History / Origins of Polish Slavs [138]

The Austrian historian, Walter Pohl, is an expert in the porcess of emerging ethnic identities in the Middle Ages.

Austrian kind of introduction. Apologetic. Negative bias toward phenomenon from the start.

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

And Jewish patriarchs may have started the practise for hygiene in the desert as well as the prevention of onanism, which also causes desensitization.

My guess was that it had to do something with the climate. Not knowing enough I have to assume a lot ...

Circumsised or not you have the same chance of cervical cancer provided you have less than six partners.

Why six, why not seven, ten? For example...?

women that grew up in countries where it isn't practiced.

women (most of them at least) that probably haven't even experienced a snipped one.

women that have boyfriends/husbands with unsnipped ones that are obviously going to be partial, regardless of what they really think out of respect for their man.

There is no difference, at least I heard so : )))

I have a friend who during his history studies following his newly born religious motives, feeling like a Jesus :) decided to perform that intervention, found a willing surgeon, and revealed the results, oversensitivity followed by desensitization at the end if I recall well. Why would anybody want to feel less there where more is possible and when ultimate phantasy is sexual in its nature? ;)

( I have two more friends who during their adolescence had to be operated because of careless promiscuity, I heard more about the topic than needed from first.... hand? :)))))) In general, they were not thrilled with the results.....

Off-Topic / I am Polish and I am offended. [52]

You really should try and improve your English, over pompous psycho-babble is tiresome to read.

I am just citing relevant literature on social attitudes. Knowing that you are talking to a nurse on daily basis, I almost can feel how 'pompous' ordinary psychological terminology hurts on your side.

Thanks for your interest in my personal characteristics.

Nothing to thank for really, I usually initiate some sort of causal analysis, to give myself an answer why is person X thinking, feeling, behaving like that. nothing personal.

Isthatu2, I post only using this username.

Off-Topic / I am Polish and I am offended. [52]

and political attitude do I have according to you.

Attitudes come in clusters, social science says so. It is more likely that person who is pro life will be also visiting church on Sundays, be against gay communities, and vote for the right part of the politicalspectrum.

Unless your cognition deviates a lot from normal human being you are also probably holding more or less coherent views on different subjects, including political.

Just wondering why you assume that you know me so well. Please carry on.

I don't know you nor that is needed, i just read here and there something you wrote, you are ordinary human like everyone else here. Trener Zolwia would call you lib.

see that you didn't understand the premise of my post

There was one? ;)

Not cool.

Long period you spent in Canada is a very plausible explanation for your current political attitudes. Different cultural model that you embraced is by some posters aggressively imposed to the rest of the forum. Sometimes the model that 'must prevail' is encountering resistance that I see as good counterbalance to tendencies that emerged in special circumstances and now are senselessly imposed to other cultures.

See it as a special case of fight for rights to be different on macro level. We should tolerate the differences. No double standards for molar (society) and molecular level (individual).

I fully understand an ethic Pole who feels like a Pole and nurtures pro Polish sentiments. Just because she or he has the RIGHT to feel that way.

Off-Topic / I am Polish and I am offended. [52]

You were subject of different socialization (or aculturalization)in Canada compared to typical Pole, being an immigrant in your heimat again. Plus you are germanophile and Polish. That preference usually blurs or distorts one's perception. And it is kind of contradictio in adjecto when person is a Pole.

News / History lessons no more in Poland (Tusk's change) [61]

In Poland Tusk's government implemented change in schools in Poland. Reducing number of history lessons to almost non existence.
What do you think ?

Better than changing the program when the winds keep changing directions and blow from east to west then west to east changing the climate each time.

it should be banned ; )

edit

History has the relation to truth that theology has to religion - i.e., none to speak of.

Hehe.

Love / Woman 23, man 47 years old. What do you think about ? [162]

If I were 47 year old man I would be very curious about motives of my 23 year old girlfriend and my own. Both options, Pygmalion or father figure are not good foundation for solid structures.

Language / "żółwik" - the same word?? [55]

This I think is in the domain of sociolinguistic. I compared German, English and Serbo croatian (Russian a bit too) and differences are surprising. We seem to have more develop some, for us more relevant concepts , hence many synonyms or words that slightly differ in meaning. Same examples of much more elaborated concepts in English in German compared to my mother tongue.

People in cold ares have words denoting different types of snow, other types of sand, some tribal society (I forgot the name) knew only for three words for colors , black, red and white I think, and researchers gave them various colors, they categorized them in existing three categories, all solved the problem. Their lack of more subtle discrimination was explained with irrelevance of the differentiation for their survival in some jungle.

Anyway, interesting way to discover the worlds behind the languages.

Genealogy / Being ashamed of Polish ancestry? [156]

To be honest when I speak face to face with western people I feel somewhat inferior even in my own country. But I guess it has much to do with the fact that my interlocutor speaks better english.

Those sentences revealed that this couldn't be Crow in disguise using username Slavia :)

Why feeling of inferiority Slavia. why.

Aren't we all just ordinary people? (If this sentence hurts, send me a PM I might help you.)

Off-Topic / Book: Gogol's Taras Bulba [37]

Bulgakov

'Second grade freshness' (The Master and Margarita) is for me to this day the funniest phrase I encountered in literature. Always makes me smile.
Smile :)

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]

Are you sure that it isn't the other way around, hungarian borrowings in Slavic languages?

I understand those two :) The first one aways sounded to me like the most important of Ottoman heritage in this area, for the second I was almost certain it was originally hungarian word.

Love / POLISH WOMEN ARE PROMISCUOUS? DISCUSS. [153]

Previous survey, US, showed:

The results of the 2010 survey broke down like this:

At What Point Does A Woman Become Sexually Promiscuous?

Never? 14%
When she sleeps with her 10th partner? 41%
When she sleeps with her 20th partner? 34%
When she sleeps with her 50th partner? 14%
When she sleeps with her 100th partner? 3%

Few years ago I heard for some insane definition given by allegedly WHO or some similar organization saying that if number of partners exceeds one per year, person should fulfill the high standards to be one of the stigmatized. Then 90 % of women are sluts.

I doubt the source, it was a rumor of one conservative MD.

Love / What are Polish Women like? Just started to date one. [256]

This was my only smile today :)

You are my soul brother. I would describe the scene in similar way. Only this 'massage of breasts' is a bit soft prnish, slapping the udder creating the chain action- reaction on the neglected one.

Love / Unmarried couples in Poland = pathology [310]

Marriage is freedom?

Yes, in the same way as War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength.

I doubt most men can feel this liberation.

Some women as well. I see that 'yes, I do' people say in front of the registrar like a kick on the chair person stands on while rope around her neck is keeping her/him connected to the ceiling. A kick, one yes, and the chair is gone.

Or earlier I saw a milder fantasy of opened coffin, person says I do, goes inside and somebody closes the coffin. The kids would be nails in the coffin in that version.

;)

But those are just my fantasies. Nothing similar happens in reality ;)

p.s.
but as we are taught by the society we are programmed, if we are healthy, to be able to love and work. Why was it interpreted in those extreme ways I have no clue. Neither work, nor those insane marriages with clause' till the graveyard tear us apart'.
