Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1015]

There was no question in your post. Questions end with ?

Post 2784:

Why then all the polls show the lack of support for it and people didn't vote for the party that wanted relaxing the law?

Repeated in post 2794:

My answers may not be to your liking (and I will admit trying to drop something heavy on the guys head from first floor is not the best option) but it is something one could try. The video you showed seemed to be during the day while I would be very likely to have a kettle or pan full of hot water. I also have a mental escape route from any place on my house ( thinking of fires).

And with a gun you may miss as well.

If you managed to throw something heavy onto his head, it's not. Boiling water would seriously harm him too.

Not to mentione most burglars have no intention of killing and rapping everyone inside but just want to steal stuff. The average of stolen goods during a robbery is around $2000.

You still didn't answer my question.

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

I haven't observed or experienced this "fact" during my education.

I do understand where they are coming from but they are misguided in my opinion. Don't take into account many factors, the fact that not every kid thrives in highly competitive environment etc.

Lenka is intelligent and logical, so I personally doubt that she was a bad student.

Thank you. I wasn't a bad student but I could never be ar*ed to apply myself properly. I started to be better in high school and uni thanks to implementing strategies better suited to my needs (e.g. a big game changer for me was writing on loose pages in uni that I could sort into subjects later. I was always notorious for forgetting my specific notepad in school and then I couldn't carry on taking notes until I rewrote the missing notes etc. One year my friends rewritten few notebooks for me just because the teachers were so obsessed with them :) ) Not to mention at that stage I had greater impact as to what I'm learning

Everybody knew what were the best schools in my city and all the smart kids wanted to get in.

It's quite funny really. When I was in primary school we had a school that was always in competition with us. Both schools wanted to be on top. The other schools had a bit better area (only slightly as they were like 2 streets apart) and the approach of making 'better classes' with smarter kids. Mine didn't. Yet for all the years me and my siblings went there we kicked their asse* in sports and a learning competitions.

So there's "selection" taking place later on.

Of course there is.
And I do believe it was better if it was done at 16. Kids rarely know themselves yet, can have a clash with certain teachers etc. How many times did we see kids downmarked by teachers?

It also means that Poles have no right to self-defense

No, it means we treat seriously the possibility of accidental shooting and chance of the gun being stolen.

But FFS it's none of your business. Go hug your guns and leave Poland and Europe alone

This makes me think you were yourself a bad student.

You can think what you want. I was the lazy student that hears 'if only you applied yourself you could have straight As". Never had a problem with the material as such. Never was even close to be left behind at any year.

I just strongly believe in education and it's great powers. I also believe everyone should be given a shot and 70% shouldn't be disregarded.

smart kids artificially limit their potential -

Why limit their potential? They have all the resources they need.

70% of idiots could feel good?

Not feel good but reach their potential. Why does the potential of smart kids is above the potential of the less gifted?

are not that much different.

Besides the prestige. Which means more money, being able to hire better professors, having better research facilities and being attractive to students with better results

In Poland, at 14 (just year after Kania's cut off point) kids choose secondary school and at that stage the more gifted get swooshed together and the same goes for less gifted. No interference

Nobody calls 911 unless it's an emergency.

You are correct but it doesn't mean you need someone with a gun. Again, Polish police uses guns very sporadically. It's for years less then 200 times a year.

You skipped over the issue of government monopoly

Government doesn't have a monopoly. People can get a permit. It's just much more complex than USA. And Poles like it that way

Off-Topic / What's your hobby? [191]

publishing a book and staying anonymous are not mutually exclusive

Maybe she revealed a bit more about herself in the book. Maybe she just doesn't want people here to read it. Maybe it's not your f business.

So 7 billion people knew but a dozen more would be a calamity?

No, only few selected people knew that it's her book. Others might have seen it, read it but didn't know Atch.

Ale jesteś upierdliwy.

Idealne podsumowanie

Following your logic

Again, cars are useful on daily basis. Guns are not.
And yes, we do license who can use them, same with guns.

not a local library or a priest?

Because I needed different services. But no, I didn't need police for their guns.

Did I miss anything?

She doesn't want us to know. And who can blame her?
One idiot already used every scrap of information he has to track it and another can't let it go after hearing no.

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.
