Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [295]

@Kashub1410
I didnt for a second suggest any of that, I simply pointed out reality. The EU is key to Poland building its economy and as I said above, with rights/desires comes responsibility. Poland has its own EU representatives both elected and appointed civil servants and its their job to network and then build alliances to get the result Poland wants.

In the past Ireland tried the pure sovereignty approach with "comely maidens dancing at the crossroads" etc and it was a disaster. PiS seem to want to re-enact this disaster in Poland.

I dont like the modern world with its mobile phones and Internet (apart from the bits I use) food deliveries and a list of other things several pages long but that's the way the world has gone. Poland will just have to get used to modern life.

If you dont like the club you are perfectly free to campaign to have the good people of Poland follow Britains lead and vote to leave. Perhaps Global Poland will have more luck than Global Britain.

Oh, and good luck paying for this huge military outside the EU.

I really don't know what you are talking about.

You seem willing to accept foreign money but not foreign people.

@Kashub1410
Of course it does but with wants/desires/rights comes responsibilities. If Poland wants to be in the club of free nations governed by the rule of law it has to pony up, it has responsibilities.

Unless it involves accepting foreign money.

History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]

Everything you have posted chimes exactly with my experience of school meals. The free milk was horrible exactly as Pavian describes. The food was probably worse than Torq describes and not as balanced. Its nothing to do with communism just the bean counters undervaluing the country's potential and future.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

I don't think anyone is advocating for more bombs in Poland. No one appears to be advocating to relax safety laws in Poland either if they are they are quite invisible.

People appear to be content with the present system, those who want a gun can apply for a permit. I don't see the problem. People who want a gun and want it now! would appear to be a bit suspect.

@johnny reb
I live in Ireland and I can tell you that if there were more guns nothing would have changed except more dead civilians.

Now you can frame a question in many ways but its rare to frame one in such an egregiously stupid fashion.

I have read the entire thread and your ( by definition unverified) upload idea is insane but I was too kind to point it out but feel perfectly free to flex your muscle.


I would go with that...Not one of my US family or friends is as paranoid as some here

@PolAmKrakow
How many political manifestos in Poland have a clause advocating wider gun ownership?

I dont think its a pressing issue for many political parties or electors. The reasons presented here by our American cousins all revolve around bad B movie scripts.

In Poland and Europe generally, there is no call to loosen safety laws

Again I largely agree and it is a serious issue. I don't want to trivialise the issue but I see it like gluten intolerance where a tiny minority have a real and verifiable condition however millions self diagnose.

I agree for the same reason I oppose capital punishment, its irreversible. Any 9 year old has more sense than your average teen.

Not really, the EU has real time access to British trading databases something promised previously but never implemented by the UK. Green and red lanes were offered by the EU over a year ago and so on. The difference is that there now appears to be grown-ups in London who have realised that a semi permanent "war" with the EU is in on ones interests.

The ball is now in the DUP's court...

I do that with leeks as well. A clamp helps protect root veg from the frost there is nothing worse than loosing all your spuds.

@Feniks
I also googled clamp a few years back and was surprised to find it has Dutch roots. The reason I searched was that I always thought it was an Irish thing also discovered that scallion is not Irish either :(

People used to store root veg particularly spuds in a clamp. Perhaps he was digging potatoes.

Walking through a small forest my mucker (there's a word) said that at school the kids had to stand up and say what their fathers did. He always felt really humiliated having to do that.

The estimated deaths during the US (native population) genocide range up to fifteen million however we will never know because you never bothered counting the dead.

Its improbable that you have any figures to back up your claim
