Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

repeat the same mantra 'go back to how things were'.

They are really crazy male chauvinists. Women won`t give up they rights they already gained in the past. All this male whining about leftist feminism is useless.

Hey, chauvinists, instead of forcing women to live like their grandmothers did, why don`t you change your own lousy attitude and start taking more care of the household and kids? Also, build more child care facilities. Also, improve the alimony system which allows guys to avoid paying for years. Also, improve the education system. Also, etc etc.

the only right a man has that a woman does not is the right to die protecting them

Now, tell us when was the last time that Polish males had to die protecting their females during a war?

I think that it was about 70 years ago. So, do you suggest males have the right to say they can`t change their chauvinist attitude to women because they have to be ready to die for them?????

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

Please tell me one specific "right" that men have that women do not.

Really?? It is amasing you are asking such infantile questions. Men have to right not to deliver the pregnancy with terminal defects or the one which was conceived from incest or rape. While women have to deliver such pregnancies.

We have been talking about it for a few years now.

Let`s be honest - if males could bear kids, the patriarchal society would NEVER ban abortion. Males do it to women to control them. No more!!

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [275]

you

Me pity them for still not being able to deal with their national trauma although more than 100 years have passed. They are dreaming of playing a role of a hyena next to the Russian lion but their hopes are futile and in result they are making azholes of themselves. Their attitude deserves pity.

vouchers for Lada and Moskvich?

Not yet but if Russian-Hungarian friendship continues, Hungarians will be able to get new-old* Russian cars at a huge discount.
* New coz produced nowadays but old like in communist times due to Western sanctions.

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

I read it was because of the covid vaccine that was making women sterile. :-)

Nope, that`s just another bollox urban legend theory. Don`t fall for them. :):)

a few generations ago we needed a large family to survive.

Quite credible. I will take it into account in future discussions. :):)

Plus with all the new women's rights laws today

After centuries or even millenia of male domination over women, the time for full liberation has come. It is unstappable. Anybody who opposes it is pissing agaionst the wind.

"we gave them the right to vote"

No, we didn`t. Women secured it for themselves through their resolute determination. Males didn`t give anything on their own, they were pressed and forced to yield to women`s demands.

What do Poles owe to Hungarians?

Right now, we owe Hungarians a travel back in time to the communist times when food was rationed. Due to their Prime Minister`s policy, Hungarians have to stick to limits when buying some products. Amasing.

dailynewshungary.com/strict-restrictions-at-hungarian-aldi-1-l-milk1-kg-potato-can-be-bought-at-a-time/

there were Aldi supermarkets where there were no eggs left. Among the harsh restrictions, you can now only buy 1 kg of potatoes and 1 litre of milk at a time. A week before Christmas, Aldi has been forced to limit the amount of its price capped products available for purchase.

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

According to new survey over 60 % of Polish women don't plan to have a child..

Yes. Thanks to PiS, bearing children has come to an end. Polish women refuse to have children when their rights are limited by rightist gov. Simple. Most women don`t want to risk getting pregnant if they have to deliver a foetus with terminal defects. The times of Polish Mother who clenched her teeth and endured every life trouble and discomfort have passed irrevocably.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

But escalating a situation with a gun might mean a worse injury or innocent people getting hurt

Yes, things escalate quickly in the Wild West while Poland is All Quiet on the Eastern Front.

Ooops, think about this pollution your flights generated..... :):)

History / Crazy 1990s in Poland - transition from communism to capitalism - stories [111]

The economist who gave the name to the reforms which transformed a communist country into a capitalist one was Leszek Balcerowicz. Hence, the Polish language adopted the term: Balcerowicz`s Plan.

To some people he was a saviour, to others - monster.

polishhistory.pl/the-balcerowicz-plan-an-economic-leap-into-the-unknown/

THE BALCEROWICZ PLAN: AN ECONOMIC LEAP INTO THE UNKNOWN
1989 - THE BEGINNING OF THE POLISH ECONOMIC REFORMS
Three decades ago, parliament passed a package of bills rebuilding the Polish economy - they came to be known as "The Balcerowicz plan". The dispute over the assessment of these reforms has been ongoing since 1989. One thing is certain - it was a pioneering operation that allowed for a rapid transition from communism to capitalism.

News / Scandals, conflicts, tensions, arguments - real life examples from Poland [492]

A huge scandal with the police in PiS controlled Poland.

It looks like police officers were too randy. They ordered two teenage girls into the police car and probably intended to drive to a secluded place but they had an accident. One of the girls commented: I am glad we had that accident coz I don`t know what they were going to do to us.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

This is key. there isn't an urban gun culture in PL

Exactly. That is why I am not afraid a potential attacker or robber or mugger etc will carry a gun. Most probably it will be bare hands or a knife. In such situations I am ready to show them my John Rambo knife and expect a similar result as in Crocodile Dundee 1 this is not a knife scene:

History / Piłsudski, like Hitler and Stalin (according to some Lithuanians) [144]

A/Some Lithuanians have made post stamps of Piłsudski side by side with Hitler and Stalin

That`s funny coz most Lithuanians during WW2 allied with Hitler in order to get rid of their greatest enemies, Poles and Soviets. That is why, juxtaposing Hitler and Stalin in a Lithuanian card looks quite hilarious.

Life / My Opinion About Poland After 2 Years [35]

I think that Poles take great care of their cities and towns

Yes, not bad with it here, the cleaning services are quite efficient, so you will never see such views of rubbish flooding the streets like in southern Italy.

What bothers me is throwing litter out of your car while driving in the countryside. I feel like puking when I see all those crisps wrappings, fast food boxes and empty bottles lying in the grass next to rural roads. Yes, after some time they are dealt with by the services, too, but if some Poles adopted a better approach, there wouldn`t be the need to waste money on cleaning the roadsides.

In the future Bereza Kartuska and the May Coup will be discussed only by historians specializing in the period.

I see. You advocate national amnesia.
How about Ukraine and its Bandera whose contribution to Wołyń will also be remembered only by Ukrainian historians ???

Pułaski, Paderewski, Piłsudski, Prezydent Wałęsa, Premier Tusk, Pan Kleks...all great Poles start with "P".

Pawian.

wanting to stifle free speech

Exactly, PiS have been striving to do it for years but Poles are too freedom oriented and there are still free independent media, judges, teachers, women and all. I am proud to be one of them - a free thinker who resists PiS dictatorship in words and actions.

you are communists

Yes, that`s how PiS abuse us too but to no avail - free people will never give in. Ha!!!

I would have kicked the door down and thrown the activists out the window,

Yes, rightists would like to do it with the opposition. Like communists in the past. Fortunately, we are in the EU and generally in Europe, not in Russia, so they can`t act in such a criminal way.

PiS is not introducing Socialism,

Actually, they do. :):):) You never lived in Poland, so you know nothing of it. E.g, communists harassed LGBT and PiS fully copies those dirty traditions.

Now when I told you about it you will start loving communists. hahahaha
