Define "HUMAN being", Johnny et al!
While still a fetus, it's barely recognizable as a human at all.

A classic Polish haircut is called "kancik", I believe.
Kind of a crew cut of sorts.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [940]
I too am no end puzzled by cries for "diversity" in an ethnically tight, homogeneous parochial school community, naturally devoted and catering to those from their own national or ethnic group.
Poland never has been a melting pot society and so is it honestly sooooo surprising to see Polish-American school classrooms with towheaded, children of the same background??
In a regular American public or private high school, this of course is something different as it's a general school for all Americans of whatever background.

I LOVE bigos, in fact, can't think of a mainstream Polish dish which I don't enjoy:-) Germans typically refer to it as "Jaegerkraut" or "hunter's cabbage".

Although we don't celebrate, last year, after much nagging on my part, my wife finally made me two classic Polish Christmas favorites (I've been told): Kluski z makiem (noodles with poppy seeds) plus grzadki i koper, kinki z smietanka surowa aka beets with dill, caraway seeds and sour cream.
Yum-yum!!

You answer MY question first, Johnny!
Words such as "fag", unless referring to either a cord of wood (faggot) or "to fag" aka to wait on an older classmate in 19th cent. British public schools, are beneath your dignity, if you've got any, and have no place in mature discourse.

Genealogy / I need help translating few Polish names and places. [4]
Most Polish place or town names have historical German equivalents.
Not clear though to be honest how one would "translate" a Polish place name!
In most countries, names are names and are kept as is, if at all possible.
I might be able to help in terms of titles, names of offices etc.
As here in the States, Polish districts may read the official name plus the district, county or specific region.

Johnny, you're repulsive!
That's not what I mean and you know it.
And herein lies the eternal double standard; a woman who does what she has to to make a living's deemed a slut. When a man does, he's called "one reg'lar fella".

It's not murder, folks!
Once "life" has been removed from a non-formed, partial being, it never even knows what happened.
The law defines murder as the willful extirpation of a sentient being.
The fetus is as yet a nascient, while NOT conscious organism, therefore, the term "murder" doesn't apply, any more than it would in case of killing a dog, cat etc.
Define murder, johnny. I dare ya!

Rich, I can't for the life of me fathom what on earth abortions have to do with school shootings, really I can't!
I'd think if anything, the opposite would be the case, namely, that the UNwanted offspring of teen moms would be messed up enough to commit such massacres.
If mothers, that is, if families in general can't afford children, certainly they oughtn't be mandated to have them.
Perhaps in small, rural, religious communities, an "accidental" pregnancy can more easily be absorbed into the society than in large urban centers, if for no other reason than there's more of an ingrained social network, allowing close family to pitch in no matter what, or face the consequences later on.

Married myself now for nearly twenty-five basically blissful years, I once dated a Polish girl when we were both in our young twenties, and Slawomira confessed that she fell in love with yours truly when I started speaking Polish to her....unexpected and unscripted....MISTAKES AND ALL.

Caught a YouTube of a black guy meandering around the Polish countryside, trying the ask strangers directions, beginning with a well-intentioned, if foreign accented "G-I-N D-A-W-B-R-A-Y!" and watching the suspicious, almost hostile, reactions he got from locals.
The dude was well-dressed, as I recall, and looked like a regular tourist, only of another complexion.
Makes ya wonder though whether those local yokels had ever watched TV and seen parliamentarian John Godson up there on the tube LOL

Jews certainly did need to assimilate into everyday, gentile life, 'course they did!

Adaptation without forgetting, while not unthinkingly clinging to, one's roots is the key to successful integration:-)
