Off-Topic / FIFA World Cup 2026 [57]

The cheapest tickets for the final are $4,185 that's zł15036.64 which is crazy.

What... xD Are those tickets made of gold and diamonds? xDDD Jesus Christ...

he just got Trump a prize, fffs.

What... xD What prize... xDDD Did Trump end some imaginary football war??? xDDDD 😂😂😂

Lord have mercy on us...

tourists will have to provide 5 years of social media history, 10 years of email history, phone numbers for last 5 years and information on family members

What... xDDDDDD 🤯

Kto patrzy na to co się teraz dzieje w USA w cyrku się nie śmieje...

No, to be honest, I actually don't feel like laughing anymore...

The best hope is that it will take time to fully implement it and it will happen after the World Cup.

Wait... So this is not just for the World Cup?? Sorry, but I have no time for following news right now and I'm reading this and I can't believe this is happening... o_O'

I'm really starting to dislike this timeline...
It is getting dystopian...

Oh, yes - it was Piłsudski. Right. ;)

?

I'm quite sure human trafficking was never ignored by men

I don't know the details, since I don't think we were taught at school about this, but that's what I've read on the official site of the President of Poland (it was posted during Andrzej Duda's reign) - it's written there that it was one of the issues "neglected by men". Knowing men and history - can't say I find it surprising. Prostitution of underage girls, for example, was apparently common and pretty normalised during the interwar period in Poland (there was a lot of poverty during that time).

This is the publication on the presidential site that I'm talking about - it was posted to celebrate the 100 years anniversary of that decree:

Today exactly 107 years ago after Poland regained independence Józef Piłsudski signed a decree granting voting rights to every citizen of Poland 21 years of age "regardless of gender".

Already in 1919 a first group of women was voted in into the Polish Parliament - they initiated laws concerning issues that were so far ignored by men like, for example, human trafficking of women and children.

Do not expect from others more than you expect from yourself.

Ah, and to continue on the topic of male right-wing hypocrisy - this Papjeż pOlak in his posts was also sh1tting on "fat women" while he himself looks like this :):

hobbit

they hate other gays because they, gays

Are you talking about yourself here??? :D

lol

You let me look down on you because you are slow, and then you claim that I do not treat you right.

As I wrote - you're not too bright :))) The fact that I'm asking questions doesn't make me "slow" :)))) It means I have a reason to ask that question. The fact that you don't know that reason doesn't mean I'm stupid :)))

For those on the left who claim to love humanity, being tolerant and open to all kinds of different views

We don't know that woman's views though and if she claims to be "tolerant and open". Besides, it isn't about being open to different views, but whether people who profess those views actually live by them. And my observation is that right-wingers often don't but they eagerly judge and condemn others.

Do not expect from others more than you expect from yourself.

I don't.

or are we addressing more serious crimes like child abuse?

Well then, the Church has been very forgiving towards those more serious crimes too for years and that's a (very serious) problem. I'd say that's the darkest stain on the Church's robe.

Not hypocrites but weak human beings.

Yes, hypocrites. Waging wars against "LGBT propaganda", making people hate gays, being against sex or health education at school, but at the same time moving literal rapist peadophiles, sex and drug addicts from parish to parish, sweeping the Church's sins under the rug is hypocrisy. And simply stupid.

You posted it for some reason, and I guess rather because you agree with it, not disagree.

Yes, it is also my observation that hypocrisy is very common among rightwingers.

the crux of the matter is that the post you agreed with was hypocritical in itself.

How so?

They should, but they are not saints.

They should strive for sainthood though. All Christians should, but "shepherds of the flock" - even more so.

Even if they fail in their duty to lead by example, they can and should still do their job.

You contradict yourself then. You wrote the opposite before.

I dislike simpletons' views on what constitutes leadership, priesthood, and all matters concerning them.

Your "dislikes" aren't that important though. What does matter is the reality. And the reality is that people won't follow hypocrites. That's the crux of the matter. If the Church will be building its walls on sand (bad priests), instead of on a rock (good priests who lead by example), it will keep crumbling.

That is their job. What is your issue? What matters is whether they are good at their job or not. You don't ask a car mechanic about the state of his own car and so on.

A nonsensical comparison. A priest isn't a car mechanic, he is a kind of "public trust figure". Just like politicians, police officers, etc. - we expect certain moral standards from them. Priests are even more than that - they're "Christ's witnesses", heirs to Apostles and they should lead by example. Not just by words, but by deeds. People listened to Jesus because, apparently, he lived by what he preached.

"Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, ,'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law."

Matthew 7:20-29

you claim to be an open and tolerant person

I definitely used to be like that, but not as much anymore as in the past. I guess you're not up to date :)))

willing to consider all points of view.

Consider - yes, accept - not necessarily *shrugs*

Your statement, of course, is nonsense

That's not my statement, but my translation of a sarcastic comment from the internet:

@mafketis, thanks for the links, I'll check them out when I have more time.

Even if they don't - so what?

It matters because they're breaking a vow given to God and yet they lecture non-clergy Catholics on keeping their vows (marital vows) and punish them for "breaking" them (divorce) by denying them the Holy Communion while the priests breaking their own vow have access to it all the time. That's hypocrisy.

No, it is based on data that is out there.

Then post them :)

Check the statistics of domestic abuse in female couples and compare them with the statistics on normal couples.

I don't have the time to check how many studies have been done concerning this (apparently not many) - I had a quick look at Wikipedia and judging by that both in case of gay and lesbian couples the difference with heterosexual couples isn't that big. Additionally, in case of lesbians a third of them experienced that domestic violence from at least one male perpetrator so that study is a bit confusing.

Either way, what does it have to do with gay priests who are all males? Is there a study out there showing that gays make worse priests? Does it show gay priests being less likely to observe celibacy and more likely to display pathological behaviour?

Btw, at the end of the secondary school we were signing each others' souvenir books with our classmates and one of the boys from my class who was an altar boy in our church wrote in mine: "I want to be a priest like my father" lol So it clearly has been a running joke for years...

Another scandal of lesser degree :) but also touching upon hypocrisy:

So there's this Polish, apparently popular, controversial, right-wing influencer who has over 100 000 followers (among them Polish members of parliament, Deputy Speaker of the Sejm, TV Republika reporters) called Papjeż pOlak. In his posts he's been sh1tting on women with tattoos, on women over 30, on single mothers, on men who get into relationships with single mothers, etc. But it turned out that his current girlfriend is OF COURSE NO OTHER but a single mother over 30 with tattoos and piercing and a sh1tstorm on the internet has ensued, hahahaha :D :D :D:

donald.pl/artykuly/ahPUf9cF/zwiazek-prawicowych-influencerow-wstrzasnal-konserwatywnym-internetem-padly-oskarzenia-o-zdrade

Of course the comments on the social media are like:

"Rightwingers being hypocritical? News to me."
