Language / Not sure if I will be able to speak Polish [53]

From my personal experience, English is definitely easier to pick up than Polish. I started learning English and Polish at the same time when I was a little kid. I spoke Polish with my family and I spoke English with my friends from school. Polish grammar is what really throws me off a lot. I always end up screwing up the verbal conjugations even though I've been speaking Polish since the day I could talk. There is also the fact that a lot of vocabulary is alien-like. Someone earlier in this thread said that's not true but it actually is. Sure, there are some words that are similar to English but most words are MUCH different.

It depends on what your native language is. For some people there are many more alien-like words in the English than Polish language.

Yes, I know this. I was talking about the perspective of a native English speaker since that is what I believe the original poster was implying to be.

Of course there are different dialects, accents etc that may complicate things, but that's another matter.

I completely agree with this.

Life / What Do Poles think of Finns? [50]

I also heard that Finns are allowed to keep guns at home but murders/deaths by firearms are very low. Civilised nation! :):):):)

Yes, socialist ******* like to make you believe that guns are bad but the truth is that the right to bear arms actually decreases crime.

I'm an American and I proudly own firearms. There was actually a town in Arkansas that required all household families to own a firearm. As soon as this law was passed, crime incidents were cut in half.

The whole idea that allowing people to own guns will bring crime up is only a myth made up by idiotic liberals.

Not only liberals, not only.

I have stated many facts and all you did was come up with ******** stories that "could happen" in your mind.

Believe me, if criminals want a gun, they will easily gain access to one no matter what the law is. You have no idea how many incidents there have been where American families were able to protect themselves from criminals thanks to owning guns.

Let me ask you this. If I didn't own a gun, what the hell am I supposed to do if a criminal busts into my house? Sure, I could call the cops but by the time they got to my house I could already be dead and all my belongings might be stolen.

Sure...Why did 4 cops have to die in Washington state just recently? What about Columbine? Do I have to list all those killings that happened only because weapons are so readily available to every nutjob who wants one? That guns bring crime down is only a myth made up by idiotic conservatives.

Again, you don't seem to understand how easy it is to get guns illegally in the United States. All of those incidents would've happened even if guns were illegal. Also, you're only showing your ignorance by saying that any nutjob can get firearms. The process to getting a firearm legally is a little more complicated than you think(it varies by the jurisdiction too).
