Off-Topic / What's your hobby? [186]

Why are you so obsessed? She said already she is not going to give the info.

Another one of my interests is dolls' houses and miniatures

Can I ask what appeals to you in those?
I'm very practical (to the point it can be a vice) and I think that's why I like renovating, building flatpacks etc. That is also why I like furniture restoration/ flipping.

I am devout however of any artistic talent and any crafts don't interest me at all.

That seems to be a thing in UK and USA. Never seen anything like that in Poland.

I can say it actually looks nicer than my real life kitchen!

Because you don't have to cook in there :) all stays nice, clean and perfect

My brother and sister in law are into building their own miniatures.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [366]

What is better - parents pushing kids out to schools

Definitely better that way.

and then suddenly find studying fascinating.

Maybe not fascinating but enough to get themselves a trade.

Nobody is talking about throwing anyone "into the world with nothing"

You are. A 13 yo with limited writing/ reading and basic maths, with no trade, most likely not very involved parents thrown into the adult world... Makes sense....

For the people I'm talking about,

For one, it's a big, huge assumption that the kids t you are thinking about would be the ones to quit. Most kids at 13 find school an obstacle in real life. I knew plenty of intelligent kids that would jump at the opportunity.

Whil there is place for manual labour don't try to pretend it exists in abundance. And factories are definitely getting out of those people reach

1- you don't have to be gifted to learn how to be a plumber, hairdresser etc.
2- I think you are really overestimating parents. The amount of times I heard people calling theirs 5 and 6 yo ' not academic ' and not giving any support to give the kids a chance.

salaries should be higher but as long as there are hordes of women willing to do the job for peanuts money,

Easy solution - guys stop doing the jobs and pay will increase! Great solution Torq!

And then we go into legal stuff- kids labour, who gets the salary, what protection you have in place to protect those kids from things they shouldn't be involved in etc...

, over 13, should continue learning but it should no longer be compulsory, and should be considered a privilege not a right.

What a load of bollo**.
1- it would encourage parents pushing kids out of education to start working.
2- some kids are late bloomers and find interest in learning later.
3- there is the option of joining vocational school and learn a trade, much better then throwing them into the world with nothing.
4- bad economically as the less educated the workforce the less mobile, adaptable etc.
5- work is becoming more and more automated. There is less and less work for simply manual work.

Now how the hell would I know that Mary Smith is Atch? How would I know if Mary Smith is real or fake?

You wouldn't. But some people here are constantly investigating posters.

She also might not want to have comments from people from this forum under her book.

How the fvck does posting info about a book under a fake name reveal who she is?

How do you know it was in fake name?

Plus she simply may not want people here to know it. It's up to her. And creeps like JR and idiots like you changed a nice conversation into yet another trash.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [795]

Poles: We don't want guns in our country.
Foreigners having nothing to do with the country: How dare you tell me I can't have a gun!
Poles: Do what we want but in our country we choose not to have easy access to guns.
Foreigners: My gun is my choice.

Poles: yyy, great, just don't bring it here.

It's funny how some Americans get so worked up by people from far away countries reject their views...

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [795]

What made you decide that Western ruling class would give up power?

What give up power?
Unlike in USA on Poland we have many political parties. We even had a freaking ' beer lovers' party.
Quite recently we had a party that was putting in their manifesto relaxing gun laws. Didn't go far. Combined with the fact that all the surveys show little support for such a change every sensible person has to admit it seems Poles simply don't want relaxing gun laws.

UK, Ireland / Better being female in UK or Poland? [33]

I feel being taken more seriously in Poland. There is less of the girls Vs boys feeling, there is less of relationship drama and silly things (like 'allowing' your partner do something), more real deep friendship between men and women.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [795]

But, since every Polak here goes out of his way to tell us how guns are not necessary, it's only logical for me to ask

Police is at a very high risk of being attacked. They may have to enter dangerous places etc.

Do you know Polish police returns the gun after shift?

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [795]

Anyone not in favor of a referendum on this or abortion is afraid of the outcome.

No, people are not interested. Noone is calling for one.
Even the people pro relaxing gun laws don't call for one And party going into politics with gun laws points were not very successful. Why waste money on that?

While I don't condone it with women like you Lenka, I certainly understand it.

Not surprising coming from an old, screwed up fu*k like you

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [795]

Why not hold a referendum and then have an overwhelming victory on the subject?

Because it's a non issue for Poles? Should we make a referendum because some people from across the globe don't like the fact we don't want to follow their laws?There is no significant movement to get it changed really. If there was a plan to change it it would be nice to get it under referendum.

To those who pay any attention to the idiots here:
There was about 1.000 abortion a year in Poland before the change in law. Even pro abortion organization talks about 2.5 k abortions in 3 years.
You have to now wonder where the morons get their numbers from.

There are evening classes too, helps to keep you motivated.

I tried to look into it but in my area they only have men's shed (with men's included twice in the description so not sure how welcomed I would be) plus it's during my working hours.

Despite time I also lack the place. With the dirt, chemicals etc I would need a space to do it.

I don't know whose book you found but it wasn't mine.

The more important thing is that he even tried to find it.
