Anyone here ever been fined for swimming in a public pool in Poland?
Is it true that you cannot swear in public in Poland?

If that's true, I'll be dead meat when I visit Poland. I will most likely end up in bankruptcy, from all the fines, ha!
If that's true
Also avoid Michigan, Oklahoma, NC, Rhode Island and a couple other States.

AFAIK, there is some rule that says swearing in public places may cost you up to 50 PLN (somebody correct me if i'm wrong) - in practice it would be pretty much impossible to execute it. If you stand in front of a cop yelling out obscenities, you'll get a fine, that's for sure. Other than that, don't worry, you'd have to have real bad luck to get fined for swearing :)
The fine is exactly 50zl, for 'using vulgarisms in public'. It is a civil 'crime' so the fine can't be enforced except by a civil action which takes ages.
i always try to swear in English...
That's not true at all although I hear the K word less and less. You can swear and it just depends who is the judge of can and can't.
It can't be true, the whole story is made up, I reckon.
Besides, I can bet no Polish person would pay that much for such a silly "crime". You get 100 zł fine when crossing the street on red light, but 500 zl for swearing? Give me a break.

It's 50zl. My friend was fined in Toruń a couple of years ago. He never paid and hasn't heard anything.
Episcopate in Poland in defense of Polish language
The Polish Epsicopate have issued a pastoral letter in defense of good Polish and against the languages growing pauperisation, vulgarity and aggression. They cite sociologists whose research has found a directly proportionate relationship between aggressive and vulgar language and the growth of physical aggression and vulgar behavior in society.
Do you or disagree with the pop-slop culture that imposes and spreads such underclasss language on the rest of society.

I agree the language must be cleaned of vulgarities etc. However, it can`t be done by passing new laws. It is the family and school work.

Yes, that is why so many lower class, lumpenproletariat morons insert kurwa every 3 words. They feel safe.
Wildrover made a good point, although now such an old post:-)
Would any fine extend to swearing in a language other than Polish?
lol

I disagree with the church shoving their noses into every aspect of Polish life!
The Church has been doing same for millennia, rydzyko, and no doubt will continue into the foreeable future!
