Do you have a high fever? Because you're talking nonsense.

I agree.

but didn't change his stance on either the invasion of Georgia

Didn't he apologise for that? I thought that this is what it was meant in the article.

I never knew you were so anti-Georgian, Paulina.

*sigh*

Of course I am not anti-Georgian, you silly. "Never forget and never forgive" doesn't equal "I love you Navalny!!! lol Do you understand?

how do you reconcile this with "oh our dear Alexei

First of all, he's not "my dear Alexei". I simply recognise that he was a political dissident (and a brave one at that) and that what Putinist regime did to him and many others is very wrong. It doesn't mean that I agree with all his views or that I even like him.

He supported the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008 when he named the Georgian nation as a rodent

He apologised for those comments since then:

newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-evolution-of-alexey-navalnys-nationalism

and now all of a sudden he is some sort of a saint

Not a saint, but a political dissident locked up (and killed) by an authoritarian regime.

and this half-wit Tusk writes...

"Alexei, we will never forget you. And we will never forgive them"

And this is true. I will also never forget him and will never forgive them, obviously. Does that make me a "half-wit"? o_O

Genealogy / Crest and the meaning of last name Sumski [33]

Novichok is a convinced emigrant.

And I'm guessing that tlckrsum's ancestors came to the US years ago and she was born in the US.

what am I to do with that when I have 800 years of documented family history tying me to a place?

I don't know... How about... go back where you belong...? lol You clearly aren't and don't consider yourself to be an American, so I don't know what you and your family history has anything to do with it.

Americans are without roots, a bastard child of history.

Nonsense - of course they have roots, like everyone else. And it's a young country built by immigrants, so I don't know what you expect... o_O

Genealogy / Crest and the meaning of last name Sumski [33]

It could not mess with it, to a point you don't even know what country, let alone city, your ancestors lived in.

Of course it could.

I know my family history going back to the 12th century.

Good for you lol But many people don't bother to research their family history. Also, people's families can have different histories. Different than yours.

These kinda rootless, homeless, clueless people really irritate me.

From what I understand the OP isn't "rootless, homeless". Since her ancestors came to the US - I'm guessing that she's an American.

Genealogy / Crest and the meaning of last name Sumski [33]

These types of threads are a good argument against emigration. Within two generations, people haven't the faintest clue of what their homeland is, and have to ask people on Internet forums.

It sounds like you've been living too long in the US and you "forgot" how history in this part of Europe messed with borders and family histories. 🤨

He said it was Sumski.

You mean OP? I meant Reesh1 - he wrote "Szumski".
And as for OP - read his post again. He wrote: "it was shortened when they came to the usa. Think there may have been a z in it."

Genealogy / Crest and the meaning of last name Sumski [33]

@Bobko, it looks like Szumski is a Polish surname:

waw4free.pl/wydarzenie-54407-bogumil-szumski-brat-marii-dabrowskiej-zolnierz-beliny-i-generala-maczka

First of all, "szum" in Polish means "hum, noise" etc. And this surname comes from those place names: Szumsk (Wilno region, among others), Szumsko (Opatów region), Szum (regions in Poland and Ukraine) or Szumy (Belarus):

Off-Topic / Most Hated Country in the World 2022 [234]

I would see that teacher and tell him that if he touches her one more I will hurt him.

Any normal person would report such a teacher at least to the headmaster (at the very least), because a teacher who's touching sexually his students against their will is most likely a sexual predator and he may do it to other girls too, even if he stops doing it to your granddaughter. You're seriously f*cked up in the head.

I read that paragraph and decided to ignore it.

You decided to ignore it, because you know I'm right :)))

It was written for 6-year-old kids.

That's because you don't understand (or pretend to not understand) the most basic things that any normal adult would understand and so I have to explain it to you the way I would to someone on the intellectual and mental level of a 6-year-old kid.

Men don't "grab" breasts.

There are men who do grab breasts. And they don't care that they're soft and sensitive.

I would tell her to avoid the scumbag and warn all her friends about him.

And what if he was her teacher, for example, and there was no way for her to avoid him completely? Or if he was one of her classmates and he would keep touching her?

No, moron.

Yes, moron.

Crimes are defined in the penal code. How the victim feels is irrelevant to these definitions.

The victim's will is crucial in case of certain crimes. If you give someone 100 dollars out of your own free will - it's not theft. If someone will take your 100 dollars against your will then that is theft - and that makes it a crime. The same with touching people. If a woman wants to be touched by this particular man and she agreed to be touched by him - that's not sexual abuse. If she doesn't want to be touched by this particular man and he touches her breasts or bottom against her will - that's sexual abuse.

A woman has of course the right to change her mind any time during the act.

Of course.
They may be all kinds of reasons for a woman wanting the guy to stop, including very serious ones. For example, the guy may start being too rough or she may be in pain for some reason.

I'm not sure if men realise how delicate women's genitals are.

Check this out:

marca.com/en/football/2024/02/01/65bb7f1122601d50408b459b.html

"The 19-year-old, who was rushed to the Municipal Hospital of Tatuape, died after suffering a hemorrhage in her genitals (she had a five-centimeter cut) and four cardiorespiratory arrests."

That football player claims that the intercourse was consensual and it could be - at the beginning. But you don't get a five-centimeter cut on the entrance to your vagina from "consensual sex".

Any normal guy who sees that the woman he's having sex with is hurting, bleeding or asks him to stop - will stop.

Have to agree, Much of Rich's logic is lost on me.....

It's lost on you, because you're not a sociopath and Novichok is.

The only cure: have your own daughters, azholes

It didn't help you.

When a woman - drunk or not - touches a man's ass - is she a criminal or not yet?

That depends on whether the guy is OK with it or not. And if you don't know if he's OK with it or not, then ask him or simply don't touch him. It's that simple. Besides, it's not normal to touch random's people asses out of the blue o_O

touchy-feely woke crap - like he touched my breast or butt - as rape or sexual "assault"

Oh, so it's OK for your son-in-law to grope his teenage daughter's (and your granddaughter's) breast and ass? That's not "sexual abuse"?

but I might have to consider them kids with as much control as a 4 yo

It's not about a lack of control. It's selfishness and lack of empathy. And the conviction that he's going to get away with it.

This property ensures procreation.

We've evolved from being animals. And for those who didn't - there are laws and prisons.

How about hiring Polish prostitutes for the occasion?

Whar the f*ck are you even talking about?

some unauthorized unauthorized love making

When illegal migrants will gang rape your granddaughter until she dies, are you going to call it "engaging in some unauthorized love making" too, you disgusting pile of human excrement??

What would Poles choose: (...)

1 or 2?

Option number 3, you stupid psycho - being liberated by Western allies. The Soviet Army could go around Poland, as far as I'm concerned.

Those Soviets look less bad now, don't they...

Not to Poles, you stupid a$$hole.

Not good enough.

As good as your guesses. Actually, it's more of a logical conclusion on my part, rather than a guess. 🤔

To dump on the Soviet troops, the accuser has to do better than "they were more common".

OK. I actually think they were way more common. Better now? lol

At least the Soviets had an excuse.

No, they didn't. There's no "excuse" for raping innocent women and girls, you f*cked up psycho.

Facing sudden death 24/7 gets annoying very quickly and can turn any man into an animal.

Really? So, why all soldiers who faced and face sudden death 24/7 don't turn into rapists?

Back to the Soviets...How many Polish women did they rape?

It's impossible to know the exact number. This article may just give some idea:

ciekawostkihistoryczne.pl/2015/04/26/mamy-prawo-do-wszystkich-polek-sowieckie-gwalty-nad-wisla/

To be honest, after reading this article I've come to a conclusion that I didn't even realise how common those Soviet rapes were in entire Poland...

Then the question is why they changed the definition of rape and made Sewden look worse than ever.

Travel / Leaving baggage unattended in Chopin Airport [16]

@jon357, there were evacuations at Okęcie - due to false bomb alarms. But, also, for example, when someone left a backpack at a parking lot in front of a terminal - the owner showed up at the time when the bomb squad was working already - and so he got fined.

Travel / Leaving baggage unattended in Chopin Airport [16]

@Paulina thank you so much:))

No problem :))

So, as I understand I am completely fine right now? :D

Yes, you are - you can relax :))) As you wrote yourself:

Also she said I'd be fined if someone would call the police for suspicion or sth like thar

So, as the lady told you - you'd get fined if the police was called. First they usually announce through the speaker for the "lost" owner of the baggage to show up and if the owner doesn't show up - then they call the police. And since you showed up and took care of your baggage - there was no need to call the police = no fine.

Give me the difference between the old and the new definitions. Not verbatim...just the main points.

I'm not some expert on Swedish rape law. I once read answers to a question about the surge in rape reports in Sweden on Quora and a Swedish guy living in Sweden explained there that it was due to the change of definition of rape/sexual assualt in the law. I remember that he gave such an example: "If a guy in a club walks out of the toilet and shows his penis to some random woman, it would be put nowadays into rape/sexual assualt category".

If you're so interested in an exact definition before and after the change in the Swedish law, then you have the same ability to Google it as I do. I only remember that the increase in rape reports and convictions happened after the law changed:

reuters.com/article/idUSKBN23T2R2/

Did the UK change the definition, too? How about Germany with its 5x rape rate compared to Poland's?

I don't know anything about rape statistics in Germany and the UK, sorry.

To celebrate today's special day - "Pączek z konfiturą" by Sebastian Talar (oil on wood panel, 20 x 20 cm, 2016) :))):

paczek

🍩❤️

The effect was horrible - a primitive artist like Nikofor painted better.

You can't suddenly start painting at university age without any previous training and expect great results :))) To paint well you have to first learn to draw at all and then it takes a lot of practice to do it well.

Also:

the famous Black Madonna portrait onto a piece of paper with oil paints

1. Paper isn't the best for oil painting. Primed canvas or primed wood panels are much better.
2. In order to paint with oil paints you have to know the basics on how to do it.
3. People are one of the most difficult subjects to draw/paint. It's better for beginners to start with something simpler, imho, in order not to get discouraged and to learn the basics.

In other words - you can't just decide out of the blue to climb Mount Everest without any prior experience in climbing and expect not to die in the process :)))) 😉

Travel / Leaving baggage unattended in Chopin Airport [16]

@Flynns17, I only explained why the lady warned you. She was probably also just explaining to you why it's a serious matter, so you wouldn't leave your baggage unattended again :)

is it impossible for me to face with any problems related to fine when I get back to Poland?

As jon357 already wrote:

If anyone was going to issue you with a fine, they would have done it at the time.

Any baggage left alone is treated as a potential danger - bomb squad has to be called and the place - evacuated.

Also, some stranger could put something illegal into your baggage, for example, and you could get in trouble.

Now that Poland is no longer under Russian control, Soviet rapes should be public knowledge

They are. Not only public, but first and foremost - historical. I was taught about Soviet crimes in Poland at school and I've read about them (including rapes) in press articles long ago already.

Sweden is so high because they have changed the definition of rape

Yup.

3. As a consequence of 1 +2 and due to shame and a wish to forget the victims only spoke about this mqny decades later, a pattern common in victims of sexual assault.

Of course.
