UK, Ireland / Polish women in UK caught involved in prostitution scheme [39]

much of it involves human trafficking

yes im aware of that ... i said if a woman is willing there should be nothing illegal about it.
if she is not willing well it's rape then isnt it and that is already illegal. So because rape is illegal and the whole culture of sex involves people being forced to have it agaisnt their will should sex be illegal... thats pretty rediculous isnt it. As long as she or he is willing to trade sex for money ... why should it be illegal

what about if an attractive guy would pay you for sex?

hmm well if i were single and he was someone i found sexually attractive and wanted to be with sexually anyway and he was willing to pay me for something i woudl give him for free... sure why not

not even in a sense... she/he is prostituting themselves if you are with someone you will be having sex with them at some point so if you dont care about them and are not sexually attracted to them but you are in fact having intercourse with them in order to gain something for yourself that would be prostitution. How many men and women do this? If your girlfriend dumps you because she got all she wanted out of you and isnt interested anymore (maybe you lost a fortune on the stock market or something) can you charge her with prostitution, no ... atleast someone taking money from someone in exchange for sex isnt causing any emotional damage, atleast that person is being honest about their intentions perhaps there is more class in that.

so i have two points :) yay i win. I would like to point out your use of punctuation seems plentiful in this thread lol although it is from a different thead i know you will get my point and possibly give me three points.

to stay on topic and further what i have said, i don't personally agree with prostitution i would never be a prostitue nor hope it for my future children but i have no right to dictacte what another woman or man does willingly with his or her body nor should the government or the police. It is the worlds oldes proffession after all and how is a woman willingly getting porked for a sum of money and less degrading to her than willingly porking any random guy she meets for no money at all. if you're going to be a hoe might as well make money off of it.

Despite the almost p3undone-like lack of punctuation (lol), that's a great post

while i am capable of using punctuation i am corrupted by my western ways into being far too lazy to do it :) lol and it's so much more fun to make people try and figure out where the actual punctuation should be to make my statement read like it was supposed to.

throwing in comma's and periods takes too long haha i figure you are mostly intelligent enough people you will figure it out.

i don't think they are unattractive they could use a shower and a little make up but no one looks spectacular when they get out of jail lol

so stupid willing having sex for money, why is this illegal. Sex is legal, selling things is legal but selling sex not cool ... ugh

home cooking is cheaper than eating out here to actually if a person is intelligent about it. ofcourse it is cheaper to go to mcdonals than the grocery store but then one could argue that the slop at mcdonalds is not actually food. proper planning and meal prep could lead to eating at home being just as cheap as eating out but people still dont do it. They don't have time here unfortunatly in order to maintain and sustain the level of luxury that most people have decided they aspire to requires both parents to work long hours.

Wow ...ilmc, you sure are one ignorant dude.

yet im not so ignorant as to ignore someones gender... im a girl not a dude
and people leave poland to search for the non existant american dream... i am not saying poland has it made i am saying that the world has been so brainwashed about the great life over here in the western world that they are willing to leave their home countries in search of it... most end up dissapointed. I am saying that while they may not be rich financially they are certainly not a poverty stricken country in the world view of things. you need a lesson on what matters in life.

I am live in canada i am surrounded by the effects richness has on people and it is disturbing. i make enough money to be able to afford a large home with a bathroom for each bedroom a large t.v in every room and all of life's luxuries yet that is not what is important to me, when that is what becomes important families suffer. i live in a modest home with one bathroom one t.v that i rarely turn on we eat dinner at the table we talk my cell phone is used for emergencies the simple life has its benefits that i because of the modest life style i chose could easily stay home and not work while my husband works and raise my children with their mother at home. I see nothing wrong with being financially stable but when you let it corrupt you and replace what is truly important in life, family, values, morales, ethics taking care of each other that is when it becomes wrong.

the mass emigration is because while they aren't poor they believe people have it better somewhere else grass is always greener on the other side etc. You don't have to be rich to not be poor poland is not rich but it is not poor.

The solution to modernity parents making enough money to spoil their kids but not doing it, making kids earn things work for things learn the value of hard earned money. It is not always possible, but when it is eating dinner with the kids at the table and talking to each other putting cell phones down. Families dont talk anymore. The solution is obvious people just don't care they always do what is easier and the world is suffering for it the western world is full of spoiled rotten selfish brats who have no idea what hard work is what is going to happen if and when north america sees another great depression and these kids who will now be adults will have to work and scrape and save to survive ... i am scared to see what will happen.

Pip is right not having 2 cars, an iphone and a 64 inch t.v in every room of your house does not make you poor.... it is excessive some people who are very well off don't have that why because they are practical and it isnt necessary. Poor by western standards is not poverty.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

yeah but over 20% of Americans claim German descent so it's just as much German as it is American ;-)

no it is actually entirely german and not at all american... just another borrowed food americans like to call their own although americans did destroy the beauty of the home made hamburger with fast food joints, not that canadians are any better there... hard to find a good hamburger in north america

actually i am a non religious canadian... not at all what i have to say but ... nice try.
and yes jon proper care for the elderly is important but is sending them to a nursing home doping them up and never visiting them really proper care, it is especially inexcusable in a rich country like mine where the financial burden of having them live at home and hiering a nurse to attend the home daily would be affordable but it is never done because people are too busy to be bothered with family here with the small thiings that matter. I have nothing agaisnt an open mind or a permissive country but with the amount of drug addicts teen pregnancies and sponges on the social welfare system that countries in the western world have perhaps that openness and permissiveness has gone to far. Parents are far too busy getting rich here and buying their childrens love to pay any attention to them.

yes jon it seems the more financially rich and economically stable a country becomes the more like the west it becomes... Becoming a part of the EU might be good for economics but... not so good for culture, for family values not to mention you will see obesity sky rocket

that being said statistically speaking poland is no where near like the west with the the things i hate about modern life.
obesity is low there
teen pregnancy is low there
the average age to lose your virginity in poland is 17 seems more resonable
families eat at home much more often and together much more often
elderly parents are kept at home much more often and in cases where they are not visited much more often.
etc...
so no poland has not sunk to the lows of the west... yet

morality would refer to a code of conduct considered reasonable by most persons in a society. 50 years ago the code of conduct considered reasonable by western society was a much higher standard than it is today.

people lose their virginity on average in north america when they are 13 years old
20 percent of women will have had one abortion before they are 18 in canada
elderly people are placed in homes because people are to busy working to get rich to afford monetary richness and don't have time to care for them

1 out of ever 6 people in a nursing home gets a weekly visit
the average cost to feed a hospital patient per day in canada 5 dollars the average cost to feed a prison inmate 11 dollars
These all seem very immoral to me.
With freedom of this and freedom of that and freedom to all do as we please we have lost a sense of self respect dignity the importance of family and right from wrong. only 1 in 12 families in north american eats dinner at the dinner table the rest either both parents are working to provide a life of luxury for their children or they prefer to eat in front of the t.v

i could go on and on with statistics that depict a lack of importance placed on the things that really matter in exchange for being the richest countries in the world and this is the price you pay for a richness in economics... a poorness in culture in family in ethics and families and values.

I would rather be poor by western standards ( not owning 2 cars, a computer, an iphone, etc) than continue to watch this so called wonderful western world lose itself to the almighty dollar.

exactly pip... i think we are saying the same thing differently. Poverty may mean different things to different people but to truly be considered a poor country by definition of poverty not being able to meet basic needs, it would have to have a gdp per capita of less than 1000 dollars a year so most people could not meet basic needs and it would also have to have little to no social programs to assist those who do live under the poverty line. few people actually live below the poverty line in poland (meaning make so little money they cannot afford food shelter and water) less there than in the united states and those who do can be subsidised therefore poland is considered a developed country not a poor one or undeveloped.

yes pip but western standards are standards of excess ... poland is maybe poorer in terms of economics but probably richer in culture, morals, and the existance of the family unit

UK, Ireland / Do the poles like British culture [127]

just thought it worth mentioning that James bond and the sun paper would not be top on my list

i think the op meant people who have never lived in england and are now just living there.... people who don't live in england and haven't been to england might not know much more about their culture than james bond rock concerts and pubs, although i associate good pubs more with ireland which is a distinctly different culture. So when these people originally go there are they interested in those things or in furthering their knowledge on british cutlure to a level where they realize it is not just james bond rock bands and pubs.

For example a minimum expectation would be to have toilet within your apartment

while i don't know the accuracy of what you are saying in regards to not everyone having an individual toilet... it is not a minimum requirement of basic needs. Basic needs are ones that human beings need to survive Food Shelter Water and depending where you live clothing for coverage in harsh conditions in those most basic terms even indoor plumbing is a luxury most countries do not afford so on a world view like that having to share a toilet is much better than not having one, and doesnt make you poor.

for a world view.. according to the u.n a poor country would be defined as one where most of the inhabitants live on less than 1 american dollar a day. This would be insufficient for covering ones basic needs. The poorest countries in the world are ones with a higher percentage of population living below this threshold. For the sake of knowledge these are the 20 poorest countries in the world.

1)Democratic republic of the condo
2)Liberia
3)Zimbabwe
4)Burundi
5)Eritrea
6)Central African Republic
7)Niger
8)Sierra Leone
9)Malawi
10)Togo
11)Madagascar
12)Afghanistan
13)Guinea
14)Mozambique
15)Ethiopia
16)Mali
17)Guinea-Bisseau
18)Comoros
19)Haiti
20)Uganda

the definition of poverty is not to be able to meet ones most basic needs. .... if you have a roof over your head clothes on your back and food in your belly you are not poor.

Poland is not a third world country the majority of the populations basic needs are met and those who cannot meet their own basic needs can find help to do it, poland is not poor.
