Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2563]


The answers are logical and direct but they seem to bounce off you like some outer dimension you cannot comprehend. So, ask a question!


Stating a fact is not a boast.


The reality is that legal law abiding gun owners like myself have the lowest crime rate than any other group where guns are concerned. How does taking away guns from legal owners solve the murders which are usually committed by people who are not eligible to own guns in the first place? That's the question you gun grabbers cannot answer.

Lots of people in Chicago have defended their homes from break-ins because they were armed. Usually, such home owners do not report these incidents to police because of the [still] strict gun laws in Cook County They don't want to deal with the paper work and the political hassles. These same politicos also want women to be defenseless against attacks. If the police cannot protect you than you should be allowed to protect yourself.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2563]


Give me a hypothetical situation and I'll gladly explain.....


Ah, the 'race card' in all its overused glory strikes again. I'll speak of Chicago. Last year there were 511 murders in the city. 450 of the murders were minority-on-minority so you do the math. Almost always, the guns were obtained illegally as the criminal records of the gangsta's prohibit them from obtaining firearms.

Seems your liberal views blind you from the facts.

You wouldn't understand the answer if it sat on your lap and called you 'honey' :)

So was the whole American Constitution. Truth is eternal.


No; I'd rather fight a tyrannical government with modern weapons.


No, they are killed by thugs, usually gang members who shoot each other as well as innocent victims. They obtain guns illegally and don't subject themselves to background checks.


The way the gun grabbers make it sound, it's as if they commit 100%.....


Your sarcasm aside, the fact is that legal gun owners have the lowest incidence of gun violence, yet they are the ones who are being assaulted by the government bureaucrats who always know what's best for us (more sarcasm).

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2563]

Poles certainly would have appreciated owning guns in the years 1939-1945. Taking away guns from private ownership allows tyrannical governments to operate uninhibited. As Hitler noted; [i]"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms."

So true; these white knights enslave themselves to the old traditional standards of chivalry (which women want men to keep) yet men receive no new freedoms which advantage them. Women don't need to register for military service , are given many more dollars and programs in healthcare, insurance premiums are lower and of course there is that general deferment to women in areas of social conduct.

As Warren Farrell a male feminist who once headed the New York chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) noted; The political genius of the feminist movement was its intuitive sense that it could emphasize expanding the rights of women while avoiding expansion of any rights for men. In short, women were to retain all traditional deferments while at the same time demanding full equality in top management in business and government. Even female quotas are used for these top positions but rarely for ditch-digging, log-haul trucking, oil rig working, crane operations, etc, etc, etc. . Such a deal, eh?


Just to be accurate; the phrase "war on women" was started by feminists who love to repeat it (note Sandra Fluke of the "I'm discriminated against because my university doesn't give me free contraceptives" fame).


Most journalists come from cookie-cutter academic institutions that crank out liberal beliefs. It shows in the stories and articles which they deem relevant and in those they totally ignore.


You are touching on a subject which is controversial yet empirical experience suggests much validity to it. Women have even used 'emotion' as a defense for doing something criminal, including murder.

I give you this link for your scrutiny........
heartiste.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/women-are-more-emotional-than-men-because-of-biology/#comment-415711
I certainly don't totally agree with it but .................

From the link: "Women are more emotional, intuitive and illogical than men. Anyone who's lived a day in his life knows this. In the worlds of corporate industry, war-making and invention, perhaps these traits are setbacks. But women should not be measuring themselves by those standards, the standards of men. They should seek succor in the standards of women, and there - in the worlds of family, social cohesion, lawfulness, empathy and child-rearing - women excel and men struggle"

"Boys and men right now are off to a bad start from day one and those who don't go along with the female -privileged society are stuck on the sidelines. A boy's typical day might be one with a single mom, mostly female teachers who rarely give him a break, a culture that tells him he is a pervert, TV shows, bulletin boards and news shows portraying him as a rapist and domestic violence abuser and all around bad guy. It's no wonder men have opted out of an economy and culture that values them so little."..............................................Dr. Helen Smith (psychologist)

Final note for now; the following link shows just how much our society favors women in our western culture. Feminists weave their power in almost every aspect of life and are very Orwellian in their tactics

the-spearhead.com/2013/02/26/feminist-intimidation-tactics-at-tech-conferences

The above is just one example of many areas where such tactics are used. Of course, one of my pet peeves is in advertising where virtually all the idiots are men. Now that's power. Read the whole thing to 'get it' when it comes to who has 'political correctness' and who doesn't.

Perhaps you prefer hypocritical women; I don't.


You seem to postulate falsehoods out of your butt, or at least out of thin air. The reason for such speculation on your part proves that you cannot provide evidence that refutes anything I've proven or the logic I've provided. You seem to know nothing about producing facts.

I've got any easy question for you though; If I can pay women less than men than why don't I or any other company hire women only? After all, corporate types like me want to make profits.......Please be specific and try to hold your 'feelings' about who I am to your imagination instead of listing them here.

LOL, I guess no woman ever used her sexuality on you. I've had to hire women to make diversity quotas. It's obviously a subject you are not familiar with. Additionally, it's not a man's world in advertising and in many other industries.


Not true in North America. You don't seem to know much about work environments. People working in cubicles are not paid less for the same job if they have the same seniority, it's against several federal and state laws to do so. The only exceptions seem to be women who are paid more because they fill quotas, usually in male dominated jobs. In a previous post I gave you a link that showed 40 professions/jobs where women earn more than men. It's evident that you prefer your 'feelings' about things rather than the facts.


I was mocking the false narrative that there was a "war on women" because they couldn't get free contraceptives. Comparing that to the fact that only womens health offices are created (costing several billion dollars) to zero health departments for men was a total sham. Yet, weeks of news coverage about the "war on women" was a hot topic, even during the Democratic Party Convention. Not a mention that men's health was being ignored. To not understand such disparity, and hypocrisy and pretending that it doesn't count diminishes you.


The issue isn't money. It's putting your agenda of equality where your mouth is. I realize that you 'don't get it'. ...and by the way, I consider it a successful date when the hypocritical woman immediately washes out.

Those who ignorantly charge that I "hate women" are devoid of real argumentation. It's all they have with that charge and I've previously addressed those 'shaming tactics' in another forum. Such accusations only belittle the name-caller who is oblivious to how low-level she or he is.

Some Democrats in the U.S. are beginning to salivate hoping to do something similar to the "rich" although the middle class won't be far behind.

After all "it's only fair" and it's another push for their agenda of "equality" as they see it. Of course, such whispers won't make the news and socialists

will bide their time before going public with their hairbrained schemes of redistribution.

You once again miss the big picture. That's why I frequently refer to fishbowl thinking. If you ever adopt the concept of overviewing than the rest will come more naturally to you. You see the tree but not the forest.


True, there are some women who put their money where their mouth is but they are the minority especially in expensive restaurants. I consider it a good date when I weed out women who talk "equality" but don't back it up with deeds.


I probably won't, "accidentally" or otherwise. lol


No it isn't. It might cost about $9 a month and young feminist college women want to get contraceptives (thru Obamacare) for free. Somehow, this 'small' issue became a "war on women". and received much media attention. The much larger issue which was totally ignored was that Obamacare creates 3 new health offices for women and none for men. The 2 scenarios cannot remotely be compared as the real war seems to be on men who do not quality for even one special governmental health department. Not very objective is it?


Your premise is wrong therefore I cannot respond to it. I'm not anti woman. Pointing out the myriad of hypocrisies makes me pro human and not anti anything. Of course you need to swim in a larger fishbowl to comprehend that.


Wow, you have to think really hard and do some mental backflips to come up with that one. It did make me laugh though. But try to stick with what you know and what is discussed. Pulling out some made-up scenario is no way to go through life, son.


I know I won't but perhaps in time life will. I don't state that women are the "lucky ones" only that the double standards favor them. I've met enough honest women who admit that. They are the ones who have the pleasure of my company :)

Life / Don't Forget: Tomorrow, March 8 is Women's Day in Poland! [115]


Thank you for speaking for me although you are wrong as usual. I realize that my comments are a threat to your small fishbowl understanding of the world. Just for the record, my worldly experience is empirical and observational.


It is noticeable that you are unable to specifically list one lie. You merely generalize because that's your comfort level. Everything I've noted; the wage gap; domestic violence, tv commercials, etc happen to be factual and I've backed them up but I'm not the only one. Objective researchers have also; so have people who actually know how to overview the human condition. I'm sorry that you 'feel' so threatened by true facts.


You must be referring to the "Spearhead" which has an outstanding forum. I admit it's not for those who prefer to exist in their small fishbowls usually consisting of 'feelings' and not facts. It is interesting that you visit so called anti feminist forums as you call them. Perhaps a better description for these outlets would be pro male forums. A couple of years ago I quoted from feminist forums which are truly hateful by any standards but then, facts bounce off of you.


Yes, that's what the communists and socialists thought too - that's why they started it :)

P.S. Here we have some people who instead of attempting to point out where my information is in error (which they cannot) instead attack me on a personal basis. This forum has to do with "womens day" and by extension "womens month" which is March. My discussions started when I corrected a poster with facts. Facts are troublesome things so in juvenile fashion the typical responses opposing me became personal as seen by the quotes above and elsewhere. There is no real discourse about the information I've presented. I call that small fishbowl thinking, actually, it's fishbowl feeling since facts are ignored.

Most people are capable of adjusting their biased opinions when they objectively look up information and shed their prejudices. Some learn reality empirically, that is by just living life. That is why I am hopeful in the long run of things. Everyone, have a Happy Women's Month.

Life / Don't Forget: Tomorrow, March 8 is Women's Day in Poland! [115]


I really got to go.......but....you seem to need additional corrections (it's noticeable that you are unable to retort in a specific manner to my many examples and explanations). Men and women are the same species and not a separate race. Your premise is juvenile.


Don't have the time to elaborate on this as the answer is and will be very extensive. I will however, sum up in simple manner what the current conditions are in western cultures.

I'm having dinner with a woman who is talking about women and "equality". It's our first date and she excuses herself to go to the restroom when the check arrives. When she comes back I tell her that after listening to her that I I believe in "equality". I tell her what her half of the amount is. She looks surprised. I'm aware I won't see her again, nor do I wish to, but I challenge her on her beliefs. Somehow her (and so many womens' definition of equality) version of "equality" stops when the bill comes due. This scenario epitomizes what is so hypocritical of the modern spoiled western women. It isn't just this kind of instance at the restaurant, but many others in general.

As I've pointed out in the Obamacare forum. Feminists got lots of news coverage talking about the "war on women" because rational people opposed giving women free birth control thru the new health care programs. Ironically, Obamacare creates 3 new governmental womens health offices but none for men. There was no news coverage about this even though that would seem to be a 'war on men'. That is what I mean when talking about the advantages women have in western cultures. Can you imagine if only men's health departments were created but none for women? The liberal woman and man is immune from understanding such simple concepts.

Happy Womens Month, bye

edit:


As long as (some) women continue to be hypocritical and male bash, I suppose the answer is yes. If you honestly read the posts, they don't seem to argue well though......

Was the Camille Paglia quote lost on you? She's a feminist but she also stated, "if women were left to themselves, they'd still be living in caves....". In short, these "male tradition" jobs were part of the natural development of humankind. It made sense that men created, developed and built through evolution what we have today. It had nothing to do with "equality".

Related to this is the topic of 'chivalry'.
the-spearhead.com/2012/03/24/chivalry-whether-or-not-its-dead-its-not-for-us-regular-men
You noted that men are the CEO's etc but they are also the 'beasts of burden' more often than not. From the link:
""feminists compar[e] the plight of average women to the topmost men (the monarch and other aristocrats), rather than to the average man. This practice is known as apex fallacy,, and whether accidental or deliberate, entirely misrepresents reality."

In short, females who complain about not having 50% of all the top jobs are the same ones who ignore all the working stiffs who are long-haul truckers, oil rig workers, miners, and hundreds of other jobs which are also, as you put it, in a "log male tradition". Women aren't seeking these 'careers' nor are women seeking to be drafted into the military. Nah, they just whine about not being top managers in equal numbers while avoiding the ying-yang aspect of the downside jobs.

Gotta go......

Life / Don't Forget: Tomorrow, March 8 is Women's Day in Poland! [115]


Ratios can be relative things. What percentage of women are coal miners? Should we demand a quota of 50%? That's true for many other harsh jobs. Yes, men run companies but they also work in the worst jobs as well.


I don't "prattle", I rattle.


It depends, you seem to be mixing the third world with the western world. The third world is cruel and rough.


Feminism killed it.


In western cultures women are responsible for 75% of all product purchases. That doesn't strike me as discrimination against women.


It's noticeable that you ignore that magical potion men have - it's called sperm. That's very telling about your discriminatory selectivity.


You're still eating out of Eve's apple. Our feminized culture has done a good job brainwashing you. I've read the same articles, all from a feminist perspective downgrading male importance which dominates news when it comes to these issues. They always stop short of the finish line...............

.......but without getting too deep, I'll just skip to the final results of such research. That seems to be something that many male bashers ignore. It is probable that scientists will create humans from embryonic stem cells. Not only will male sperm be unnecessary but so will female eggs. Aw gee, and here you were hoping that only men would be unnecessary. Additionally, artificial wombs will incubate these 'Brave New World" babies so the totality of the female reproductive system will be unnecessary. Artificial wombs are already in progress...

ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/pelletier20121113
and stem cell research is marching on to replace any human sexual input male or female.

I'm not so sure many women will accept these advances since the whole notion of motherhood will be turned upside down. Of course there is much more that makes us human. As Camille Paglia notes in her book, "Sexual Personae", ..

.[i]"Men in teams subordinated self-sacrificing, disposable got the human species from caves to palaces. When we watch mens teams at work, we pay homage to 10,000 years of male achievements; a record of vision, ingenuity and Herculean labor that feminism has been too mean spirited to acknowledge."

I agree that we, men and women both are more than just breeding entities; we have consciousness, free will and many more attributes which make us human. It's too bad that current provincial thinking dominated by jealous feminists has such strong currency in modern western society.

Anyone who cannot admit that many television ads are hostile towards men is deaf, dumb, blind and lying to themselves. One study from the Univ. of Minnesota noted that there were 35 anti male ads to every 1 portraying females in a negative light. Some ads showed men being kicked in the crotch (no ads would dare show a female being kicked in the crotch) . In western societies it is safe to belittle men but 'politically incorrect' to do so to women.


You are correct in your comment about safety and I have also heard female broadcast commentators verbally belittle men in ways that would not be acceptable if the opposite occurred.

The following ad shows a bossy wife telling her mere male husband what to do. The little girl is also smarter than her father. Can you imagine an similar ad with the sexes being reversed? It wouldn't be allowed......

Not true; several , fast food, insurance corporations, beer companies, soda, auto, and even computer companies. among other industries also feature anti male ads. You seem to have limited or selected vision to have missed this preponderance of ads portraying men in negative light. Frankly, the avalanche of ads portraying men as dopes is not arguable. It exists and even the advertising industry has taken note of it. Hopefully, writers will become more creative and less abusive.

I recently found this website which features a few diverse ads;

I particularly like the Dairy Queen ad where even a little girl outsmarts a (stupid) boy. That's teaching 'em.

Some commercials feature men being hit, struck, kicked or punched..

Are you sure you're not already a woman?


Keep your doors locked and don't leave the house.


No, because in general, women tend to be more emotional (yes, yes, I know it's 'politically incorrect' to state the obvious). I used to be a woman in a previous life, I believe my name was Joan of Arc or was it Elizabeth Bathory?


It's the only way I know how. Objectivity, linear thinking and logic is how I do it.

It is notable that you are unable to address in specific manner the real facts of domestic violence, anti male ads, etc but as President John Adams said;

"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."

Since March is "Womens Month"(another deference to females, one of many) allow me to wish all rational men-loving women a fantastic month.

True - - - until about 1980 or so. It's not 1955 anymore. There are probably some dinosaurs who still 'feel' that way but as a general statement, it's a canard still used but rarely true.


Not exactly true either; don't forget that 3/4 of murdered people (at least in the west) are men. Men are more likely to be victims of murder than women (albeit by thugs who are usually men).


So do many men and not just the unmarried ones (of which there are more and more). Do you still 'feel' that women cook as much as their mothers, grandmothers did? I don't think so; at least not the western woman.


There have been more books, articles written on this subject in the past 30 years than is countable. More money has been spent (at least in the U.S) on these areas and some women and lawyers make a living off this budding industry. Many sexual harassment suits are filed by greedy lawyers and often these charges are without merit. Too many females file falsely trying to make the big money score.

Okay, I'll give you an anecdote since they seem to be the only way some posters here understand things. I was eating lunch with two other women in the company's cafeteria (International corporation). The younger woman told 2 ribald jokes and the older woman and I smiled. I then told a joke of similar and dubious value. The woman who told her 'dirty' jokes acted shocked. . Somehow, being a male made it improper for me to tell a joke after hers'. She stated she was "offended " and walked out. Keep in mind that both women were middle managers in the company. As I started to tell the older woman how hypocritical and phony the reaction was from the younger woman, the other one cut me off and said, "I know...." She had been around and knew that some women displayed their 'gender card'. It's a power trip. Luckily I had an honest female witness to this incident.


If you reread your comment a few times, it might dawn on you how illogical it is. Of course many women prefer feelings to cold hard facts. Logic doesn't matter. There's a comfort in feeling oneself a victim. Many people, women and men, struggle with information which is counter intuitive to their long held beliefs. Overcoming that obstacle shows growth.

Life / Don't Forget: Tomorrow, March 8 is Women's Day in Poland! [115]


Once again, you do know what an anecdote is - don't you? I can also give examples which do not represent the average. I've even coined my research; "Fuller Facts".


You really should do some concrete research instead of going with your'e 'feelings'. You'd be surprised how often 'feelings' are wrong. There are about 40 fields where women have a pay advantage. In modeling, women make about five times more than men do for the same job. Other areas where women out earn men include: engineering because women are sought after to fill company quotas. I've included a list which should broaden your knowledge::

money.cnn.com/2006/02/28/commentary/everyday/sahadi_paytab le/index.htm


You don't look very hard at evidence, do you? The Fiebert studies
csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm
aren't just one study but a compilation of 221 empirical studies and 65 reviews and/or analyses, all done separately and almost always by different academic professionals. They were done neutrally and without bias. The researchers wanted to get the real facts and not those thrown out by agenda driven groups. Virtually all of them come to the same conclusion that in domestic scenarios, women assault men as often as men assault women, sometimes more so. That's because in personal situations there is a dynamic which is emotional. Additionally, women know they can get away with assault easier than men. That is also backed up statistically.

The fact that you seem unaware that this is not merely one study but a massive combination of research does unfortunately, show you to be rather shallow.


You seem unaware of the advantages that western women have. As to the rest of the world, it is tragic that so many women are treated no better than cattle.


That's true, of course women often overdue it themselves with ridiculous make-up and clothes. After all, who buys those dozens of 'womens magazines' which feature dubious self improvements. Of course men have their own devils to fight. While women (in general) are looked upon as sex objects, don't forget that men are often seen as security objects. Very few men marry up compared with women who do. A male CEO will marry an airline stewardess, no top female executives I know have married a car mechanic.


I won't because we are not nor should men be as pathologically consumed by fashion apparel as women are. This alone answers your previous question about womens concern for looks. Women do it to themselves.


It is strikingly different in the U.S. Men in commercials are depicted as idiots, bumbling and it's women who set them straight (frequently with their arms crossed). I am not exaggerating when I tell you that there have been hundreds (probably thousands) of television commercials where only the man is the dummy, goof, fool, idiot, etc. squidoo.com/stop-the-male-bashing

It is "politically incorrect" to portray women the same way men are in advertising, it isn't even close.


I've been to 46 countries, thank you for assuming wrongly.

My information is from the Dept. of Labor. You really should do some honest research on this. I suspect that you are young and not very educated at least in the research areas. Corporations are not allowed to pay someone less 'forthe same job' What amazes me is that you don't have the common sense to realize that women frequently take what is commonly referred to as 'soft' jobs while men take on difficult even dangerous ones that few women want. There is a gender gap however. 94% of all job related fatalities occur to men. Are you too closed minded to ask yourself why?

When feminists demand that 50% of all job related deaths occur to women than women will come closer to making what men make.


That's called an anecdote. It does not tell a complete story like total facts and figures do. Of course I agree that exceptions occur and that's true for both men and women.


As you know you added something which I did not state but then, you degree of argumentation leaves much to be desired.


Frankly, in male dominated jobs, some women make more than men because companies want the 'diversity' and get heat from governmental bodies (as I did). The fact that you don't know this makes me realize that you have much learning to catch up to. I don't have time to lecture you but dare to paste this on youtube and you might learn something.

Years ago when I was a flaming liberal I use swallow that nonsense until I used common sense and started to research these various gender related subjects. I don't have time now ti continue but will leave you with this information.

vaw.sagepub.com/content/8/11/1332.short

Women assault men in approximately equal numbers but the main street media (and hundreds of feminist organizations) only focus in one direction. That's part of the 'politically correct' culture we live in.

It's difficult for people to change their viewpoint or opinion on specific beliefs especially when somethings been drummed into them so often. It even takes personal courage to admit that what they believed in was wrong. I've certainly had to adjust my beliefs when facts and logic dictated.

Life / Don't Forget: Tomorrow, March 8 is Women's Day in Poland! [115]


Culture is not superficial. It is the ether we live in. Indeed, culture is the air we breathe. Sad, that you don't know that.


You've not named any. Of course men and women are different therefore have different experiences but those are not necessarily discriminatory. In fact, I've decided to treat women the same as I treat men. Women hate that.


You are still eating Eve's apple. The comment you postulated has been a myth for decades now. The monetary figures that feminists falsely misuse are from the Department of Labor. All workers income is tabulated and indeed in general men do make more but I always find it amazing that some people (like yourself) never look into what that means.

1/Men, on average work longer hours than women (more overtime)
2/Women take time off for family reasons, sometimes opting out of the work force for year before reinterring it. That affects income.
3/Men work in the harsher and more dangerous professions thus get paid more. (what that means is the total figures will compare a counter perfume saleswoman with a construction worker or an oil rig worker, etc) I'll explain this most important aspect to you in more detail if you still don't get it.

It is against the law (several actually, including state and federal laws) to pay someone less for the same job. That's why there hasn't been a case of successful salary discrimination of any note in more than 2 decades even though some have been attempted.

I've debated rabid feminists who could not counter my logical and statistical points. Instead, they try to change the specific subject at hand and in a handful of instances resorted to name-calling.


That's true. In the past I've had to hire women because the Equal Opportunity Commission (EOC) wanted more females hired in certain positions, usually management. I've done this even when the woman was not the best qualified. It's called affirmative action.


So you don't 'feel' that the presentation of men and women doesn't affect on how society thinks about them? I'll believe that when women are shown to be the idiots especially in ads. Of course you won't see much (if any) of that because our 'politically correct' culture doesn't allow much of that.

I shouldn't even have to explain that.

Happy womens day.

You've eaten Eve's apple. I cannot tell you how often men defer to women in a variety of things that are cultural. They have more latitude in clothes they wear and stores give women's apparel much more space than mens'. Women can be more politically incorrect particularly when it comes to verbal expressions while men have to be more 'sensitive' in their comments and jokes, particularly in a work environment.

When it comes to law, women have great advantage during divorce (please, don't bother listing the exception) and child care. In sentencing, men have longer prison time for the same type of crime (check it out). In television sitcoms the man is almost always the dufus while the female is the smart one. That's equally true in advertising where men are demeaned and the intelligent woman knows how to shop and what to buy, etc.

I can continue but surely these things cannot have escaped even your jaundiced eye. Give the apple back to Eve.

Life / Don't Forget: Tomorrow, March 8 is Women's Day in Poland! [115]

LOL; it's true, women seem to have this 'need' to feel special and it shows in so many things they do (and complain about).

There are so many venues that favor women because they are women. The list is almost endless yet feminist women pretend they don't get their fair share. For instance, Obamacare will create 3 new womens health departments but none for men, yet attempts to deny women free contraceptives via Obamacare was considered "a war on women". Logic just doesn't seem to register with them.

.....and the moon brightens the day and the sun brightens the night. Of course the most spoiled women are western females who 'feel' they are goddesses and act accordingly. By the way, when is 'men's day'?


It would be easier for humanity if women still retained the estrous cycle (in heat) like other mammalian animals. The trouble began when they evolved out of it :)

That's because you are a wonderfully unique individual that everybody admires from afar.


You got me there. I cannot deny that the Poles who inhabit the Amazon jungle do indeed talk about people behind their backs. They are known as Polazons.

I also happen to know that there are Poles who talk about people in front of their backs. There is also a rare breed of Pole who talks about people when they are sideways from them. Most of them come from Zamosc.

edit: The harshest back talkers are those who use Polish sign language. They always look like they are waving at someone behind you.

They just didn't think that the lampshade you put on your head was funny When you asked them to pull your finger they thought it was weird until you made that sound which wasn't funny either. Not to worry, they still like Tom Jones.
