And the Brit Bullies

I'm not a Brit but I'm curious how catholic fundamentalism is going to create this Utopian society. Moral solution to an economic problem? Sounds like regressive jargon from post-soviet thinking. I think a lot of people here have just lost the plot and are blinded my hatred and xenophobia.

I would not want to restore the "glory" and power of tsarist or Soviet Russia.

Ok so. So you don't support a return to feudalistic times in Poland? (No Hayek road to serfdom)
So if things go the right wing conservative way, how do you envision Poland 25 years from now as opposed to Poland after 25 years of liberalism?

Life / Polish culture versus rotten West [279]

The West as we know it is now in the intial phases of that inevitable final stage, but no-one knows when or how the ultimate collapse will occur (probably in stages?) and what civilisaiton will fill the resultant vacuum. The betting is on east Asia, but that is only a speculation.

I heard this line before. Even on interpretations of Homer's Iliad. Overcooked people and undercooked.
Maybe the Chinese and their Asian style capitalism will take over in the future, but not because the West got soft and stopped believing in the pie in the sky, but simply got undermined by a more ruthless version of the same system. And if the Chinese ever do arrive in their tanks, they will also consider Poland as the west--- the bible belt of the European west. You'll be eating curry bigos.

One may disagree with their pro-Semitic, anti-Polish and anti-Catholic editorial policy but technically it's a decent rag.

Apart from not being Polish what else do you have against Putin and his regime in Russia? Do you support radical conservatism in Russia today? Would you like to see a similar situation developing in Poland? If not, how would your version of Polish conservatism differ to Putin's?

Life / Polish culture versus rotten West [279]

degraded themselves over the course of history by succumbing to the pressure of the westerners to adopt Western cultural ideals

What are western ideals?
Whats are eastern ideals? Do you support Putin?

we are altering our identity too much

examples please.....

Our culture was fine decades ago,

What did you have that you don't have now?

English tend to not teach their children discipline as they equate it with barbarism, it is better to simply try to persuade the child and if it doen't work then pretend that you don't see how your child id destroying its life with bad life choices

Passive parent is not common in Poland?

I don't expect you to answer, as I know you're just a redneck Pole.

Could it be that we're unobjective, biased, prejudiced, one-sided and downright horse-blinkered???

No!! PIS will do all it can to bring in a Putin style government. PIS are very objective.

48 hours after polls closed and they've already broken two promises to the electorate ;)

Never underestimate the hypnotic power of the catholic church. The dark forces are out. Will be an easy job now to crack down on the media ,since the parliament and presidency have been neutralized. They have been Fox Newsed.

History / remember, forget, forgive, blame ... Holocaust Memorial Day in Poland [229]

I wonder will ultra nationalist Poles in 40 years time deny their present Islamophobia and anti-immigrant stance? And accuse people who bring up the past of being anti-Polish.

Like trying to deny this. The slogans were considerably less sophisticated: "God honour the motherland," &#******** the EU" and "Hands off Polish land". Demonstrators tossed red smoke flares in the centre of avenues as they marched from the city's Stalin-era Palace of Culture to the old town. A young man next to a poster claiming that Muslim immigrants constitute a "Trojan pig" unleashed a profanity-laced screed about the educational opportunities offered to Ukrainian youth, then noted that these "Arabs have mobile phones, so they're not poor". His marching companions agreed.

The rhetoric was harsher still at a rally in Gdansk, where demonstrators chanted "We will do to you what Hitler did to the Jews."

I think the PIS heads are like their Russian counterparts(Putinites). One is obsessed with what they term the post-communists and the latter with the Fifth column. Both are just regressive forces nostalgic for the past; which was Stalinism.

Even if its in the guise of anti-Stalinism, it's still the same game. Hence the similarities of the two countries with the rise of ultra conservatism; Putin and KaczyƄski.

UK, Ireland / Britain's moral collapse? [99]

For all its shortcomings, the Judaeo-Christian ethical system is based on common sense, advocates restraint, provides stability and has helped to calm the precarious, oft-turbulent waters of the modern world.

Moral decline. Tories just trying to appeal to UKIP supporters. I suppose the moral decline according to UKIP is due to all the Poles that came into the country trying to escape the catholic paradise.

With the Polish Taliban coming to power in the next election, I reckon even more Poles will be running for the godless UK.

News / Polish priest sacked by Vatican for being openly gay [54]

Christianity teaches the Holy Writ was divinely inspired. I can't prove it but neither can you disprove it.

Like all great works of art. The problem is what one's view is on divine. Access to the the collective unconscious or to good weed etc..

One thing is for certain, the prophecies in the bible are contrived but that does not deny their genius etc..
.

They had no answer to my question: Are the words 'Eat my body and drink my blood' therefore an appeal to cannibalism?

I think that's the way with all fundamentalist sects these day. Looking for scientific proof to legitimize their dogmatic power that is fading in modernity. They can't just win us over with gun powder tricks or brute force. So they bore the shiiite out of us with crappy documentaries looking for Noah's Ark or the Holy Shroud etc. I think the church is doomed to fail in a democratic modern world, but then again, there's the bible belt of Europe and the hill billy states of the USA who are determined undo democracy's evolution and get back to the good old days when men were men and Pansie was the name of a flower.

Given that you know the bible so well, perhaps you can tell us where we can find his thoughts about homosexuality.

The bible was written over several centuries and Jesus was only "interpreted" by later writers; he wrote nothing. Better off reading Plato, St Augustine or something, they managed to find some ink. Maybe this will answer your question..

That's what the pope says.

Yes!! and Papal infallibility is a dogma of the Catholic Church that states that, in virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error "When, in the exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians, in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine ...

So!! I think all catholics, myself included,will have to accept as fact that there is an unnatural amount of sick pervs in the catholic church.

Life / Driving Offences in Poland - How Fast can you go without being arrested? ;) [56]

The worst being few weeks ago, when I was in the middle of the crosswalk with my baby son. Instead of slowing down, the car that was really far away enough not to stop just decided to accelerate. That was a close one.

I mentioned to a an old Polish mate the other day, that the drivers here are still as much maniacs as ever. His reaction was that I should have got use to it by now. Different culture he told me. I changed the topic, as the anger was starting to come out my ears. Use to it WTF!!

Things has to improve in Poland.

It will be bordering on the impossible to stop the maniacs on little country roads etc. Big brother could never stretch that far; it's up to people to adopt a community attitude and show a bit of respect for humanity and stop acting like Neanderthals behind a wheel.

As for the cities and towns: Passengers need to report bus-drivers if they are driving like bandits. There needs to be much more cameras, much more police on the road, triple the fines. And incurable maniacs should be removed from the roads and even jailed. Severe measure will have to be taken if there is ever to be a visible improvement. jail the b******s

Anything to fight road-deaths?

There seems to be a general will here among the public to defy rules, everyone against everyone.I heard a guy on Polish radio recently describe the present and ongoing madness on the roads here as trickling down of the neoliberalism mentality mixed with communist times. I'm not sure what to think.

In my village even the locals drive over a 100km per hour in their "own village" populated by their "own children". They just don't give a fock. Have you been to Ukraine(?) they ask.
