I dont see how working ur arse off 10 hours daily in piluszks in careffour is supposed to be a successful independence.

Working 10 hours a day in a mine or collecting rubbish is a successful independence to you?

It is more like slavery

Not more than some men working in mines and other stuff.
Keeping women home, because it is 'how it should be', could be seen as slavery tho.

News / Poland to reject Snowden asylum bid [59]

I doubt that anywhere in the EU would seriously consider it.

True, sounds quite unlikely.
Should be South America. Unless he gets caught by his US fellowmen first.

i prefer to side with the russians ,and not with the americans

Russia, or actually the USSR tried to 'convert' everyone to 'communism' back then. I wouldn't 'side' with any of them ;)
I'd rather have a strong Europe to balance with those two.

Your thoughts?

Considering that to Poles, America is still their big buddy, I'm not surprised they rejected it. Relations between the two countries are good I think, if they had accepted, well, big trouble.

History / Pre-war or today's Poland? [50]

Harry's right, Polo. You want a fundamentally traditional Poland, and at the same an innovative country. Sounds a bit contradictory.
Among the most innovative countries you listed, most of them (esp. Sweden, Germany, and Denmark) are considered the least religious (and maybe the most liberal). Coincidence?

Food / Bigos Recipe [183]

Oh I wasn't complaining Polson, I love the food here

Very good then ;)
I'm a big fan of pierogi. Haven't had that for a while tho.
I also like Polish soups, but can't remember if I tried that cucumber one...

When God was creating the world He said: 'And yes, the Poles -- I will give them a land of flowing with milk and honey, .

He said that? ;)
Is it a Polish joke? Never heard of it. Or maybe I have... Anyway, it's a nice one.

The very idea you have no idea how a males should be rised already says a lot.

Tell me everything, you self-proclaimed enlightened (tough) boy.

When all our 'tough' guys have been reduced to effeminate pretty boys? When every action movie is meant to gather to women more then men?

What is tough to you? What should a boy/man be to be considered tough, virile?

So what on Earth IS the cause??

Extreme feminism is a 'deviance' of feminism. Feminism defends women's rights. Even if women don't have many rights in your world, from what I read. Extreme feminism goes too far tho, as every extremism, and should be fought.

People go to schools not because they want to become doctors, or programmers, they go to schools to get jobs and make money. Greed becomes the only form of fulfillment

Doctors and programmers are not jobs? Blacksmiths and carpenters used to work only for the sake of passion?

Yes, we already discussed this, and I completly demolished your argument. Your timid withdrawal right now suggests that you remmember is now, no wonder you don't want to go back to it.

You demolished nothing, you wish you did. You have your theories, good for you, bro, but please, stop with your aggressive, haughty, condescending manners. You won't make any point.

As to the article you linked, you were right, LOL.

(nothing like trying to turn boys into girls and then still tell them to go kill people when we invade other countries)

First, turn boys into girls?
Second, that's what they teach you in US schools? Don't blame it on feminism (if that's what it still is about, which I doubt). My teachers rarely promoted violence and war. And no, they didn't teach me how to sew and bake the best cookies either ;)

And why? So we can live with this illusion of fairness, and i say illusion because let's face it, men still rape women, racism still runs rampant, and discrimination is all over the map. Where's the improvement?

Each time has its flaws. And you're probably aware that extreme feminism (that's what you guys are blaming, the extremists) is a consequence, not a cause.

the destruction of family unity

Your childhood was that painful? Cuz mine was fine. And I can find a bunch of other people that would say just like me.

If you have new arguments and want to discuss futher the obiective existence of values and morality, let's revive that old thread.

It's not 'objective'. That's the problem. Anyway, it's Sunday, Lord's day(!), I don't want to spend all of it debating about this if we already discussed this.

Housework is much better than going to work!!!

Then do it, Goofy. Nobody will force you to work at Tesco and be shouted at by the nasty boss. And since you'll be home washing the dishes and such, you'll have to find yourself a nice rich wife. So if you want to buy a car or a house, she will gladly pay it for you, and you'll be so happy!

Ah, happy world, where the man decides for everything, and the woman just smiles and shows him all the due respect.

All that crap includes the computer you are using right now, ; the building you are in, the automobile you drive, the phones you use, the airplanes you fly in, the musical instruments you listen to, film, video, washing machines, the ( you fill in the blanks as the 'civilization list is too long to post here)...........

Oh Zimmy, Zimmy, Zimmy... No, no, no, the crap doesn't include all this. I'm very happy I'm using my comp, driving my car, and listening to some hell good music.

But that's not the point, and you know it (I dare hope). I was answering Kondzi who said that women have a bad tendency of messing things up.

You can't blame 'people' for being -supposedly- man-haters, and then defend this point of view.

Um, many men still work in mines. You oppose women raising kids?

I oppose the archaic view of the man working hard while the woman stays home, with kids, cleaning and cooking.

Up until very recently, western civilization was a healthy, flourishing society. Sure, there were some rough edges, but we definitely had a good ride

Rough edges indeed. Some were quite rough. Today's society really is not perfect, but if we could fix a few things, it wouldn't be that bad, on the whole. And that is not sending wifeys back to their kitchens, even if I do enjoy some nice food sometimes ;)

Anyway, whether you're right or wrong doesn't matter much now. We've got to a point where you can't go back. We better think of what is doable to make our lives better with what is today's reality, rather than looking back in the mirror.

a patriarchal family structure with a good emphasis on values and morals

Values and moral, I've heard that a few times already. And again, I'll answer saying that there is no 'fixed' values and morals. Some people will agree with you on the concept, but disagree on what is valuable, and what is morality.

women need to be kept out of the way because they have a tendency to mess things up.

And men do things right? All the crap that has happened to this world is the result of men's 'rightness'.
So what's your point? Men go back to mines while women stay home raising kids?

So, priests have good cars which are need for them to make their work efficient.

You must be kidding. Do you need a fancy BMW to go from home to the local church?
A normal car will do just as good.

Polonius, you're too good to always worry about our civilisation, and other people's well-being, but really, mind you own business. Are you married?

No-one will force you to marry your pet pigeon. You can keep whining at evil 'leftists' as you want, it won't change anything. If you want to live the 'traditional' way, why don't you shut down your comp and go buy a farm? Don't worry tho, you won't have to marry any of your pigs ;)

With the way things are going soon people will be able to marry their pets.

If you've heard about mutual consent, you're smart enough to understand that this won't happen too soon.

But no more horrible than politicans, celebrities, corporation executives, sports stars and others living in the lap of luxury while half the world starves.

No, you can't justify this with that. Except politicians, all the other 'professions' you mentioned 'produce' a lot of money. It's normal -to me- if they enjoy some of what they 'produce'. Even if sometimes it's really too much.

Plus, if we're talking about churchmen, don't they -traditionally- engage for a simple modest life with very little comfort? This has changed a lot. Well, in France, they are generally still 'poor'. In Poland on the other hand...

Polish priests who have Mercedes when the rest of the country has to cumulate two or three jobs to feed their kids, 'reasonable' to you?

full parity where profitable and prestigious seats in parliament, cabinet posts, managerial positions in commerce and industry, the media and academia are concerned

If they are competent, why not? It's just that still today, men are often prefered for these positions, over women with the same competences, skills, and experience. Men still look more 'serious' and maybe 'reliable' than women. It's a silent discrimination tho, hard to prove. But it's still there.

But let's make it clear: I'm not a pro-affirmative action (positive discrimination) either. Skills and experience should prevail, over gender, skin colour, religion, or whatever.

but let them share the less attractive jobs as well.

Are you saying women usually don't have ****** jobs? Cuz that's true...in no way.

including unification of Olympic and other sporting events.

So if women are generally not as physically strong, they don't deserve the same treatment?
This is not about 50/50 everywhere (it's actually more 100%/100%), but receiving the same treatment, regardless of your gender. Is that still too silly for you?

If this is the Christian morality you guys brag about, I won't agree with it.

Don't kid yourself that everyone wants a cushy job a lot of people find value in physically demanding jobs.

I agree. And you may find more men than women, because men are usually more 'physical' than women. Even tho I remember having a (female) neighbour who was working in a hospital, often during the night, and then would get home to take care of her 4-5 kids. That seemed pretty physical to me. Well, she was the kind of person who couldn't just sit and do nothing.

The point here is that there's no reason for men and women to not have the same rights. And that goes for work too.

Many women in need of a job take cashier jobs in supermarkets for instance. Of course, they don't risk poisoning or quartering, but they often can get badly insulted, threatened, and even physically attacked. It's probably not as 'bad' as getting your limbs chopped, but do we need to compare the degrees of risk? Risks are risks.

@Foreigner4

Buddy, do you really know any man 'actively seeking' out jobs where he could get poisoned or decapitated? I'm afraid most of the men that do risky jobs didn't really have the choice. If they could decide, they'd make more money and be safe.

Another woman complained that it was "offensive".

That's extreme, of course, can't disagree with you on this. But still, I think it's more an American thing. I don't hear such things here. Lots of people have pictures of their family in their office, and it can't be taken as 'offensive'. I once read that America was very (too much) pro-feminist, the extremist version, from what you told me ;)

female lorry drivers??

Well, that one is 'special'. It's a very manly job. If a woman wants to do that job, she has to be prepared to be mocked, and get told sexist jokes (for instance). Not as inviting if you're aware of that. But I heard more and more women become lorry drivers, so probably things are slowly changing.
