Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]
I have never heard of anyone being in any way concerned about those diseases. In fact, I never heard of tow of them, period.
Apparently you circumcised guys lie in bed at night feeling pleased that you will not likely get those obscure diseases, while rapidly dying from strokes, heat disease and cancers.
Have a nice day.
Natasia, Circumcised guys DO NOT get Balanitis, or Phimosis, or Penile cancer, -- Who do you think are the ones buying Terrasil?? Think for a minute about why it is even on this site ...

Don't know much about computers, do you?
The 'bottom' of a computer (where is that?) doesn't define where its made. Wherever it is made, it certainly doesn't have many Korean parts.
Thats what you get with a Third world education.
If you look on the bottom of your computer, it was probably made in Korea, or mostly Korean parts.

Not a minus, more of a feature. If you want to join the EU it means giving up nationalism, it being completely opposite of the idea of a larger state without borders and commonality.
Nations have a choice, they can go it alone and not join the EU
that's the minus of eu, supporting some sort on natiomalism/identity but avoiding on the otherhand seperatism.

I agree with you there.
How far independence can go is up for debate. Scotland maybe refused entry to the EU by countries such as Spain who fear a breakup. The currency used and economic stability is a problem for new small states. The EU may find these nationalist movements unacceptable as they are against the principle of the EU.
so we are definetively moving backwards. everyone his own country? beautiful...

Yup, its basically a third world practice. HIV and witchcraft are also common in Africa.
First of all, I'm not Jewish -- I'm Scots-Irish-American. Religious fixations??? Circumcision is routinely practiced, in the USA, Philippines, South Korea, and many countries in Africa, which are mostly Christian -- or at least, not Jewish.

You or your family are 1000 times more likely to accidentally kill yourself before you are ever attacked in your home. If you have a gun there is no point to flash it, train to use it and use it. Its not a badge.
No, not really.
If someone attacks me in my house with a gun I'd rather have a gun;If they don't you can just flash it and you don't have to hurt any one.

I'm thinking more along the lines of home invasion.

It being going on for a long time and the poloce don't care becuase its probably not illegal/impossible to prove, like most countries where it occurs - UK included.
It's good to continue to get the word out as this sort of thing shines poorly on your city when it's been going on for so long. The local police obviously don't give a hoot. That was the biggest shock when we realized they were likely in on the scam.

The scam is deniers propaganda machine trying to promote an image of scientific discussion, whereas there is scientists on one side being denied by journalists, Oil company PR, politicians and ignorant bullshitters.
An idea can't be a scam. The scientific community and anybody capable of understanding their research would have to be in on some grand conspiracy. More is know about global climate change than about gravity, which is also just a theory. Or biological evolution, for that matter. Do you believe in gravity, or is that just a scam, too?

Correct.

The debate took place during the 1980s and the overwhelming view of the scientific community is that the earth is warming due to human activity.

If Shale gas con be produced in sufficent quantity then we will see coal fired plants in Poland, the trick is to get someone else to PAY for these plants. So in a way I think Poland maybe doing the right thing.
Your arguments are crap.
I'd think forward-looking Poland would realize it's much cheaper in the long run just to build the gas plants than to keep shoving CO2 underground. Poland has already cut emissions fairly drastically, another twenty percent seems perfectly doable

The numbers disprove what you say. TV is dying with its older viewers.
You don't seem to be aware that you can download and watch everything that is on TV within hours, often in HD, often before its broadcast in the local region and without adverts. There is ways of getting dozens of TV channels for free, including sports channels. With the money saved you can buy a DVD/Bluray collection.
