UK, Ireland / The "Paracetamol Myth" - Polish people hesitate to visit UK doctors. [51]


Why...? o_O


Defenitely not. You want to get out of a Polish hospital as soon as your condition/health allows for that lol Apart, maybe (to some extent, at least) from elderly people who live alone - at the hospital they have company then.


Sanitarium isn't the same as hospital though and Bobko was asking about hospitals.

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]


Tell that to the Japanese, smart ass, haha :D


Run, Kania, run... :D

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]


Oh, no, no, that's not how it works :D Oh, Kania, how would you survive in Japan??? :D:

"60% of wives and 20% of husbands control finances at home in Japan.

-Sompo Japan Survey, 2013

The Japanese wives are actually "most powerful" at home compared to wives in other cultures. The majority of the Japanese women are solely responsible for making domestic financial decisions. When a man makes a big purchase, he would have to ask for permission from his wife in most households. The average Japanese husbands receive weekly or monthly "allowances." The wife may or may not work. It doesn't matter how much money she makes. It's probably because most Japanese men know deep in their hearts that the Japanese women tend to be more "financially savvy" and they will end up saving more money that way. If the husband is not happy with the amount of his allowances, he can negotiate with his wife. However, it is usually met with a comment from his wife such as "YOU need to make more money in order to do that."

Holy moly... :D

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]


LOL :D

Kania, seriously? Then you dislike and disagree with the reality... Sorry to say, but a lot of Polish men are like this... I don't like it either, but that's the reality.

The difference between you and me is that I don't think it's better if the man is in control of family finances. I prefer partnership - for me that's the most healthy option. Unless one of the spouses has a real problem and spends too much money uncontrollably, but, still, such stuff should be agreed upon.


Yes, that's how it works in Japan, btw, which is still a pretty traditional society. In Japan even the housewives who don't have a job outside the home run the family's finances anyway. Japan - the land of margines społeczny :)))

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]


Read my post above.


So you refuse to acknowledge reality... That's your problem.

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]


It's not about agreeing or disagreeing. It's about facts. Almost 60% of Polish families surely aren't "margines społeczny".


And, again, what you're writing goes against facts. Those "frail and emotions-driven females" are BETTER at managing money than Polish men:

mycompanypolska.pl/artykul/kobiety-maja-mniej-pieniedzy-ale-lepiej-nimi-zarzadzaja-i-nie-wpadaja-w-dlugi/11428


It doesn't have anything to do with that. A lot of Polish men are simply lazy as far as family life is concerned, they are accustomed to the fact that mommy/wifey does everything for them and that includes worrying about money and managing them.

So, it's not that "family life is deteriorating" in Poland lol In many Polish families family life has been always like that. And in my opinion it's because Polish men are often being raised like that - they are accustomed that a lot is being done at home by women and they take a back seat, because it's simply... convenient for them. They don't have to do or worry about anything or much at home.

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]


Wow... You must be living in a different Poland than me. Where I live it's perfectly normal and it was normal since I can remember, so I see no "deteriorating" here. Polish families are quite often pretty matriarchal in some ways - and that's not only my observation.


Then you don't know Polish society, imho, sorry...

Almost 60% of Polish women manage the family's finances, according to KRD report.

According to you almost 60% of Polish families are "margines społeczny"? o_O lol


Yeah, a very strange thing to say by a Polish man lol It's like Kania was born yesterday :)))

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]

@GefreiterKania, I disagree - it's common in Polish families for the wife to manage the family's finances (so they're the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Health, the Minister of Education, etc. etc.):

That's all in your head. Although I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't believe in it yourself and you're just trying to blab your responsibilty away.

And, btw, I'm not nice all the time. I'm nice to people who deserve it.


Calling someone "stupid" all the time (and just because you don't agree with them at that) isn't "harmless". It's f*cked up. If you really don't understand that - you're f*cked up.

I know I am not stupid, so it doesn't affect my self-esteem, but your behaviour tells me a lot about you.

I may sometimes call someone stupid/a moron if they call me stupid, but I rarely do that if someone doesn't do it to me first. Someone would have to write something really, really stupid or crazy.

But you're doing this all the time to me (and you started it). That tells me that you're doing this on purpose to put me down and you're enjoying it. And this is sick. It's your toxicity, your lack of empathy that affects me, because I hate such people. I hate toxic bullies like you.

Besides calling me "stupid" all the time, you also often follow me around on the forum and you're telling me to "shut up" when I discuss with other people. So, you're the control freak here.

And then, sometimes, out of the blue you feel like "flirting" with me or have a little "jokey time" with me and you expect me to behave like nothing happened and like you don't abuse me and pick on me all the time? Well, sorry, but no, thank you, a$$hole. You don't get to abuse me and then flirt or joke around with me whenever you feel like it.


LOL
What a pile of nonsense, you really flew off to the Moon right now :D

Even in the US there are some basic rules of social interaction, some basic principles concerning discussing with other people and some expectations on how a normal person should behave. And you, must often than not, break those unwritten rules.

And no, you won't go to jail for that, you won't even get permanently banned on this forum and I can't "forbid" you to behave the way you want.

I can't forbid you anything and I'm not trying to do that, I'm just saying that you're behaving like a toxic, nasty, angry a$$hole with issues almost all the time and that's not normal. I wanted to see if I could help you to you understand that your behaviour is wrong and that you shouldn't treat other people like that, but since you don't care - I rest my case.

Just remember - you will be served the same dish that you serve to others.

I agree:

RuSSia, on the other hand, tends to harm both itself and others. That's why it has to be stopped.


Sounds like RuSSia to me.


Maybe by RuSSian standards :))))))))

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


If there was no question of bribes and anything illegal then CBA and the prosecutor's office wouldn't be involved.


"An individual diplomat"?
According to the Polish prosecutor's office those are the Polish diplomatic posts where the visa "abnormalities" were happening: Hongkong, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, India, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the Philippines and Qatar.

And the guy who lost his job because of this scandal wasn't just any "diplomat", but the deputy Foreign Minister of Poland.

@ConstantineK, no, it's RuSSia that acts like a psycho and needs to get its ass kicked.

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


According to this article Polish CBA started working on this case only because of the pressure from the EU:

wiadomosci.wp.pl/dymisja-wawrzyka-nowe-szczegoly-afery-wizowej-6939123699595904a

A fragment from the article:

"The media added that the visa scandal is connected to an international investigation. It's about the activity of VFS Global, a company from India, which intermediates in getting visas.

- CBA was simply forced to act. It wasn't their initiative. Our partners from the EU have proven that it was on the level of Polish consular services that the abnormalities were happening, resulting in mass give away of visas, which were allowing foreigners from countries with terrorist threat to get into the Schengen Area. - an informer unofficially revealed to the "Gazeta Wyborcza"."

Were you also uncontrollably abusing others for "fun" when you were 15? I don't think it's just "immaturity", and, anyway, he's a grown man, so even if it was true that his mind stopped developing at 15 - that wouldn't be normal. He clearly has a nasty streak in him - he enjoys abusing people just for the fun of it. This is toxic behaviour.


You wouldn't be saying this if he was abusing your daughter at school. Some people are just that - bullies. I think Iron was like that when he was younger and he didn't grow out of this.


Exactly...

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]


Or he simply got smarter in this regard. I'm sure this invasion opened the eyes of some people.


"More"? I think we have more than enough of them all things considered. And what do you mean by "pro-RuSSian" exactly?

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


Why abusing people is "fun" for you?


No, that's not what I said and this is not what this forum is for. This forum is for talking about Poland and all things Polish and not for abusing people.


I'm actually trying to talk to him like to a normal human being, not to argue, but it looks like it's futile, because his mind is too f*cked up o_O

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


It doesn't mean it's right. You present yourself as this right-wing conservative - aren't you religious? Aren't you a Catholic?


There's nothing "toxic" about me telling you that I find your behaviour towards me to be nasty, that I don't like it and that I wish you stopped it. It's normal human interaction. You wrote that you thought that your behaviour was "cute", so I told you that there's nothing "cute" about it.


And yet you still haven't answered my question - why are you behaving like that?

It doesn't matter that it is an internet forum and that on PF you can pretty much do whatever you want. I can post whatever I want about whomever I want, but I don't follow you around on PF and I don't pick on you and abuse you out of the blue. So you have a choice too.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


No, I don't. I'm telling you that your behaviour is wrong and it's up to you what you're going to do about it.

It's you who keep telling other people to "shut up", telling them what they should or shouldn't do, so it looks like you're projecting your own behaviour on me.


No, I'm like Ukraine that has to defend itself from the delusional RuSSia all the time. You and RuSSia are both not right in the head, clearly.


Again, it's not me who has an unhealthy obsession with you - it's the other way around. You keep following me on the forum and picking on me and abusing me like some retarded school bully. Why are you doing this?

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


I'm not trying to control what you write. I'm just letting you know that your behaviour isn't "cute", it's nasty. So don't be surprised when you get "labelled" as toxic. But I can see that you clearly don't care how wrong your behaviour is. That's not normal either.


Ah, so you'd like to post your crap about me without any ramifications for yourself? Well, sorry, but it may not always work like that - I may sometimes respond in kind if I feel like it.


No, I'm not the one following you on PF, you are following me and commenting on me like some sick puppy, you weirdo. WTF is wrong with you? I'm being serious right now - don't you have a life?

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


I didn't write that to "feel better", I wanted to let you know that the way you behave towards other people is not OK.


There's nothing "biased and toxic" about "my take". It is you who keep attacking me, bullying me and commenting on me. This is not normal. This is toxic behaviour. It looks like you're almost obsessed with me or something.


Then f*ck off already and I'll have no reason to "pin labels" on you.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


You're a f*cked up, toxic person then (no surprise there though).

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]

@Ironside, no, bullying people isn't "cute". If you seriously think it is, then you're more f*cked up than I thought.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


That's not the point if something like that can put me down or not. The point is why do you have the need to behave like that at all? It's nasty.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]

@Ironside, I wonder what kind of sad life you have to have in order to have such a great need to try and put down some random people on the internet like that.

It does, but I guess you've become so prejudiced against me that you interpreted my comment in the wrong way. That meme had the same meaning as the one in my earlier post at the end of my comment here:

If you click on that meme I signed/titled it: "soembarrassing".

You could really loosen up.


There was nothing "snarky" about my comment. It was self-deprecating actually.

But you know what, I have enough of this. I'm not going to engage in any friendly or neutral exchanges with you anymore. From now on I'll just comment if I disagree with you or I won't like what you post - at least there will be no misunderstandings.

I decided to explain it in case you or someone else (the world doesn't revolve around you) didn't get it. It was a completely normal, neutral comment, the meme had nothing to do with you not understanding it or whatever, so there's no reason for you to be rude and assholish about it.
