And then there are pro-perversionists who believe an organ designed to excrete fecal matter should be used for......

You really do seem to have have no redeeming features whatsoever, except for being old and therefore unable to spout your filth for much longer. Comments like that come across as being from a particularly vile individual.

The only good thing is that any sane person reading your posts would be so repelled by them that they would immediately believe the opposite.

Looks like the women of Poland are having a go at that Szydlo person on social media. A hashtag is currently trending that translates as #HeavyPeriod

The Polki won't just sit back and let them get away with this one. Wrongfooted again...

Google Pawel Zawadzki Grajewo and bingo. It brings up several propel with that name and in that place on Facebook. Zawadzki is a common name, Pawel even commoner, however Grajewo is a small place and it is worth your while (if you haven't done so) to see if any of those are the person you want.

Quite. Even The Queen, probably the most well-known person in the world uses the train (and a normal one unless it's a special occasion) when she travels between her various homes and when that family uses helicopters, private planes etc for personal use they do have to pay for that.

Provided they keep the costs to a minimum and don't use a private plane when there's a perfectly good scheduled flight.

Or better still, pay for their weekend holidays themselves.

human lif

And this is the issue. The anti-abortionists due to religious influence even believe that a cluster of cells with no brain or central nervous system is 'human life'.

Looks like people are voting with their feet on this one. To paraphrase Smurf, this time they've really dropped a bollock.

They did exactly that in Ireland, and the Church together with certain politicians wanted to do that in Poland after 1989.

I wonder what the attitude of the politicians who want to ban abortions would be about a woman or girl who was pregnant by her father, brother, son or grandfather...

C! Aka as the 11th Commandment: Nie zawracaj głowy bliźniemu swemu!

So basically you were caught out in your lies and other intellectual dishonesty. Attempting to defend a policy that you don't even support yourself.

Drive carefully tomorrow, you wouldn't want to be arrested and charged for anything under the PIS system which you don't support and end up being tried under a system where

Judicial impartiality, objectivity, fairness, legality, etc. all sound very nice, but

are, as Jarosław Kaczynski wanted, officially not part of the legal process.

In no sense is the so-called PiS "pro-Polish". In fact everything they have tried to do is anti-Polish.

You really should try to give up on your habit of defending the indefensible, as pointed out on this very page.

Now which is it, A or B.

This should be quite amusing.
And how this relates to the current regimes attempts to damage women's rights over their own bodies.

A rhetoricaa question but rooted in sophsitry

A straightforward question that you are afraid to answer.

Basically

Judicial impartiality, objectivity, fairness, legality,

underpin the way justice works in civilised and developed countries. The appalling PIS regime want to undermine that.

And you still haven't answered the question, since you are very very well aware (and certainly comeback experience here) that you were trying to defend the indefensible.

So which is it, A or B?

This is why abortion was decriminalized back then

And the majority of society have no issues at all with the present law, namely that a woman can decide to retain or terminate a pregnancy.

Basically, if anti-abortionists don't want an abortion, nobody is forcing them to have one.

Looking at it, and thinking about it, Przemków could be a good bet. Not just because the fourth letter could very be an e, but because Pruszków was beginning to be a bit of a boom town in those years and very much somewhere that people went to rather than from.

Is there a Jewish connection at all? Both places has sizable Jewish communities then, one more than the other.

And even then how would anyone know whether the judge didn't offer the overseer a proposal he could not turn down.

That, Po, means precisely nothing. Basically blustering since youre trying to defend a PIS action that you do not yourself support..

Judicial impartiality, objectivity, fairness, legality, etc. all sound very nice, but...who pays the piper calls the tune!

No, Po. They are not " all very nice". They are essential in a developed and civilised society, as well you know.

A question for you. Just answer A or B. If you or your Mrs were accused of a crime and on trial, would you prefer that trial to be conducted:

A:. With

Judicial impartiality, objectivity, fairness, legality, etc

Or

B: Without

Judicial impartiality, objectivity, fairness, legality, etc

The 'Pvseakov' thing just looks like something copied incorrectly from handwriting. Looking at the scan, it might not be Pruszków, however the first three letters are certainly Prz which does narrow it down a bit.

Looking at it more closely, that official should have taken a course in penmanship!

Maybe Pruszków or something similar. Pruszków certainly existed and was growing in 1904.

A scan of the actual document would help since there are many possibilities.

Which for the very poor in Poland could be an impossibility.

Which will just lead to women doing it themselves, with all the dangers that follow. Evidently that's what the extreme Catholics prefer, a desperate woman dying of sepsis after trying to abort, rather than a cluster of cells being removed at a hospital.

Really Greggs? You know from all that way away that:

Another "massive demonstrations" 99.99% of Poles haven't even heard about.

Fascinating you think that only 0.01% of Poles (3853) have heard of tomorrow's rally in the capital. Hardly worth the TV companies doing a news service if only that many watch the box. And the televised studio discussion about it today can't have been very popular, can it...

Poland under a PiS government = PRL but with Rome instead of Moscow

As Associated Press say:

it is horrible because it's going in the direction of fascism," Kijowski said. "But it's probably more funny because he wants to be a dictator but doesn't have the power for that."

Since time immemorial the judicial scales have always favoured the rich and mighty as well as those currently in power.

So precisely how does reverting from the system used in the U.K., the U.S. etc. to a less fair system used in Communist times help to counteract that?

All those traffic wardens! Plus of course most of the PIS 'leadership' and their families.

Too bad PO/PSL never heard to good ol' American saying: If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

Naughty naughty, Po. Surely you don't really prefer the old PRL-style version with a lack of judicial independence and the scales of justice massively weighted in favour of the prosecution? Or perhaps you just don't care about the low acquittal rate...

So far, pretty well everything that Kaczynski's clowns have done is a retrograde step, designed to increase authoritarianism.

He's saying he wouldn't have been talking to you in the first place if he didn't want to fall in love.

He likes you ;-)

There's a problem with the zachocha się as others have said. If it's meant to be zachokasz się and he just missed the end off (or autocorrect) then the meaning is slightly different but still OK.

That sounds a bit more like "I wouldn't have got in touch in order for you to not fall in love with me.

Absolutely illogical, and shows the entire problem of having these people being political appointees rather than professionals

Basically yet another mess by Jaro and his gang of wing nuts. The horror is that this same ineptitude happens again and again; basically a repeat of their disastrous (but fortunately short) term of office.

If a president (albeit a puppet one) is put at risk in this way, imagine the disdain they have for the rest of us.

Remember that fascist politics depends on there being real or imagined enemies and this has been a theme of JK's political career. Hence him trying to make Lech Wałęsa public enemy number one.

It's a bit like the boy who cried wolf though - he's done it so often and there's so much of a sh1tstorm each time that nobody quite believes it anymore.

Did anyone see what Frasyniuk wrote in Newsweek about it all the other day?
