News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


It sure is.

I've recently read an interesting story about Emilia Wojtyla, a mother of a future Pope John Paul II. When she was pregnant with him, she was advised by a doctor to have an abortion because "neither her or her child would not survive a childbirth".

She have decided to take that risk and have a child. She didn't die and gave birth to a healthy boy.

I simply illustrated what's the current legal situation regarding abortion in Poland is. And it is allowed when the pregnancy is a result of rape or in case of life-threatening situation for a mother.

Abortion-on-demand, on the other hand, looks more or less like this:

"Look honey, we had some fun the other night and now you're pregnant. We have to kill that baby because, when born, it may decrease our standard of living"


Nah, I still think that you're more than that but there's some room for improvement :-)

*Just to be clear by most cases I mean those excluding rape or life-threatening situation (because it is so easy to predict what the main line of defence will be in this case :-)

Why don't we be honest about the abortion? Pro-abortion "pro-choice" activists are often hiding behind some phoney excuses while in most cases their motivation is simple:

We want to be able to kill defenceless human beings because it is easier than controlling our sexual lust. And we want to have sex without consequences. As simple as that.

Like Robert Gwiazdowski, lawyer and an economist, said: "woman had a choice when she spread her legs" :-)

@Atch, He does have great achievements in discouraging many young people from following misleading socialist ways and getting trapped in a brain-damaging mindset of a political correctness.

I disagree with him on some occasions yet he's got my gratitude just for doing that.

Interesting and inspiring doesn't always has to be impressive. And the real measure of intelligence is not producing a publicly acceptable statements. Most of the time is quite on the contrary.

@mafketis

That depends what you mean by a "good way". That man for example has predicted a financial and structural problems of ZUS a few decades before it started to be visible to a general public. Many narrow-minded folks even now don't believe that there is a problem ... :-)

I pick myself those ideas which JKM shares that I find interesting and inspiring. We don't have to accept everything uncritically. Let's leave that to a totalitarian-minded people which can't think for themselves :-)

Let's take Churchill for example. I think that he was a grim character and, ultimately, a loser who put the final nail in the coffin of the British Empire.

He didn't deserve such an appraisal which he receives in Britain.

Yet, he has produced a handful of interesting, inspiring and thought provoking quotes.

You are wrong, @pawian. Janusz Korwin-Mikke is a vital part of Polish contemporary political culture. You can either agree or disagree with him but you can't deny that he is very intelligent, interesting and charismatic public figure.

A monkey is a much better voter than a socialist. Statistically speaking, if we assume that there are two options to choose from: the "A" and the "B" - the monkey is voting randomly, so its wrong 50% of the time. The socialist, however - is always wrong.

On a contrary. Proverbs are being made by people and are based on facts and situations that happened in a country.

A modern forms of a folk proverbs are internet memes which often make their way to a common language.

Poles not only blocked a flood of "refugees" into our country but also put a tame to LGBT indoctrination. This shows that this proverb is quickly getting outdated. Indeed, Pole is wise before the damage.

Travel / Are Polish people as unfriendly as Slovaks? [84]

@pawian, strangers are also those that I know briefly, including those which I've met online [only].

Also, there's no such thing as "this" or "that" logic, unless it is used in derogatory form.

There's only one true logic which is a perfect weapon for crushing relativism in its various forms.

So yes, same as with "true lies" or "social justice", "this logic" is just an oxymoron.

So whenever I will use a form "by your logic", you should know that it is a form of an intellectual disrespect :-)

Travel / Are Polish people as unfriendly as Slovaks? [84]

The fact that I was briefly introduced to Slovak language a decade ago by a young blonde lady from Slovakia could be the answer to that.

Slovak and Polish has many similar words and it sounds very familiar. When it comes to linguistics, and also genetics and a culture, they're our closest relatives next to Czechs and Belarusians.

Jak sie masz - ako sa mas
Dzien dobry - dobry den
Do widzenia - dovidenia
Dobry wieczor - dobry vecer
Jak się nazywasz - Ako sa volas (volas-wolasz in Polish, which means "to call")
Potrzebuje pomocy - potrebujem pomoc

Travel / Are Polish people as unfriendly as Slovaks? [84]


direct quote from my post:

"I'm friendly towards my friends and hostile towards my enemies (...) As for the strangers I don't care much about them (...)"


No, Slovak sounds much more similar to Polish than Ukrainian. Not to mention that your alphabet is impossible :-)

Travel / Are Polish people as unfriendly as Slovaks? [84]

That depends.

I'm friendly towards my friends and hostile towards my enemies. And I can be very crafty when it comes to hostility so it's better to get on my better side :-)

As for the strangers I don't care much about them unless they fall in one of aforementioned groups.

That was a warm welcome if you haven't noticed yet.

PS: I have two Slovak friends and they understand me when I speak Polish. Good for them, I don't understand half what they're saying in Slovak, heh

News / POKO and LGBT lobby is trying to sexualize children in Poland. Now they aim for adoption [120]

The news is real. The fact that is not being published by liberal-left mainstream media is understandable since they don't inform anymore but rather "creating a narrative". Would you only believe it if it was on a front page of The Guardian?

@pawian, would you share some statistics about alleged discrimination of women in Poland, especially when compared to the rest of Europe and the world?

And the same for rape statistics if you're so kind.

And you would be right. When Solidarity carnival started in Poland, DDR [East Germany] was the first to ask USSR military intervention in our country.

@pawian

You take criticism, or even just different opinions, very badly. And you don't dispute with facts but rather quickly jump to ad hominem arguments.

Those weaknesses will be exploited by your opponents.
