Thank you Jeanne! Yes I was really born on St. Patricks day as was one of my nephews. My grandmothers parents emigrated from N. Ireland so she was full blooded Irish. She was a smart lady so she married a Pole. I am of primarily Polish, Irish, and N. American descent. As a bartender of Polish ancestry once said to me and my brother as we got fairly drunk, "Jeez, you guys are a f*ckin mess.." We had a good laugh and he bought us a few rounds.

I must admit, the thought of Bonobo having sired an engineering-minded child is somewhat amusing to me.

"When you have a plant you must keep it watered" would be my usage. or, "When you have a plant you must water it"
You've already identified the noun so there is no need to repeat it in the same sentence. "plant" and "soil" are two different things (nouns). You want the plant to recieve water. He is actually thinking very logically because you would apply the water to the soil. It's really a matter of difference in language structure. the fault lies in the English language, not your students head.

A very sad and unfortunate accident. (or negligent act) I wish for the best possible outcome of those affected.

This is something I have always wanted to do, just to see if I would survive.

It's hard to imagine such madness. I think many have real feelings and fear because it is all they have ever known. I suppose all of us live under one delusion or another. It seems to be humanitys curse to be ruled by vermin.

They do. You only hear the most outrageous stories because the news media thrives on conflict and sensationalism.

I don't participate in such things. I'm with Jeanne on the Buy local and small business idea. The Idea of people clamoring for consumer products and treating each other poorly is pretty repulsive to me. Very low class.

Never really considered the de-population of the GDR. It looks like a great opportunity for those willing to take it.

maple syrup and/or maple syrup goodies like cookies, tea/coffee sweetners, etc. They are not known in Poland, hard to get and expensive but people love them when they try them. They can be bought in some upscale delicatessen or health food stores in Warsaw. This is the best one I think. Perhaps a nice card or letter thanking them for their help aswell.

I've become quite interested in this subject lately. I came across this manifesto and wanted get your thoughts on it.
Men’s Rights Manifesto October 5th, 2010 by Pelle Billing
Men in every civilized country have the right to claim: 1.That paternity be routinely established using DNA testing. 2.That an established paternity automatically enable the same rights and responsibilities as an established maternity. 3.That the default arrangement after a separation be joint legal and physical custody of any children; only to be changed if the parents voluntarily decide to do so, or if one of the parties be determined unfit to be a parent by a court of law. 4.That women’s shelters receive no government grants unless they are transformed into human shelters, where all victims of domestic violence can get the help they need (women, men, children). 5.That all human shelters be run professionally, under the same strict standards as those of other social services. 6.That the military be staffed by people who apply voluntarily, and who receive a fair and reasonable compensation for the risks they assume. 7.That conscription be used only for extreme reasons of national safety, and that such a measure be gender neutral. 8.That the principle of “innocent until proven guilty” be upheld at all times, including allegations of rape or sexual harassment. 9.That gender research be as free from ideology as any other academic field. 10.That male expendability be recognized as a major gender issue. 11.That boys be allowed to be proud of their coming manhood. 12.That schools recognize the needs of boys and the learning styles of boys, so as to give them a fair chance of performing well. 13.That men’s groups be given the same legal and practical opportunities as women’s groups to obtain funding. 14.That male sexuality be portrayed in a positive and encouraging manner. 15.That male circumcision only be legal for adults who voluntarily choose this kind of surgery. 16.That prisons be organized in such a way as to prevent rape and other forms of assault. 17.That meritocracy be the governing principle in the labor market, and that all forms of affirmative action and gender quotas disappear. 18.That misandry be opposed just as vehemently as misogyny. 19.That all legislation discriminating against men be made gender neutral or removed. 20.That the historical sacrifice of the male gender role be recognized to the same extent as the historical sacrifice of the female gender role.
