News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


True. Though the repellant individual in the clip below opened his mouth about sex, something he evidently knows next to nothing about. For those who don't read Polish, this is a very well known clergyman, not one with a great reputation, saying on TV that rapes rarely cause pregnancy because the woman is "stressed". He's somehow attempting to justify making it a crime for a rape victim to terminate a pregnancy.

Meanwhile, the women's general strike yesterday went very well, thousands turned out in Warsaw and other cities, a sea of black as far as you could see. The response was actually heartwarming.

Well, Po, he's certainly been subjected to a wrongful jail term as a prisoner of conscience, during a period when Jaroslaw Kaczynski was living a privileged life among the Nomenklatura...

Some of them would like to do that. It just means more money for German and Czech pharmacies.

One very positive thing is that today's general strike by women and the demonstrations all round Poland were a resounding success.


No such thing

Yes


There you go again...

And this former jailed dissident stilll garners more respect than JK ever will.

On the basis of his weak record, it is stretching things to say he is a person of good will, and stretching it even more to say he is anything other than a marionette for the ghastly Jaroslaw Kaczynski and his friend Macierewicz who are far from being people of good will.

It just means that, in a country that borders 6 others, women who are able to will just source the tablets elsewhere. Apart from those who are unable; they will instead suffer.

Indeed, Kaczynski boasted about that in front of a large audience.

Very relevant indeed to the thread

That's actually rather weird.

No you don't, and again, worth asking yourself in what way your posts comment to the thread or the hapless gentleman's experience with Polish gangsters and strippers.

Love / Are there any swingers club in Poland? [52]

The type of hapless men who are gullible enough to allow themselves to be hooked into Polish B-drinker joints by parasol-twirling streetwalkers (the oldest trick in the book) probably haven't got the initiative for that.

Very well apparently, there's some good footage on the Channel 4 website.

If you're lucky ;-)

Love / Are there any swingers club in Poland? [52]

Not exactly the same target clientele, but yes, they are much better (and safer) places than Poland's B-drinker bars.

Love / Are there any swingers club in Poland? [52]

Anyone who goes into that sort of bar is a fool. There are several in Warsaw, basically 'B-drinker' (google it) joints. Especially the ones on ul.Chmielna (the Nowy Świat end). You can often spot the girls (sometimes twirling parasols) either there or at the start of ul. Foksal trying to hook passing men into the bars.

A curse of capital cities and dangerous places for foolish people.

I agree with the lapine poster; it is unlikely to help. Did you sign a contract for the work? Unfortunately in Poland, if there's no written contract, it simply didn't happen. Did you commission the work through one of those online portals? If so, that might be the way to go.

This is true. Women have been using Pennyroyal and Ergot for centuries to flush out foetuses and both are still used in countries with primitive laws on terminating pregnancies. Both can be very dangerous yet still women are prepared to risk that.

It would be a tragedy if that returned to Poland.

Unfortunately falsehoods are the stock in trade of that particular political tendency, something we see time and time again.

Yes, on medical matters a doctor is certainly a more appropriate authority than anyone else.


Indeed. Supremely selfish.


Remember religious people are usually convinced they're right no matter what. Until it happens to them of course...

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


Why would anyone remove those from gun crime stats (btw, suicide isn't a crime n most countries therefore wouldn't show up on crime stats)?

For that matter how would other countries' gun crime stats look if you removed


?

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


In Poland, that does not include the right to bear firearms and sale is highly controlled. Gun crime statistics show that this standard approach is effective. We would not want the US level of gun crime here.

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


You can, provided your purchase is in accordance with the law, including gun storage. You cannot walk around town with a loaded gun in your pocket. That is illegal under Polish law.


Why should anyone be able to?

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


Exactly.


And if you go to a shooting range you can fire a gun. You can't however go out and about in the streets with one and there is no significant public desire for the law in Poland to change on that point.

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


Remember guns don't kill people. People do. Cars don't kill people either; the drivers do. Which is why society has very strict controls about who can drive cars, where they can drive them, how they can drive them and how fast.

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


What 'right'? When the thing you want to buy is an item that can be used to kill people and is intended to be able to do that the law of the land restricts its sale.

That's part of the charm. A sparser population and less industrialisation. More traditional, a slower life and far less business.

UK, Ireland / Time for Polish Leaving England [15]


Unelected. She was actually supposed as Home Secretary to reduce the migration numbers: in fact she specifically promised to do so. The numbers increased during that time.


37% of the electorate in favour, many of that 37% now saying they regret it. In London and the big cities, people are generally fine.

A bit like saying that just because PiS scraped in to office in Poland, all those in the majority who don't support them have suddenly changed attitudes.

And no change in the status of people already there.

Not particularly true, most have no problem with it.

Sounds like a troll.
