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


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. 🤔


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...


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

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

@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.


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


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]


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.


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


I have no idea what "MBP" is.

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


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.


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:

Of course they do. Ask Polish police officers.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]


This clearly is bullsh1t of epic proportions considering the statistics.


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? :)))

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]


I think there's something wrong with your maths... In 2022 the murder rate in Singapore was 0.12 and 7.5 in the US... That's WAY more than 5 times higher :)

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]

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


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? [1070]

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.

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


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? [56]

@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:

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.


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.


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.


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? [56]

@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). 🙄


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. 🤨

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


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.


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'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."?


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 [349]

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 🤣

@henkharlekin
As a german I can confirm that 19 km are the warm-up."

@Alien, because Birkenstock shoes are comfortable and Germans like walking and hiking? 🤔

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


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?


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

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


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.


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.

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


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.

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.


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.


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


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.

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)... 🤨


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


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

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

@Lenka, exactly. Such thinking is bringing down a woman to a sexual object and nothing more. It shows how primitive are the men who think in this way.

Some of the comments written by Poles to that video about RuSSians fleeing to Poland:

"@katarzynazieba2256
Oh no, in a while Putin will want to liberate them.

@Zciwomada
Tell Russians that all places are already taken by Ukrainians whom they chased out from Ukraine, and the poverty is so great in Poland that even the snow isn't snowing and the salt isn't salty."

lol
