s. The key here is book of Herbert Marcuse "Eros and Civilisation" easy to read and simple enough for morons to understand, never the less based on communist ideology.

Why? It

Because at the same time he has delivered into Russian hands unending tools which can be used as weapon against him and his political camp.Blunder and stupidity unless he has something really serious to hide.

What fight? Parliamentary Commission and trusted specialist and the issue is solved.

But why would Russia care? The only care that Russia would have is that Poland is a large NATO country on her doorstep.

And she wants that country to be as weak as possible, what is so difficult to understand?

Certainly, Kaczynski was enough of a no-name President to be all but a lame duck in their eyes.

You are wrong! He formulated Polish eastern policy which resulted in his support of Georgia in their war with Russia. Georgia is still an independent country and Russia and especially KGB never forgets.

And twisted to suit their agenda

Unless you are prepared to present your evidence in the court of law I would advice against slanderous accusations against certain people.

they had to get a professor who wasn't even an expert in the area of which he spoke about.

Are you? I think that unless somebody prove that his calculations are wrong, you shouldn't be so stubborn and unreasonable as to possibility that his calculation could be right.

Because I think it's insulting to the dead to keep on mentioning all these conspiracy theories.

Come on delph! I know you on the PF over three years and you never struck me as particularly sensitive individual let alone that you would care about feeling of some strangers. That is totally false premise in my eyes.If anything you lack empathy.

Lets assume for the sake of our debate that you telling the truth, don't you think that the fact that members of those families in their own right do not believe in the official explanation and are asking for full inquiry and investigations to be held?

It must be said - most of the conspiracy theory websites out there fail to even get basic facts right.

I wouldn't know I believe you to be an expert on those. I'm only asking questions and I have no answers. Nevertheless your all-ready answers to all doubts and one sided approach is simply not on.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

The simulation which was based on factually incorrect data? It was already disproved, not least because they couldn't actually find a scientist with relevant knowledge.

Data from MAK report, the same report you claim to have explained everything sufficiently.

Combined with all the other heavy evidence in favor of an accident

There is no other have evidence in favor of anything other than compilations from the black box courtesy of Russian spec operations agency.

I long ago came to the conclusion that the Polish themselves haven't requested the return of the plane. It would cause too much trouble and open up too much division if it was in Poland. Can't you imagine the bitter fighting over the wreck if it was in Poland?

If that i so(which I doubt) than Tusk is even bigger looser then /i though.

Do you think Russia cares so much about Poland as to have a policy in place?

There is no doubt about that. Russia cares about Poland one way of the other.
Soviet Russia cared enough for British working class to subsidize " The Guardian". I think Russia cares tad more about Poland. Don't be jealous I'm sure she cares about Sottish oil fields too.

he simulation which was based on factually incorrect data? It was already disproved, not least because they couldn't actually find a scientist with relevant knowledge.

Well, surprise for you - it wasn't disproved. Nobody probed him wrong so they claim that the data was wrong. If the data was wrong so was MAK report, because data has been taken from that report.

The fact that you're all wasting so much energy on trying to prove that there was an explosion or foul play totally distract from the real causes of the accident.

Why do you waste so much of your energy to force accident as the cause of the crash? Why do you claim contrary to facts that I waste my energy here to prove something which I cannot prove. In fact I do not claim that it wasn't an accidence. I just say as it is. Without physical evidence (withheld by Russian) nobody can prove anything. All what I'm doing is disproving illegitimate and silly claims made by others in this thread.

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

The state of the President's body silences the conspiracy theories about the victims being shot or otherwise and makes it clear that there was a crash.

Really? Are you sure that you can exclude foul play based only on pictures?I think it is tad more complicated than that.

No but that it is the point of them being published. The point is to be provocative.

To be honest after refusing to return wreak of the plane and the black box all other stuff is just desert.I guess general public maybe viewing things from a different angle.

You are right WP to some extend. Russian policy is to keep government in Poland weak. Those manipulation are just that. That only confirms that Tusk is Iii rd player, because he give all necessary tools to Russians to do which him what they please. He should go and pronto!

WP - ask yourself one question - why couldn't it be an accident? T

Why? Go back and read about stimulation which hasn't been as yet proved wrong by other scientist t in the field. why are you repeating rubbish, for your own amusement? shame on you.

Do they bollocks! Poland is way down the list of things that Russia gives a shiit about.

Sweet pie do not open your mouth about things you have no clue about.

They basically show the dead bodies of some of the people in the crash. Some of the bodies are in drastic condition. The photos were deleted quickly from the blog but someone put them up on youtube and I saw them. To be honest I wish I had not [I lost to my curiousness]. It was horrible. I think they got taken off youtube now as well since I am now unable to find them again.

Are those pictures bringing anything new or significant about the Smolensk Crash? If not what gives?

Pawian is right though, there is something about constantly prodding and taunting Polish people that Russians are obsessed with [by Russians I of course mean the Russian government and people who work for them].

Russians?Nay, rather the clique of ex-KGB officers(ex - ha!) who are ruling Russia now.

Where does personhood begin? Not sure

Exactly, nobody knows and it is still life should we be more cautious as to arbitrary decisions until when abortion is an option.]
I think that such caution and the fact "it is alive" ,should make it clear that the only reasonable way out of the pickle here is to limit abortion only to exceptional circumstances.

There is no such option in Poland.

Oh but those women (at least majority)do want babies - but not just yet. And they can read and write, they can educate themselves there is no excuse.

Per capita the abortion rate in Polish women is nearly twice that of the UK. So much for being more careful.

It is just an estimation not actual numbers - right?

you state that men should also be involved in decision making, although you say above that women should educate themselves...

I said that if men are made by the law to pay on children born outside wedlock then only just is to give them say in a decision whether or not their child should be born.Its only fair.

You missing a point here - we are talking about women who do not want to have children - the same goes of curse for men.

Erm, I'm pretty sure they do.

That was pretty scientific observation:)
I on the other hand ain't so sure they do.

No one is saying that precautions shouldn't come first, but accidents do happen. Condoms do split you know?

I know but those are exceptions, majority of unwanted pregnancies are irresponsibility and stupidity.

So the facts are that 54% of women who go for abortions HAVE take precautions

So they say, don't you that is possible that those women asked about using precaution just lied and never used precautions.

When human life begins, is actually the main crux of the abortion debate

But it is pretty obvious isn't it?
My point here is - women who don't want children do not have to have them. They should educate themselves, and use precaution, that should gibe them certainty no conceive even if they decide to engage in sexual activity in about 95% - 99%,if they will go about that a right way.

Controversy over abortion gone, simple and elegant solution!

If you knew an embryo was not a person you wouldn't give two monkeys about what happened.

It is still life. Human life nipped in the bud.

eah. Why facts and published sources get in the way of a good argument?

I've repeatedly asked you to stop guessing about my personal circumstances and here you are CONTINUING to do so?

OK whatever you say dear! wether im wrong or not about your formal affiliation frankly I don't care.I just used that opportunity to express my opinion about people who give in to all those scientifically proven, modern and liberal ideologies.

I just want to add that whenever I will use you in my posts,you do not have to take it personally. I'm discussing it with you but also with women who are sharing your point of view, so there is nothing personal about my posts. The only reason I was guessing about your circumstances was when you posted information about your personal circumstances. If you refrain from doing so in the future we can avoid much of this redundant typing.

Stop trying to drag ME through the dirt

Stop playing a victim here. In our little exchange as soon as it was clear that I disagree with you on the subject debated you started throwing sarcastic darts at me,calling me genius and now calling me stupid and making personal and absolutely off-topic remarks about me. I graciously ignored that for most part making only one little remark about the hysterical way you posted. On the other hand you constantly and without reason are accusing me of calling you names and are talking about lows and dirty which I can attribute only to your own state of mind. I don't want to call you on double standards and hypocrisy and I want to believe that it is all an honest mistake on your part. Please deal with your problems without me.

Please do not read into my post something what is not there.

All you've been doing on this thread is making stuff up, and then debating this made up stuff as if it were reality.

That is your erroneous interpretation.
I just put a simple question to you. Why women who do not want to have children would not take the necessary precautions to prevent pregnancy?

In my understanding we are not debating wherever and when so called body cells become human but what could be done to avoid unwanted pregnancy and abortion.

Why not avoid all that big issue of abortion by ensuring that those women who don't want to will not become pregnant.
Do I make myself clear now?

It must be a wind up!

Just misunderstanding - you are talking about something else and I about something else.

Have you even referenced anyone or academic or philosophical standing yet?

This is a general forum, in here we are expressing opinions which could be baked up or not. I'm not here to learn or study because I can do it myself somewhere else - thank you.

Also so called evidence is just an interpretation of "something" and that interpretation is agreed upon by majority of specialists in a field.

Just in case anyone missed my earlier post, I'm sure it was ignored rather than taken into account

When I choose to debate a subject - when the life beings?- I will take it into account.

Yes, a man is entitled to his say. No, he is not entitled to sign a paper which may give him rights superior to the rights of the woman.

What his say is worth then?Nothing! If you think that women alone can decide whether or not they want children why men should pay anything at all on children? eh?no say no pay that is only right.

Pregnancy is personal to a woman.

Well, I was talking about majority there.

Just because one is able to do something it doesn't mean that one HAS to do it.

That is what I have been trying to communicate to you all along. You don't have to to become pregnant- simple enough.

See the difference?

I'm not getting your point if that what you mean. I think it is a moot point anyway, all I say that for women like yourself who do not believe in a sanctity of life, the best solution to avoid finding yourself in the place you don't want to be is to avoid pregnancy altogether. Nowadays it is not difficult there are other solution than sterilisation as well you should know.

You told me, in your complete ignorance, that if I didn't want to get pregnant I could get the snip.

Says you, there are few reasons why would you possibility be refused sterilisation, and I guessed few, no need to use it as a weapon against me.

As I said, pregnancy is whatever a mother perceives it to be.

It is moot point as well, all you can relate to is your personal experience to gain an upper hand here, all I can say that a quite few mothers didn't report their experiences as a trauma..

You can't get the snip in Poland

You said in this thread if you ever become pregnant in Poland you will take flight to the UK and fix it. You should assume that I'm reading your posts.

Doctors will not perform unnecessary, expensive, and painful medical operations on women of child bearing age unless there is a real necessity.

I named few possible reason what you were refused. If you weren't so busy looking for insults you would be able to notice it. Maybe not, you would rather play a victim.

As I have said already there are other methods to control your fertility. So I simply do not understand the issue here. You don't want children, you prevent it from happening.

Unless you are an activist of pro killing life organization.
I believe that to be so because of your post and because the way you "debate".
I'm just humble poster with a sensible attitude who believe in practicable solutions and in a honest debate. I detest propaganda of any sort and manipulations of any sort. I think that people who are trying to force issues which need not to be forced are not valuable people. They are that kind of people who are attracted to "causes" to "improve" humanity and they are the same kind of people who worked their way into the ranks of the Nazis and Bolsheviks, dutiful forging a new "better" world by mass murder and destruction. Thank you - no!

"hysterical women", and "immature"

How is that dehumanising? i would say that those are very human features. Would be rather described in mechanical terms?

Should really be having a discussion about where life begins.

should we?The moment of conception is precisely the moment when a life begins.

Ok! So if it's about facing the consequences I take it you'd be quite happy not to give any medical treatment to a child

Pregnancy is not an illness. Woman body is able to nurture life of another human being, if you do not want to become pregnant nobody is forcing you to do it. However if you become pregnant than it is entirely different matter. It is not about YOU any-more, your choice really. I don't see problem here nor contradiction - if you do not want children do not become pregnant - simples.

YOU UTTER GENIUS!

Well, thank you:)

Aside from the repugnancy of you actually telling me what to do with my body

Telling you what to do? Don't be absurd, I wouldn't be wasting my time on such pointless activity. Such hysterical reaction from you lol! Presenting options - how about that?

and aside from the fact that this thread isn't about my personal circumstances,

Is not? It is very unusual for mothers to refer to pregnancy as "a trauma". Anyway that "you" was addressed both to you personally and to all women who are thinking like you.Nothing personal.

. I've asked for the 'snipsnip', In fact I asked two doctors. None of the doctors agreed to it.

Well I can say that you are under the age of thirty, have no children and you haven't convinced two doctors that you are serious and mature person who will not regret that decision. there maybe few other considerations but my guess would be they pegged you immature or unbalanced.

Don't blame me now. You asked!

In effect, abortion underground will be blooming and women will put their lives in jeopardy.

According to that logic in order to eradicate theft people should be allowed to take whatever they want.

no one, not even the rcc, has the right to tell anyone, especially women, what they can do to/with their bodies.

Well Mr Medic could you expelain to me why do you regard a child as a part of women body?

nd men in black dresses

is that even means anything?should the decision be left to women in red strings and power hungry activists?lol(mods what was that new thingee about banked statements)

What this is really about is the Roman Catholic Church legislating morality

#The RCC do not take part in the legislative process.

LOL at the people (mainly men, I presume) wanting to force women through unwanted bodily trauma.

lol back at your presumptions, nobody want to force anybody to do anything, just to face consequences of their voluntary actions, if your activities lead to "trauma" you can only yourself to blame.

Nobody is forcing you to become sexually active and if you do I presume that you are aware of the consequence and also that nowadays you can enjoy said activities without having to go through such "trauma" - snip, snip! If you choose to do otherwise than there is only one person to blame - namely you!

If I were to ever become preganat whilst I'm living here, I'd be on the 1st flight back to the UK to expel the unwanted parasite feeding off my body.

If? you can make sure that you will never become pregnant - snip!(at least reasonably sure)!

Poland chose communism after WWII, they weren't betrayed by anyone. The US offered Poland the Marshall Plan but Poland rejected it. After WWII communism wasn't discredited like it is now. Many people thought it was the future of the world.

As for the reason of this unprecedented crusade of few British posers against Pol-Am poster is the fact that many of them do not agree with PC liberal view of the world and events presented by those few in numbers by very vocal and numerous in abusive words and posts PF members,

They even are of opinion (Pol-Am posters) that being part of the forum means debating on any given subject and they are used to express freely their opinions. Whereas enlightened trio on PF are terrified and feel abused when somebody ignores and mock such modern and progressive concept like taboo.

There are taboo words, taboo expression, taboo minorities and if somebody do not respect that, he/she abuses their religious beliefs.

- as a individuals which were obviously different from one person to other - individuals whose out of combat situation could behave the way they would act towards civilians - majority of them were behaving very badly towards civilians!
