    Yes, porn is also disgusting but also funny, stupid. There is too much erotic in media for me. When I heard stupid jokes or comentaries about women going along the street for example, I really feel as if somebody wanted to deprive me of my freedom. Sex is one of these thing that shouldn`t be comented aloud.

    Yes, there is a problem with people communicating over the internet or by cell phone, when it would be better to meet in person. It makes sense, when they live thousands of miles apart, but many people are using cell phones to talk with someone who is a few hundred meters away. Cell phones are much worse than the internet. I don't find porn funny; it is rather disgusting to me. I suppose that internet porn makes sense, if one doesn't meet people face-to-face.

    I also find it annoying when people talk incessantly.

    For me porn is very funny. The problem is when for somebody takes it as serious. Nowasdays, many people cannot create real relationships. They talk on facebook with people with whom they could meet in real world. Other thing is that very often via internet you can say more because you don`t have do worry about the reaction.

    If is comes to words, I have always had problem with expressing my emotions, feelingg with words. I don`t think I am talkative. Sometimes it is very embarassing when you want to say something but you cannot because somebody can`t stop talking.

    "One word ie worth a thousand pictures, if you choose the word well." Most people use more words than they need, because they don't know how to use words well.

    I never have figured out why some people like porn.

    I don`t like using so many words. Neithetr I speak so much as my husband does. I think that we should look for apopriate means of comunication, not speak, speak and speak.

    All the sex scenes seem to be similar. Maybe he watched toom many porn films when he was younger or he has a serious problem with it

    No, it was not the worst, but it is down there among the worst. You would think that someone writing that many words would actually say something. I don't remember the sex scenes, but those are always forgettable, unless I am involved.

    Maybe it wasn`t the worst book. I didn`t like the sex scenes. I don`t find it adequate. Martin could have written/ planned this book much better.

    In Polinad having a russian name is considered as negative or stupid. According to my grandma, your name can have influence on your life. However, I have never liked mine.

    I can understand them being thought of as Russian, but those names are more common in Germany and Scandinavia.

    Someone has to remember those things.

    In Poland they`re considered as russian. I am impressed by your knowledge, I must say

    Olga and Igor are Germanic names, not Russian. Those and some other names were slipped into Russian because Rurik was from what is now Sweden. He was a Varangian and brought a bunch of other Varangians along when he was hired to be the military protector of Kiev. The origin of one's name isn't very important, but it is important that one like one's name.

    And if you go back a little further in time, they were all the same people. Celts, Slavs, Germans, Greeks, Armenians, Kashmiris, Persians, etc.

    I also hope that you will not be G.R.R. Martin; you should be a good writer instead. I read Game of Thrones. It was one of the worst books that I have read. There was no theme, no central conflict, no plot, no climax, and no plot resolution. It was not a novel. It was a lot of inconsequential incidents that went nowhere.

    Many people give their children russian names such as Lena, Olga or Igor. I have nothing against Russia but it seems to me a little bit stupid. I would rather choose an international name, for example Victor, David, Anna (I don`t like my name), Mary, Arthur and so on. You probably wouldn`t be able to pronounce my second name, Małgorzata. But there are more and more people giving very old names (Stanislav, Franciszek etc).

    Your sentence about the nature remind me Thoroux a little.

    I had the same problem. About few years ago I started writing something and now I am finishing it but it`s something completely different.

    I have problem with writing longer chapters but I won`t be like G.R.R. Martin Have you read "Game of the thrones"?

    I do believe in myself, but I know enough about literature to realize that a novel is not well written. The premise was excellent. The characters were generally good. The beginning is good, and the ending is good. Unfortunately, the middle bogged down indetails and routine. It started as a short story that I wrote a few years ago; that was also the beginning of the novel. but I developed the rest as a matter of the main character feeling guilty for something that he had believed was a good idea, and that he may not have been responsible for.

    Why do you think that? You should believe in yourself more
  19. PeterL's Avatar
    I already wrote a novel about doing something like that. The novel wasn't very good, but the central ideas were quite good.

    Yes, the Poles of today are very far removed in culture from the Sarmatian culture, and you probably are better off that way. Most people are different from ancient cultures, but the essentials are still the same; the basic human needs are the same and the sources for those things are still the same. The differences are in how the needs are fulfilled and how people express their feelings and thoughts. And there would still be followers of all of the Proto-Indo-European Gods and Goddesses from the major one like Djeus Pater to one who are largely forgotten like the wonderful Ekwamedha.

    Even if you don't interact with unaltered nature, it is still there, and it is still essential to the world as a whole. Our food still comes from the Earth even if we don't grow it ourselves.
