Love / How to survive a relationship in Poland? [42]

And ploughing fields was so easy back then too and now we use all of this machinery, where's the fun in that? :) I know where you are coming from, but its call progress and just same as anathetic is used these days when taking out teeth or cutting of limbs :) Also you may like to look at the mortality rates back then when these little treasures came along.

I see what you mean and I am all for moving forward with our knowledge. But there are lots of things which are not progress. We use machinery and it made happy many hard-working people in the fields, but at the same time we use chemicals which make our food inedible piece of crap that even intelligent worms are not crazy to munch on. Hence different liver and kidney diseases. Women turned bulemic just because we have a taste for bones, which leads to necessity of anesthetics and other drugs with C-section. True, mortality has been higher, because of non-sanitary conditions of birth, lack of proper medicine and contraceptives, possibly frequent unavailability of parents who had to gain the bread, poor diet etc. But we as a species are becoming weaker immulogically and adaptively as our brain progresses, whether it is forward or backward, is quite arguable.

Seriously, the hospital stuff almost made me feel guilty for not wanting it.

That is a crime. Oftentimes, we are left without reasonable choices just to satisfy the trend of the day. I recently read that cucumbers make people more prone to cancer. How sick do we have yet to get with these research jokes?

1. The stereotype is that mothers have hard time letting go of their sons. They want to have part in the marriage. Wives want their husbands to themselves. But that's not my case.

It is not only sons, but daughters too. Men are usually bastards to her little beautiful princes. My question was why is this pathology more frequently observed in mothers, not in fathers, who rarely have problems with their sons/daughters-in-law? Is this a women "thing"?

her hairy ball-sack being kneaded up and down your abs..?

I agree with Amethyst - what is wrong with your anatomy? I tried to imagine the position and actually looked it up in my Kama Sutra book. It is called 4th phase of the Turning position, not missionary. But again the sack has to be a basketball basket to reach my abs :) But again how my Princess will have balls and vagina at the same time? ;)

to be honest it seems that you are a lowself estem freak.

you are so weak that you began to hallucinate at the point of your low selfesteam.

Maybe, I reached the rock bottom.

TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!

Is it in the as*?

Haha! No deal.

It is hard when you put your heart in it already, before you realized what you are.

You mean, why are they bugging their husbands to help out with the kids and housework?
I honestly have no idea what are you fighting for on this thread.

I don't fight. I just posted a few questions which I am trying to solve:
1.) mother-in-law---daughter/son-in-law conflicts - why is there a female bias?
2.) why female's family is always better (IQly, spiritually, whateverly)?
3.) why preservation of marriages often turn out to be a fight between being oneself and doormat, not a dialogue of 2 people, achieving a compromise?

too bad you aren't a fly on the wall in my house. There are no inadequacies with me nor my two girls.

You know as I read it again I see why you feel this way. I wasn't doubting or talking about women's intelligence or ability to do any type of work. "Success" was meant to denote the creation of hell at home, which gives a feeling of control and power which is impermissible in other extradomicile social interactions.

Im chilled as hell... no demands no stress nice equal partnership

That's so rare and precious. My respect and best wishes :)

Thank you for inventing the epidural :)

You are welcome :) We try our best ;)

Great, an injection that turns you a piece of numb meat and fecks your back up for the next twenty years...thanks guys..:)))

So, why take it??? I think the women became too feminine in the recent years. The propaganda of skinny dystrophics as a symbol of a beautiful woman made the epidural indispensible. Kids used to fall out like apples in the Middle Ages, now we need 6 people to pull out a single treasure.

P.S. Sorry for double post - some tech malfunction.

Nathan, you mention "doormat" far too much sweetie, try and be more assertive and avoid women who are over-controlling - find a nice chilled out lady who has a similar outlook who has a mind of her own and doesnt look to her family for advice for everything she does....

Ok, it turned out now to trying to convince me personally, which is not the case. I am not talking about myself. Again, most of what I said is from observing close to me people. And if it was a single case, I would say: it is rare. But it is not. It is a behavioral feature that is prevailing in many women and I agree with Zimmy in that regard. Just being curious to understand, I would like to ask you, ladies: is it predominantly hormonal, psychological, environmental? Do some women search to assure themselves while feeling inadequate and failing to do it anywhere else, make their "success" especially pronounced at home? Does child-bearing justify women's pseudo-weakness which is often used in completely unrelated issues to the disadvantage of men? Yes, there is a child-birth pain - that's why men invented epidural. But is this pain so bad to blackmail the whole world constantly, before and after?

she's not the one and only Nathan.

That's true. There are quite a few billions ;)

If men could have babies, there would be zero percent population growth. Just ask Zimmy...

But a 0% of happy population growth. It is worth it :)

Love / How to survive a relationship in Poland? [42]

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for support, but I am not in a relationship, at least as of today. Just some experience and observations. It was very interesting, though, that female posters concentrated on the relatives part while man's doormat status escaped their attention so naturally ;)

Did you try to talk to your partner and explain, how you feel?

Do women talk to doormats? Usually they like them, need them to wipe off their feet, but not hear. Oh, no. Man's every word is the word of his mother, because only his partner can have a valid opinion and his opinion could not possibly come from his brain - no way - it's always the in-law's idea.

Are there ever problems with male in-laws on either side? Nope. Only where there are two women: older and younger and both stupid, which is usually the case, which makes the life of the two families miserable.

never get it started to begin with? ;-)

It is tough. If some men had vaginas and could bear a kid, I wouldn't even think twice, but, unfortunately this is not the case :(

seems to be the obvious option.

Hang oneself? Become a gay? It is not so obvious.

News / Military power (Poland #21 in the world) [97]

It can't, more than a milion people would lose their jobs, thats enough to collapse ukrainian society given that the army is one of the few things that holds Ukraine together.

When have you seen the last time tanks on Ukrainian streets, historian? In Lviv it was in 1944 :) Army doesn't hold our society.
Regarding the jobs: when people are doing nothing, producing nothing and getting money, how worse can it be to have them work for a bit more, but producing something?

Ukraine for example has almost twice the tanks Poland has but only 300-500 of them are capable of even driving from point A to point B

If B is Poland, all of them will get there, no worries ;)

How one makes one's sub-relatives worthy to sit at the feet of your partner's super-intelligent, kind and better family? How make the things work when your part of the deal is to be a doormat and keep your mouth always shut? How to be yourself with the chain at your neck ending at your partner's ankle, partner whom you love? What Poles or others do?

I don't know how reliable that data is. For Ukraine they put 1 million active reserve and Poland has 20,000. Either we are crazy or our military reserves are far overblown. Anyhow, I don't know much about military stuff.

Language / Unique names of cities/town/villages in Poland [58]

another humourless bugger

Just evoking some action to the thread. You see, after my comment it became more informative and interesting :)

cri' sake mate,every bloody place name on the planet has its meaning you plum

For the nth time:

the names of the places with some obvious unique meaning

That was my intention - OBVIOUS (is Thorpe or caster - OBVIOUS even for English-speakers?), but I am happy the thread grew into digging for the places etymological background when the current names don't sound like meaning anything, you cactus.

Language / Unique names of cities/town/villages in Poland [58]

Where was this information in your post below?

Wawa (Ontario, Canada) and Walla Walla (State of Washingtonm, USA)

As you can see in my original post all the names are explained as to what they mean. How is one supposed to know the meaning if you just post the name in Native American language providing no explanation?

Language / Unique names of cities/town/villages in Poland [58]

I haven't thought that a thread can be spoiled by a few five-year olds. The title clearly says

the places with some obvious unique meaning

Does Wawa, Brodno (doesn't mean "dirty", maybe "brudno" does), Napanee have an obvious meaning? Are the gray cells such a rarity nowadays that we have to dig **** in Austria which for Austrians has no corresponding meaning? Or Polish Puck is not a hockey puck and as far as I am aware has no obvious, direct meaning in Polish.

So, if a penis is taken out of imagination the thread will end up without posts? Do you dream of d*icks whenever geography or other subjects come to mind? The most amazing is the guys are the ones with c*ck-obsessions.

Language / Unique names of cities/town/villages in Poland [58]

I enjoy spotting the names of the places with some obvious unique meaning:

Zielona Góra (Poland) - "Green Mountain", Przylep - "Sticker"
Moose Jaw (Canada)
Salzburg (Austria) - "Salt Castle"
Kryvyj Rih (Ukraine) - "Crooked Horn", Zymna Woda - "Cold Water"
Moulins (France) - "Mills"
Piedras Negras (Mexico) - "Black Stones"

Do you know of others? At the end we will organize the voting for 3 the most unique.

Work / How to get a Poland visa for my Ukrainian wife? [12]

Are you saying that there's no way for her to come with me until I get my residency card?

What about a general tourist visa for 90 days and then the status may be updated to the more appropriate one when you get the job?

History / What exactly is Galicia? [4]

Galicia is a region in the Eastern Europe which is subdivided into Western and Eastern Galicia. The former was/is populated predominantly by Poles and the latter was/is predominantly populated by Ukrainians. The Galicia in general has the Lemko people who are autochtone to the region; many of them forcefully deported by Polish commies in 1947. It doesn't necessarily means your ancestor was Polish. I think you have to dig deeper and find out more about the religion professed by Stanislaw, his family background, village etc.

History / Sabaton 40-1. Poland WW2 (updated with: Uprising) [39]

No surprise, even if it is true. According to the Versaille which was discarded in 1935 (if I recall correctly) there were not many choices to practice militarily with. I saw a movie from 1934 where the show-training was mostly made up of cavalry and car-racing. And subsequently 4 years or so is not sufficient time to completely restructure the army. But it seems that as soon as the tanks presented all their capabilities, horses (thanks God) became absolete on the battlefield.

Because it's a unique ecosystem

I see. Absolutely, it should be preserved.

Probably they learned there is oil underneath.

And the trees will suck it up. But then you can cut up the trees, soak them and extract the oil. Would it be much easier than drilling a hole? ;)

When I see polish camels in the desert I will start drinking Kwas.

You always boast of seeing Polish cameltoes, so what keeps you from drinking kwas? ;)

Off-Topic / Countries and your associations in 5 words/descriptions. [56]

The only true desert in Europe, near Będzin and caused by excessive tree-felling centuries ago. It looks like a desert too, though it's slowly starting to undesertify (is that a word?) and the government are considering steps to preserve it.
It's probably not worth a special visit, but the main road goes quite near, and it's interesting to see.

Thats why the German Afrika korps D.A.K , did their training there before being shipped to the north African desert...

That's really interesting! But why the government is interested in keeping the desert? For those military purposes or there are some unique fauna populates the area?

I am planning my next big trip after I finish a big project, I am really looking forward to going :)

All the best, SeanBM. I have to start drawing my bucketlist as well: so much to see and the life is indeed so short.

desert

In Poland? I didn't know that. I saw the Baltic dunes, which look a bit desert-like.

It was a stupid rule, SeanBM. It is interesting to read your more expanded observations. Have you seen all those countries or it is just what you think they are like?

History / Polabia back to Slavs? [113]

Soviet Union as a matter of fact

Not Soviet Union per se, but Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Even though it was not a "union", but a de facto occupation, the territory of Lviv and surroundings belonged to Ukrainian SSR and now to Ukraine. You seem not to know the facts, Irony ;)

the Republic of Ukraine-:))

The country is called Ukraine, not the Republic of Ukraine. The form of the government though is a republic. Just a mild correction :)
