History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [586]

If Obwarzanek Krakowski does or has already received European protected status it will still end up being called a Krakow Bagel as obwarzanek would be too much of a mouthful for English toungues. (pun intended).

I've always seen the humbler, non-twisted, smaller holed variety as being a Polish-Jewish import here in the UK and it seems that way in the US also. So you may not be appreciative of them within Poland but you should pay your dues(another pun!) for being one of Poland's notable exports, possibly second only to wodka in popularity and prominence.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [586]

I know one Polish person who eats bagels. So I am sorry you are wrong.

I found this a article a little interesting on Krakow pride in obwarzanki
online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703794104575545843564259642.html

'Maria Balinska, author of "The Bagel: The Surprising History of a Modest Bread," disputes the idea that the obwarzanek has a distinct origin. She says the two breads started off as pretty much the same thing, but with different names in Yiddish and Polish. She interviewed older Krakow residents as part of her research, who said the two breads were indistinguishable as recently as the 1930s.'

'"They look pretty much the same, and both are based on a pretty simple premise," says Patrick Vaughan, a 45-year-old American who has been living in Krakow for about 10 years.'

'Like other obwarzanek lovers, Ms. Biedo is steeped in the bread's lore. She recounts the tale of a group of Polish soldiers who are said to have beaten back a German onslaught in 1410 after scarfing obwarzanek.'

'Krakow's campaign for the obwarzanek started several years ago, after Kazimierz Czekaj, a baker here, noticed that foreigners and even the local press were increasingly referring to the bread as a bagel.'

'Both breads, she says, most likely derived from a white, braided German specialty-the pretzel.'

For me if it's round with a hole and boiled before baking, it's in the bagel class.

News / Repopulating Poland with Ukrainians? [67]

It seems they are trying to suite those estimates under some classical Nazi theory...

Not quite. It was originally postulated and later proved that there is a direct relation between IQ and an ample, balanced diet free of toxins. A case in point is that the Scottish IQ is 3-4 points lower than an English one, the Scottish being notorious for eating junk.

As for the one about brain size, a correlation(which never proves causation, btw) of 0.4 is laughable in scientific terms. That site isn't actually a medical journal it's a forum where any plonker can contribute and it seems any fool believe(not directed to anyone in particular). One can google about Einstein's brain, which was smaller than average, to see what really matters relating to the intelligent mind.

There is a correlation of 0.99 (near as certain as can be other than 1.0) between School grades and IQ. The attachments show the results by ethnicity over the past years in the UK.

Life / Old Polish (Russian) Films [9]

I always cried when I watched it as a boy. My mother also cried when she watched how the boy plays the violin. Her greatest dream was to turn me into such a violinist. I tried hard in the music school, but had to give up due to unexpected circumstances.

Your life of crying, family crying together, thwarted dreams... ultimately triumphing with a passion for photography replacing your quashed ambitions to be a violin virtuoso and teaching children well and showing them all the beauty they possess inside, sounds like it would make a good Russian movie.

News / Achievements of the Tusk's Polish government [532]

Last week Solidarity led a picket for days in front of Parliament to protest a law raising the retirement age. After lawmakers passed the bill Friday, enraged Solidarity activists prevented some lawmakers from leaving the building and a scuffle ensued.

[Lech] Walesa said elected lawmakers must be respected and that the protesters deserved a beating.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

I reckon it's got more to do with Polish people having little exposure to people of other nations. Britain comes last because we have just about everyone here so more dispersion due to choice. In the Polish sticks, if they don't find other Poles to be attractive they ain't going to be getting laid or never going to get hold of their ideal beauty unless they leave, in which case they won't have there opinion counted. Something in the chart suggests Poles have beer goggles on, I can't quite put my finger on it. ;)

There is a dating website that refuses ugly people that has refused Polish more than any other for overrating their own beauty . The Danish came out tops for the least rejections.

Genealogy / I love Asiatic influences in Polish peoples' faces [59]

I myself doubt it is significant in the amount there is or what it means to be a modern Pole(Not sure which way you meant it). I remember reading somewhere Nazi Germany would bang on about how Czechs were not Europeans but actually mongols. But as I said earlier I had heard mongols moved away before Slavs moved in, possibly through the same corridor.

You are right, the mongols were in Poland, however they didn't leave, they mixed and created today's Poles

So I guess you are saying that those with any Mongolian blood in them are the most indigenous to that region.

Genealogy / I love Asiatic influences in Polish peoples' faces [59]

Poles who don't recognize it, deny its past and roots. I get the impression that Poles want to feel like they were scandinavians, while in Scandinavia, Poles are only seen as cheap immigrants from eastern europe

When you consider Finland was once part of Sweden (by some classifications) a part of Scandinavia and also the blondest people in the world it is surprising that they also have more Asian DNA than any other European country.

I was always under the impression the Mongols were there (in what is now Poland) then left and was only then filled with what are now Poles - Indo-Europeans.

Most blokes I know, if the had warrior mongol blood in them, even a vague chance of being 1/1024th Mongolian, it would be a boast to tell to others. Maybe it's different for girls.

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

My Indian doctor told me everyone should wear a turban. This is healthier as there is less chance of a head injury, so obviously we should all be wearing turbans for health reasons.

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

'First of all, just for everyone keeping score at home', The American medical community no longer(but once did) recommend the cut.
Ad hominem?? Who said I was talking about you? ( Now that the mods have become so much stricter...)

Secondly, you can talk about a foreskin, but your statement "There's more 'give' when erect, with a foreskin, without which the shaft skin will be taut and motionless like a plastic dildo" , is vulgar and medically incorrect.

No. Even dumbed-down wikipedia says that a amputating the foreskin leaves a woman drier. A circumcised penis is undoubtedly less animated. It's just up or down. Hard or soft. There's no peek-a-boo.

Using profanity and fables or intentionally false statements, all make your arguments weak. Masters and Johnson are the world's leaders in sexual related research and they state that there is no decrease in sexual pleasure and many men who were circumcised as adults report increased sexual pleasure.

I googled for it. 40 yr old data that wasn't even peer reviewed and brought up more criticism of their research more than anything else. Did you know they also claimed the size doesn't matter? Increased senses? Less say it increased than not(Again from wikipedia). In the UK(nhs) it is a treatment of last resort and the primary reason for not doing so is reduced sensitivity during sex.

What's more, I know it's totally random, but the ad here, for Terrasil is for guys who are uncircumcised and have Balanitis.
Modanifil, this product is 100% guaranteed to stop painful swelling and infection. Circumcised guys don't ever use or need this product. Take care.

Yes, that's great there isn't the need for surgery, that it is so easy to get rid of instead of the drastic surgical measure. Though I wash mine; the cause is poor hygene not the foreskin. Did you know you can halve the chance of testicular cancer by having a ball cut off. Though I will only have my hair and nails cut - dead matter not living flesh.

There's more 'give' when erect, with a foreskin, without which the shaft skin will be taut and motionless like a plastic dildo. Though I'm sure the extra friction may be welcome if you have a small girth.

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

Unfortunately they only show a short term lower rate of 1.3% as opposed to 3% who have nasty complications from the operation.

However, based on another African report, men circumcised in Africa could be subject to a complication rate of 35% for a traditional circumcision or 18% for a clinical circumcision.

The studies were not consistent with other evidence. African national population surveys in eight countries found a higher rate of HIV infection among circumcised men compared to men who were not circumcised. There are at least 17 observational studies that have not found any benefit from male circumcision in reducing HIV transmission.

Among developed countries, the United States has the highest circumcision rate and the highest rate of heterosexually transmitted HIV. Other countries have lower rates of HIV infection than the United States and do not practice circumcision

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

What??? Bullspit?? I was making the point that she has the right to believe any fantasy she wants?? Did you even read her post, or are you defending that racist notion as well??

The bullspit Jon pointed to about Darwin who never said anything so stupid as 'different races are descendants of different types of apes'. I don't see the racism in Terri's post, though it is true that exposure desensitizes the most physically sensitive part of a man''s body and I thank God that mine has its own protective holster which also helps entry more comfortable for a woman(There's an engineering term for the low friction method of delivery but the name escapes me). I know after a shower if my foreskin doesn't fall back over my knob, any movement excruciatingly uncomfortable with boxers on.

Just because one group doesn't recommend routine circumcision, doesn't negate all of the medical and scientific research that shows the benefits. It's like this -- just because the hospital doesn't sell krill oil doesn't mean it's not healthy. wink wink.

There is a consensus that included gynacologists. As for 60 pro-snipper doctors, what about the other 10,000,000. The Aussie doctor has internet published; not a serious medical journal is in a country that will not perform the cut in any of it's private hospitals.

Jon's already mentioned the pre-emptive cure for HPV which negates the need for surgery.

. It really goes back to the anti-semitic Catholic dogma, which so many Poles blindly follow, and which they try to deny, but the history of anti-semitism perpetuated by the Catholic church is dark, long and also well-documented.

I feel sorry for Poles (sometimes), anything that disagrees with semetic thought and they are labelled anti-semitic. You will find it goes back to St Paul (the Jew) in the bible who stated circumcision is 'pointless'. And Jewish patriarchs may have started the practise for hygiene in the desert as well as the prevention of onanism, which also causes desensitization.

You want to give a reason why the countries with the lowest rates of cervical cancer in the world are the exact same countries that routinely practice circumcision, and to the surprise of our lovely British friends, the countries which don't practice circumcision at all, like Poland and Ireland, and UK have higher rates of Cervical cancer. HHhhhmmmm.

Polish women also have the highest rate of cancer of all types. Can you really blame Polish guys foreskins for brain and pancreatic cancer. General cancer rates are higher in the UK also compared to the US. Britain's incidence is commonly known to be due to higher levels of promiscuity. Circumsised or not you have the same chance of cervical cancer provided you have less than six partners. Can you explain why in America circumsion is decreasing while rates of cervical cancer is decreasing. Or why Australia has lower rates than Israel where cock-snipping is not acceptable in public hospitals at all.

Saudi Arabia has the least incidences not because of cock shape but because it has the lowest levels of promiscuity. Likewise Israel has the highest use of impoted Prostitutes because...

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

Terri, you certainly have the right to believe Darwin's notion that Asians evolved from Orangutans and Blacks from Gorillas,

Here's a 'tip': Don't open with bullspit or expect anything else you have to say to be questioned. I already mentioned it on page one but anyway according to

WebMD

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) does not recommend circumcision as a routine procedure for newborn males. When making this policy, the AAP looked at the possible benefits, risks, and costs of the procedure.1 Other major medical organizations, including the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, agree with the AAP policy.

I noticed a middle-aged woman who was looking at me and smiling. I thought that she must be crazy. Or drunk. Or did she want to have sex with me?

I have wondered why you do so much smiling in your posts on this site - Whether you are crazy or drunk or some type of polosexual.

Strange, but I didn`t notice it yesterday. Where exactly? :):):)

The first part more than the latter parts of m&e. The bits about the system we have being split into exploiter and exploited or proletarians and bourgeoisie being divided by class system/antagonism for production and of exchange in a world market which has ended idyllic relations between man with the majority being poor workers of the world who are prevented from uniting/integrating.

I should tell the thought police of Poland to keep an eye on you, conspirator!

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

Last point, regarding the dictionary translations of Muczyn. Some come up, not with Negro or a version of that, but with Blackamoor, which from what I see in the definitions, is considered offensive.

The omnipotent Google Translate also gives translations that have more derogatory connotations than not. I partly agree with Ironside on #182 if he meant that racism is a lot more than name calling.

Of course he is not racist. You can't be racist against whites and Poles are white. Poor Oxon, what do you want from him?? :))))))

The original meaning has changed in modern English what you are referring to is white supremacist. All we have here is someone scapegoating the Polish. But don't let him put you off England/Britain. The world is Y(ours).

Sometimes there is so much negativity.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.
