Love / Do Polish guys like girls who are shy, modest and sensitive [41]

In this way, sitting astride on the barricade, we can say anything: that black is white and white is black - when needed. :):):)

No, I'm simply acknowledging the fact that the reality is more complicated than how you picture it.

although I am not sure what your real point of view is on the subject and about what you agree with me or disagree.

I could go into more detail and explain what I meant, but I have no time right now and since you're not interested anyway...

Love / Do Polish guys like girls who are shy, modest and sensitive [41]

you contradict yourself

Nope. I wrote that our times have their own challenges that not everyone from the older generations may understand. And some of them (not all) even think that our reality is too much for them, apparently.

So, were the oldies fekked up or they had easy comfortable lives with stable jobs, low rents etc ????? :)::)

You could say - both, I guess :)))

You can be a youngster from a greenhouse kid generation. You didn`t experience the harsh reality

Pawian, you have no idea what I experienced - I can tell you this much.

Youngsters had online education and computer or smartphone games.

And you think that worrying and stressing out over the possibility of the parents or grandparents of those youngsters dying from the pandemic didn't affect them in any way? When I was a kid during the 90s my biggest worry and constant stress was that my parents will get fired from their jobs and that my father will turn into a complete drunk then, like the "strong" neighbour above our flat, whose wife had to borrow money from my mother. I wasn't worrying that they'll catch a virus and die after a random visit to a shop.

And I'm not even sure about that "greenhouse environment"... Our times have their own challenges too. For example, having and keeping a job in communist times was usually a given. My parents worked in the same place all their lives. They have no idea what it's like to look for a job, because they never had to. I happen to see comments by people from older generations on social media complaining that PRL times were easier, etc. So how are those people "stronger"?

Today youngsters are raised in greenhouse environment instead of harsh communist winter like us, oldies.

It's better nowadays and that's what you always should wish for next generations, imho.

We, oldies, survived the martial law. It didn`t kills us but made us stronger.

I'm not sure about that "stronger", to be honest. In my opinion those generations that grew up under communism got f*cked up by those times. I defenitely wouldn't want younger Poles to be like my parents' generation. Times change, people change. My impression is that people raised in better times/circumstances are often kinder and have more empathy for others. So, everything has its pluses and minuses, as always, I guess.

And what did those youngsters live through??

Being brought up by parents f*cked up by communist times? lol

Btw, unlike the shortage of toilet paper or no "Teleranek" on Sunday morning, a pandemic can actually kill people ;/

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

Btw, according to that poll from 2020 I linked to the most liberal attitude towards abortion in Polish society was displayed by women below 35 years of age, especially those between 18-24. It was similar with young men (although to a lesser extent than in case of women). What a "shocker" :)

In this context it's not surprising that young people in Poland turned against PiS, I guess.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

I think you said in the past that you are more or less happy with the law we had before the change?

Yes, going back to the previous law would be enough for me already. I don't know about kids with Down syndrome though, because I think the previous law allowed for abortion in such cases and it looks like Poles were divided on this issue too (I'm not sure now) - this is a poll from 2020:

@Novichok, here's some info about what Polish women want based on IBRiS poll:

rp.pl/spoleczenstwo/art38100641-sondaz-ponad-80-proc-polakow-za-liberalizacja-przepisow-dotyczacych-aborcji

Unfortunately I can't quote it, because after I entered the article for the second time it turned out to be payed.

If I'm not mistake she share her view as well.

What view? I defenitely don't want the current law to stay in place.

Today. Nowadays. The majority. Or women's organizations.

Then why did you ask: "Hey, any women here?" That implied that you want to know the opinion of women writing on PF.

Life / Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet? [147]

Internet is where we sh*it

No, that's the way psychos like you treat the internet. And the problem with you and others like you is that to relieve yourself you "sh1t" on other people here. That's not normal and it's hardly surprising that people will object to be "sh1tted on" by f*cked up psychos, no matter if it happens in real life or on the internet.

Law / Weapon Law in Poland: what kinds of knives are legal? [35]

Guns are illegal in NYC. So everybody has one, except for good, law abiding citizens.

That's in the US, in Poland there's no such big problem with that.

Carrying a knife around, though I wouldn't do it myself, doesn't seem like such a crazy thing to do.

Why? What do you need a knife for in your pocket in broad daylight in a public place in a city?

Law / Weapon Law in Poland: what kinds of knives are legal? [35]

@Bobko, I'm guessing it's because a kitchen is a natural environment for a knife, while your pocket in a public place - isn't. So, if someone is going out to a public place with a knife in their pocket one may assume that there's something wrong with that person, that this person my have an ill intent:

Maybe we should, but somehow I can't :)

Travel / Kielce and the area - amazing Polish Pocket Knives live there [105]

If you sum up the results of the opposition parties the defeat of PiS in Kielce was big though:

KO 33,50%
PiS 32,56%
Trzecia Droga 12,90%
Nowa Lewica 9,29%

...and the cherry on top, as Lenka would put it :) - Konfederacja got only 6,00%, so lower than the national result :)))

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

From another thread:

He must first entrust the mission of forming a government to the party that won the elections.

From what I've read, he doesn't have to do that. In the first stage the Polish president can designate for the Prime Minister anyone he feels like, even some random Janusz from Psia Wólka, apparently. But that Janusz would have to be able to form a government and that government would have to be approved by the absolute majority in the Parliament.

PiS, as expected, won in my region, but bringing Jarosław Kaczyński here didn't help - PiS lost two mandates in comparison to the last elections. Roman Giertych got into the Parliament as second among KO candidates, beaten only by KO number 1, despite the fact that he lives in Italy and wasn't doing any campaigning in Kielce.

I'm happy to inform that PiS lost in Kielce (slightly, but still) and KO won :):

I feel content. And positively surprises.

I'm positively surprised too. Clearly people took these elections very seriously and mobilised. Even young people! 👏

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

an outer source telling you you have an alternative to participating in the referendum

And what's wrong with that? :))) People should know that they have an alternative.

and you probably don't watch TVP) but Tusk in one in his pre-election rallies said (or rather exclaimed) "I call off this referendum"

I don't watch TVP (and as I wrote I didn't follow this campaign too closely and didn't watch news on TV in general) and, I'm afraid, I wasn't on that rally :)))

but I doubt all of those who boycotted the referendum came up with the idea on their own

Why do you doubt that?
Also, do you think that PiS voters came up with the idea of taking part in the referendum on their own or were they influenced by "outer sources" by any chance? :))))))

News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

if you don't recognize it as an outer influence then you should think about it some more

An outer influence telling me to make up my own mind?? :)))
Btw, I don't recognize it as an outer influence, because I found that article after I already made a decision. I found it only because I was googling for info to find out whether it's allowed to refuse to take part in the referendum and how it's done correctly.
