News / "POLISH death camps" term used by "Parade Magazine" Anti-Polish Bigots [249]

are NOT native English speakers then.

Then it's not up to them to criticise how the English use their own language. It's not Esperanto.

Nearly one billion Chinese learn English, yet it's not their first language.

And they have their own newspapers.

Which is grasped by intelligent readers. What about those less smart???

They should have tried harder at school.

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

Coca Cola was advertised more than Pepsi.

It's all the same to me.

Oranźada is nice, and a retro drink too. A bit like Tizer in the U.K.

Makes a nice sorbet, as does Pepsi/Coke

hot whiskeys

My granny used to make that.

On a cold wet day, whisky and ginger (Stones or Crabbies) goes down well. Traditional in South West Scotland.

News / R. Trzaskowski, current mayor of Warsaw, future President of Poland [354]

Mr Future President of Poland

And a noisy minority hate that. Such hatred against anyone who doesn't share their particular political vision and anguish from them when people vote a way they don't personally like.

They can crawl back under their stone since Mr T is growing in popularity.

Bushmills is the 'Protestant' whiskey you see

Is Black Bush its RC equivalent? I remember someone saying that to me but they weren't from Ireland.

Captain Puffin

I always forget about him. He probably bought the lemons from Twistevant's (if Irene's Lucy hadn't beaten him to it).

The Padre obviously drank Scotch too...

But Irish whiskey is never that rough

You'll want to bash me but I used to like Jamieson's and soda. It seems to suit soda more than most whiskey's do.

I prefer to take whiskey in a cup of tea

I put it in black coffee sometimes. Electric soup.

Mostly though the Scottish and Irish don't add water

You used to see the little jugs in Yorkshire though nowadays they're mostly used in Scotland.

It does work though IMHO it's better when the drops of warm water are used in cheaper whiskies. I'd be scared to do it with a really good one but I know Scots who do.

Not really, though there's a bit of that when it melts.

In Scotland and sometimes northern England, very traditional pubs can have a small jug of warm water on the bar. A few drops is all that's needed for that.

big pharma psy op

That sounds very American.

So 99.5% of people have to jump through hoops

What 'hoops' do you personally have to jump through?

I would probably consider voting GOP,

They aren't a thing in Poland.

My offer now is $20.

I tipped a waitress there times that yesterday.

Understand this and understand it well. As far as transgender issues are concerned, the genie is well and truly out of the bottle and there's no going back.

And there was you complaining about how many there are.

And 'Ben Shapiroi' is a well known liar anyway. Your stats are wrong.

If you look for answers you'll never find one and in three times the length of your lifetime nobody will understand the question.

You win sh*it. Transholes

mental cases

Homos

If that's the best you can do, reflect that other no-marks have been doing far worse, far more effectively, sometimes with judicial support and extreme violence for centuries and still lost against us.

People have heard it all before and it didn't work.

PSL need their arses kicking really. What a wasted opportunity. And they've gone the way of Spolem, Cepelia and Solidarniosci.

How so, if the average number of true transgender people has always been at or below 1%?

How come?

Numbers aren't lives and 1% of 7 billion is bigger than your town.

hurt their agenda.

Screw agendas. Jut understand that like it or not, nothing rain a it red to be (or a you perceive that it used to be). Trans isn't going away.

Gays
Lesbians

And we win every war we fight. Get used to that.

nods* For a reason! It's no victory for the girls allowing men back into their sports

The same,

Rather than demonise anyone and everyone who doesn't fit into the gender binary because of that, perhaps it's better to see it as a bureaucratic lapse by the sports governing bodies who failed to be proactive in a time of change.
