Deterrents, combined with reform and the creation of opportunities help but 'sometimes bad is bad'.

Weakness of their characters undoubtedly plays a part but I'd say that social deprivation is more of a factor in the UK.

Quite a few poor people in the UK become criminals due to social deprivation.

So psychologically insane people are nobody?

BB, it can be country specific. I've heard that job creation in Germany isn't a strong point at the moment.

How do you know about those robbers? Have you met them personally? Have you detailed files on their background? More and more studious and decent people are losing out these days and some rob. Finally, blame the state and not them.

Yes and you lied, your only proof was wiki, just like last time, given that anyone including you can edit it and we've had examples of people doing just that to fit their argument yours is worthless.

The city was almost entirely destroyed during the Mongol invasions of 1241, 1259 and 1287

It was rebuilt and incorporated in 1257, based on the Magdeburg law, with tax benefits and trade privileges for its citizens.[10] These citizens were German settlers who moved in during the Ostsiedlung, and who constituted a majority of burghers in contemporary Polish and Bohemian towns.[11]

As the capital of a powerful state and a member of the Hanseatic League, the city attracted many craftsmen, businesses, and guilds as science and the arts began to flourish.[15]

Germans constituted the majority during the 14th century, and became Polonized in the 16th century.[13]

14th century
In 1308 the rebellion of German speaking citizens of Kraków is broken by the Polish King. That costs Poland Gdansk annexed by Teutonic Orders. German speaking citizens will no more have political ambitions. They learn Polish and try to Polonize as quickly as possible.

The oldest known print from Poland is considered to be the Almanach cracoviense ad annum 1474 (Cracovian Almanac for the Year 1474)[2]which is a single-sheet astronomical wall calendar for the year 1474 printed and published in 1473 [3] by Kasper Straube.

....
The first print written in Polish language is believed to be Hortulus Animae polonice, a Polish version of Hortulus Animae written by Biernat of Lublin, printed and published in 1513 by Florian Ungler in Kraków.

The city was practically ruined during the first Tatar invasion in 1241, but the introduction of German colonists restored its prosperity, and in 1257 it received "Magdeburg rights," i.e. a civic constitution modelled on that of Magdeburg.
In this year the Tuchhalle was built.

....Crakow was also the cultural capital of the country with a university founded in 1364. In the 15 th century, Krakow's intellectuals ...The cities, long populated by foreigners--mostly Germans--slowly became more Polish.
The best example of this is the capital of Krakow, where by the end of the 15 th century the Polish element had become a majority.

Germans constituted the majority during the 14th century, and became Polonized in the 16th century.[13]

Nobody needs to rob to survive?

IN the vast plains of Little Poland, now laid waste by the
first Mongolian invasion, the whole civilization of the
country was annihilated, the soil left fallow, the cities
burnt down and depopulated.
The only means to raise the
country economically was the introduction of foreign capital and
foreign hands for work. German colonization, on a large scale,
was begun

BB got anything except for Wiki?

know history of Kraków very well

I'm sorry but thats just a chauvinistic lie, one of your many Kraków throught its history had a Polish majority, calling a Polish capital with a Polish majority and a city that due to grain trade was the most important in Hanseatic league "German" makes you an idiot.

- The city was almost entirely destroyed during the Mongol invasion of Poland in 1241, after Polish attempts to repulse the invaders had been crushed in the Battle of Chmielnik.

- Kraków was rebuilt in 1257, in a form which was practically unaltered, and received self government city rights based on the Magdeburg Law.

- Kraków was a member of the Hanseatic league and many craftsmen settled there, established businesses and formed craftsmen's guilds.
City Law, including guilds' depictions and descriptions, were recorded in the German language Balthasar Behem Codex.

- In 1475 delegates of the elector George the Rich of Bavaria came to Kraków to negotiate the marriage of Hedwig, the daughter of King Casimir IV Jagiello to George the Rich. Hedwig traveled for two months to Landshut in Bavaria, where an elaborate marriage celebration, the Landshut Wedding (Landshuter Hochzeit 1475) took place in St. Martin's church (Landshut).

Around 1502 Kraków was already featured in the works of Albrecht Dürer as well as in those of Hartmann Schedel (Nuremberg Chronicle) and Georg Braun (Civitates orbis terrarum).

KRAKOW

Krakow holds a special place among the Polish towns which were members of the Hanseatic league. The splendor it enjoyed in the late medieval period was not only due to its membership in the union--Krakow of that time was above all the capital and the main administrative center of Poland.
However, as a Hanseatic town, Krakow could participate in the European trade exchange and let its own burghers prosper...
...
Many traces of the Hanseatic period have remained. Admiring them may become a fascinating adventure and unforgettable experience for those tourists who are interested in the European culture. It may also be an opportunity to visit unique monuments, in many cases almost unspoiled by the passage of time.

In 1980, it was decided to re-establish the Hanseatic League as the Hanseatic League of New Time (also known as the New Hansa). It hopes to foster and develop business links and tourism within towns and cities as well as promote cultural exchange.
Apart from old Hanseatic cities, the New Hansa granted membership to some cities which had not been members of the medieval Hansa but had had wide trade connections with the Hansa in the Middle Ages.
The latter include twelve Russian cities, most notably Novgorod, which was a major Russian trade partner of the Hansa in the Middle Ages, even though Russian cities had never been official members of the Hanseatic League.

After all it was the Poles who monopolised the river traffic so what did the Germans have to contribute when most of the wealth was in Polish hands?

As the capital of a powerful state and a member of the Hanseatic League, the city attracted many craftsmen, businesses, and guilds as science and the arts began to flourish.[15]

Kraków, then the capital of Poland, was also a Hansa city with German burghers around 1500.

Exactly the kind of attitude i'm talking about.

I doubt it.

..... His earliest work (1477) is the celebrated altar of the Blessed Virgin in the Church of Our Lady at Cracow, which is made in three parts, as an altar with wings. In the centre is seen the almost life-size figure of the Mother of God as she sinks dying into the arms of an Apostle.
Another altar of his in this church has reliefs depicting six scenes in the life of St. Stanislaus. The fine qualities of this work, especially the animation of the portrayal and the effective composition, obtained for him in 1492 the commission of making the tomb of King Casimir IV in the Cathedral of Cracow....

....were the tomb of Casimir IV in Wawel Cathedral...

The altarpiece of Veit Stoss (Polish: Ołtarz Wita Stwosza, German: Krakauer Hochaltar), also St. Mary's altar (Ołtarz Mariacki), is the largest Gothic altarpiece in the World and a national treasure of Poland.[1]
It is located behind the main altar of St. Mary's Church, Kraków, Poland.

Lets see, among some of your better ones "Kraków was so prosperous because it was half German."

"Kopernik was German because his uncle wanted him to be."

"Poland didnt won at Vienna, it was the Germans."

"Poznań is a natively German city."

...
moved to Krakow, the royal capital of Poland, at the invitation of the German merchant community, who commissioned him to produce the enormous polychrome wooden Altar of Veit Stoss at St Mary's Church in Krakow.

....
In 1520, the most famous church bell in Poland, named Zygmunt after Sigismund I of Poland, was cast by Hans Behem.[23] At that time, Hans Dürer, a younger brother of Albrecht Dürer, was Sigismund's court painter.[24] Hans von Kulmbach made altarpieces for several churches.[25]

"Germany now claims that it wants its relations with Poland to be as close as they are with France."

Fantastic. Not even one problem in the Polish-German relations has been solved. Gerries give Tusk a candy for being their yes man and that's It.

Would you prefer 'Brzęczyszczykiewicz'? ;)

Wit Stwosz was born under the name Veit Stoß

Veit Stoss was a leading German sculptor, mostly in wood, whose career covered the transition between the late Gothic and the Northern Renaissance.
...
Stoss was born at Horb am Neckar before 1450; his exact date of birth is unknown though it may have been in 1447. Nothing is known certainly of his life before 1473 when he moved to Nuremberg in Franconia and married Barbara Hertz. ....

Yes - it bothers me.

You just can't look on a larger scope than that pathetic 6 years of WW2

apart from the fact of being the thieves
of footballers.

We have so many friends,
