British jam is very good indeed but Polish jam is great too.
£owicz is a top quality jam, very good on Polish bread.
Looks like we agree on sth Pawian

Life / Importance of Religion in Poland [187]
Good posting lesser. To know why you have opted for sth. Catholic values are sensibly motivated from what I've read but occupy too strong a position at times. They don't fully appreciate the complicated nature of things, instead they advocate a basic position.
Unfortunately, those smarter ones you allude to lesser often can't convince the sillier ones to broaden their thinking and see the bigger picture.
Society has been shaped by a maelstrom (is this Swedish? lol) of factors. Such a plethora like law, politics, social conditioning and just experience have a major influence on 'moving forward'

Maybe your answers lack thoroughness or convincing qualities.
No, I'm not attacking your right to pursue your faith at all, that wasn't it.
How did you know? My remarkable consistency ;)
Lost the way? I prefer to think of it 'I saw his way' and sought to find my own away from church.
A little self-appraisal never hurt anyone. Amazing, why thanks :)

Exactly Switezianka, exactly!! Hence the term 'devout' Catholic. There are screeds of literature on the net about Catholic values.
For a Catholic, for Catholicism and for Catholic education, values are our core business. This was taken from ad2000.com.au/articles/1999/sep1999p10_307.html
Let's see some Pawian. I'll spare you a deep discussion of the history of Catholicism. Values please

Absolute nonsense. You have faith in God, so why not be a Protestant or some other Christian denomination?
Yes, I do ask people why they are as they are. It's called discussion, you might try it sometime. Without some reason, it's pure pie-in-the-sky guff.
Religion has caused so much suffering in this world. Stop being blind to this. For what? For something intangible and unproven? Hence my allusion to negativity.
I asked you about church. I went to church for years if you must know.
Pawian, don't take it personally, MANY others have been unable to stand up to scrutiny or say why they are Catholics. For me, they'd be as well be describing any Christian denomination.
What does your heart have to do with the Bible? I have great heart on many matters without reading a book.
Is that clear?

UK, Ireland / What do you hate about England and English people? [142]
Och, you beat me to it, Mister H. Point 8 above I mean.
As a Scot, I really don't hate anything in particular about the English as I have friends from there.
If I were to be put on the spot though, I'd say that it produces a lot of smug people who look down their noses at others. Hardly an English phenomenon or readily observable trait but, perhaps, more so than most others. I could be wrong.

You have faith in something you can't define? We generally have faith in our abilities, in others, in our judgement etc etc.
What is the Catholic faith, Greg? Do you believe in open air?
And you are gonna tell me that the world may have a religious war in the future over something which is as abstract as you paint it. Come off it.
This really teases out the negative side of humanity. When you go to church, what do you feel Greg or pawian?
Switezianka is right, many here don't have a clue, they just latch on to what they believe they should believe, without believing in that belief, LOL

Exactly plk123, exactly. I couldn't have put it better. The realities of life, for some, may drive people to the church. I refuse to believe that people go to the church for a set of rules on various issues per se. It's more for a feeling of support and that God is with them. Why not I say? It's positive :)

Ask a Pole why they are Catholic, and not only Poles, and they will tell you that it's because they should be. No attempt at all at explaining what that means. Quite embarrassing really!!
As good Poles will tell you, the practising level here is very low.

Now that I've seen it, I stand by my decision. I've always learned that the Brits wrote 'practising' and Americans 'practicing' and that it's the verb that takes the 's'. I'm British so I wrote practising.
I also thought we used capital letters, e.g I'm Scottish, I learned that in primary school. Not "i'm english".
What gamble? Needs must!! Ferocious, yes, that doesn't mean that they tipped the balance. This would need a fuller discussion, byronic.

Well, that was somewhat of an exaggeration byronic, to be fair. Read above and you will see that I applaud the Polish effort and they were significant in the British RAF. Let's start from that premise, that the Poles did well.
However, tipping the balance? LOL Were you practising your conditionals? ;)

People who suffer from depression often have "mental instability". Maybe Stalin had diminished capability but that's not schizophrenia. Paranoia is not a synonym of schizophrenia.
Dangerous people definitely don't need to be schizophrenics. In fact, they are often VERY aware of what they are doing. Schizophrenics are not. That was a terrible argument Filios, like a misinformed layman.
