Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]


A stratospheric number that nobody in Europe wants.

Do not equate violent deaths caused by an inadequate legal system to people dying from weather.

There's a large population and this is a relatively new phenomenon caused by climate change.

Your gun problem is not new and is caused by inadequate constitutional law and governments who are afraid to solve the problem.

It is tawdry to equate the two very different things.


Let people decide how they heat or cool their homes, providing this does not impact badly on the environment.

It's a huge problem there.

And tawdrily frivolous to equate deliberate shootings with summer weather conditions.

Europeans generally do not want lax controls on firearms or widespread civilian ownership of lethal weapons.

Individuals however are free to make decisions about ventilation and heating/cooling.

Use a fan. Shade your windows. Stay hydrated

It's hard to know why this is in a thread about the importance of gun control in Europe.

And there isn't some crazily high death toll.

You can open windows there. There are rules about young children living above a certain floor level in social housing and rightly so.

As Atch says, hotels often have window restrictions and that I'd guess comes from their insurers.


A waste of electric and bad for the environment. Just use a decent fan.

Anyway, it would be bizarre to install a/c just to use for 6 weeks each year..

I've seen people from other parts of Europe look appalled in winter in the Pennines where some days tha black clouds and rain are so heavy that it never really gets light.

Top hats are only worn at posh (or pretending to be posh) weddings and by East End undertakers. Expensive nowadays.

Umbrellas are for püssies. In Warsaw they come out even when the sky is barely spitting.

It's great to visit, though people say it can be challenging to live in.

Some places in the South sound worth a visit, Charleston, Savannah. Miami, the cities like Biloxi in a string along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico

@mafketis
Perhaps it depends on whether the capital is either a purpose build one like Washington or Canberra (which Aussies sometimes describe as a waste of good fields) and/or a historical one like The Hague or on the other hand, the country's biggest city; those are always hated unless you're North Korean and have to pretend to like them.


A bit like Manila

Here's one on topic, though not very nice.

Officers with the Metropolitan Police reviewed CCTV from a number of days in June 2024 that showed her pinching and scratching children under their clothes on their arms, legs and stomachs.

Several of the children were seen to be pinched dozens of times over the course of the day. Most cried and flinched away from Lecka after she did this.

Other instances of abuse included kicking a child who was on the floor, pushing children headfirst over cots, shoving another child onto a mattress in the sleep room and aggressively covering a toddler's mouth as he started to cry.

A tackier news source but a more lurid article.
Roksana Lecka, 22, has been convicted of 'badly harming' 21 infants at the Riverside Nursery in Twickenham, south-west London, last year.

She admitted seven counts of child cruelty, including kicking a boy in the face and punching a girl in the side, justifying this behaviour by claiming she was sleep deprived from smoking cannabis all night with her boyfriend.

One of many reasons.

Of course people from a country tend to stay in the centre when they're visiting their own capital, unless they've friends or family in the suburbs. I did some work in London a couple of years ago, sort of northwest London between the centre and where Milo is. Spending time on Wembley and Kilburn High Streets sort of restored my faith in the place. Shopkeepers were as friendly as in the north and prices weren't Londoney.

It's really very serious.

And crap about a random country thousands of miles away is better elsewhere.

Sort of, though parts of the north west and north are populated by people a generation or two from further east. Far more abrupt with strangers than, say, Upper Silesia.

in an effort to kerb rampant inflation, interest rates were held at a staggering 21 per cent since October, before being cut marginally to 20 per cent this month as pressure eased slightly.

Inflation has largely been driven by sanctions creating higher import costs. Wage growth has also soared to a 16-year high due to labour shortages caused by syphoning off workers into the defence sectors and the military.

Moscow's Higher School of Economics estimated that there was a deficit of 2.6 million employees at the end of 2024.
