History / MAP OF POLAND IN 1880'S [95]

Legend in family..Jewish Rabbi married a Polish Countess. had to be the 1800's.

A lovely story. If you have any birth certificates, death certificates etc from the twentieth century, you might contact the Gmina Zydowska in Warsaw who help people to trace their family history.

Often families develop very romantic stories that become more and more romanticised in the retelling however are based on a (sometimes more prosaic) grain of truth. It would be wonderful if you could get to the bottom of the story.

News / Polish MEP Korwin-Mikke's latest outrage, insulting women [216]

They get mentally enslaved

Speak for yourself.

Korwin-Mikke's comments were as usual offensive and deliberately demeaning. For this he has rightly been punished according to the rules he agreed to when taking his seat.

For doing the same job? No, it would be illegal.

Rightly so.

Like women getting rights to keep the child after divorce?

We know your current situation, and we know that custody rules exist for a reason...

I wonder if Janusz Korwin-Mikke would have been punished if he said that men are less intelligent than women.

Do women generally get higher pay than men? Do men often have to put up with such illogical crap?

He's now been rightly punished. This is actually the third time he's been suspended and a petition about this in Polish was signed by around a million people:

unprecedented penalties. The MEP will lose his daily subsistence allowance for 30 days, a sum totalling €9,180 (£8,047) intended to cover his expenses while he attends parliament. Korwin-Mikke will also be suspended from all parliamentary work for 10 days and banned from representing the parliament for one year.

I've talked to English men from the North of England who still hate her for "closing down coal mines and taking away free milk

With good cause. The devastation caused in some parts of the country was pure evil. Nevertheless. She was a very strong person who rose to the top in the face of competition from men who were very skilled political operators. Korwin-Mikke would not stand a chance against Thatcher

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

There's quite a bit online on Polish language websites that explain exactly how that sort of thing allegedly worked for a certain family and who the relevant related VIPs were. And most controversially what their particular roles were.

Did he actually work there?

his brother

Worth asking if anyone else may have been prosecutors or judges and in which period. And if that answers any other questions relating to having an immensely privileged life in that difficult period

I-S, Cambodia is a largely rural society which was denuded by a totalitarian regime, years ago, and is still getting over that. Bad things happen wherever capitalism exists.

Tell us IS, why you think the bad things so far away in Cambodia relate to the tit Korwin-Mikke's appalling behaviour?

Everybody. Here and elsewhere. When were you last in Europe? How many times have you been in Rurope over the last 20 years?

The PiS flappers are making Poland the laughing stock of Europe. Everywhere else has moved on from all the:

Inidivuals linked to the former (secret) services and working for the former services before 1989 are simply not needed and harmful.

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

But I think it's rare in Poland

Mostly because there was never any reason to. It developed in certain parts of the world due to hygiene issues in a very hot region. There was never the need here.

therefore underpaid compared to their female counterparts.

Don't be silly...

your knowledge of nursing

Proves you're talking out of your ass as usual...

Korwin-Mike is not only an international laughing-stock bringing embarrassment to Poland, he's also just plain wrong...

your casual gender stereotyping! There are plenty of highly professional

Check out the gender stats for nursing, Bieggers, there's a good boy.

It harms the foetus. Maybe it's different in the states and that is why you are all so dopey...:)

Explains a lot...

Besides most females today are so pampered, materialistic and shallo

Have you met most females? Spent much time in the developing world. Lived the life of a woman in your town who gets up at the crack of dawn, gets the kids off to school, does a full day's work and comes back to cooking, cleaning and childcare?

No, but you think

most females today are so pampered

Women avoid physical work like the plague

So do you, Bieggers, so do you...

Of course you could always try a shift as a nurse. You would learn very quickly what the word exhausted really means...

i believe GOOD family upbringing is the MORE IMPORTANT one

What about those who have no family?

Ability is not the same as sureness, its all depends on individual circumstances.

Spot on, Ironside.

There is no pay gap

The three Cs, cooking, cleaning, care. Jobs you can do if you have to raise a family.
