UK, Ireland / Polish and Irish people are related? [137]
The Church isn`t able to solve its problems on its own - instead of solving and getting rid of various scum, they try to sweep dirty affairs under the carpet. If not for the media, we wouldn`t learn about many immoral acts by some evil clergy. They are experiencing a crisis but they have brought it on themselves.
never miss an opportunity to attack the Catholic Church, who is having a crisis at the moment.

No. To invent a joke, one needs some abstract intelligence. Highlanders have no time for such stupidities - they are busy running their businesses.

Yes, that`s typical of boxers. When they get hit and knocked out, they fall backward on their occiputs. Normal. Hence flat skulls, I can even see a dent.

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]
Polish Russian friendship is possible when we mean average people who meet or work on daily basis, have fun together in casual situations and they ignore history issues coz they prefer other topics to talk about. Not all Russians support Putin.

That has always been the rightists` problem. They are not able mto build/create anything new - they are the best at dismantling and destroying things. Yes, they played a good role in toppling communism together with other opposition groups. But later,whenever they came to power, they were incorrigible destructors.
They simply dont have the intellect.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]
I had also thought so until I spent a lot of time in hospital attending a relative of mine. I realised that horrible food served in hospitals was partly a myth. It isn`t so tragic, I would say it matches the standard of meals served in average income households.
It's not very nice. If you're there for any length of time, you need people to bring food in.

I was certain we had already talked about asparagus in this thread but we didn`t, actually. I am getting old and my memory fails me more and more often. Forgive me if I post sth again.
Asparagus is so yummy. Besides, it goes well with everything - there are dozens of options. The problem is it isn`t fatty and I feel hungry soon afterwards.

It is simple - in their opinion, it carries negative connotations from the past - just like the word Cygan - gypsy. Murzyn sounds patronising as sb inferior who used to be a slave or exploited labourer, while Cygan provokes associations with a liar/fraudster.

We already talked about the word Murzyn which sounds controvercial to some liberals. Recently some linguists proposed to remove a book "W Pustyni i Puszczy" by Sienkiewicz from the primary school reading list because it portrays blacks in negative light, glorifies racism and excuses colonialism.

Latest gossip. A famous actor Zamachowski left his third wife. She is miserable but it was her who once contributed to him leaving his second wife. It is suspected he found another woman, an actress, while his third wife is a journalist.
One day he packed up his things and left, taking some furniture, including the piano.
They didn`t have their own kids. Yes, they have but with previous partners.
What a sad story.
