Lesser, there are hard cases in abortion. Are you denying that? If so, you are black and white. Let's keep it simple.

Life / Świat według Kiepskich is the best Polish comedy TV-Series [20]
The World according to Kiepscy, this is quite good. A very distinctive Polish flavour. With some comedies, it's hard to trace the country of origin but this one you can.

If he's from the same part of the country as the judge, then yes, it's normal ;) ;)
I've heard some clangers about judges and their screwed up decisions.

Of course you can rape a prostitute. If she didn't give her consent and you forcibly penetrated her with your penis then it's rape.

There is expected to be continued growth in some sectors, despite the downturn. I can't comment on the validity of that, I think it was a GUS source. It would appear to be implausible but who knows?

No, usually at the deli out front. I should really go to the bakery. There is one called Toporek which is not so far from where I am.

As the above 2 gentlemen said, it's about managing and not the foreigners themselves.
Nothing like reinforcing a point, this is what the media do. Bombardment!

The greenest city in Europe?? Come off it. The Polish countryside is green, cities most definitely aren't compared to where I'm from. It may well be greener than people say but it isn't the greenest, I can tell you that for a fact.

Yes, the British ones. I'd rather the bread lasted a little longer with preservatives than without. I have to toast Polish bread after 1 day or so as that's all it's good for. It's so dry otherwise.

It'd be better just to say 'different'. I don't get into this BS with ss at my schools. They try and provoke and make out that it's like a paradise here but I don't take the bait.
Good point about the bread. After 1 day, it's almost stale here. I prefer British bread as it lasts longer. I don't mind that some preservatives are in it.

To even imply the above is just absurd. The Poles are better in some ways and the Brits in others. Simple, end of story!

Oh, I agree with you, Torq. I was just prompting some arguments. Poland turned things around and improved on Balcerowicz's haphazard reforms in the early 1990's.
Poland's economic growth has been mightily impressive :)
It is hard to say but Britain is too boom and bust whereas Poland steadily maintained growth until the economic downturn. Even now, there are still promising sectors in which to exploit so well done Polska!!

saveborrowspend.co.uk/articles/news/1035-british-gdp-higher-than-american, is Poland's GDP higher than America's? Not that I judge by wealth personally but others do.
Poland's unemployment rate currently stands at 11.6% whereas Britain's is at 6.7%, due partly to many migrants losing their jobs. Can Poland say the same? If more Poles came back here, the figure in Poland would be closer to 13%.

Well, they really helped in the Battle of Britain and offered some of the best fighters out there. That doesn't give them superiority, that should give them respect :)
The Poles are practical, they use and create what they need, with the notable exception of cars. In industrial terms, the fall behind Britain, esp Scotland.
Your hospitality comment is also a little wide of the mark. The same applies in places in Scotland, Yoshi. We also treat guests like kings so there's no superiority here.
Incorrect amount of change, it happens in both Britain and here.
Your next point is superb. It was the conclusion to Neil Ascherson's book and has rung true throughout Poland's history. A few tried to sell Poland down the river but the spirit remained.
Yes, there was rampant anti-Semitism here, despite some valiant efforts to save the Jews.
The Brits have far less bar etiquette. Lager louts and idiots all over the place.

It's very relevant, Lesser. What material changes do you see in the transition from embryo to foetus?
You are a smart guy, lesser, so I'll take it to a smart level. Define sentience for me please. Animals are sentient beings, I can tell you that for a fact. I'll let you decide if the embryo is or is not based on solid criteria.
I see where you are coming from though, that we should focus on what the entity in the stomach will become and not what it is or isn't in the earliest formative stages. Still, if life is such a sought after thing, why aren't you out there promoting the creation of new babies? The world is already overpopulated as it is.
I suggest that the pro-lifers focus on the life to be rather than get embroiled in a debate before the first breath is taken.

I don't think so. I can speak for many Scots and we feel neutral towards Cypriots. You certainly wouldn't be attacked for being Cypriot amongst the majority of Scottish people.
You were just unlucky to encounter such morons.
