News / Polish MEP Korwin-Mikke's latest outrage, insulting women [216]

conservatives are generally for tradition, stability and time-honoured solutions that have worked. Leftists want to shake things up through social experimentation

Franco's Spain was a nice example of a rightwing utopia that failed because it was too counter to human nature (and the killing let's not forget the death toll).

What works best is a stable foundation that gets shaken up some from time to time to keep it from stagnating into traditionalism.

Rightist dreams of a nation of female homebodies with no interests beyond kinder, kirche, küche are just as stultifying and suffocating as left wing extremism is disorienting and nihilistic.

Moderation in all things, including moderation.

Them again?

Please feel free to point out any factual innaccuracies.

And on the definition:

money quote: there were, however, no indications of an increase in the actual number of people who fell victims to sexual crimes between 2005-2008

News / Polish MEP Korwin-Mikke's latest outrage, insulting women [216]

I've discussed this with a Pole who lived in Sweden and he explained that Sweden has simply a different qualification of rape and they're counting offences in a different way nowadays than the rest of the Europe or sth, hence the high statistics of rape in this country.

read this and try to still believe that

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

And if that answers any other questions relating to having an immensely privileged life in that difficult period

It can be safely assumed that neither of the brothers K suffered much before martial law (during which only one was detained). I've said before that the communist party was probably like the mafia in Sicily - a lot of people were kind of affiliated with it though they didn't have formal membership.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

He volunteered to prosecute all people who broke what the commie regime decided would be against the law

He volunteered to work for them. Did he actually work there? I actually forget since I don't tremendously care.

That's a pity: all posts here must be in English.

You can post the Polish and translate it (with source).

the oath taken by prosecutors contained wording

mentioning dissidents? I doubt it.

The truth, that he volunteered to work for the office in charge of prosecuting dissidents (among others) is certainly bad enough. No need to sex it up with the 'volunteered to prosecute dissidents' line which, since it can't be backed up, makes it easier for people to make excuses for him.

volunteered to prosecute the dissidents

Please, find where he wrote or said "I volunteer to prosecute dissidents" (I want those exact words in Polish).

The truth is bad enough but your silly exaggeration weakens the effect.

name one discipline where women are better at?

giving birth?

An old ethnography (of an African group I think) quotes an old woman (approximately) "Men can't have babies and so they have politics and wars, women can have babies so they don't care about that other stuff..."

The more a man crows about male "superiority" the more he's jealous of the female ability to create sentient life...

So why do so few of those girls go on to take a maths based degree when they're clearly capable of it:

the importance of emotional intelligence and social skills at both of which women tend to outstrip men

Don't you think there's a connection? Math, especially higher math tends to be a people free zone where individuals need to be by themselves a lot.

Proportionatley, that will appeal to fewer women than men.

men and women are equal in general intelligence

My understanding is that there is no significant difference in average IQ between men and women but the distribution is different. Women cluster around the middle and men or more spread along the whole bell curve.

Therefore there are very few dangerously stupid women (and no shortage of dangerously stupid men) but at the other end there are far fewer transcendentally brilliant women than transcendentally brilliant men.

A useful heuristic, mother nature plays the odds and plays it safe with women and goes all out boom or bust for men. This is also why there are almost no women who could not find a romantic partner if they really want one and no shortage of men who are completely excluded from the mating market....

News / New European Council's report: "Poland oasis of racism, xenophobia and homophobia" ... [343]

prosecutors around the country have been ordered to to check up on homo liaisons

Including those of the leader of PiS?

Biedroń who posed with his male hook-up partner on the Newsweek cover had better watch his step

You know who else persecuted homos, don't you?

In other news, please, I beg you, do us all a favor and go and have some gay sex and stop obsessing about it.

News / The Mayor of Warsaw Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz cuts down 150,000 trees in the Poland's capital. [84]

your potlical friends and heroes

Please, I'm an adult. I have no political friends or heroes. If I ever discover I have political heroes I'd probably through myself in front of a train...

The wheels of Ziobro's justice grind slowly

YEah, given his power, it's probably better that he's so incompetent.

utlimately the truth will trumph

didn't Stalin say something like that?
