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.

Johnny Galecki and Simon Helberg from TBBT also have some Polish ancestors.

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'

Food / Origin of the pierogi [127]

Never mind the origin

things you take for granted today eventually become nothing more than nostalgic memories

Since we are not sure of origin maybe pierogi themselves pushed out something else? Did it ever cross your mind?

Law / Termination of permament or contract work contract in Poland [35]

I wouln't sign mutual agreement as there is nothing mutual about it. Ask for termination of contract by your employer.

Mutual agreement has a legal consequences (like unemployment benefit)

This is not discrimination?why me and not others?

Discrimination on what grounds? Is your performance better than others? Do they do the same job?

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

Who cares what the judges want? PiS is in power and could put through laws that would make the system better. But they did nothing to address that did they?

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

I believe removing gimnazjum was a good idea BUT PiS f**ed it up. They rushed through it and made nothing to actually prepare the change properly.

The same with 500. In itself not a stupid idea BUT if meant as a fertility booster- fail. If meant as a help to poorer families why give it also to people with big incomes?

Court reform- desperately needed. But instead of trying to make the cases quicker, the system more user friendly they go to war with judges that they seem enemies.

That is the whole problem imo
