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

Well, you see, the thing is at the early stage of pregnancy it's not a child. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to have as few abortions as possible

As part of the left ( you should really try to be more precise) I never ever heard about lowering the age of consent. Would you be talking about USA by any chance?

But please be careful, your post has absolutely nothing to do with birth rate in Poland so you are a bit off topic here

Genealogy / Silesian, old Polish heritage? [49]

Many Silesians spoke German fluently if not as mother tongue. My own grandfather could only read in German for a long time. However he refused to teach his kids after the war. A big part of Silesia is people from Wołyń (my other grandparents) etc.

People seem to forget the part of Chech is Silesian culture.

Not even that. Similar is all. The spelling, pronunciation and meaning are all different. I don't know any term that would apply... Maybe someone else does as we have really knowledgeable people here

I see any relationship as ideally complementary. If it's competitive there is not much sense in it.


Hmm, I would say there are certain traits that go across the board and that are usually more pronounced in one of the sexes. I'm not sure however how much is nature and how much is nurture

And excluding unmarried but with kids. That is a change

You are not expanding it- you are changing it.

First I would have to see any proof of being sexist. As it stands all there is is a guy who throws insults here and there whenever he disagrees with someone

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


She is not. Words have a meaning for a reason. If you start calling stairs blue it has as much sense as you calling a married women spinster. Btw- is a single women with kids spinster or not?

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


I think that is the main point- you judge it as right vs wrong while I marelely observe certain phenomenon and try to see the reason behind it.

More than that, I would urge everybody not to make that decision lightly as it is a huge responsibility.

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


Just because someone understands the challenges doesn't mean they are in the same boat.


And that wouldn't be surprising. A women can have dreams beside raising a family. Maybe if man were more willing to put their ambition aside to raise the kids women wouldn't have to make such choices?

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


If anything one should return it to their parents. And you have better chances of doing that while not having kids.


And did it ever cross your mind that that in fact may be why they made such decision?
Many people told me why the did it so they must be laying.


You just say they are lying or ignore it.
I am sure it will help increase the birth rate :)


Just to distinguish. Even if suddenly all man where able to support family comfortably on their own a lot of women would still want to work.


"Women have to work?"


Yes, BS- man are as capable at caring for a child. Saw it many times.
And yes bias- to create a child both are neede and as such man play equal role in the birth rate

Cut down on your quotes please

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


No, but as the gender is decided by the semen and not the egg it's the testicles that would have to make the pact.


Why would one feel guilty for not having kids? The only guilt should be if you DO have kids while not suitable for the role


Tell yourself that if it helps. Ignoring what women say about the matter will sure make them want to have kids...


And quite often want to

But again it is funny how everything is how women don't want kids and not a word about the man.

Here is one more reason::
If sh*t hits the fan it's usually the women that ends up qith all the care for the kids.

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


More testicles. But yes, such phenomenons are amazing.

As to birth rate. Let's start qith the fact that not even one of you tried to put a man in it. It takes two to tango.

But as to women:

1- the miracles of quite reliable contraception

2- the possibilities open to women

3- the stability- in Poland if something goes wrong you are f***Ed In UK (where the birth rate among Polish women is higher) you do have a safety net e.g. a women was 4 months pregnant with a second kid, lost her job; a month earlier her partner lost his job. UK gov helped.

4- tools that help raise the kids- nurseries, affordable activities e.t.c.

5- pregnancy and after birth care- while medically top notch the treatment is a different matter and scares women like hell

6- very unequal division of work in running a family

7- higher expectations when raising a kid and less of a support network

8- Less women care what people think and ignore the 'she's single/ childless because she's ugly/nasty etc ' and live their life as they really want to

9- people are more picky in choosing a partner which can make it hard to still have kids

UK, Ireland / Is it good for Poland as Sinn Fein will win today in Northen Ireland [282]


But it is still an agreement and serious partners don't turn around after few minutes and say 'I don't like an I will do as suits me'.


That is something British government should have thought about. EU is not a side to that agreement.


Then why the party that doesn't think it's necessary got the most seats?

Not to mention that their will is not some magic word that makes it ok not to be a serious partner in agreement.

The whole Brexit negotiations on Brexit were a big joke and this is just another act.

Boris signed it himself but because the NI elections he now wants to change it. Does anyone believe that something that couldn't be sorted by months of negotiations can be solved by Boris Johnson's government alone? Pure joke

To you. To me early stages of pregnancy that may or may not be successful are not equal to live human being.

Would I like to see a world where there is no need for that? Sure. But as it stands it's here no matter what.
