Life / Differences between Irish, British, Polish, American and other nations culture, tradition, music - loose talk [239]


Well at least it's the case at the campus I attend.

Hillary Clinton would be better suited to bring up since she actually was involved with trying to cover up her husbands rapes and sexual assaults.


and College/University campuses are vastly filled with liberal students


It seems more like trolling to be honest. On a university campus you will find "no means no" posters around, it just seems like "they" think I am an idiot, "they" being whoever is placing those things everywhere.


Probably

It is important to acknowledge that it is by no means a majority of men at University and College campuses that display such behavior. There was no need to bring Trump into this and it is insulting that you would assume that people who back Trump behave in such manners, overwhelming majority do not.

I currently attend University, have done so for several years, and I have never come across such behavior. Tell me Paulina have you been to an American college campus?


It would seem to be a pervasive myth at best, tell me, do Police really hand out leaflets on how to rape and get away with it? If so how come I never got one?

Paulina I advise you to visit a University campus, you will see things are normal here, students are concerned with studying and keeping up with the workload.

The few that do rape or sexually assault someone should be punished accordingly, this I agree. But the media,I'd say even Liberal media in this case, blows things out of proportion.

Wouldn't you say that's a good reason not to hire someone? if someone can't even get along with her husband without using violence, how would they get along with other co-workers. Perhaps you mean brute strength is the qualification for the job? Well we don't know how tough that husband was or if he fought back or not, it is easy to beat someone up if they don't fight back.


I never heard of a woman working in the sewers either, I suppose that is a problem? Though I seen a few garbage(wo)man

Well if your point is that third wave feminism has strayed a long way from women's rights, then yes that is true. I do not believe that certain women do not want to be associated with the term, but believe in self respected and achievement. In my view a women who believes in respect for oneself and others and works to achieve their goals is a women :) and that's that. Times have changed and it's pretty much the norm that women work along with men, it's silly to give them a label these days.

Just from my personal experience, women that I have come across who never used the term feminist to associate themselves with were by far more independent, intelligent, educated, respectful and hard working then women who actually labeled themselves feminists. These days Feminists seemed to be associated with cat ladies, disgruntled youth, and social justice warriors.

Ah, Englishman, you have to keep up with third wave feminism then you will understand.

News / "A merciful heart can share its bread with the hungry and welcome refugees and migrants" Pope Francis [89]


Nah, we don't owe them anything, they have to do it. Foreign intervention is what helped cause this mess, wrecking stable countries such as Libya and Syria was a huge mistake. It would also be a mistake electing the woman who helped make that happen, so if I could, I'd also be voting Trump. We have to protect our borders, our way of life depends on it. Syrians and other refugees have to go back and make their countries better, they have to defeat the Islamist if they are the so called moderates, not come to Europe and kill innocent people... They have to invest in their own technologies by putting in the effort to educate themselves and build an economy, not depend on others to do it for them. They have to realize as a nation that if they are to prevent poverty and if they want high living standards, they can not over populate the land.


And those lands will never improve if they keep on abandoning it, while they also put a strain on available resources in Europe. They have to adapt to their lands and the changing environment that's what we call adaptation, Europe does not owe them anything in this respect.

I do believe that we must take care of those closest to us, that if we thrive others nations might attempt to emulate our model.


No, just that Europeans need to insure their own survival as first priority


Israel can do it, they are much closer and a model nation for the middle east.


Trump is a vote for those who are frustrated.


Now you have a nation, Israel, so it will not happen again. These migrants on the other hand already have a nation, they abandoned it instead of putting in the effort to improve it. How much work do you think went into Israel to get it into the state that it is now? it took a lot of dedication and commitment.

The sweat and blood of our ancestors is what made Europe what it is

Those that shall not work, shall not eat. A christian principle if I am not wrong

News / "A merciful heart can share its bread with the hungry and welcome refugees and migrants" Pope Francis [89]


First you have to get that war managed, and stop the supply of weapons to the Islamist. Second is to invest in technologies that would help supply water and food such as building reverse osmosis desalinization plants, Third is educating the public about population control and the dangers of overpopulation. Having a small highly educated and advanced population where resources are plenty is an ideal environment to eradicate poverty. This of course can only happen if the population cooperates, and with all those jihadists around I don't think it is very likely

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [161]


Where I live, there are very few if any British people

UK, Ireland / English/British rudeness - what do Polish people think about it? [161]

No it's not an British thing, where I live (lots of third world immigration here) many people do this, women with their purses but of course there are exceptions. Not a problem when the bus is empty, but some people take the inward seat rather then the one next to the window (they place their bag/purse there), and honestly they don't care if the bus is full.

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]

Yes, well you have a typical Russian nose and eye shape. This is not a clear indication of Russian ancestry as having ancestry from Ruthenia and perhaps even Belorussian can result in those traits, however I don't see much other particularly Russian features.

He does not need to answer, think of it like this, if you were to be asked "how old are you and how many men have you really known?" not very suitable conversation on this forum, would you think? All you can do is make assumptions, and no doubt you will think you are somewhat more enlightened.

Apparently it runs on heating compressed CO2 called dry ice, with the help of solar panels to heat the dry ice back to its gaseous state, it spins the turbine more efficiently then steam based systems. This does look promising

History / Sarmatism in Poland [119]


I suppose I talk about linguistic groups, they all speak a variant of Persian whether that be Farsi, Dari, Kurdish etc.
I think of it like comparing Polish to Russian, both are Slavic but both are different. The Afghans I knew considered themselves Persians

I suppose you can be Persian without being Iranian


But they are both Slavic


Yeah I agree with that, that's why Roma gypsies have high concentration of R1a1

History / Sarmatism in Poland [119]

Persians/Persia includes Afghans and Baluchi/Pushtu people in Pakistan which is where the concentration of R1a lies, as it is not very common amongst Iranians

Also Kurds are Persians, but they do not share much R1a like Iranians

Its sort of like comparing Slavic with Polish

History / Sarmatism in Poland [119]


Actually R1a is not that common in Iran, however it has a significant presence in Afghanistan. R1a did originate in Persia, however not in Iran

Haha :-) yep sounds like me, my family history traces back to Wolyn, I don't consider myself Ukrainian

History / Poland must get back Lwow, Wilno and Brest back [318]

I'd say it is considering the large percentage of Polish people that still live in that area. Tensions can be high in that area, both Lithuanians and Belorussians are sensitive on the topic

History / Poles should emulate Jews? [153]


Well yes such situations don't permit people to go on developing ways to better humanity, they have other things to worry about, but the question is why certain areas develop into such hell holes, is it cultural or economical? maybe a bit of both. what determines the cultural and economic success of an area? should be its resources and technology (we can say this is the environment), now what determines how people put to use these resources and technology? maybe intelligence, that being knowledge one has inherited from past generations... Now is this intelligence due to internal (genetics) or external (exposure to knowledge throughout life) factors? well it is a bit of both, one who is never exposed to such knowledge can not possible know certain things, while one who is exposed but does not have the capacity to comprehend could not possibly learn... In this way intelligence is heritable depending on both genetic and environmental factors, which I would say, internal and external factors acting together.


Yes


I'd say equally important, probably a unique case for every person.

I don't think we are all cookie cutters Barney, it's not that simple, but I can partially agree. Nothing is out of the question for science, but

are there ethical issues, probably yes.


Can you explain in what context, as an ethnicity? in terms of material wealth, knowledge, population numbers? etc. Or did you want a list depicting all factors, which I can say would require intensive research.

History / Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]

TheOther, you contradict yourself all the time, I thought you don't believe in ethnicity. Well anyway.. nobody is saying that "Poles are by no means responsible for anything that happened during communist times".

"What does ethnicity and/or faith have to do with someone's political affiliation?" Should be not much... but even in US today, who mostly votes for republican? faith does have an impact, and I'd even say ethnicity as such as you like to deny it or not. these are probabilities, not fixed boundaries. Now I wont go as far as saying Jews are genetically communist, but to deny the above certainly is not true. "a bloody communist, inflicting terror on his country" now... who said communists have to be bloody and inflict terror.

You brought that up, in which I say to hell with it. Now you can change your religious affiliations like it or not, but not your ethnicity, in other words your genetics.

Life / Are Poles mentally more Eastern European or Western European? [170]


You know, you are right. For some reason it's instilled in our heads that you have to be like the west, because the west is better. But really it's arbitrary. A really smart post you made, I agree with it.


Crow, I see, you see Slavs as the occident instead of "the west" or a separate entity that can function and support itself. Poland is the core of Europe, this no doubt I agree with.


.
I feel this thread is set up with the idea that being eastern European is more backward and less civilized compared to western European. This is not what I believe to be true

It's hard to decipher your cryptic writing at times crow, only if you could express yourself to a greater audience my friend. You have a hidden intelligence most people here just don't see.

USA, Canada / 15 hr. motion on a minimum wage. (USA) [24]


This is very true, Internet is available at your local library if you need it, cabel T.V is a waste of time, Phones should be for calling/texting, Cigarettes are good for cancer, beer should only be after a hard days work or on the weekend, weed is illegal, buying weed is funding criminal gang activity that puts people at risk.

To be honest out of all that, the only thing I need is a standard phone so I can contact clients and family, no smart phone. But again I am a student and not sitting on welfare.

Maybe not everyone can finish university, but college (in the Canadian sense) is very much doable. Or at least do a trade, easily over 15$ an hour and much better then fast food/retail etc.
