Life / Will Poland ever be multicultural like Sweden, Germany or France? [201]

Someone went on holiday to Africa and came back with a bonus.

Or had a relationship with someone.

This is in no way representative of todays sense of beauty

I happen to like her looks (although she looks much better in different photos). Her smile is not my cup of tea. But then, I generally don't fancy beauty pagents look.

Only a loser becomes a cop.

Or somebody who want to stop the bad guys!

You have to have a strange moral/ethical coordinate system to be a cop.

??? Putting away criminals is immoral/ unethical?

News / Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [90]

man have to pay his share for something that's not his body

BOTH parents have to pay their share.

yet he doesn't have an equal say in the fate of that which isn't his body?

Because it's not him who is affected by the pregnancy and birth.

So the women has certain say in the beginning of pregnancy (as the pregnancy is affecting her body and her life) until she looses her say as well.

when compared to the actual burden of child support lasting years and even into decades.

That can be stopped by giving the child up for adoption ( or simply f.. off as so many fathers do), pregnancy and birth can't. Plus a mother has all that on top of pregnancy and birth and the stigma of leaving her kids if she gives them up ( that somehow almost never seem to be the case with man)

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

Great. Works for me. After all it's not St Mary's case and someone is the father. I have nothing against finding the actual bum.

I wonder how many women would be outraged

True, however I would say 98% of cases when women considers abortion the man either is not in the picture, is completely pro or indifferent. And considering the rate of man sticking around when a child is disabled I don't see how they should be taken into consideration

then why should he have to support something that is not his body?

Woman has to as well.
But don't compare paying child support to being pregnant and giving birth!
But let's make it more equal and let as many abortions are there are dads not paying child support, deal?

can freely decide not to support child?

No. But once medicine allows embrion transplant he should have say in the abortion. Untill then, no, sorry ( not that most guys are that bothered and I heard more stories of them want9ng the abortion)

80% of divorces are initiated by women

Which shows they are not that crazy about the marriage thing either.

Poles - first they explode, then they burn.

I wouldn't say so. I think for us raising voice is like a madness gauge. That gives time to de-escalate. In other places people won't yell until it's too late and the conflict is too big to do anything about it.

what Iron is trying to say is that murdering a child in its mother's womb can hardly be justified by the child being unwanted.

That is a different argument. My response is purely to Novichoks statement that those kids would be wanted.
As to the reasons for abortions- that is a different matter. For you guys I don't think there are any, are they?

That tribe would make those "unwanted" children wanted very quickly.

Yeah, we know from history how they were loved. Especially those disabled ones.

That's a low life comment.

That kind of attitude towards women look actually has the opposite effect on me. It makes me care even less what I wear.

With the rise of the far right the immigration issue will be tackled, they will make sure of that!

The thing is while they mind the dark skinned/ Muslim immigration more, they are not that keen on all immigration, including from other EU countries

I prefer it that nowadays comfort is more important than superficial appearances. 🤔

Same here. Sorry but I love jeans and trainers. I like the fact I can run/ climb/ play with a ball etc. I feel more energetic and go get it.

I do like smarter clothes too but my physical freedom is important to me.

Not to mention not all walks of society dressed that smartly. The images we have is usually based on the upper classes.

creating 15-minute cities under the guise of personal convenience while still maintaining the choice to go wherever you want and whenever you want.

I already did. I lived in a place where none of my schools, doctors etc was further then 15 minutes walk and there was no problem when me and my friends were moving around the country.

The Soviets limited people's movement and choice

There is a difference between stopping people's movement and making sure they have what they need close by (but still not limiting them if they want to go further.

it's only suburb-crazed Americans that freak out at that idea...

And almost all I've seen on You Tube on traveling/ cultural shocks etc are mentioning how lovely it is to have things at a walks distance

Normal in Poland.

I wouldn't say that tiles are common in the 'living' areas. Kitchen, Bathroom, hallway-yes
