@Ironside,
Fools rarely admit that they are. You seem no exception.
@jon,
Jewish perhaps? Maybe short for "Dorot" (kolenia).

Rich is angry with himself and so he hates Polish because it reminds him of his roots, plain and simple!

Zupelnie zgodze sie, Torq!

Great poets, musicians, and artists (including of course film makers) are the life blood
of any civilzation, cultural guardians of the national consciousness. To my mind, one of
modern Poland's greatest poets is Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz.

@Torq,

I meant that Germany "won" the economic war after being both physically and psychically defeated.
Had Poland, for that matter former East Zone, been pumped with US dollars a la The Marshall Plan, perhaps she too might have rebounded
with the drive or zeal of post-War Germany!

Work / Are Poles workaholics? [164]

This antipathy I can understand.
Also compounded by a degree of jealousy, whether admitted or not!

In the state of Michigan as late as 1959, a blood test, a simple swab on
a slide worked up by any intern at a hospital, was deemed by State Court
sufficient in proving rape!!

So the state of Michigan was WRONG???!
Come on, dude.

Calling all mental deadbeats, calling all mental deadbeats....DANGER, DANGER!!! YOU'RE IN DANGER OF LEARNING SOMETHING!!

@Rich & others,

The issue of abortion is in essence a female, not an exclusively male-dominated one. After all, who impregnates the female?:-)

Off-Topic / What is a woman? [794]

Sex change operations occur in the US with dramatic regularity, Rich!
It's just that nobody talks about 'em.

Jeremy,
Your profile says you are located in Krakow, but just curious whether you
are from Poland or simply work in Poland.

You don't know the meaning of the word, people.

Proving rape is merely a matter of a simple blood test!
Penetration is sufficient in such cases, even if there is no completion.

How do I know it was rape? How do you know it wasn't??

History / 81st Anniversary of Warsaw Uprising [72]

Germany might well have ended up winning the peace, even if having lost the war!
Face facts, why don't you. Western Germany worked like the Dickens to dig herself
out from a bombed out country, whose population were nearly decimated, a majority
of whom were forced to eat from garbage cans in order just to find scraps of food.
Many losers were offered Marshall Plan like packages from the victors, yet how many
wound up like post-War dynamos as did The Federal Republic of Germany?

She built an economy exceeding even that of the US from around the late '60's up until relatively
recently, has the highest GDP in Europe and is a leading software producer as well as a leader
in any number of areas, surprisingly enough in gastronomy!!

Only American won?? Uh, I don't think so.

Abortion "rules" as it were apply naturally ONLY in cases of rape or incest.
Here, we must show leniency!!

Life / Moving back to Poland after 19 years [20]

You just proved my point! Most Poles over seventy years of age
don't know English, German among the educated, surely some
schoolbook Russian, but primarily Polish.

Same in most countries, except perhaps for the Netherlands or
Scandinavia. There, the average person can string together a
fairly decent (though obviously not native-) sounding English sentence.
However, correction they will not sufferLOL

Thanks for the correction, maf!
Tracy deserved the Oscar for "Inherit the Wind", HANDS DOWN!!
Admittedly, Schell gave the best performance in "Judgement",
(in my opinion, way superior to Lancaster's uncharactaristically
stilted and over the top exaggerated take on the Janning part),
....but Spence had all the best lines:-)
