News / Rape and sexual abuse in Poland [198]

She would go, talk to the police and? It wouldn't go anywhere.

Exactly.

Not because of indifference or inaction on the part of the police.

It is because she would be advised of the following and then quickly make her excuses and leave:

Giving false testimony

Republic of Poland
The Penal Code

SPECIAL PART

Chapter XXX. Offences against the Administration of Justice

Article 233. § 1. Whoever, in giving testimony which is to serve as evidence in court proceedings or other proceedings conducted on the basis of a law, gives false testimony or conceals the truth shall be subject to the penalty of deprivation of liberty for up to 3 years.


This is why jaded women always prefer to use social media rather than the court system to attack men with false rape accusations.

Accountability is kryptonite to all women.

UK, Ireland / Better being female in UK or Poland? [33]

Did you think that U.K. nationals can only be citizens of one country?

It's been observed by many on here over the years that your ties to Poland are as permanent as a gypsy's.

You seem to have a fixation with Britain and its people.

Not at all. But you can set your watch to your defensive parochialism of both! Each and every time! It's simply hilarious!

UK, Ireland / Better being female in UK or Poland? [33]

You stay too long out of Poland to be able to witness all those things you write about in the forum. That is why you depend too much on what you experienced decades ago.

Well, he is British and times have changed. He is a Brexit nomad and legally required to be constantly on the move.

Stay Limits within the Schengen Area: Counting the 90 Days

With the UK's exit from the EU, UK nationals' freedom of movement within the EU came to an end as well. As such, UK citizens are now subject to the Schengen Area's visa-waiver stay limitation of 90 days within any 180 days throughout the entire zone. The count begins as soon as a traveller enters the Schengen Area until the day they depart. For example:

- If a traveller entered Germany (in the Schengen Area) from the UK (not in the Schengen Area) and spent 10 days in Germany, then took a train to Poland (in the Schengen Area) for a stay of 7 days, and then flew back to the UK, they would have stayed 17 total days in the Schengen Area.

- Even if the traveller briefly departed the Schengen Area, their stay calculation would still be based on the time spent in the zone. For example, if the traveller were to enter Germany from the UK and spend 10 days in Germany, departed back to the UK for 5 days, flew to Poland for a 7-day stay, and then returned to the UK again, they would still have stayed 17 total days in the Schengen Area.

Life / Poland Is A Gem In Europe [71]

interesting differences between here and the USA. Poland feels much safer overall...In the US, I witnessed issues like political tension and social problems.

It's no surprise really. Such glaring contrasts will always exist between a homogenous country like Poland (for now) and an irreparable diverse country like the USA. You can find similar stark differences if you compared Poland with diverse societies by design like Sweden, Germany, Britain, Ireland or France.

But don't worry, EU Viceroy Tusk is working hard to demographically transform Poland by giving shelter and welfare to illegal economic migrants from all around the world.

Tsarist r*SSia (which invented the Gulag system)

As usual, you're wrong. Whether it is due to you being ignorant of history or you actually being ashamed for once regarding the horrors associated with your ideological preferences is for you to find the courage and admit to the forum.

The fact is the GULAG was entirely Soviet from start to finish. GULAGs are synonymous with communism and the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics.

Food / Poles prefer pizza & kebab? [73]

But what are we actually eating when we reach for this dish? Inspections of food quality services revealed irregularities. More than half found that the kebab lacked the declared type of meat.

It could be worse.

In Britain they've used the bodies of murder victims. Literally.

A true 21st century horror story:

Case of Charlene Downes, feared killed and ground into kebab meat at 14, reopened as investigators probe fresh clues

Two men were charged and put on trial in 2007 for her murder, but the jury failed to reach a verdict. During the trial, the court heard the police's suspicion that Charlene's body had been ground into kebabs and her bones crushed into tile grouting.

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]

I'm Wanda, who married a German - laughs an old lady we meet on the beach, who asks to take a photo of her with her husband against the background of the winter Baltic Sea.

Wanda and her German husband wouldn't have found a warm reception among Poles had they gone further east along the Baltic (unless of course they met Tusktards).

'Don't mention the war': Germans apologise for their folk singers in Gdańsk

On August 6 (2023), the folk group, which was part of an official delegation from the German region, sang the folk song Ein Heller und ein Batzen (A penny and a Dime) at the popular St Dominic's fair in the Polish city of Gdańsk.

The performance caused something of a stir in Gdańsk and a storm on Polish social media.

The tune was once a popular marching refrain used by Wehrmacht troops during the war. In Poland, it is remembered as a symbol of German Nazi occupation.

Authorities in the German region then issued a statement in which they said they deeply regretted the incident and explained there was no intention to offend anyone. That was accepted by the fair's organisers and the City of Gdańsk, where the local government is a bastion of Poland's Liberal PO party led by Donald Tusk, which the country's ruling Conservatives (PiS) regard as being pro-German.

During the presidential campaign in 2005 it was revealed that Tusk's grandfather had been a soldier conscripted into the Wehrmacht during the Second World War. The revelations outraged Tusk and his party at the time, who argued that they had been published to discredit him.

While in office (2007-2015), Tusk became a close ally of then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel and was regularly criticised by the PiS for being too accommodating to German interests and policies.

Life / Poles are (family friendly / religious / traditional / conservative): True or False? Why? [8]

Poles and Polesses have also noticed a more liberal approach from our neighbors.

The UN has also noticed the societal differences towards children.

UN Child Rights Committee issues findings on Czech Republic, Eswatini, Poland and Switzerland

Czech Republic

The Committee was seriously concerned about a growing number of children exploited in prostitution and pornography. The Committee urged the State party to effectively investigate child sexual exploitation, particularly abuse online and in the tourism sector.

Poland

The CRC was concerned about the persisting practice of corporal punishment and domestic violence against children. It recommended that the State party strengthen measures to eradicate corporal punishment, particularly at home, and make childcare and educational facilities legally obliged to safeguard children against violence.

News / 33rd Jewish Culture Festival in Cracow [6]

has the largest population of Jews in Poland as well as the most active Jewish life.

Is that the lingering German-speaking (aka Yiddish) Italian converts variety?

Ashkenazi Jewish women descended mostly from Italian converts, new study asserts

Another twist in the findings: Jewish women may have been assimilated in Europe as far back as 2,000 years ago-earlier than most other studies have projected. The researchers believe the DNA could trace back to the early Roman Empire, when as much as 10 percent of the population practiced Judaism, many of them converts.

Overall, at least 80 percent of Ashkenazi maternal ancestry comes from women indigenous to Europe while 8 percent originated in the Near East, with the rest uncertain.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [73]

That can be stopped by giving the child up for adoption

Yes, that's definitely an option for women. Has been for centuries.

or simply f.. off

Many women already do that too and have done so since the dawn of humanity.

the stigma of leaving her kids if she gives them up

There is no stigma for women in giving up their children. Only regret that they gave up a future meal ticket once the father/husband dies or is no longer legally required to provide financial support.

I have nothing against finding the actual bum.

Great and the responsibility will be for the woman to identify him because women always know who the actual father is.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [73]

But don't compare paying child support to being pregnant and giving birth!

Indeed, 40 weeks of a full-term pregnancy and 12 to 24 hours of labor is a vacation when compared to the actual burden of child support lasting years and even into decades.

Don't compare maternity with paternity either. After all, maternity is a matter of fact whereas paternity is a matter of opinion!

But let's make it more equal and let as many abortions are there are dads not paying child support, deal?

Let's sweeten the deal and require a paternity test before any man is ordered to pay child support.

I would say 98% of cases when women considers abortion the man either is not in the picture, is completely pro or indifferent.

What are the chances that your dad isn't your father?

"Interweaving strands of evolutionary research suggests that paternity confidence forms part of the glue bonding men to their children and to the women who bore them. Undermine that confidence and men invest less readily in the subsistence and safety of their families, and become more likely to abscond."

become that way later in order to fit...that fake consensus to stay employed...

They fake it for the paycheck.

That's why publicly they are all for open borders and for defunding the police but will be the first ones to find a majority white neighborhood, install fences and security systems, and instinctively call the police for help the moment a non-white knocks on their door.

The conditioning for compliance starts early too. I've heard since forever that students will always complete their assignments to quack back the leftist dogma of their teachers. Not because they believe it but because they know they will be given failing grades if they don't.

This shows your vulgar bias at the first sight.

Leftism amongst "teachers" is a serious problem worldwide. You are proof of that! :)

How many work for such companies which are able to provide such coverage???

100% of those who work at places which offer a health benefits package in addition to salary! :)

The rest has to pay through the nose.

Then they should work at a place which offers a health benefits package in addition to salary! That or they shouldn't get sick! :)

Sth unheard of, really.

It's not uncommon. Look up medical treatments in the United States for the Dalai Lama, Saudi royalty, African presidents, etc.

Amassingly funny!

Like the American "teacher" you admire who is singing praise for Poland's health care system.

Here's another perspective:

If You Thought U.S. Healthcare Was Bad, Try Poland's Universal Healthcare

Mostly, the complaints are directed at the outrageous costs and the slippery, backstabbing nature of insurance companies. But rarely do [Americans] complain about the quality of [their] healthcare. It is among the best -- if not the best -- in the world. Americans take it for granted.

Poland, the eighth-largest economy in the European Union, ranked 32nd of 35 countries in the 2018 Euro Health Consumer Index, which compares European health care systems based on accessibility and wait times, patient rights, and health outcomes. Poland also has just 238 physicians per 100,000 inhabitants-the lowest ratio in the EU.

Polish doctors are overworked and underpaid, which is why there is a shortage of specialists in the country.(The shortage is particularly acute for pediatricians, anesthesiologists, and surgeons.) Many doctors leave for other EU countries. Some of those who stay behind will accept payments under the table in exchange for faster, better treatment. This former socialist nation is now capitalist, after all.

acsh.org/news/2020/06/02/if-you-thought-us-healthcare-was-bad-try-polands-universal-healthcare-14828

There is a lot of sugarcoating in the following article but basically the US Army had to take the lead in integrating Poland's medical practices and procedures and bring them up to 21st century standards because they were incoherent, ineffective and inefficient.

U.S. Army Expands Medical Interoperability with Polish Allies

Interoperability is key to U.S. Army Europe and Africa's vision. This MOA marks a significant milestone in combat medicine training and supports continuous interoperability with Polish allies. The resulting training opportunities will enable U.S. and Polish forces to routinely act together coherently, effectively, and efficiently to achieve tactical, operational, and strategic objectives in support of maneuver operations.

Life / My experience in Poland 15 years ago as an American trying to live and work there. [167]

Everything is very expensive there.

And expense elsewhere in Europe too. He admitted this in the interview.

MG: Why Poland?

TH: Actually, it was by accident. I was wondering where to go where it was relatively cheap, but I also wanted the country to be properly developed. I wanted to change my life, change my environment, I needed something new and fresh. I had some savings and I wanted them to last as long as possible before I settled somewhere permanently and started earning money there. So, after properly understanding European realities, we chose Poland.

He had savings (obviously from his time in America) and settled for Poland because it was still cheap.

MG: Was it a good choice?

TH: Perfect and I have never regretted it. Poland met all my expectations and even exceeded them. When I came to your country, I only worked online, teaching English on various platforms. It was a job with not very stable income - sometimes it was better, sometimes worse, depending on the number of clients. However, it was enough to settle and support themselves in Poland.


Like any teacher he is ultimately a slacker.

He doesn't have the talent or motivation to work a full-time job (and contribute meaningfully and financial to others) yet he has very high expectations of what society should be doing for him.

An interview with an American teacher of English

In other words he is a leftist who is originally from Colorado (a leftist state) and then New York (even further left).

This is not enough to live relatively comfortably in New York

Why is he comparing Poland to New York? And is it New York state or New York City (there is a big difference)?

Here are closer comparisons for where he has lived before:

- California and New York costs are most similar to Denmark. The median cost of living in the second- and third-most expensive states in the U.S. is $3,155 and $3,126, respectively. That's only slightly less than the $3,176 that's needed to get by in Denmark.

- Colorado and New Jersey have similar costs to the U.K. The median cost of living in the U.K. ($2,827) is comparable to both Colorado and New Jersey, where a single person with no kids spends $2,843 and $2,798 per month, respectively.

ktvz.com/stacker-news/2023/11/29/how-does-the-cost-of-living-in-each-us-state-compare-to-the-nations-of-europe/

it is estimated that approximately 30 million people have no health insurance

If Americans wanted a universal (aka single payer aka national) health care system they would have voted for it. They don't.

Americans have a very low opinion of their government's ability to deliver quality services and prefer to get their health care coverage through the companies they work for (this includes many unions who use it to bargain with their employers).

This American carpetbagger is also not acknowledging that the wealthy and even the heads of state of other countries with national health services often go to the United States to get treatment and leave the long lines and poor quality to the lumpen proletariat back home.

From what I remember I've read it's the other way around.

You're wrong.

men often don't know what jewelry their own wife likes

Those men are submissive and don't question their wives about what they are buying, why so much of it and how much money they are burning away.

Instead, they keep quite just to have some peace.

you're trying to tell me that you remember every outfit and accessory that every woman you meet wears every time

It's not about remembering every outfit and accessory.

Obviously as a woman you lack the visual acuity of men.

Men notice patterns and changes to them better than women.

That's why men are better not only at hunting but navigating, medicine, anthropology, engineering, solving puzzles, etc.

When you notice something is forever changing its appearance that's what's called paying attention.

unless you're completely obsessed with what women are wearing (which would be very weird)

And right on cue starts the shaming language in a desperate attempt to try to win the argument. I would say you instantly failed with that obvious ploy but you lost the moment you decided to start posting in this thread because you don't know what you are talking about and are taking this conversation in endless circles hoping something will pan out in your favor. It won't.

Remember it was a story from millennia ago which said paradise was lost because of a woman.

That story may have been a fable but look at the sorry state of it today in the feminist world.

Your post was about American workplace though.

No it wasn't. It was about any workplace found throughout the feminist West.

There are Americans living in Poland. Some even post on here and have no Polish heritage.

Polish immigration to America didn't stop in the 20th century either nor do Poles in the 21st century only go to other EU countries to study, work and settle.

Whatever upbringing you had that taught you about the world in your provincial corner of Poland simply doesn't reflect reality (past or present).

how on Earth do you keep track

It's evolutionary.

Men are better than women at spotting fine details and rapid movement. Some theorize that this difference has its roots in the hunter-gatherer days when men did most of the hunting and women did most of the foraging.

I only throw away clothes "if they literally fall apart"

You mean moth-worn because you waited too long. That's okay, women are known for their procrastination but it always comes at a cost.

But you don't know what those women are doing with their clothes.

I don't need to. They wear them once. Whether they toss them out that day or have collapsing closets full of stuff they only worn once is their business.

The point is they are not frugal when it comes to showing off and don't care about the impact it has on the environment, their own purse or the wallets of the men who put up with them.

I've seen foreign men commenting on PF that Polish women know how to shop at affordable stores

How do you know where they shop? Do these foreign men stalk them and report back to you? Do you stalk them and take notes yourself?

in such a way as to look good.

They usually don't though.

I don't know. It sounds very unsanitary.

how would you know what they do with their clothes?

Like I said they always wear something once. This isn't an exaggeration either.

You admitted you hold onto clothes for a special occasion which will never come. Even you will then throw them away when they become too dated, too moth-worn or too small to fit into any more.

Still, the clothes get thrown away.

Whether the Polish women I know do it in the the same year or stuff them away in a closet and thrown out in another year it doesn't matter.

It may seem like that, but it may simply mean that they cleverly mix different pieces of clothing.

They are the ones vying for attention by always wearing something different. And like I said, they always look in stark contrast to how dressed down their husbands and boyfriends are or they look completely out of their league when you know they live with their parents or in a tiny, cheap apartment.

Maybe, just maybe, you are a woman because you are clearly very bothered when a man like me comes along and points out your obvious and laughable behavior to you.

It's the current year though so quit squirming over your angst of having female behavior noticed and explained to you.

Polish women

I know many Polish women both personally and professionally. But wasn't there a comment made on here recently by a different poster saying they believed you were actually a man posting as a woman? :)

Anyway, at every meeting, at every event (formal and informal) with them each one always wears a different outfit each time. This is without exception and I've known them for years and some for over a decade!

Nothing is worn twice or mixed and matched. Nothing.

This includes the accessories.

And each one obviously has a shoe collection that could give the legendary Imelda Marcos a run for her money.

Where do they get the money though? If they have husbands or boyfriends the telltale sign is that their male significant others always drive beat-up cars and dress very shabbily. It is the men in their lives who get the most mileage out of their own clothes.

If they don't have a man in their life to pay for their expensive lifestyle then they live with their parents or alone in a low rent apartment in some sketchy neighborhood.

"butch lesbian"

Yes, they are known to have a fashion sense closer to most men than women. From butch haircuts, to a preference for jeans, to comfortable footwear that is always too informal and out of place for any social gathering. Based on your posts you seem to have a lot more in common with them than the typical Polish women I know.

they ignobly attacked Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk.

Welcome back!

Everyone thought you fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital after learning from the exposé videos that Tusk is a Putin puppet after all - just as I've pointed out before on PF! :)

You lied when you implied the video was made by Russians.

I never said they were made by Russians. It is a Polish investigative report on Tusk's collusion with the Russians to get favorable treatment, how in return he took a very friendly stance towards Russia, and then his attempt to use the courts to censor the videos which exposed his true allegiance.

Previously I thought Tusk was only loyal to Brussels. But now I see he is also loyal to Moscow.

Does that mean Tusk has divided loyalties? No, because in one of the episodes Kaczynski points out correctly that Russia already has deep influence over the EU.

let`s blow away another of your lies - nobody is blocking it nor has such intention.

Nope you are the boldfaced liar! :)

I said there is an entire YouTube channel dedicated to exposing Tusk's collusion and you literally said there wasn't.

Torq confirmed the channel was real and so you were exposed for lying to protect Putin's puppet! :)

I'm guessing that a guy like you who's never been with a woman doesn't know such things :)))

You have to guess because you don't know. Women always have closets full of clothing worn once (if that) because they are slaves to fashion trends. I pointed this out earlier and the harmful impact it is having on the environment. You said you didn't care because at least someone is making money off of it.

No, that's what you're doing here:

Nope, but I would never expect you (a woman) to be honest in a conversation. You lost the argument and that's why you needed to change the setting of when you dress inappropriately to make it sound appropriate even though earlier you said casual clothes was all about your freedom and you couldn't live without them.

We're discussing work place environment now and not street protests.

Where did they get those clothes from? Obviously there is a demand for them.

Granted women will wear something once and throw it away but don't tell me revealing clothing like that is limited to private bedrooms and street protests.

Woman will wear elements of that at work and make sure to reveal it to key males they want to manipulate for sex and/or promotion. It happens all the time. But your earlier description of your workplace sounds like it is run by a lesbian so it is highly unlikely any men ever worked there and so weren't confronted with the inherent problems female coworkers bring to the work place.

So, where do you live?

After you, women first! :)

She could very easily destroy patriarchate just by sitting on it.

Indeed, and then she would be the first one to complain that she can't find any men to date, marry and provide for her.

She looks oblivious that her appearance and attitude are completely off-putting. But then again maybe she isn't and is angry because she knows at her age she could never turn things around and hopes to poison the minds of young women as a way to get back at men.
