News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

I'm sorry to hear that you have had such an awful experience, I would say please try to show yourself more compassion, you were young and in a difficult position,that may not be of much comfort though. I do agree that education about both sex/birth control and abortion needs to be far more realistic. We teach sex education in schools but we do it without teaching about responsibility and consequences! it's a short sighted policy. While I am totally pro choice, I also believe that we should be making young people aware that they do not have to be pressurised into sexual relationships and it's okay to say NO. The option of adoption should also be far more widely available too. There should also be extensive counselling available post termination. Bottom line, we should be aiming to drastically reduce unplanned pregnancies thereby reducing abotion/adoption and neglected/abused children.

I would never outlaw abortion, working with the children that I do work with I believe that some people should never be allowed to have children but that's another story.


Agreed

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]


Spot on, there are many practices that the Koran either condemns or does not require, as you say, most came from Pre Islamic tribal customs.

Please remember this is 'Polish Forums' not 'Forum' magazine (or Penthouse, Razzle etc..).
Your posts are distasteful and given the topic rather irrelevant! There are other forums for this type of post!


You need to buy a book on either biology or sexual medicine as this statement is factually incorrect and quite dangerous!

Load of boll-cks that is not how abortions are carried out!!!


Unfortunately druggies and alcoholics rarely have abortions as they know there is money to be made from having kids!!!! I have spent many years dealing with the kids from these scumbags, it's not a nice life for the kids and sometimes the next generation suffers too!! These bits of sh-t come from all walks of life and most nationalities and some of them are Catholics too! Don't you dare preach about 'sin' and criticise abortion, just go and see how some kids have to suffer!!!

Abortion needs to be legal in every country and easily available up to 16 weeks!
Availability of the procedure prevents much distress for the woman concerned and goes some way towards safeguarding against late and illegal abortions!
People need to be aware of the need for contraception and know how to use it correctly but when you have ridiculous religions telling people it's a sin to use contraception, it can be hard to get the message across! Ideally we should be more careful about sexual relations but people are people and mistakes happen!

For those people who say abortion is a 'sin' well it's a far bigger sin to bring a child into a 'sh-t' life and possibly condemn several generations to 'sh-t lives'

Sounds like a good move!!!


I've read some of Natasia's posts and she knows what she is talking about, her advice is totally correct!s
IMO 'sisterhood' is not a strong trait among polish women so stand up for yourself!
Your guy loves [b]YOU[/b an Irish/French Canadian! Don't let anyone muck up your relationship with your guy.
Hope the move works out well for you both.

Love / Dating a Polish man - how to impress his mother? [51]

It goes like this when you date a guy from a different culture, everything seems different and exciting, sometimes much better than your own culture. It's very easy to become immersed in the culture and to believe that people/things from the culture are right and you/ your culture are not! You can lose your sense of 'self' especially if you're young and not terribly confident. Your boyfriend's family came to Canada, they are the ones who have to adapt!!! You are a hardworking young woman of Irish/French heritage brought up in what I am told is a lovely country with a good society, be proud of this!

Sometimes mixed culture relationships work well and are very happy and I hope this is what will happen for you.
However, sometimes the relationships don't work. If you turn yourself inside out to become a replica of a Polish woman, spend your time bending over backwards to please the Poles, you will feel very bitter and cynical if the relationship fails, in fact you will feel a fool.

Poland is just another country, the food isn't great, the language is no better than any other and the women are no prettier or better than any other women, neither are the men!! There are good things about Poland and some of the people are really nice, but ultimately it's no better than any other country or culture!

Many Poles won't think any better of you for trying to adapt to Polish culture and there are some who will just abuse your willingness to be nice. A few basic phrases of Polish are all you need, a couple of easy polish dishes to serve on special occasions and good manners. No one should expect more!

The gloss soon wears off as time passes, there will be things you hate about Polish culture and you will need to be confident as a person in your own right to deal with this. I hope your relationship works out but if it doesn't never feel it was because you were not 'Polish' enough. You are good enough as you are!

This is very true, some Poles will just like giving non Poles a hard time! If you and your guy are happy this is all that matters!

Despite my rather negative comments there are nice Polish women out there and men too, when you meet the nice ones you will feel much more confident!

Try not to let this woman undermine your confidence, I had all that sort of rubbish said to me by Polish women. Your job is a valuable job,be proud of it. Maybe you aren't a domestic goddess but so what? There is more to being a real woman than pandering to a man! If you want to learn Polish do it for you, it never hurts to have an extra language. As for the children bit, if a mother chooses to work that is her choice, it does not make her a bad mother! Sometimes bad things happen and women have to bring up their children alone, having a good job is a lifesaver in this situation.It doesn't matter what happens in Poland, you two live in Canada!

Does this woman really want some whining spoiled 'princess' who expects to be kept! she's a fool if she does! Your fella loves you because your a real woman with some independence, forget about what his family think!

Use a tenderising steak hammer, you can buy them in any shop that sells cutlery. If you can't get hold of one , just use an ordinary hammer and beat the meat until it's flat!

Buy some pork steaks, tenderise and flatten them out, roll in a little salt, pepper and paprika, then dip in a beaten egg and roll in bread crumbs( shop bought bread crumbs), fry in oil for about 5-10 mins, turning regularly. serve this with a finely chopped salad and some boiled potatoes. you could also have a dish of yogurt with peeled, grated cucumber.

There isn't much you can do about this, some Polish women are very hostile to any non Pole having a relationship with a Polish man. I never could understand this because Polish women who date or marry Non Poles expect to be accepted!!

Just be yourself, she may come round in time especially when she can see you make her son happy.
My ex's Mum and sisters were really great and still are, pity the ex was such a bum!!!!
As long as you and your boyfriend are happy try not to worry about the others!!

Life / Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world! [331]

Polish people are the most ignorant people in the world!
You can't really say this about any race! There are problems in the education system and sometimes it doesn't encourage deep thought,but that can be said of the British education system and many other education systems too.Some people are interested in the world outside of home, work and leisure, some aren't. It usually depends on the social/educational status of people as to their level of ignorance, if you are only meeting people from one strata of society they may give the impression that an entire race is ignorant but when you meet people from a different strata your opinions will change.The problem is that in many countries people aren't actively encouraged to think about wider issues, it makes political/social control easier! based on the old Roman method of keeping the masses under control!!

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]


It was Rollo who actually founded the Duchy of Normandy, I believe he was descended from (or was) a Viking/Norseman.
I think we underestimate the size and influence of the Viking 'empire' (for want of a better word).
The Normans had a fascinating history and obviously had a huge impact on Britain. Fantastic builders, I really like the Norman castles.


The Duchy of Normandy was founded by Rollo who was a viking/Norseman I believe.
The sheer size,scope and influence of the Viking 'empire' (for want of a better word) was amazing.
The Normans had a fascinating history too, certainly a huge impact on Britain. Fantastic builders, I really like the Norman castles.
