History / Royal Family still in Poland? [79]

On the other hand a head start for hypothetical Polish throne would have Czartoryscy or Zamoyscy. If Zamoyscy would get back their land they would be quite wealthy.

Also where do you get off claiming it is nonsense to say that Poland is not the only country that suffered in Europe?

Oh come on get real, First of all I do not claim that only Poland suffered that what delaph said; how do you measure impact? I would say that events of yore have less impact than recent ones.

In my opinion beating takes the cake-

you missed my point again - my fault or you are busy.
I'm not talking about beatings, that already bad situation. I'm talking abut the fact that feminist biased and ideological outlook clouds the issue not helps to get to the root of pathological relation.

Until relatively recently half of our species was largely excluded from contributing to this store of shared wealth because few people saw the value in educating women

That is not true, until recently only fraction of population received education and women have not been excluded. If you are talking about 19th century educating males over female were of an economical nature which not longer applies.

But often men are economically and socially more able to get themselves out of abusive relationships, and also physically to defend themselves.

What it has to do with anything, my point is that feminism do not help anyone and just creates new divisions. Society is not perfect but giving more and more power to the state is not an answer.

Think how much the lives of all of us can be enriched if we get better at harnessing the genius of women, which isat least the equal of men's.

I haven't been saying anything against women. I like women, but in terms of rights they have everything. What we are or rather what feminist are talking about are privileges not rights, I don't thinks that women should be privileged and all problems between couples shoudl be dealt with from the point of view how to help relationships, married couples, families to deal with problems and how to solve them.

Not by creating laws and talking about equality but helping men and women to realise their differences and similarities and make a best of it living in harmony.

the attitudes of some men towards women is the root cause, in that they think it's OK to take out their anger or frustration on the women they live with.

that is just an assumption that is the point, women can be aggressive as well

Is not only about physical abuse, often relations between man and woman in relationship are screwed, it is more complex than somebody beats somebody else up,

The qestion is what to do with that? Should the state intervene even if woman or a man in qestion do not makes complain, should it be probably investigated and a root cause of the problem discovered?

That all good questions and shoudl be addressed. However they are not because all is blamed on men and religion and patriarchal society. That was feminism is all about biased ideology who trove on dividing people not on finding solution to the problem

Oh no Iron, I'm not. I

you are, instead of watching pictures you should listen to what they are saying.
I posted it somewhere:

Well that film is an answer to feminist propaganda but crux of the matter is that domestic violence should be addressed in a proper manner, not blaming everything on men and their alleged attitude. That not science that ideology - that the point of the film and it is hard not to agree with that.

Oh, what's the point, Iron? :) You clearly made up your mind already.

What is the point on posting on forums then if not exchange of arguments? trolling?

As I wrote it's a bit more complicated than that, imho.

Nothing complicated about that, women are free to vote for anyone be it a woman be it a man.

What jobs exactly? I think any job that involves using your brain is suited for women.

Now you are being sexist, seen the men as fit better for physical work.
To answer your point - brain is distributed evenly in both sexes but both genders differ in psyche and priorities and the way they approach problems. In my opinion fewer women than men make are a good material to be a boss. Those who do are in minority and hence their problem - that all but that would be a natural selection.

As for voting for men - women can also be part of the problem, as I wrote, because that's the way society brings us up.

Ah so women vote on men and all this big hallo feminists are making is to brainwash them into voting on women just because they are women.

Pretty name just to say - hey we know better and you are stupid slave to a convention - our convention is better cause it is #(befits us few).

Women can be also convinced that a man must be a better candidate because... well, "because" :) Because that's the way it's always been. I think women are more likely to don't believe in themselves in such case, because that's the way we were brought up.

Sure another case when you are telling to people that their thinking is wrong and not-modern and they should listen to you. Why?/ just because.

In that case if they do not their ass from their elbow why do they have the right to vote?Shouldn't that be restricted to only those citizens who know what they are doing not some morons. The problem is who is going decide who are those wise people.

Who said anything about dividing? Quite on the contrary.

so far its all about women so how is that not dividing.

I don't know what you're talking about in this sentence, tbh.

do you know what social engineering and cultural revolution are? If not look it up.

If you say so, Iron lol I'm sure you know everything better :)

If you disagree with me tell me why.

Well, I have some issues with that film but it's too hot, so I won't bother today.

Well that film is an answer to feminist propaganda but crux of the matter is that domestic violence should be addressed in a proper manner, not blaming everything on men and their alleged attitude. That not science that ideology - that the point of the film and it is hard not to agree with that.

It's a bit more complicated than that.

Why? If women in Poland wanted women to rule them and women in Sejm - they are majority they would voted them no problem.

I do too, but the sexist attitude also exists.

What do you mean? Maybe women are not perfectly suited for every-job?

Why there haven't been a woman president in an entire history of USA, for example?

Maybe because most women are not interested in politics and if they are they are voting men, simple.

You see, it ain't that simple. Attitudes have to change too, mentality, not only law. I don't think we're quite there yet, even in the US. Maybe more so in some Western European countries?

I don't think that there are some widespread common mentality which need to be changed or addressed. I think that dividing people along a line of sexes is wrong.

After all it is nonsense? How you gonna do it in practice? After all those Democratic countries that want Presidents or PM to be women can do it in no time by the overwhelming votes of either sex.

All that changes and stuff is just social engineering and cultural revolution both things ugly if you look at them close up.

It wouldn't make much sense then

So called equality as seen by feminist and all that philosophy do not make sense Paulina. (that video-link posted by zimmy makes a lot of sense).

Parliamentary or government quotas are nonsensical nonsense if i may say so. After all women have the right to vote and if they wanted to vote on women they would, nobody force them to do otherwise.

Because women have different physique than men

Women have also different psyche as well. All that for a good reason and both sexes should compliment each other.

The problem with high positions in Poland is that buddies (

Really? Don't you think that goes beyond sexes? peculiar view you have on the issue. Would that be all right if buddies were women? so blame buddies system not men or sexes differences.

Perhaps suffragists wanted the right to vote because they hated men that much

so there is the right to vote, to be elected, women can do what they want really. Somehow and out of the blue it is not enough and not fair and it is men fault.

Paulina are you serious?

That would be because the EU makes life in Poland easier.

Is that right? All for free? A Good old uncle the EU.

Care to quote me saying that? Oh, no, you can't, because I didn't say that and you are very simply lying, yet again.

you said that other work for the keep whereas priests are taking money from gullible?Is that not the same?Of course it is the same as saying that priests do not earn their keep.

Do feel very free to argue against any of the facts I posted.

I have already argued all those claims, few times already.
I cannot be bothered to do it one again just to be ignored and then after few weeks or days you or somebody else would reaper with the same old dish as if nothing ever happened.

Both taxes and the way the church and priests are taxed and the reason for government payments are easy to find. Do your footwork first if you really don't know.

I suspect you don't want to know.

But to answer it, the very foundation of the church is SUPPOSED TO BE based on the love, selflessness, compassion, sharing and forgiveness, NOT luxury.

Gee what luxury? The only thing that can be pointed out are cars - good cars but by no means lavish or luxurious. So, priests have good cars which are need for them to make their work efficient.

So what? should they all ride on donkeys to satisfy your fancy?
Anyway Are you Catholic that you are presuming on the role of the RCC? Did you write a latter to your bishop?
Ever heard about policy - no pay no say? Do you support financially your local parish?

Those people earn their money, rather than begging it from the gullible.

Are you telling us that politician is Poland (or elsewhere) are really earning their keep? Living form the taxpayers and it is been worse they force them to pay taxes. Strangely enough I haven't heard you ***** at them nor the EU bureaucrat who doing nothing but making the life difficult for an average Joe.

Each of them makes a lot more than any priest would ever make.
Also saying that priest do not work for their keep is the biggest and vilest ideologically biased lie I even heard bar Soviets lies. You Harry are like ideologically blinded mad dog.

Two reasons

Save that rubbish for gullible.

No, you can't justify this with that. Except politicians, all the other 'professions' you mentioned 'produce' a lot of money.

Polson - son ?politicians produce money like print them? what? that the joke of the day mate!
Not to mention all politically related perks and jobs for few who do not do much just enjoy a good life.

Most just want to not be discriminated against on the grounds of gender, and to have the same chances as men.

What that mean? In details.

The OP thinks the Women's Congress is to representative of all Polish women.

The OP think it isn't not representative and so do I. That event is already highly politicized and ideologically biased. It is not as it claims the Women Congress but Ideological Congress of Some Women. In that light your advice seems somewhat amiss.

When you speak about marginalizing women issues you are showing yourself to be talking rubbish. What is that animal women issues?
Such Congress will not solve any woman issues, they will talk about few lesbian and few outlandish Seuss which do not affect majority of women at all.

Yeah the point is that you can't have it both ways can you name a more dangerous job than prostitute?

The point is that is not really an honest job. That is either calling or a perfect example of falsehood of a modern secular society.

Otherwise, they should not call it the Polish Women's Congress but Polish Feminist Forum or something along those lines.

Bolsheviks have been always know for making outlandish, untrue claims just to gain upper hand in a propaganda war. They are following well traveled track of their fathers.

Why does this bother you so much?

Probably because it is all BS and propaganda set to fool people and one which doesn't have women interest at heart.

I would like to add that probably it is not fair to count Russia an Prussia as European countries. They both were oddities in Europe.

As for Austria that Germanic mountain kinglet can be regarded as a vulture among countries. Set on its Alpine perch and watching for the right time to snatch a carcass from stronger predators.

Ancient history do not apply here. We are talking about established major Christan country in Europe. I think that after middle ages the partition of Poland has been an event without precedence. I don't even think that countries concerned planned that this way but once they started there were certain dynamics involved that made that happened. \It was beginning of imperial era and of building and maintaining colonies, of the world without Christan values prevailing and without Papacy as a moral and political arbiter.

In short a new bold world without self restraint and without morality to guide its policies.
Slavery become attractive again and tyranny became an attractive option.
The world heralding progress regressed to a deep well of immorality dressed as the rule of reason. Fact the world progressed materially but became a moral pigsty to even the ground for Soviets and Nazi's.

Language / Slavic languages words similarities with Polish [240]

It's imortant to know for a people where their roots stem from.And not to be ignorant.

Roots and a language could be two different things. Also even if tribes 2000 years were close knitted they went their own ways and developed for the most part their own distinctive culture.

Those who failed to do so and have developed partial not complete culture are seeking for some mythical roots in their language.

What sounds better is a question of taste and your taste is very original, to say the least.

Well, in my opinion "Arrow" is more suitable as a pseudonym of a commanding general. Also I wouldn't use "Grot" in this contexts because that word in the English langude means number of things and all of them unpleasant or gross.

OK - arrow-head is better?

It is better but it doesn't sound that good in English as an "Arrow" as a pseudonym. "Arrow-head" bring to mind "Butt-head" and being shafted.

"Arrow" sounds much better and is also meronym of the world "arrow-head".
Is that good enough for you Dear Madam?
