They won't be staying there though. The Red Cross and various other organizations will help them to reach any family they have in other parts of Europe and if they have nobody - God it's heartbreaking, especially the old people - they will be sent to different EU countries.


But the people of England, that's a different story.

In theory, no. It's against the law for a lawyer to not charge. There is a minimum set charge for all legal services. But ......

There's a great deal of scientific evidence to support a biological factor. It may be a brief lifestyle choice for some people in their young adulthood but I think a genuine 100% gay person is probably largely naturally disposed towards being that way. I did spend a long time teaching kids and I saw more than one boy who appeared that way inclined from the age of about six. The girls are not as obvious for various reasons.


Not necessarily. Depends on what the issue is.


Not entirely but it's certainly influenced by it.

In other words, 'They never read my posts.'


Oh dear, very weak response. You're actually beginning to sound weary. It's not just a case of 'persons who fit these comments'. You said that 10 out of 10 women are like that.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


Because it's something that happens naturally. People don't 'become' homosexual. They're born that way. It's a natural state. Also nature doesn't need 100% of people to procreate. That's why some people are sterile. Nature allows these deviations from the norm, therefore the abnormal is natural :)

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

Here's my view. Normal means the norm and therefore heterosexuality is normal. Anything which deviates from the norm is abnormal so homosexuality is abnormal but not necessarily unnatural, if you get my drift. It occurs in nature, therefore it is natural. Then of course there's bisexuality which is a bit of a moot point because there are people who are bi but prefer one gender over another and may well live a largely heterosexual life including marriage and children - but then of course that's true of homosexual people as well - oooh what a palaver!

Btw I don't think lesbianism has 'progressed' as in grown more prevalent. It's just that more people are openly lesbian than a hundred years ago.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


Well, I wouldn't call it a mission but if we allow that definition, then the same could be said of men. Both men and women are programmed by nature to prorcreate. That's why people experience attraction to one another. It's nature's way of ensuring survival of the species. Having said that there are plenty of men and women who don't want children - and don't have them.


1. Do your wife and daughter enjoy reading your posts?
2. What do these recent comments of yours have to do with keeping women safe?

You'd like to think so. It's easier than accepting the fact that America is a mess, a mess that is uniquely your own.


Not on my watch. Montessori trained teacher here. No incentives, no rewards.

However, more importantly, I see you're still trying to avoid answering the many direct questions you've been asked in this thread. Never mind, your inability to do so, and watching you flounder as you try to backtrack this way and that, tells us all we need to know - as if we didn't already know it in the first place.

And once again, we're talking about America ...........

And once again you attempt to deflect - unsuccessfully I might add.

Incidentally the core subject of this thread was a piece of mildly salacious, speculative twaddle by a 'guest' poster.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


You fell very neatly into that trap :) In your haste to deny my 'diagnosis' you revealed that in fact you're a Mama's Boy - quelle surprise :))


When have I ever 'screeched' on this forum? I always express myself with great decorum, being the convent educated lady that I am. Preachy? Yes, indeed, I do enjoy delivering character building lectures to lost souls such as your little self :) Feminist - what's a feminist?? Karen? I'd vaguely heard of that but I had to look it up. Seems to be another American thing ......apparently they do things like asking to touch black people's hair????


If I were the type to ROFL I would :)) but I'm far too dignified as a result of my convent education. Btw we were never allowed to 'screech' at school. On the wall of each classroom was a quotation from Shakespeare 'Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.' We weren't even allowed to roll up our sleeves without permission. I have a feeling you don't know too many women who had the privilege of attending a good convent school - actually I have a feeling you don't know too many women, full stop!


You do seem to be under the impression that I'm ancient. I'll allow myself a lady-like lol! at that :)

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


In the USA perhaps. Your statistics are always US based and the US does seem to have more than its fair share of simpletons both male and female. I can assure you that in Europe we have something called spyholes in our door and we use them. To say that 10 out of 10 women open the door to strangers is an absolute lie. I don't do it myself. When I was fourteen I was stopped on the street by a man in police uniform who began to 'question' me. I looked at the uniform and it just looked wrong, wasn't quite the right design, his hair was too long as well. So I just told him to get knotted and walked off. An Irish teenager is clearly years ahead intellectually of an average American woman.


If you want do discuss it, no problem. It's a form of mental illness so the real discussion is about mental illness. Munchausen as opposed to Munchausen by proxy which is what you were referring to is actually much more common amongst men. But Munchausen by proxy, though almost exclusively female is a very rare condition. Now Tourettes Syndrome on the other hand, which in my view is a form of attention seeking behaviour is far more prevalent among men - and an entirely chosen behaviour. I remember watching a documentary where an adult male with Tourettes was effing and blinding all over the place with attendant spasms but he never had a spasm when he was carrying a pint of beer back from the bar - go figure as you yourself would say.

That's hardly a profound insight Novi. And you're wriggling. You think that I'm stupid enough to be mollified by a concilliatory tone, a few remarks about violent men and a profession of concern for the safety of women. What do these recent comments of yours have to do with keeping women safe?

"Women will never match men in anything not connected with delivering and breastfeeding babies.

Women are emotional lying nuts that rescue kittens but abort "fetuses". I forgot to add "dumb".

What women lack in physical strength, they make up for in conniving.

Because of women's casual relationship with the truth, only a total moron would believe what they say."

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


Or beat children or sexually molest them. Some men have been known to do that.


You do refer to women who are out to destroy men financially especially after a marriage ends.


At last we have a sensible answer.

Why is it that you never make any positive comments about women then, Novi? No mention of all the decent, hard working, kind, compassionate, generous, courageous and good women in the world - why is that? No interest in them, no?

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


Nor with me either. Interesting though how you had to apply the word 'stupid' to me. So basically, you refuse to give a direct answer to the question 'Are all women stupid, greedy, lazy, selfish and dishonest?' but you imply that they are not. Thank you for admitting that you were wrong :))


That's not what you have been saying on this forum for months now. You never said that any of them were remotely nice. And what about all the gold-diggers and the liars whom you like to talk about? Are you saying that they're nice?? You seem confused. Sort yourself out and come back when you know what you're talking about.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


Can't you see that you are the one who refers to them that way?? When you say 'women' are this, that and the other, you may simply be amusing yourself (what an odd sense of humour you have) but you are insulting the women and girls of your own family. Do your wife and daughter enjoy reading your posts?? Do they read them?? Well?


Exactly.

Now Novichok, you frequently complain that your questions are not answered on this forum so I pose this one to you, once again. Are all women stupid, lazy, greedy, selfish and dishonest? Answer the question.


I don't know why Novi and Poloniusz (I'll have to find a nickname for him, it's way too long!). I've got it, I'm going to call him Skiff. From Poloniusz, I get Loni, from Loni I think of Lonnie Donegan, the Skiffle King :) so Skiff.

youtube.com/watch?v=jWA997xM9MI

Anyway, I don't know why Novi and Skiff don't go and post all their rubbish on radical feminist forums. That's where the objects of their hatred reside. Oh wait now, I do know why. It's because they'd be banned after their first post and this is one of the few places where they can spew their vitriol freely. But as I'm not some dour old bull dyke with a crew cut and a chip on my shoulder, I don't see any reason why I should have to listen to it.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


That's true. You called me a b*tch - and that really demonstrates what a weakling you are. I challenged you and you could have responded intelligently but you failed to. The reason you failed to is because the answer would effectively put an end to your dreary tirades against women. The truth, as you well know, but which doesn't appeal to you, is that there are stupid, greedy, selfish, lazy and dishonest people of both sexes.

Your foolishness lies in your 'women are' statements. It should be 'some women are'. If you said that 'some women are...' that would make sense. To say that 'women are' is patently ridiculous. When you say so, then by default you include the women in your own family and it's equally ridiculous to suggest that they are the only 'good' women in the entire world - it's actually laughable and would quite frankly throw doubts on your sanity. So, I'll throw down the gauntlet again. You can either admit that women as a sex are not stupid, lazy, selfish, greedy and dishonest or you can acknowledge that your own mother, wife, daughter and grandchild are just as bad as the rest.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


Go on then, tell us about your thick as a plank mother, your gormless wife, your vacuous, gold-digging daughter and your dumb as a brick granddaugher :))

Oooh now, that's a bit rude. It stands to reason that they must be stupid, selfish, lazy and greedy just like other women. Or would you expect us to believe that they are the only exception among the billions of women in the world?? You need to either acknowledge that your own mother, wife, daughter and granddaughter are the same as the rest or lose what little credibility you have.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

Here's my view on Novichok/Poloniusz. Are you all sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin ........

Novi doesn't really hate women. He pretends to. It's an excuse to post when he's run out of stuff to say about Poles, Brits, and all the other people he supposedly hates. He's also juvenile enough to get a kick out of seeing 'outraged' reactions. I wouldn't bother my barney with him but on a point of principle one has a moral duty to occasionally challenge eejits.

Poloniusz is an entirely different kettle of fish. He does genuinely hate women. This probably has its roots in some issues with his mother. For whatever reason, he didn't feel loved by her or else she was just not very nice and he quite understandably didn't like her. So now every woman is his mother.

Thoughts anyone??

Now that's a really foolish statement. I think you'd do well to observe that old adage 'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.'

I think you'll find Paulina that their contribution will be sneered at and dismissed. That's usually the way of 21st century armchair warriors, whilst the men who served alongside those women had nothing but respect for them.

You've just contradicted yourself by posting a link stating that no one in Ireland was drafted into the British Army ie conscription was never introduced, just as I said.

There's absolutely nothing you can tell me about Irish history and unlike you I don't need to Google it. I spent years actually studying it from something called books and absorbing it and even meeting people who were directly involved in it.


You really are obtuse aren't you?


Whilst you continue to demonstrate extraordinary levels of ignorance.


What exactly is your point there?

You're a very peculiar character indeed. You obviously absolutely hate women. Very strange. However that's no excuse for not educating yourself properly.

Women were saving lives in their millions long before there was any equipment to do so. Consider the front at WWI, you, who have never been near a battlefield, and bow you head in shame at denigrating the courage and character of those women who volunteered to care for the wounded and dying. Here's a nice extract from one of the official war diaries of the time:

There were piles upon piles of exhausted men, covering every inch of available hospital space. Here the severely injured lay, in excruciating pain, hovering between life and death-some praying for the latter. Their bodies viciously mutilated, blasted apart by relentless artillery and machine gun fire, their uniforms in shreds, their limbs blown away or shattered to pieces, they gazed at nurses with soulless, desolate eyes. Amidst an ever extending carpet of blood and khaki, nursing sisters, V.A.D.s and orderlies attended to their vast array of patients. The place resembled a living hell. Henceforth there seemed to be no distinction between night duty and day duty. Everyone just worked to the point of exhaustion.


Actually most of those men weren't conservative. They were exactly the opposite. They were innovators and visionaries of their time. There were a number of women scientists and mathematicians which is remarkable considering that they were mostly denied access to even basic education., let alone higher studies. They don't get the same publicity as men but they were there. They were generally very respected by their male counterparts. Real men don't hate and fear women :)

Whilst simultaneously serving in the British army and continuing to volunteer to do so. Conscription was never introduced in Ireland. I'm wondering why Poland fighting for independence is glorious in your eyes, but Ireland shouldn't??

I notice you neglected to mention that Irish nationalist Francis Ledwidge served in the British army during World War I and in fact was killed in action.

Ireland has a far more complex history than you're capable of understanding and its unwise to lecture me about Ireland as I'm far more knowledgeable and educated about it than you are, or are likely to be.


Resistance by whom? By men actually. You really need to read a few decent history books.


Is that the best you can do?? Now have you ever heard of Edith Cavell?

And do bear in mind that WWI affected my own family directly. It's not just a couple of lines on a website or a quick Google search for me. My family are part of that history, both in the British army and in the republican movement. So I have both the academic knowledge of it and the personal knowledge passed down through my family. The war devastated families and broke hearts that were never whole again.
