Travel / Hiking and Camping Trails in Poland [51]

It must really bother you that she actually learn about Poland instead of just talking about it. Well, there is easy cure...

Maybe you should tell us about your adventurous travels

No adventurous travels here. All calm and more or less according to plan.

belittling of others.

Belittling? Because I told you that your romanticized, simplistic image of the potential people living there is stupid? Well, it is.
I worked in a factories and I know the countryside and that cr*p about salt of the earth is hilarious to me. They are all the same just the decorations change. Instead of 'what my followers on insta will say' it's 'what my neighbour will say'. Instead of 'that dress will look amazing in the club' it's 'this dress will look amazing in church'.

You have good people and bad people, the rest doesn't mean a sh*t.

Next step: Gorce Mountains

Och my, nice memories. I did a lot of growing up there during trecking camp

you will meet the humble Polish people who are not out to impress anyone.

With such simplistic view of human nature you will be disappointed no matter where you go.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

My family also like Polish sausage

Oh my, something for my taste! Forget all the fancy marinated meat - give me grilled Podwawelska with a baguette with garlic butter and a beer and I'm the happiest girl alive :)

Omg, it's been such a long time since I had grill :(

History / Roman Dmowski-Patriot, Nationalist, Anti-Semite? [252]

Maybe after learning the truth

The truth is you are obsessed. You used your personal history as a fuel and look for someone to hate and came across Jews.
For your own good you should sober up but I know it's not going to happen.

Oh give it a break. If anything it has more to do with doctors wanting extra income. And yes, your parents said yes so the consent was given. You weren't kidnapped but your parents made one of those decisions every parent does many times during kids lifetime. You just don't like what they decided.

I don't want my body to be substantiated to political nonsense against my permission. It is my body.

Talk to your parents then as they were the ones that consented and give the rest of us a break

Back in the day it was probably hygene. When people didn't have easy access to washing facilities etc it probably made sense. After stuff becomes tradition or religious event people turn off their brains and stop asking why so it carried on.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

No, it's someone who pretends to be all posh but in reality his lower class/rural nature shows.
When I use it I have a picture in my head of someone in super smart clothes with a bit of hay with dunk stuck to the sole of the shoe

I should add that pride doesn't go well with slavery (or does it)?

Only a very small percentage of people (even of rich people) ever had slaves

I should explain that my comment was inspired by 'Gone with the wind' that I re read not long ago and which Maf's saying brought to life.

In the book it's described how Yankee women wanted to socialise with the old south families but of course are not permitted..

Since we are in the class division area:
'Hay sticking out of one's shoes'
