Vlad I must admit I very much like the Russian language especially it's melodiousness - but I like quite a number of languages for their sound including German
to my embarassment though when I met Russian people in England in the early 2000's most of words that came to my mind while trying to speak Russian were Czech - to my justification after my school years i had almost none contact with your language and instead I watched a lot Czech TV which I preffered to Polish TV stations - I live near the border with the Czech Republic

hmm maybe I put too much trust in my fellow Poles - I personally learned Russian in elementary school and was ever since aware of things our languages share (but also in notable differences) - well we should bear in mind that there are now generations of Poles who barely had ever contact with Russian (but my 10-year-old nephew knows cyka-blyat from web-based games :P

News / Degenerate "rainbow" eyesore to disappear from Saviour Square (Plac Zbawiciela) in Warsaw [297]
Rich - gays are indeed born gay - buuuut - gays were not created gay - being gay is a matter of a choice made many incarnations before - a choice that was further reinforced through subsequent decisions - the choice was made because the soul in question held females or a female element responsible for the fall in consciousness instead of accepting the soul's sole responsibility - it is similar with lesbians - the picture is further complicated by the fact that many souls in present were forced to inhabit the bodies of the sex that is not preferred by the soul - that's why you have effeminate gays and butches on the opposite side of the spectrum

and well we all know that VAT mafias were fairy tales - and that there is no money to cover for 500+ expenses - and that budget deficit is exorbitant as of november 2018 - a staggering minus 6 billion PLN - I hope you know what deficit in negative numbers means

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [402]
yes indeed
the place name (a village most probably-never heard of such a town) could have been Jew or Jewo - the name has nothing to do with Jews or Jewishness - a Jew in Polish is "żyd" - Jew or Jewo are probably old forms or derivates of 'jaw' which means sort of visible, uncovered
I read that "Ski" is a "from"

the only major SKOK scandal was with SKOK Wolomin that was run by the aquintances of Bronisław Komorowski from former WSI (military secret services) - if there were any involvment of PiS in the SKOK Wołomin which happened long before PO lost power - PO would thouroughly investigate it including setting up a partliamentary commission like the one that PiS set up to investigate the Amber Gold affair

Walesa is an ego maniac, who among others promised every adult person in Poland 100 000 000 in old Polish zlotys to secure his presidency in 1992 - even now this amount is a rather biggish sum for an average family in Poland (100 000 000 PLZ is more than 20 000 PLN in current prices) and he is a major traitor of the people
Walesa on the other hand is only guilty of being not very bright and bombastic.

Apparently, for many men, it's not the physical presence - the smell just doesn't go away no matter how much they shower and clean.

I think (I may be wrong though) that it was Jewish doctors in the US that spread the notion that circumcision is somehow medically beneficial in order for Jews not to stick out like sore thumbs with their circumcised penises

johnny just from my experience - I live over 40 years with a foreskin and never had any health issues caused by it even though I not always took shower or bathed every day - in fact in my childhood I only bathed once a week - and not a single health problem caused by the foreskin - so medical pro's of circumcision are in my view rather dubious - I also never heard of anyone I know have issues because of having a foreskin - do you want more proof circumcision is completely unnecessary
That would be the stupid person that really could care what the pro's
