History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]


Bobko, you need to study more Polish history, and not RuSSian version or your personal version of it, if you hope to continue debating Polish history :)


That's all great, but the thing is that we're not discussing French history. We're discussing Polish history. Czartoryski being a Prince is just a fun fact that I provided for you. It's a detail, not my main argument :) Did you read the November Uprising's manifesto that I linked for you?


Czartoryski didn't mobilize anyone. He was made the head of the Provisional Government not entirely out of his will.

@BlendedLife, another thing to consider - how will you choose the size of the wedding ring? Does your partner wear any rings? It would be a good idea for him to try it on first to check if it's comfortable to wear on daily basis, imho.

Well, when my grandma ended up in hospital with a broken pelvis, it was you who gave a lecture about skeptical/critical family members of patients making life harder for doctors and you pointed out that you have doctors in your family... So I find it ironic that you don't trust doctors yourself :))

@Bratwurst Boy, that's why I always try to check opinions about doctors online before picking one, if it's possible.


But don't you have doctors in your family? lol 👀

Yes, you'd have to drag my father with a horse to a doctor and it was usually my mother and me trying to talk him into going. It was only when things got really bad - like he was in a lot of pain or ended up in hospital it got better and now you don't have to convince him - he's going on his own.


I don't know about most, but I've definitely had experiences with some doctors who knew less than me or were simply wrong (about pretty basic stuff that a doctor with their specialisation should know) o_O

Love / What would be a traditional wedding ring for a man? [6]


I'd say that the most traditional wedding ring is classic, plain gold ring:

But it really depends on what your partner likes...

I think couples usually buy wedding rings together - after all you're supposed to wear it for the rest of your lives, so it's best if both of you like them... I personally wouldn't turn it into a surprise gift - in my opinion buying wedding rings together is romantic :) - but that's just my take on it :))

Yes, according to this survey majority of mothers treat their sons better than their daughters (I experienced this first-hand from my own mother):

theguardian.com/society/2010/oct/06/most-mums-favour-sons-survey

That's wrong though and stems from those mothers being raised in a patriarchal society.


That depends on a particular individual. There are women and men who are like that, but there are many others (women and men) who aren't like that.


A quote from a Polish article on WP abcZdrowie titled "Polish men live 8 years shorter than Polish women. National Health Fund is giving causes.":

"5. Men who are in a relationship are healthier

Scientists from Harvard Medical School have proven that men who are in relationships are healthier (especially if they're married), they are three times less likely to develop cardiovascular diseases and they live longer. The partner's role can't be underestimated also in Poland. The portal uPacjenta has conducted a poll which results show that:

- men in relationships are more convinced about the necessity of preventive examinations: 80% of them think they're necessary (only 60% of single men think the same),

- 25% of men declare that they're usually being reminded about examinations by their other half."


In Poland women have retirement pensions (if they worked) or so called family pensions (if they were housewives and didn't work).

While not giving them equal rights and opportunities for millennia and treating them like subhumans.


Yes, this man "conformed" to my expectations of being a decent human being condemning rapists and murderers lol And why "man"?


You're either seriously sick in the head or you're a very dishonest manipulator. You claimed that "women don't appreciate anything men do for them" and that's why I wrote that I appreciate what Żartowniś Ponury did. You didn't write anything about respect and camels and so I didn't write anything about respect and camels either o_O

Well, it looks like that simple Polish comic strip was too complex for you :)))


Not true, I very much appreciate that comic strip by Żartowniś Ponury (who is a man, btw lol), or rather his sentiment that he expressed through it :)))


Sorry, I haven't seen that comment of yours :)

Life / Womans day in Poland? [242]


I see that, just like Alien apparently, you didn't understand that comic strip lol


How did you possibly get such an impression??? ;D ;D *irony mode again*


Do you understand nuns too? :D

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]


*Prince, sorry. 🤦


A fragment from the November Uprising's manifesto that I linked to earlier:

"The Polish nation has risen against the humiliation and subjection with a manly decision of not returning to the shackles it has broken, not laying down the weapons of their ancestors, until it wins independence and power, the only guarantees of freedoms, until it secures those freedoms, which are by right theirs doubly due to the honourable heritage of their ancestors and the urgent need of our century; until it reunites with the brothers subdued by the Saint Petersburg's throne, frees them from this yoke and make them part of its rights, freedom and independence. We are not motivated by any national (*ethnic?) hatred towards Russians, a great Slavic tribe, just like us."

I find it interesting that they felt the need to stress that they don't hate RuSSians. Did the tsarist propaganda even back then claim that Poles hated Russians? That they're "Russophobes" revolting "for no reason" out of pure spite and "blind hatred" towards Russians? lol 🤔

lol Well, I doubt that such transformation happened overnight... You don't grow such muscles in a few days :) Besides, if I were married to a PiS politician, I'm sure I'd feel like punching something too ;D 😂

The cat is talking about women, not other cats. Żartowniś Ponury posted this for Women's Day. Men are giving flowers to women on Women's Day - get it?

And by "W cieniu ostatnich wydarzeń" (in light of recent events) I'm guessing he means that latest rape and murder in Warsaw.

I don't know - that's just his thing, I guess. Sometimes he puts people in his comic strips and sometimes this cat. Maybe it's because cats are known for being independent and having an attitude? His comic strips are pretty blunt.


And this :))

Surprise! NEWSFLASH!

Breaking!

"Women Like To Be Taken Care Of Too." They also like it when their husbands are taking care of their children.

I know - "SHOCKING"! lol




But she's providing that for you too, isn't she? So she's making you feel special, loved, wanted AND BESIDES THAT is doing everything for you in the house AND is taking care of and rasing YOUR children. So she's doing something EXTRA (and a lot of it). And what are YOU doing in this relationship?

Btw, I'd really like to know what it means for a RuSSian man (or any other man for that matter) "to make her feel special, feel loved, feel wanted. In such a way, that she feels there exists nobody for you, but her."? :D

You tell her that you love her and that she's beautiful from time to time? You buy her flowers on Women's Day? You have sex with her when you feel like having sex? :D

Damn, that sounds like a lot of HARD WORK! :D ;D *irony mode*

(Pity you didn't choose to stay quiet at least on this day. 🤮)

And I'm telling you that regaining independence/fighting against the foreign rule was the main priority of every Polish uprising, including the November Uprising. It was directed against the RuSSian rule - it wasn't some universal, general fight against kings and aristocracy:

"The Manifesto of the Parliament of the Polish Kingdom about the rising of the Polish nation (December 20 1830)":

pl.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Manifest_obu_izb_sejmowych_Kr%C3%B3lestwa_Polskiego_o_powstaniu_narodu_polskiego_(20_grudnia_1830)


That was what triggered the uprising. But the situation was building up before that. And you seem to be convinced that this was the main reason behind the uprising, which wasn't the case.


So that's why insurrectionists put count Adam Jerzy Czartoryski as the head of The Provisional Government? It doesn't sound very "revolutionary" to me ;)

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]


Really? What kind of sentiments were driving the Kościuszko Uprising and the January Uprising then, according to you? :)))


Nope. There were Polish independence organisations at that time and RuSSians persecuting them was one of the reasons for the Polish revolt. I think you need to have a read:

Well, you aren't stating any facts... lol You're just stating what is the stereotype about the police in RuSSia (apparently). There's no such stereotype about the police in Poland, for example, so I don't know where RuSSians got such an idea... 🤨

Seriously? Why?

Life / Grisly crimes in Poland [92]


Because in one of the articles I've read that CCTV recording has shown other people besides those two women walking by when the rape was taking place and they didn't do anything either. I mentioned those two women, because they were the only ones who bothered to go the police (unfortunately after the fact) and give some explanation as to why they didn't react. And since I don't know the gender of the rest of the passersby recorded by the CCTV camera - I wrote "people".

I will respond to the rest of your rant when I have more time to read it :)
