News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2971]


<_<

derp?

I will, if required, shout in the streets my right to SLAY (not murder-Im EATING it) a fellow biological non human and EAT it! be it carrot, fish , fowl or beast.

So, are you gonna start on how Lions and other obligate carnivores should be vegan? what of the life that is in the trees that sustain us? The vegetation we eat. So next is pills of fake nutrients that we shall take until we sicken , die and go extinct ? 0 _0. I mean that is where that logic ends at ya know

Was that really the best argument that could be found?

Would I consider an egg "life"? Certainly. But I can easily announce my intent to remove life from something and give the motivation..its material is my sustanence. It is biological imperative that I process it's life to extend my own. Abortion does not fit that category in 80% ? of cases? Motivation for those is: Oops! Must kill for Convenience/quality of consumer lifestyle.

Hardly comparable I would think.
When candy coating of dehumanizing words is removed..abortion is killing a life. No matter if the decision is legalized or not.. approved of or not.

The biggest question is does the mother have the right to take this life out of the world, specially when a majority think one shouldnt remove the life of the most sick and degenrate criminal murderer and instead reap the taxes needed to sustain him. Personally I'd feel better with emptier prisons via death penalty (yes KILLING..but not an innocent new life. Or just consider it- RETROACTIVE ABORTION) and those funds going to Orphanages that actually have tools to RAISE children and FIND them foster families if not permanent love.

Murder is a very personal decision. I cannot make anyone do what I think is right. I just don't want my taxes paying for it.

Life / Abrupt Poles explained ! [51]


English was my third/fourth language... the most spoken were Bohemian Czech and Portuguese. Also Basque, German, Castal, Cherokee and smatterings of celtic. as reflected where we started and where we'd been. My full Russian in -laws spoke, dominican sp. , 3 dialects of chinese, thai, french and german. And english of course.

I fell in love with spoken Polish for thinking it "softer" than Russian, Czech(with exceptions of certain words), German, Cherokee. even Basque my ears still remember. I like it better than french. The person I exchange language with is quite personable and polite.

When I saw this post I was curious but really couldn't see it..and "rudeness" only direct answering and pragmatic logic.

And my dearest is ever so polite in speaking in English. Genteel. He was abrupt at times.. like when leaving call. Not so much now that we are involved.

Makes me feel like m'lady is gonna get tacked on any second. and he is nothing but kind and helpful to his two younger sisters that barge in his room on any given. Even when annoyed he doesn't raise voice or say very rude things (that I can tell).

Inflections sound like a raised voice sometimes but the content points it as tonal.

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [512]

Though I could in theory maybe have a lil Pole in me.. (since my Bohemian bloodlines Weis and Baginksi came from Prague at a point in history that my research stopped? ) My only real connection is the man that has asked for my hand to marry and the fact that current plan is to move there from the States in 5-6 years. So I have that amount of time to get .."pol-arized" ^_^ so I may feel at home quicker.

yes im bored and up too late

Life / Prevalence of Autism/Asperger's in Poland? [6]


Got it in 2. Though my spelling was incorrect.
Changling stories are in my family bugaboos.

And here I had a child that was reading simple books (dick and jane style) , bilingual, named his own pets and got up early one morning to do dishes to a child wild eyes and spinning and incapable of speech or understanding instruction in less than 7 days after 24 hr fever and trip to ER.


ah here is the info. Though he had no personal knowledge of anyone close, so was unsure. But my Lech was worried that my son may not get need therapies and accomodation in school while it counted, if I come east to him. Especially after he read up on the condition later.

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [58]


In insects; I only have true allergy to small sub-hornets called yellow jackets.I can't remember the species anymore.They are small and have nests in alcoves .often in trees or house eaves. and are pretty angry


Wonder why it doesnt come with normal search? Hmmm ..but Poland was one of first nations to make wildlife preserves....even if for a kings hunting pleasure they still wished the species remaining

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]


My Dearest is very pale & "golden" in hair and skin. So are his parents and two sisters. He says also his cousins. All blue eyeed.They are in NE Poland.

My Bohemian bloodlines are Moonflax blondes with with grey eyes until recent generations, than often darken with age sprinkled with redheads and dark walnut hair. The shade of my hair and my skin are actually more from that bloodline even though ironically it makes me look more cherokee. We age very well and very late. and are tall.

My Russian X and his family have greyish blonde hair that is lighter when young but is very silvery and dark by the time they hit 30s with high cheekbones and slanty eyes. His mother was first generation stateside..she was born in China.

My MIL was lovely. Her mum, brother in kids did NOT age well.

What reptiles are common?
Are any poisonous... ?
What posionous insects are there (like fire ants, Recluse, Black Widow)

Language / Need Advice On Polish-English language barrier (my Polish boyfriend and his family) [59]

I wonder if it just these guys are missing some consideration or is it my guy is unusually indulgent for a native.

Back to BF support.....
Though he never suggested about teaching me, when he found out I'm learning he is now amused, flattered and supportive. He said Polish can be a difficult and "tongue breaking" language for some. I can say some things quite well now. I am not ready to practice with him yet since I really want our time while separate devoted to something other like lessons. And I'm afraid he will let me get away with more mistakes. ^_^

But I'd be very hurt and somewhat uneasy if he discouraged my learning AND put me in situations where it was all that was spoken around me : (

I am also not under pressure to learn, which may make me able to feel better practicing. I WANT to learn, just for me. Even if he ditched me tomorrow-it is still a present to myself

My biggest obstacle is sounds I cannot even make proper in English. Types of G H and S. Though it is all I speak now, English was not my first language, heh not even my second.

A small advocating for the devil: Not everyone can teach or will attempt. My mom could not teach me to drive a stick or ride a motocycle ...she simply did not have the patience despite keenly wanting me to do so. Nor could my former spouse. But when I learned, my teacher taught me within a week.

Love / Should I forgive my cheating Polish girlfriend? [73]


She broke trust..it taints a relationship forever. And rarely can be worked past. Plus they say once a cheater always a cheater... So was the case with my cheaters.

A little consequence fell because you indulged her for being younger than you; rather than hold her to a standard at least respective to her adulthood.

You would not be an idiot , but you would be a masochist. The whole situation says she respects you not. :(

Call it a day and look for some bandages to wrap your heart and heal. There are many lovely wonderful; girls out there than can love you for yourself , and be faithful and supportive. She might someday, but not likely do it for you.

I am so sorry for you... I have been there and it Sucked

News / 2012 - 2013 Will be the most severe Polish winter. [38]

I ve heard that it is expected to be unusual winter both at my mom's (NC usa) and home (AZ usa)
not heard much here in FL. Nothing about "coldest" though . Just colder than usual or miserable

What are Polish Winters like.. I like crisp, dry, snowy winters as oposed to drizzley damp greay ones

Life / Blasphemy not OK in Poland! [54]

I must say seems a bit strict... but was it ALREADY a law?
If so; he gets what was coming to him..regardless what the law was or if he had any "respect" for it. Especially breaking a law in a public manner *shrug*

Doesn't matter to me if it is speed limit, litter, health dept (dog poo & such), hitting someone or spitting on the sidewalk. I have to adjust from state to state when there are things different. We still have states with dry counties opposed to wet and with blue laws. With exceptions..most statutes are selected in ballots as yay or nay in Propositions. So its what that locality majority more. And I certainly enjoy FL sharing many of my home of record AZ's gun carry laws.

US stilll has several states with blasphemy laws on books..some made law as late as 1977( is that? Penn? MD?). But 20th century US Supreme Court usually rules them against 1st Amendment when they are brought that high

Though one could get nailed for Anti-semitism in laws if you tear a Tanahk/Torah up in public

Food / Polish roast pigeon anyone? [17]


. ^
Heh.. Exactly... || ^_^

I am kinda funny about food that is tidbits. Only exception is well cooked fish that is eaten whole (liek kippers).
I've eaten and enjoyed many foods not in mainstream; but making a favorite of it? It isn't the taste so much.
It's too much work to eat or worse I have to handle it..... specially since I developed bad habit of near eating whole my food like a winter wolf (I know my father spins in his grave every time I have supper).

I do not eat buffalo wings often or short ribs for same reasons. I enjoy hunting small game for the challenge but not frequent since I don't "sport" hunt. If its is not going on my plate, I am not hunting it.

Food / Polish roast pigeon anyone? [17]

No Squab for me... it is in the; not good for anything but pie; category of small game. And may not be safe to eat if city bird.

If I was starving ..eh. in the pie or soup they go.

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]


Taki Dzie w ___ _____? I see Szee as Dzie. If you speak it sloppy like me.

And that could be a " A day In"

but it would be colleqial and not literally "in hell" (like my Hunny telling me to be very careful saying how much I like to have ice cream if I talk about it same way in Polish as I do English. I had him so cracked up. I guess it is allergorical for...<_< >_> BJ?)

It doesnt sound much like Bohemian in that context..but I havent heard it spoken since I was little

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [58]

MMm.. "good"..that may be in the eye of beholder..... more like indulgent and accomodating , specially in small stuff

Now back to critter talk... I saw posted somewhere on here absolutely ADORABLE red squirrels. I loved my pet squirrels when I had one. Even had one in my house recent for nearly amonth before I could catch him and throw hin out...a baby one. I as sooo tempted but my son is a bit rough for wee pets.

And wood buffalo? Native?

Wasn't Poland the last country to have living Aurochs in modern day ?

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [58]

heh I would think so... not how it works I guess. (He got all embarrassed over it when I asked what luck they bring anyway so I didn't press)

Not mention if those big ugly monsters were in the house afterwords (maybe polish storks are diffrent?).
Still a huge nest on one house must be a pain in some way. But if they are lucky ..well they can join my rosemary sprigs, horseshoes over door, rabbit foot in left pocket (poor rabbit didnt find it lucky -I know), a corner spider, cricket in comon room and a blue door. ^_^

If he thinks it, I will indulge.....

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [58]

Heh Storks..! My BF says they are lucky. I had a dream that our chimney collapsed because of Roc's nest. He got excited and said it was a stork's nest and lucky. Um.okay

I saw some up close in germany visiting family when I was little..they are kinda scary! No ...are scary

Those piggies make me think of javelina the way the little ones are colored. Ive hunted pig in Texas and Sonoma Co. CA
THIS is what I see in my mind when I hear "wild pig"

UK, Ireland / Polish women in UK caught involved in prostitution scheme [39]


If not illegal technically...
Maybe it was not paying taxes..or not having a business license?
Though cross border and release of potential victims of trafficking sounds ominous

News / UN names Warsaw world's 19th most prosperous city [6]

SO .... criteria:if you had large immigration influx, have a settled, modernized city, have some growth and employment available and finally everyone is equally able not not afford overhead and draw benefits..you win? 0_o

If it was growth and employment alone, they woudl have to explain why native people go to work in other countries.

Okay; that is pessimist view, but I remember when Phoenix Arizona was a GREAT place until NAFTA. Not sure I'd wanna be on the list. Now it is near my broadcast time, so I take my grumpy self away.... throw some lime, vodka asn crushed ice in my lemons and make margeritas

History / "Westerner's" most ridiculous beliefs about the time of communism in Poland [73]

I dont know if I would be considered average Westerner...

It was highly romanticized when mentioned in my family... or at Church. Though Poland was not singled out often in itself and not just "one of the betrayed" behind the iron curtain. When mentioned it was like moral freedom fighters clinging to ethinic identity and not forsaking the Church to embrace the State religion of (cue* dramatic music and indrawn breath) communism like some countries did. Church alwasy wanted to "help" and asked for donations in that regard.

My father (he was QUITE a bit older than my mum) had also served with some Polish officers during his time as pilot in WWII and added his own spin of favorable review.

*snerk*

In general? belief about life behind curtain was controlled access to infomation and goods with strict reprisals for "mavericks" and religious suppression.

Love / I live in Holland and i never meet a good polish guy. [33]

OP: You are not clear what you define as "good" in your criteria

Even nationality aside....... it is hard for anyone to suggest best place to look without knowing-

Your age or a lil older?
Working or established in a career
Looks : don't matter? well enough or is very handsome
"pure" or halfer?
On his own or with family support local?
Classy or casual?
Polite/mannered?
Gallante?
Marrying kind?

In the latter criteria you are more than likley than not to meet a "nice boy" of marrying kind at church. Catholic church probably, if Polish.

Even then you have to sift some..bad boys are everywhere...specially abroad. In my family (we are catholic Bohemians and Portuguese) it has been caught that "good catholic boys will sleep with non catholic girls but only marry a catholic...even in this day and age.

Otherwise especially if you are stuck on nationality..maybe go where a larger Polish community is or go to college/get a job in Poland?

Food / Any królik (rabbit) fanciers on PF? [76]


I've had Moose jerky but don't know if that would be fair representation of taste. Never had any caribou in any form.
Never hunted either. I did hunt Bison allowed to free range on my land in Texas before I had to sell it.

Food / Any królik (rabbit) fanciers on PF? [76]

Not big fan of small game like squirrel, quail and the like. Squirrel and some rabbit is a bit gamey but I do like rabbit. It is very chicken like in flesh when good. I have had most of these in casserole or pie, but will eat rabbit as a meat. I like larger meat cuts but if I'm filing larder by hunting I will pick up rabbit for freezing and eating later.

I like venison. I loooove antelope. Elk is very good.

Life / Who's the best looking (and acting/singing) celebrity in Poland? [32]


had to look: obmawiamy.pl/02/tomasz-karolak-lubi-wystawne-zycie-5418
not my type in genral but Oh magawd..his smile is adorable (or is that just my fetish liking modest gap in front teeth showing?)

Actually a singer I am fond of , Andrzej Piaseczny was quite a hottie and a good looking guy now.

There is a polish descent soccer player, plays for Czech team? one of our US...*kaf!* 'celebrities' was toting on her arm for a while

Love / How can I make my Polish guy comfortable while in States? [12]


Oh no..only Charlemagne Belize for my choco-holic (how did you know?) since he is susceptible to additives and dairy. Visiting trip abroad?Hmm. And I loved my bimmer but think he might wish a mustang

Cooking I have covered I think. I can make pirogie from scratch... to start. And crepes (omlete) He actually doesn't eat a lot of "Polish "food. Lots of chicken and Pizza when alone. I think I eat more "polish" dishes simply from cooking czech. He is a teetotaler as well. Bottled water & Tea (and chocolate).

As for the family, I hope time and missing him will make them relent. But I'm sure a few well thought gifts can sway the sisters (little one sneaks and talks to me on skype when he goes to kitchen already. Asked me why somebody pretty like me even talks to him...lol! , funny lil girl) and even the dad. Mum and set a of grandparents? maybe never *sigh*

And I'm catholic...though bowing and scraping to a husband's mother in law was already a given >_<


Aw geez I was just being saucy... I believe if that happened so, paramedics would become involved at some point!
I am sure that the excitement of such a long separation will settle to nice day to day living. Though I was looking for :"(as opposed to what men in general want)"

Life / Poles and the temperatures they heat their homes [36]

Wait 27 degrees F or C.... I saw this and thought BRRRRR below freezing!
But 27 c is quite cozy. I keep mine at 75f because bill :(

I dont even use AC cold in FL. I am always cold and moving back to AZ asap! Honey will love it there, but better keep cover and sunscreen in Valley.

Wow! Im glad you were not present when I drowned. You'd have told the crowd 'so tragic- lets move on' with a hand wave at my corpse!

The combat medic that abalone diving earlier refused to give up because my dog tags showing a fellow soldier. He busted a heart beat and gave me mouth to mouth for TWO HOURS non stop while awaiting paramedics . I would not have lived unassistedfor that time. And I had been under and missing long enough to safely presume dead (over 15 minutes- I was so lucky.... and those of us with faith would say blessed.. my wooden crucifix floated my dog chain out of the collar of my wetsuit and a fishing hook caught it and I was drawn up. Ft Ross region of coast 1991. There is more to story, but not my point here)

Life / Who are the Polish singers (Classical or Folk songs) [11]


This is more a style that I like when not headbanging..I like bluesy romantic music sung in smooth heldentenor ranges

Har-d-har-har wiesinheimer! He is male of course that would add weight to his anchor!
*blush* but ducking behind a corner every 5 minutes and being called back again...when will we have time to work? eat?

Heh, our plans went awry this year with the Visa delaying so long that he had to attend school again; so when we see each other this summer I dont' even think his chivalrous primness will save him from himself..or me...
