Love / I want to marry a polish girl . I am in middle east now i am single [21]

Reminds me of that old TV joke about the man who advises that
his little girl date a young man who is forthright, yet demure, cultured,
yet with a practical side, straight on, yet with a kindly twinkle in his eye,
to which the man's best best friend reminds him, "Felix, it's against the law
to date your own daughter!"

Off-Topic / The Pope has officially approved the blessing of same-sex couples [60]

@MrGrunwald, are you speaking here perhaps of Mosaic vs. Talmudic Law?
@Rich, as always, I cannot grasp the meaning of what you're trying to say,
although knowing you, it must be something vile about me and hence embarrassing
about you.

The Pope is technically correct!
Who decides who lives whom or who should pray to G-d
other than the person themselves?

G-d hears ALL of our prayers. Pat Robertson ought to have been ex-communicated
when he once said to the crowd that "G-d doesn't hear the prayer of a Jew!"

To whom else would the late hate preacher have closed G-d's ears?? Jews, gays, Communists...,all non-Christian believers??
Absolutely shameful!!

So I guess that makes you a Pole rather than an American.

Off-Topic / You guys are wrong [11]

That's often the way it was, Alien.
Polish Jews were never as assimilated as, say, German or French Jews.
Anyway, there can never be a truly "universal" language, above all English,
as there still is no truly universal thinking system, thank the Lord!

There'll always be some sort of cross-cultural interference whenever two
interlocutors seek to communicate with one another in a language not their
own.

Interesting that a Polish-born Jew, Prof. Zamenhof, should have been the one
to envision a universal language.

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

Never once suggested that Braun represents a majority of Poles, thank G-d!
However, it's not too dissimilar to that Philipp Jenninger chap in the German Bundestag,
oh way back in the late '80's, whose flip comments on Hitler's rise being quite understandable,
caused shock waves throughout the country like you wouldn't believe.

We heard the same thing back then, e.g."Jenninger doesn't represent present German values.." etc.
Let's hope this fella Braun just a crackpot anomaly.

@That's right, Rich. Make the perp a victim and the defender a criminal. Nice one.

@Paulina, I do indeed know the difference
between the government and the Sejm, as I'm aware of
the difference between your president vs. your premiere!

That doesn't change the simple fact that Braun believes he's
acting in the interests of his country which is a pretty pathetic
commentary on Poland.

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

@Crnogorac3,

Jews have been living in Poland since approximately the 13th century, albeit
not amicably, until nearly 600 years after the fact, nonetheless, side by side
with their Christian brethren. Polish Christians and their Jewish fellow citizens
influenced one another in both cuisine as well as culture. Practically in no
other European society was the symbiosis as complete as in pre-War Poland.

For someone who represents the Polish government to engage in such a
despicable stunt, such a hateful message, not to mention in the end anti-
Christian, indicates a mental disorder.

It doesn't take a shrink to figure that one out!!

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [358]

So let me understand something. This fellow Braun extinguished the Hanukkah candles with a
fire extinguisher because he felt such a ceremony had no place in the Sejm??

If so, he really is a cretin and should be hauled up on charges of anti-semitism!

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [181]

Nearly every education system with which I'm familiar
will naturally reflect those cultural, not to mention religious,
values with which their pupils will be imbued.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]

@Przelotnyptak,
Seemed to have missed something here. Not all Arabs are jihadists any more than all Israelis
are haters of all Palestinians. Meier Kahane is long dead, thank heaven.

History / Good enough for British - Joseph Conrad? Poland-born novelist. [30]

Noteworthy indeed that Conrad's mother tongue was Polish when one reads what he was able to compose so beautifully in English.
While there are many such examples of multilingual writers who often wrote in a language not their first language, such as Beckett, Nabokov,
Czeslaw Milosc, Josef Brodsky and others, it's nonetheless astounding.
