Why not ? I can't see what the argument against it would be.

By the way, they have already found a food that reduces a womans sex drive by 90%.

Its called a wedding cake.

So what happens when the sex offender is a woman ? As we saw in the UK earlier this week with the teacher fiddling with a 15 year old.

Law / The Euro, is it a good idea for Poland? [66]

Pegging your currency to the Euro makes economic sense as it will be less vulnerable in a global market.

It is bad news for domestic retail as prices will go up just like they have done in every other country with the Euro.

Bad news for tourists too.

While you ponder the above suggestions with what to do with your $1/4mil, it might be worth noting that the banks that were bailed out by the taxpayer in the not too distant past are now posting profits.

If you can access research articles Adrian Zandberg has done a paper on Ether drinking in Silesia.

It was also a major problem in Ireland and Scotland in the late 1800s.

Because it will soon be the 263rd anniversary of the Battle of Culloden I have been reading a lot about the link between the Sobieskis and the Stuarts.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]


Whether you agree with Sokrates or not you have to admit thats a fair challenge.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]

There were some interesting Nazi Collaborations in WW2 - none more so than the Stern Gang.

While the soldiers of the Scottish 51st Highland Infantry and the Polish soldiers under General Anders were busy fighting the Nazis in North Africa, the Stern Gang including Yitzhak Shamir and Menachem Begin were busy ambushing allies, and blew up the vital Haifa-Cairo railroad supply line.

They were also doing deals with the fascists in Italy just before the Polish victory at Monte Cassino.

When Yitzhak Shamir, Israel's future Prime Minister in the 1980s, was asked to explain their collaboration with the Fascists, he replied:

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Also worth a Google is the Haavara Agreement.

Whilst these Jewish nazi collaborators were very much the minority, it is an interesting juxtaposition that is often overlooked.

History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]


Since we are on about Jews and Nazi collaborators....what about the guys that were supporting the Nazis against General Anders and the allies ?

What about the guys that were doing deals with the Italian fascists that the Poles would later fight at Monte Cassino ?

Moot point -
The article refers to Neuromagnetic activity in response to auditory stimulation - it would appear to me this is lacking in an Internet forum ?

Edit - interesting to note that in order to "read" we have to think of the sound so some auditory processing is required. The study quoted seems to be from Japan, where the characters ( letters ) are different and so use a different part of the brain to "decode" them. This would have a bearing on the MRI of a person reading "European " text rather than "oriental " such as Japanese or Chinese.

Hello Hazel and welcome to the forums.
Sounds like an interesting project - would like to see the outcome.
There is plenty of Polish slang on these forums but I dont know how this would transfer to the forties.

I suppose one example in English would be "woodbine". A common word for a cigarette in the forties but unheard of now. I wonder what the Polish equivalent would be ?
