In North America it is a generic term for a sausage roughly similar to Podwawelska in Poland.
Basic ingredients are: chopped and minced pork butts, garlic, salt and pepper; it is sometiems seasoned with a sprinkl eof marjoram and a bit of minced veal or beef is occasionally added.

But in Poland there are numerous varieties: śląska, krakowska, toruńska, etc. In large Polonian centres in the US and Canada the very same varieties are4offered, but in mainstream America in the big chain supermarkets, sausage labelled as'Polish sausgae' or *Polska Kiełbasa' (sometimes wtih a white eagle thereon) is, like I said, close to Podwawelska in taste and texture.

Because of its low price Poles are eating much more chicken these days -- a white meat. BTW do you regard pork as a whtie or red meat? Pork producers in the US have for years tried to convince folks that it's defintiely a white meat. Beef is the only readily available red meat in Poland and it is pretty poor -- oftne tough as shoe leatherand none-too-flavourful. One gets the imptression that the beef on thePolish market comes from cows that were butchered after they stopped giving milk.

That's only because the Programisty has things asrse-backwards. Ever since Polish keyboards were first used in the early 20th century, invented, the Z has always been in the second row and the Y in the extreme lower-left corner. Same with the keyboards used at present in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Rep., Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Hungary and a few other countries.

QWERTY is great if you prefer to type out 25 degrees instead of 25°, and enjoy double-typing to get ę ą ł ź ż ń ś ć ó.

Language / Polish keyboard 214 is best [34]

All depends on the typing tasks. If someone's texts are regulalry peppered with Polish, English, German and French, then using the US QWERTY can be a real pain. For Polish it's OK if the user doesn't mind double-typing for Polish accented letters and doing without the low initial inversted commas requried by Polish punctuation. Also having the degree mark °, the German ß and other symbols right on the keyboard (rather than having to dig them out of the toolbar's insert function) is a real boon.

But no-one who has not made a hands-on comparison over a period of time is qualified to say which is superior. I have and would never use the Polski Programisty is I could help it.

Every keyboard layout has to be learnt in order to touch-type anywhere in the world. The point is that even small countries such as Hungary and Denmark have their own national keyboards and, unlike Poles, do not feel they have to use an American copycat keyboard.

In other words, where you come from Jewish lawbreakers, embezzlers and child prnographers are able to evade criticism by hiding behind the odium associated with the anti-Semitic label. Is criticising the brutal, inhumane treatment of Palestinians by Israel also regarded as anti-Semitism 'where you come from'? If that's such a wonderful place, maybe it's time to go back,

Yes, like the fact that there are idiots (or simply pretend to be) that constantly harp on PiS teaming up with Samoobrona, whilst conveniently overlooking the incongruity of a liberal, urban-based, pro-business party like PO forming a coalition with a socially conservative, populist, pro-rural Poland B party like PSL. Never a peep or a squeak about that has been heard. Strange, eh?

Because any criticism of a Jew for anything (crime, embezzlement, wife-beating, etc.) and the policy of the State Israel has been known to be labelled 'anti-Semitic' by defenders, lawyers, activists, PR specialists, ADF fucnionaries, etc. Don't ask for links becuase you won't get one. Just stop being the ostrich and open your eyes and ears for a change.

Sinners are not people who think differently but who sin. The principles of Catholic teaching are clear. Nobody has to accept them. But if they don't, then they're Catholics in name only.

Why this concerns you so much is a mystery. You're not a Catholic so why are you constantly on about Catholicism.
It poses no threat to you or anyone else. On the other hand, the decadent 'anything-goes' permissivist revolutuion you so hotly promote affects everyone by undermining the family and leading to society's disintegration.

Over the course of history, decadence has always led to decay, decline and ultimate collapse. And that is an objective, empirically verifiable fact!

Got a quote from the incriminated poster saying condoms are ineffective. As you know, research has shown they are not 100% effective. They are banned by the Church, and you can accept or reject that but don't put words in other people's mouths. There is a huge difference between saying something is ineffective and that it is not 100% effective. In your lingo: Ineffectief and niet 100% effectief!

Indeed, all of history's best-known monsters invoked the future and claimed what they were doing was 'bold', 'dynamic', 'forward-looking' and even 'progressive'. Adolf had promised a '1,000-year Reich', whilst Stalin called Soviet-style communism 'the wave of the future'. It lasted some 7 decades. Hitler's fiasco luckily ended in 12 years. How much longer will the permissive revolution endure and how many victims will it take with it before collapsing is something nobody knows at present!
