I wouldn't say so. I think for us raising voice is like a madness gauge. That gives time to de-escalate. In other places people won't yell until it's too late and the conflict is too big to do anything about it.
Poles - first they explode, then they burn.

That is a different argument. My response is purely to Novichoks statement that those kids would be wanted.
As to the reasons for abortions- that is a different matter. For you guys I don't think there are any, are they?
what Iron is trying to say is that murdering a child in its mother's womb can hardly be justified by the child being unwanted.

Yeah, we know from history how they were loved. Especially those disabled ones.

Same here. Sorry but I love jeans and trainers. I like the fact I can run/ climb/ play with a ball etc. I feel more energetic and go get it.
I do like smarter clothes too but my physical freedom is important to me.
Not to mention not all walks of society dressed that smartly. The images we have is usually based on the upper classes.
I prefer it that nowadays comfort is more important than superficial appearances. 🤔

There is nothing wrong with a nice, flat green land. It really doesn't have to be hilly to be pretty.
That is a good idea

Correction on the wrong stats posted here:
40% of all the households in Poland are covered by the district heating system.
It's not only about the prettienes aspects but also like wildlife, less plants and trees, etc
They are for the 27% of people

Tbh I'm not too happy about solar farms. I think that is not really ecologically optimal. But I do believe all the city buildings should be plastered with them.
I do know in UK a lot of people sell their electricity from solar to the grid.
Don't know if in Poland it's the same
Edit: Just confirmed you can't do that in Poland
but large commercial operations.
