News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [568]


So his life mattered more?


She was an American politician and lawmaker whose death was equally as shocking as Charlie Kirks. Out of respect and courtesy, one would think that Trump would have attended the funeral, but he was apparently playing golf at the time. Biden and Harris did attend.


Well I have to hope that it's not from the male point of view in that satirical sketch...otherwise there's no hope for you....

After seeing some of his debates I would say that he liked to win, which is much easier if you have a weak opponent.

A serious question for the PF Americans.

Why is it that the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband earlier this year didn't receive anywhere near the same degree of outrage as that of Charlie Kirk? Not only that, but Trump and Vance didn't even bother attending the funerals. To me, that shows a total lack of respect. Thoughts?


You could equally be talking about some of the PF men with that statement.

When I think of you, Iron, this Harry Enfield sketch comes to mind 😂

No takers so....


To talk about something one doesn't understand or know anything about.

My observations from watching a few clips of him is that many he debated were very young and with limited life experience. Therefore, his opponents were easy to verbally defeat because they were lacking in skilled debate. He also had a tendency to talk over women and interrupt before letting them finish.

Some of the questions were obviously known in advance to him as he was reading from notes he'd prepared.


Considering Kirk was all about the family unit being the most important thing, I find this strange given that Trump has 5 kids from 3 different marriages. He's hardly an advert for matrimonial bliss.

Because he's become a Christian martyr since his death. People are horrified because he was killed for his views.

Prior to his assassination he was largely unknown outside the US.

Yes, but I was addressing your point of westerners drinking in the evenings when it's clear they also drink in the day.


Predictable response when you don't like the answer. If you don't like Poland then leave and stop whining.

Bollox. You're talking about alcoholics who will start the day with alcohol regardless of country.


Try going into a Wetherspoons in the day. Full of drinkers.

I can guarantee that every time I walk down my local high street, there will be drunks sat somewhere either drinking or fighting with other drunks.

Life / If you lived abroad, would you like to have a Pole as a neighbor? [93]


Where did I say anything along those lines? I'm not disputing numbers of Poles living abroad. What AntV was talking about was the difference between those leaving and returning. These days there is decreased emigration from Poland due to the improving economy, and more are returning. For example:

I would agree with that. Certainly from the UK and Germany, if not other European countries.

Is this supposed to be some kind of point scoring exercise?

Capitol Hill riots, Charlottesville car-ramming, El Paso Walmart shooting?


I'm centre-left but that's it. Why you persist in trying to put people into boxes is beyond me. Go back and shove your crap in the designated thread and spare us all.


The irony. Both you and PAK, two of PF's right-wingers, denouncing the left for violence while advocating for it yourselves. You couldn't make this sh!t up.

I now of it but can't say I've ever used it or heard anyone else use it either.


Ok, thanks for that maf. Makes sense now.

News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [568]


People that commit acts like this are extremists at the far end of the political spectrum whether they be left or right-wing. The vast majority of people on either side of the divide would not advocate for violence.

You appear to have a problem understanding this.

I'm not cheering or glad about what happened to Charlie Kirk. No-one should be killed for their beliefs. As others have said though, he was largely unknown outside of the US. Most of the vigils and memorials for him in Europe are because he has now become a Christian martyr.

You talk of the left and violence but it is you, along with Novi, who are wishing ill-will towards PF members who dare to disagree with your worldview.

Not sure why there appears to be so much confusion with the thread title........


Waffling on and on about nothing in particular with very little information conveyed?

Sort of fits with the meaning I found.


To be honest, the more I read the more confused I got with this one.

Has this been solved or not because I'm slightly confused....


So is it not to do with sticks/sticking at all in any context?

I was doing a lot of reading and found 'they'll throw the book at you', but I don't think that's right.

I would say that this definition is similar but the details are often unpleasant rather than just hidden.


I think this one is closest in meaning.
