Love is not the mere province of adolescence, it's a heart ailment that strikes all ages...and it's incurable

Unless both famílies are unusually tolerant, I'd have to concur.

Probably a Muslim might still have at least a somewhat easier time of it in the long run than a foreígn-born Jew, especially an Israeli under identical circumstances. I base my conclusions on the experiences of several Americans of Jewish heritage my wife and myself have known over many years.

Well said, Maf. Xenophobia is not limited to Europe.

Pity the feeling isn't mutual, Maf.

It surely won't be easy, certainly as long as traditionally bigoted thinking appears to be on the rise
and a sense of humor seems to be ever on the wane!

Genealogy / Do you consider Gorals, Lemkos, and Silesians Poles? [77]

Nationality is often intertwined with ethnicity, leading to often umwanted questions regarding personal or political loyalties. Poland's no exception. Just look at Turkey and thd Kurds; they say they're Turkish and Erdogan says their not.

Most businesses today are looking for cut-rate, minimally competent part-timers they needn't pay or employ much.

I was being facetious.

To which I would reply as the late, great Regis Philbin: Is that your final answer?

The same stuff I'd say were the issue of gun control to come up: USE BOTH HANDS! After that, have a good stiff drink and pray real hard for the Lord to forgive you.

What separates humans from the four-legged variety of animal is their practiced ability to control language. Those high-minded verities (basic truths) you sneer at are the only things worth defending:-) If not, then might as well move into the local zoo and rent space next to a tiger, hippo or giraffe!

The question is meant to provoke, not inform and is therefore worthless.

I did indeed

You're rationalizing mass killing to justify the means.

History / What Hitler really thought about Poles? Hitler's letter to Himmler 1944 [111]

The quote was .."we know more about death than we know about life, more about killing than we do about living..."

Quit rationalízing! By the end of '45, even the winners were losers if their sons or daughters tragically perished in the eternal pursuit of justice. Sacrifice too has its human limits! In the oft quoted words of four-star general and hero Omar Bradley, "We won a war and lost a peace, we know more about death than we do about killing than we do about living. This is the 2Oth century's claim to progress and distinction."
