News / Repopulating Poland with Ukrainians? [67]
Pawian has already raised this issue some time ago. It's not just a case of decreasing fertility rates but also that Polish couples are migrating and starting families in other countries. I think this is the real problem. I think Poland will have enough immigrants (who will be starting families) over the next 10-20 years to counter this. It really isn't a major issue. Irelands had the same issue for a long time now. They're still here.

UK, Ireland / Fertile Polish Women in the UK [87]
So you're a hypocrite as well as a racist?
It has already been mentioned about the age of the Polish migrant workers.
Many of these young couples are either married or get married in the UK and start a family. Something that they are perfectly entitled to do.
If you don't like living in an EU country with all the benefits (no, not welfare) that go with that, feel free to leave.
The UK and Poland are member states of the EU. Fortunately for all of us, most politicians are a lot smarter than you are.
Housing Benefit is for African/Jamaican breeding machines. NOT Polish

But it's the same effect just at a later stage down the road. My sperm are alive, but unless they fertilise an egg, they're gunna die.
This is why I say that these decisions should be between the mother and the doctors. We can debate this ad infinitum but it won't change anything.
Rather than make people feel bad for making such a difficult decision, and just condemn the decision, I believe we should try to understand why they have made that decision.
It's certainly not the easy option a lot of people think, and women certainly don't take it lightly.

No, I don't consider masturbation murder. Neither do I consider contraception to be murder. But neither do I consider an abortion to be murder.
It's the same thing just at different stages of fertilisation/pregnancy.
Basically, either way you are preventing life. Everything else is just semantics and nothing to do with morals IMO.
Would you agree?

I've done that. You seem to be asking Foreigner4 to debate this topic with you, which he seems to be avoiding.
As for my request to you, do you agree that the term 'murderer' can apply to either party (it takes two to tango) depending on the stage of contraception/abortion...
When does life begin? I dunno. But, surely anyone using contraception is just as guilty as someone who doesn't and this results in an abortion..?
Your turn... :D

P3Undone, can I quickly have a brief debate with you on this issue of abortion?
I'm neither pro-life nor pro-choice, although I can see both sides of the arguement.
Women shouldn't use abortion because they can't be bothered with birth control, or their bfs can't be bothered to use condoms. I'll agree with that.
But also, sometimes there are situations when a woman really feels that an abortion is the best solution (I know about fostering & don't want to discuss that option).
But, can I discuss this particular point.
Tonight, I can meet with someone, wear a condom and prevent a potential life. I'm a murderer!
I don't wear a condom and someone gets pregnant. They have an abortion - now they're the murderer!
This is crudely my take on abortion. Any comments?

In life for various reasons people can find themselves in these situations. I believe that people need a hand-up and not just a hand-out.
Unfortunately, the USA is a country that promises a lot but offers very little. It doesn't matter whether you're Polish, Mexican or 'American' the govt and society will sh*t all over you.
Being homeless in such a country cannot be much fun for anyone, especially in NYC.
Personally, I think it's a shame that people would rather bash these people than be half a human being and empathise a little...

I quite agree. So many people here are working two jobs or going to university (and still working) you would think that their sleeves cannot be pulled up much more.
Poland does not set the EU's spending budget, they can only apply like anyone else. French farmers have been milking the system for years.
They have at least fought off recession, a feat which most other EU countries (who somehow believe themselves superior) failed to do.

But the thread is about why cicumcision is NOT practised in Poland. We are all well aware that this is very popular in the States though as this article from NBC news suggests:
msnbc.msn.com/id/16776931/ns/health-childrens_health/t/cut-or-not-circumcision-controversy-flares/
The United States leads the way in the number of babies circumcised each year. Estimates vary widely, ranging from 50 percent to more than 90 percent of newborn boys circumcised, depending on the region of the country (federal data from 1999 showed hospital circumcision rates of 81 percent in the Midwest, 66 percent in the Northeast, 64 percent in the South and 37 percent in the West) and religion (the Jewish and Muslim faiths traditionally call for circumcision). In Europe, Asia and Latin America, baby boys are not routinely circumcised, and the circumcision rates here have been dropping steadily over recent years.
In Europe most of us still have our Thorskins! And we're very proud of it:P
