Law / Nasza Klasa, rumoured to be up for sale for €130m [11]


Ok, but it requires too much time to "nurture" it, not like N-K. I wouldn't have time and will to devote such a big amount of real life to transfer it into virtual, internet "life". Rambling on this forum is enough;)) Anyway who needs blogs, chats and such things?

Yeah, and crack houses, so that you know what to expect when you enter.


I just heard of a place in Denmark (I think it was Denmark) where they opened a sort of brothel with... animals. A client can come and pick a sheep or a chicken (?!) or a dog...


I just don't follow that;)


Here we agree.

There are no such pubs only for smokers, unless you mean a crack house.

Hitler's idea was also t ohave Volkswagen. And Henkel aircrafts used to bomb cities. Now Henkel produces detergents. But you say to ban it all right? Ok...


So we must start smoking to be on the good side, if I follow???


Everyones' - to some extent, but it is smokers' choice to smoke. But the smoke affects otehers, like non-smokers and this is where I support the ban.


Are their actions harmful to others? If so - then yes, let's ban it. But for any illegal action a homosexual can face penalty, just as heterosexual or bisexual - doesn't matter.

- fundamental rule of democracy. I'm not judging if it's good or bad (totally different topic) but here it works as usual: the majority dictates the minority...


I think the smokers have bigger problem;).


- That'd be ok, as long as the smokers didn't get the whole interior stink. Smoke if you will, but don't affect others. If you are unwilling to do so, we have a law for that now. That's how I see it.

News / Smoking ban in Polish bars and restaurants (AT LAST!) [400]


This is a fact. According to different research about 21-27 % smoke.


I think it's not that simple. It's like for example putting some amount of Cl disinfecting agent to tap water. It is done to avoid potential water-bourne diseases etc. You don't want that in your water because it changes taste etc.? - Well it's lesser evil, that's all.

I actually agree with what he wrote, only thing I could not agree with was your post. By the way, the car thing was supposed to be a ridiculous example just as your opinion above and you didn't get that either, sorry; my car always starts.

Don't go there without good bouquet of flowers for the mother and a good bottle of vodka for the father. It is like a traditional pay-off for the parents;). It doesn't have to be a bad thing: any mother will look at you better when given flowers and if the father opens the bottle to drink with you then you have made the best impression:)

Thing is that Pilsner Urquell is supposed to taste a bit bitter (bit more than some beers). Maybe it has something to do with the fact it is the only basic [meaning alkaline] beer. That's why it is very good for people with stomack problems.

History / If i could write European history i would unite Europe under Polish language [67]


That's a case in every comparison! There are words in Polish that you won't find in English too. That is a proof for what exactly? Nothing. I hope it's not about saying which language is better, because this would be extremely pointless.

By saying that Polish is more rich and complex than English I meant many different aspects altogether, lexis being one of them. And estimating just the number of words in a language is impossible as that are open sets.

Oh, come on, it's not this thread, hahahah! I meant that I've never seen such a terrible manner of serving beer - nowhere in Czech rep. have I seen warm beer, grzaniec. Like it or not, beer isn't supposed to be heated. Wine - maybe. Beer must stay cool even in Winter.

Harry, are you going to Brno maybe?

History / If i could write European history i would unite Europe under Polish language [67]


You probably don't know the language or little of it if you think so. It is quite rich so a certain amount of complexity mus be present. It is hard too master it too, because of its sophistication, but certainly it is a language that is far more rich than e.g. English. Coming back to the main topic, having just one European language would result in little development of languages, and little diversity, so probably it would be a bad idea. And what would all the linguists be doing then;)??

It's very nice, but my choice would be Starobrno over this one.


Polish beer is the best, well Czech beer is even better. Czechs seem to know a bit more about art of brewing and - what's important -serving and beer drinking culture.

also some fresh, not pasteurised beers from Browar Witnica and Smocza Glowa (recently changed the name into something similar, Czarny Smok, I think) from local brewery in Krakow. There are some places you can enjoy them from the tap.

News / Smoking ban in Polish bars and restaurants (AT LAST!) [400]

Well, Kondzior, although I think we agreed it can seem controversial (this ban), I treat it rather as a necessary public safety measure which limits the risks and harms to other people caused by smoking habits of some other, addicted people. You can object to imposing such a ban on private proprietors, and I do understand most of the basis of these objections, however, if you can suggest an alternative that would work similarly but also allowed the non-smoking majority of society to frequent bars and pubs and restaurants and children playgrounds (the ban is also about such places, mind you) and use freely bus stops and other public spaces - then I'll happily reconsider my views on that.

Law / Polish Citizenship for a foreigner whose parents was born in Poland [174]

Hi,
This question actually was answered before. In this case it can be simple: if at least one of the parents was Polish citizen at the time when the children were born (i.e. didn't loose or resign from the citizenship etc.) then the children already are Polish citizens according to Polish law. You don't apply for it, they already have it. But to get some confirmation and then for example apply for passports, then there has to be a verification procedure done. This can take something between 3 weeks to about 2 months on average (depending on the number of places that the children were living, number of gov't offices to contact etc.). And there is no need to come to Poland for this, you can do it via your local Polish consulate. The procedure is simple and you just provide birth certificate (sworn-translated if not Polish) and some documents of the parents, passport confirming Polish nationality too.
