Love / Unmarried couples in Poland = pathology [310]


A grass-roots discussion such as this is nothing but 'ordinary people sharing ideas and expressing their opinion which may or may not influence someone. What about the professional brain-washers -- the advertising and entertaiment industries, media. lobbyists, and propagandists, inluding the 'poltiically correct' establishment, who are shoving their view of the world and of what is right and wrong down other people's throats. And in many cases they do it through subtle social engineering, and subliminal psychological ploys cleverly used to glamourise cheap, tacky popcultrure, degeneracy and unscrupulous, publciity-seeking celebs. The number of PF-ers who seem to buy into what they're peddling only shows how succssful they have been.

Not physically, but you can stand on principle and refuse to sign. Then only she is the perjurer, reneger, liar and faithless home-wrecker.
Incidentally, ethical principles are never outdated. Even though the laws of the Third Reich said it was OK to kill and torment Jews, that didn't make it right. And the inception of quick and convenient online, no-fault divorces does not make oath-breaking any more good, ethical or commendable.

To those who do not beleive in sacraments marriage is still a legally-binding civil contract. Divorce means reneging on the marriage oath and breahing the contract so the divorcee is still a liar and perjurer. It is a filmnsy excuse that the other side initiated the divroce proceedings. I don't belłieve the law of any country can force someone to get a divorce agaisnt his/her will.

Matrimony is more than a piece of paper, it is a holy sacrament. Anyone who divorces is a faithless, disloyal, irresponsible liar and perjurer. Amen.

Genealogy / Polish relatives of the name Kocinski [10]

Admitteldy kocina in the meaning of cat meat is extremely rare, (usually it is empathetic: poor, pitiful, little kitty), but it may have occurred as in the sentence: Rozbitkowie odżywiali się psiną, kociną i czym się dało (The castaways ate dogs, cats and whatever else they could find.)

Genealogy / Wozniak / Tometchak - Were my grandparents Jewish? [5]

No-one can say solely on the basis of that information. Jews were known to take on on the names of the countries in which they lived. The two you listed are perfectly good Polish names.

WO-NIAK: patronymic tag for the son of the woźny (court crier) or woźnica (carter).

TOMCZAK: patronymic tag for the son of Tomasz (Thomson).

Those who don't believe in 'higher things', must therefore believe in 'lower things'. But how low can you get? Is homo sapiens no different from the dog that eats, drinks, excretes and sniffs about for the nearest ******* in heat? Some people act as if they do. Some people seem to have their brains between theri legs.

Proof is all about us. Take a classroom 30, 20, even 10 years ago -- there has been a steady increase in the percentage of youngsters from dysfunctional homes srtciken by divorce, signle parents, new daddies, live-in boyfriends or that increasignly 'popular' but often unhealthy family arrangement comprising his kids, her kids and our kids. Not to mention custody battles and even abductions when the judge rules the 'wrong' way. And why? All because people are increasignly selfish and obsessed only with their own pleasure and convenience. You must live a sheltered or horseblinkeredd life if you don't see all this.

Food / Polish recipe for booyah [26]

I have never sampled booyah. Is it a strictly Wisconsin boonies kind of thing?

Love / Unmarried couples in Poland = pathology [310]

Yes and to one woman. Are you?

Love / Unmarried couples in Poland = pathology [310]

Never forget that only dead fish and sewage go with the flow, because neither have a functioning brain...
It is true that shop-lifting, cheating on spouses, out-of-wedlock bastards and broken families have always existed...on the margins of society. Nowadays people are trying to normatise them, using freedom and private-morality slogans. Standards of interpersonal behaviour are therefore constantly dropping, and moral anarchy is replacing majority ethical consensus.

Some on this thread have gone off on tangents not intended. In hardly any situation is something ALWAYs or NEVER the case. You could probably find a loving bixesual threesome raising a healthy, happy kids, but that should not lead to the conclusion that this is a good or preferable arrangement to normal sacramental marriage between a man and a woman.

My point was not that married couples NEVER create pathological situations nor that unmarried arrangeemtns ALWAYS do. The point was that informal arrangements tend to cause more dysfunctional situaitons in terms of:

STABILITY, CHILD-REARING, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ABUSE OF GIRLFIRENM'S CHILDREN, DURATION OF FAMILY UNIT and LONGTERM IMPLICATIONS.

Genealogy / I'm half Polish American, but I'm very Patriotic about my ancestry [47]

It is not unusual for those that persistently knock people who appreciate and activley cultivate their ethno-religious heritage to secretly envy them. All too often the detractors come from broken homes devoid of any real traditons, are at loggerheads with their families and are gauled at the thought of those who come from big,tight-knit, loving families that gather for Chrsitmas, Easter, engagement parties, weddings, christenings, First Holy Communions, anniversaries, graduations, funeral banquets, etc. No pub crawl with drinking mates can match that sense of togetherness, belonging and fellowship!

Genealogy / Polska - Czahoroski [9]

CZACHOROWSKI: topo nick from Czachory or Czachorów; root-word probably now obsolete czahar/czahor (dwarf tree, scrub vegetation, mixed thicket).

UK, Ireland / English dad, Polish mum are parting. What about the child? [27]

I suggest you check with a good immigration lawyer. My imrpession is that in such cases the child cannot be takne out of the country without the consent of both parents.

This is a highly subjective area. Attitudes towards one's ethnic roots in America range from total indiffernce (who cares about all that quaint Old Country stuff?!) to the strong patriotic attachment you apparently feel. Those are the extremes and there are countless intermediate shadings in between.

Genealogy / Searching for a village in Southern Poland (Baddi?) [11]

There are 2 localities in Poland called Bajdy, one is in the SUb-Carpathian region not too far from the Slovak border:

Bajdy - wieś w woj. podkarpackim, w pow. krośnieńskim, w gminie Wojaszówka
Bajdy - wieś w woj. warmińsko-mazurskim, w pow. iławskim, w gminie Zalewo.

Considering the Austro-Hungarian-Slovak-Polish lingustic confusion and the widespread illiteracy of East-Central Europe in the 19th and on into the 20th century, could it not jave been Bajdy?

Genealogy / Searching for a village in Southern Poland (Baddi?) [11]

Could Baddi have been the Hungarian version of Baden (Baths), a term frequently used in the German-speaking world for medicinal mineral springs. A well.known exmaple is Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary in Czech) in the Czech Republic.

Przypomina mi stary dowcip o tym jak ponoć w Moswie NA Placu Czerwonym rozdają ludziom za darmo samochody. Z tym że, nie w Moskie no w Leningradie, nie na Krasnoj Płoszczadi no na Newskom Prospekcie, nie awtomobile no lisopiedy, i nie dajut no woriat (excuse my Russian).
