@Ironside, why would I do that?

That is an excellent question. Why do you ask me?

Still waiting for an answer to my hypothetical situation:

According to your logic, put them all against the wall and shoot. After all, people die anyway; what is the difference?

History / 81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising [72]

OK,

The political aspects of the uprising do not affect the importance of remembering those who lost their lives. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on the matter, but honoring the memories of those who perished is still essential. English is not Torq's first language, so his choice of words may be unclear. While there isn't anything to celebrate, it is a good opportunity for remembrance and reflection.

Only sick idiots would "celebrate" 250,000 useless and self-inflicted deaths.

What about the 9/11 monument? Built by a sick idiot, I guess.

Honoring the memories of those who were murdered and those who fought bravely in battle is essential. Recognizing their sacrifices ensures that we never forget their stories and the lessons learned from their lives.

I would be for abortion, but with a caveat that it would be possible ten years after pregnancy.

In certain circumstances, some people do not consider rape - rape. What kind of argument is that? Do you think you can make an argument, Cherry?

influenced by the people I mentioned

It doesn't matter what position the pope takes; it is not part of the official dogma of the RCC, as far as I know.

Around 10-20% of pregnancies then end in miscarriage before week 20. If

Since all people die anyway, why is murder against the law? According to your logic, such a law is just nonsense.

Spare us your sick fantasies

She is one with a sick imagination, imagining rape. Paulina] what about women and girls who were abducted by the rapists and raped for days, and they did get pregnant?
My goodness, seek help, Paulina.

that you don't much like women

Few things come to mind in no particular order.
First, Torq can come across as dramatic, but that doesn't mean he's entirely wrong.
Second, is that some women handle? In place of arguments, a game about likes and dislikes - you do not like women? Why, because he doesn't like to murder kids?
There are plenty of women who don't particularly like men, but that often isn't judged as harshly when it comes from women.
Another thing, those women who advocate for abortion are not very nice or wise people. Why should anyone have to like them?

Are you Catholic Iron?

It is a tricky question, by which I mean it would demand a complex answer. Furthermore more I don't see what it has to do with the issue we are talking about.
It is not that we are debating teaching and dogmas of different religious denominations.

he exposes himself as a liar!

What's the point of exposing him every day? Does it erase all the previous expostions? You could at least number it. Hello, today we are going to expose Jim's lies for the 134th time this month, which would be only 1068 times this year.

It is a Polish name. lol to idiots who forget their roots, claiming it is a German name, which is quite funny.

But with age came more understanding

I would say you are the opposite of everyone else, with age; you become less wise.

It looks like men just don't get raped often enough.

and nasty. Why are you so sexist? On top of it, it is a pointless argument as men do not get pregnant.
There is another argument to be made - that women get pregnant against men's consent or will. What then? Should the abortion be the right answer, too?

Provided you don't murder it.

Women are predisposed to kill weaker than they are, old, children, and the sick.
They can be nurturing, but that is not guaranteed; it is often a nice story we, as a society, wish were true. Perhaps it's a narrative shared by those who have been fortunate enough to have such a mother or grandmother. In general, women are not as kind as traditional conventions suggest.

the well-being of a woman or a girl

In the long term, well-being can be ensured by having a baby rather than killing it.

do not see early-stage abortion as murder.

Perhaps that's the reason you think that way. Unfortunately for you, it is murder.

One life is worth more than another in your opinion?

It is very easy to understand. I don't know why people have a problem with it. One is an innocent child; the other is a malicious character with evil deeds on his account.

Off-Topic / AfD Party is growing ever more powerful throughout country [187]

The AfD is not only pro-Russian but also anti-Ukrainian.

It is good for Poland, or better still, It could be good for Poland.
-----
Never mind NATO that supporting Poland/Eastern Europe would become next to impossible without Germany as a logistical hub.

Wouldn't Germany, in tacit understanding with Poland in this scenario would support Poland on their own accord?
Also, Poland does not need to depend on NATO; if the US is willing to help with its air forces, that would be good enough.

Now add the border with Kaliningrad Oblast and Belarus.

That is their weak spot. If they would try something, then to overthrow the regime in Minsk and take Królewiec in three days becomes imperative

Blame your mass media for that.
Also, it doesn't matter; I don't have to like you to do business with you.

Not as someone to build a close, trusting relationship with.

You side needs to be ready to make a deal, not trying to tell Poland what to do and how.

the whole nine yard!

It is certainly within the realm of possibility. If certain conditions are met, Poland and Germany could establish a profound understanding. In this scenario, Germany would reap the benefits while Poland assumes the role of defending Europe from Russia. Since our economies are aligned, a strong German economy could lead to a thriving Polish economy as well.

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [156]

I'm guessing it's much stronger.

Polish tea ( I'm not talking about some herbal substitutes) seems watery in comparison with British tea, but then British tea needs to be drunk with milk.

AfD thinks a good understanding with Russia would be alot more beneficial for german security and economy

Nothing new; that is an old German strategy. The question is: what does a good understanding mean?

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [497]

@Torq
Some Muslims are fine, some are less fine; it depends on the country they're from or their culture and race.
Many are very nice people.
However, letting a large number of Muslims in any given non-Muslim country is asking for trouble, and I would caution against that.
