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

and that is what we BREATHE into our lungs.

You still have that right, but seem unable to make a choice to where u should be.

These other issues are superfluous or are less closely connected with one's health.

They are more connected with health, the burden on the tax payer is huge!

Thankfully, most people have wisened up.

Again it is a decision of choice. Why would a non smoker choose to enter a smoking pub?

Unfortunately for Poland you are still very much behind in terms of general public health messages. It's worked a charm here in Australia TEN YEARS ago, and i think everyone is enjoying the benefits.

Tell that to the 40 pubs a day that go bust, 15 of which the landlords blame on the smoking issue.

Anything like this is difficult and ghastly to implement in Poland because of the layers of bureaucracy (evident here) which the poles are so famed for.

Its very easy to make it law, but the fact the Polish dont want to be told by a government how to live is different.

If imposing a ban on smoking proved to be good for business,

Again give me one reason why drinking alcohol should not be banned?

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

we are talking about air... the last vestige of common wealth.

No you were talking about social reasons. But while ur talking about air, i guess we also have to talk about a persons personal space. the right to choice ect. Alcohol costs a government more and has serious health issues, plus I haven't even touched the crime issues. If you dont like smokers, then why choose to go into a smoking pub?

Hey, if any of you want to pay my rent, I'll make my place in Split non smoking. Deal?

People have the choice to enter a smoking pub or not. Or are they really in the need for the government to tell them how and where to be?

socially acceptable to expect ANYONE to breathe in your cigarette smoke.

Same way its not socially accepted for someone to deal with a drinker who is drunk. Ban one you should ban the other.

Law / Polish business haven't got a clue: Discuss. [72]

-building honest business relationships is very difficult in Poland

Not if you know how.

-lack of experienced workforce

Experience is there, just got to look for it.

-complicated labor laws
-complicated tax laws
-complicated regulations

Complicated in most countries. You just have to learn them.

-uncertain financial future of the country

Again, like I said before, same with most countries. But you harvest what you reap.

-poorly organized government, perceived by "outsiders" as chaotic

Work around it.

Travel / A week in Krakow (February) - info about weather, hotels, and traffic [28]

More specifically, wouldn't it be odd to be in a pub at 10:00pm in big winter boots? Or will everyone be wearing such?

Everyone will be like that ;) The cold only gives you more reason to enjoy mulled wine and not to leave the pub. Hostels will be quieter than usual but there will be some folk about. Winter is the best time to visit Krakow, as most of the annoying tourists are not there and you will have more fun with the locals anyway :) Try not to stick only to the square, venture out and explore other places to find the little gems.

What the **** is wrong with this statement? Am I the only one who thinks this is mad?

It's just daft. If that's what the people want then why not.
Though pgtx has a point about kacz in the wawel though.

Food / Any królik (rabbit) fanciers on PF? [76]

In the UK the hunting of rabbits involves the use of ferrets (domesticated polecats)in rabbit hunting.

This in itself is quite rare. Rabbits as well as wood-pigeons dont require a licence to be shot as they are considered a "pest" therefore removing them isn't regulated. You do require a licence to own a shotgun though. I love pigeon and geese shooting, rabbits i like too, but they make a hell of a noise if you don't kill them straight out (like a pig dying).

News / People says that EU bringing many nice things to Poland. Tell me about it [104]

dt, your full of sh1t. Your comments are just like playback of the well spread stereotypes.

Yeah, just bs, my comments come from people who served in Serbia and had to watch as Serbs entered villages knowing full well they would not encounter resistance if they murdered a few families.

politics of A. Hitler

Oh god, you have just used the Hitler argument against me. Do you know what is commonly known as the "hitler argument"? When you have no other choice but to back your arguments up with .... what would Hitler do....

I am introducing a different approach to the topic and counterweight to your narrow perspective.

No you're not, most Serbians agreed with the governments policies of ethnic cleansing, in fact they not only agreed, but carried out the policies with such a determination that it shocked the world...

Real Estate / Debica Poland real estate - building for profit. [17]

Aha, I get what your saying now ;) I was giving more of an opinion from my situation, as in land and property inherited rather than me buying outright.
