government? why the gov? it's up to an individual to make themselves worth more and be a better providers, no?
yeah but they are christian.. so what that many fathers are cheaters and drunk beaters.. as long as they are straight and a "family" all will be fine according to P3.
yeah, whatever.. boo.
if YOU have a problem with it, then say something.. don't sit back and expect others to do something while you only bltch and moan.
what? that makes about as much sense as the rest of your posts.. USA is at war now, in fact 2 of them... are the moral standards any better?? yeah right..
Secondly, why doesn't the government provide more child care, or lets people earn more money, so they can provide better homes for their children, or don't have to work so many hours so there are never at home to be with their children.

Many families are disfunctional in the US, but you seem to miss the complex reasons.

Today you can wear anything you want to Mass and nothing is said to you. Want to wear shorts and flip-flops on your feet? No problem.
if YOU have a problem with it, then say something.. don't sit back and expect others to do something while you only bltch and moan.
Thus, it seems that when the American public is concerned about war or the threat of enemy attack, they tend to be more vigilant and keep there moral standards high.

just because these were unheard of surely does not mean those things didn't happen.. as a matter of fact they did but were swept under the carpet in order to keep believing in those "golden days"..

what kind of problems? in france, many towns give gypsies land for their "campgrounds" just outside towns and villages.. that way they don't have to squat just wherever.. i think that's pretty cool.
you do know they are called "the travelers" here, right? the india thing is their ancestral "home" from way, way back..
no, that is not true.. like i said above.. "travelers" but yes, they aren
't honest.. most "do" construction.. watch out..
not at all.. India

Umm, seriously. Most of our gypsies over here aren't from India. More like domestic hippies. Ask most Americans what they think a gypsy is and they'll give you a description similar to the one I gave here.

They sound just like our gypsies! Only ours aren't Indian. Maybe our druggie hippie losers are just imitating the real kind...

They are called gypsies because by a theory they came from Egypt.
not at all.. India
but it was a myth , it seems their origin was in India , not Egypt..

Well, Canada ain't quite America on so many levels, but we recently changed our visitor visa policy because lot of "Czech" folks were claiming refugee status...

Yes and looking at now is quite upsetting, ...............It made me feel quite sick to think of how many people died there.

Why would Nazis want to maintain accurate records of their 'prizes', M-G?

Isnt it about time we all moved on and remember that when we keep saying "Germans" these are the Germans of yesteryears and not the ones we share a union with now.

History / Why did the reformation not have a huge effect on Poland? [28]
no, that is not right at al..
the above are the right answers.. besides the consequences of the swedish deluge the counter reformation was strong in PL and from what i read, mainly because of heavy Jesuit involvement.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Jesus
PL-Lith commonwealth is mentioned numerous times.
no, that is not right at al..
Yes, before the Swedish invasion protestants were quite numerous, including major Polish and Lithuanian noblemen, and widely tolerated.
Later on Jesuits converted a lot of Poles
In addition during so called Swedish Deluge Polish protestants (at least many of prominent protestants like Radziwils or Jan Amos Komensky) supported Swedish aggressor what had dramatical consequences for traditional tolerance in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Visiting Treblinka is one of the saddest events, I've ever experienced.
Absolutely. These places can have such an effect, and it makes no sense.
At places like Stutthof I found the peace more unnerving.

that's just crazy.. that's like saying that having blue eyes or read hair is a genetic defect.. it's not.. it's just a variant.. gays have been around as long as humans have.. there are also plenty of gayness in other species.. it's not really abnormal.. it's just different.
no, it's just what you said, it's experimenting.. not gayness..
bi's.. are just another variation just like green eyes or black hair are... seriously dude.. except it, don't fight it.. come on out.. we won't hate you any more then we already do.. it's ok. :D :D
At this point it would mean being gay was due to a genetic defect, that could one day be corrected, and not a mental illness after all.

Clearly this was a conscious "choice" she made. Some might call this choice the result of a mental illness, but more likely her temporary gayness was a reflection of society's promoting and celebrating of gayness as being trendy and cool.
