Exactly. Emotional language helps nobody and just pours oil on troubled water.

For myself, I think we should let the medical profession decide what procedures should or should not be legal.

If the foetus is 'unborn', it isn't a child.

Exactly. There may have been reasons once but now (excuse the pun) there's no point.


Them and Filipinos.

Actually they don't. it's a tribal custom usually practised by villagers. Islam condemns it.

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


No. Male circumcision was adopted as a health practice in times when religion played a bigger role in life that it does today, encompassing laws, medicine, science etc. and some of the religions that have survived from those times still advocate it. Some of them, for example Islam, do it only as a matter of tradition. No religion as far as I know advocates female circumcision.

Who cares. What happened thousands of years ago when medical knowledge was beyond primitive is irrelevant today. And BTW, Abraham is not 'avinu' for most people.

I disagree. There are dicks and there are dicks.

UK, Ireland / Better being female in UK or Poland? [33]


Poland also has strong domestic violence laws and zero tolerance campaigns. Statistics show that Polish women in the UK are also taking advantage of their right to terminate pregnancies.

That doesn't make much sense. Or any sense.


Read it all thanks. Several times. In English and both original languages.


I don't care.


What's that? Is it fun?


No they aren't.


Go and take a pill. It's time for your meds.


Better still, take two.

You are, alas, mistaken.


Not a very varied diet.


Not 'Central European' wines?

Maybe you should try harder. Perhaps you don't ever eat pierogi, kasza, gołąbki, kielbasa, cabbage soup, and countless other things, or even drink vodka? Perhaps not.

"щи да каша - пища наша"


You do seem very very confused about the concept of Mittleuropa. I suspect you actually half believe that Poland isn't in Eastern Europe. That or trying to troll.

By the way, your 'use' of wikipedia is somewhat selective.

Is an irrelevance for most people in the world. As is circumcision.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]


And some no doubt quite exotic. The everyday stuff is firmly in the Eastern European tradition.

Just get over it.


The 'Eastern Territories' of Germany, you mean?

Mittleeuropa didn't extend further into Poland than the Austrian zabór. Ever. And even then, only the cities.

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]


There's something in that, however the Central Europe that some people wish Poland was part of is the old Mitteleuropa, bits of Germany, bits of The Empire etc - you can still find it in Prague, Vienna, even Berlin, however mostly only ghosts remain.


So you're still pretending you think Polish food isn't firmly within the Eastern European tradition?

In fact they do it in the Phillippines too. Are they also a b1tch?

Food / What is your favorite Polish Vodka? [653]

Most countries make it. Try French vodka.

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

You seem to assume that not being circumcised creates the problems you suggest. The experience of millions of men suggests otherwise.

It's a useless practice, though of course if someone really wants it they can always pay to have it done. Forcing it on a child is not a good thing.

Love / How are lesbians seen in Poland (more info inside)? [30]

You won't have any problem with a hotel in Warsaw, and as the capital it's fairly cosmopolitan. There are also bars, at least one of which is women only. I sometimes walk down the street hand-in-hand with my partner and the only rare adverse reaction has been off the same type of chav who would yell anywhere but isn't actually brave enough to do anything.

Travel / Why does everyone seem to hate LOT Polish Airlines? [382]

You were lucky. On my last flight, a Lufthansa Lot code share they flew Frankfurt Warsaw, circled round Warsaw for 2 hours due to fog then went back to Germany to refuel. A shame they couldn't land at Modlin or even Lodz instead.

Compared to your logic?

Trust what the medical profession say, rather than emotions.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

That's something a doctor could better comment on. It seems significant that the medical profession as a whole do not oppose the procedure.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

Ironic, given most of the posters in this thread are male and some here are trotting out a point of view on abortion promulgated by celibate men. But then again, you agree more closely with that point of view, don't you.

If someone is against abortion, the don't have to have one. If someone wants to end a pregnancy, given all medical evidence that foetuses are not sentient individuals, the should be no legal impediment preventing them from doing so.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

A foetus is not a baby, terminating a pregnancy is killing nothing but an assembly of unconscious cells. However much god-botherers try to pretend otherwise.

I'm sure you could easily find some pictures of hungry, unwanted children. Or women whose chance of a career has been blown due to falling pregnant. Or maybe a coffin of one of the tens of thousands of women who die every year because they try to do a home abortion because they can't sort it out properly in a clinic.
