Language / Not sure if I will be able to speak Polish [53]
The "t" softens the rz into sh doesn't it?
Lots of Poles pronounce "trz" at the beginning of the word as "cz", so it shouldn't be anything surprising for that person.

Language / Grammar Cases - would "revisiting" english grammar help with learning? [7]
IMO absolutely... Articles, pronouns, prepositions, case: the whole bit.
I often say that I didn't realize how little I knew about my native tongue until I started to learn another language.
Would brushing up on English grammar rules help at all with learning Polish grammar rules?

Life / Handguns Not Needed in Poland? [44]
Between 1995 and 2004, handgun murders in Texas dropped by 18 percent. Gun owners proved to be much less likely than their peers to be arrested for non-violent crimes and violent crimes, including murder. And even though Texas (in 2004) had a population three million larger than when the bill was passed, the overall crime rate was lower in 2004-5,032 crimes per 100,000 Texans, as opposed to 5,478 crimes per 100,000.

Our government should place its trust in us, not the other way around.
Prove it.

The more guns you have in a society the more violent the criminals will be.
Prove it.

It IS our right.
Amen...
Every American I have ever met thinks this is their right
It IS our right.
Being able to defend your house or person is something EVERY person does have and should have.
Amen...

"What about the child thats angry with other kids bullying him at school, he knows where daddys gun is kept, where the bullets are everything. How many more mass murders does America need, once Obama gets through national health guess whats next?? yep thats right."
Sure it is a tragedy; the gun should be secured at home. The larger question is why an adolescent would think that murdering someone is a net positive. The Tabula Rasa will never go after guns. He'd lose that fight hands down.
Right now, the Tabula Rasa is busy trying to convince (making a statement three days after the incident and after his DHS admin says the system works) the citizens of this country that he's capable of keeping them safe.
The last I've heard is that he's tired... Poor baby...
