Law / Rejecting Inheritance [44]

May I remind all the people here that that can be easily solved by rejecting the inheritance?

Law / Rejecting Inheritance [44]


1- because it's true.
2- because you claimed something that wasn't true in the Polish legal system.

Law / Rejecting Inheritance [44]


Well, you'd be free to argue that after you've been arrested for not settling your debts.

Law / Rejecting Inheritance [44]

Wills are not common in Poland. But there is 6 months to reject the estate.

Law / Rejecting Inheritance [44]


In Poland you are. You can reject the inheritance all together, accept it only to the level of possible debt or accept it completely.

News / What Polish diaspora need and expect from Poland, from Poles in Poland? [43]


The thing is posters like me don't need to relay on those because they actually experience Poland on regular basis.

I would say more Polonia being behind on changes happening in Poland, lingering in their memories ( or even worse their parents and grandparents memories).

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]


Really? I thought your point was that is should be done earlier and given as one grade. Mine is that you can have both and if you want average you can do it yourself.


Do you have any idea how they will measure that.


Yes but it is also gives some a chance. I am like that. I usually had lower grades and better exam results.

I generally think that homework, stricter school etc may be a bit better results at preparing for real world.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]


And if you have both grades you can make your average so what's the problem?

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]


It doesn't or didn't when I was there. You would get separate grades.

I actually like both grades separately as it can even things out if there is any teacher/ student issues

@ Atch

Well, after all, housework is all we can fully comprehend

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]

@ Bobko
I think just two would be necessary:
Outlaw the birth control and forbid women earning money.
Women have less kids simply because they can. They can stop getting pregnant and they can support themselves so they don't have to relay on husband, kids.


From what I know **** addiction actually decreases sex life and makes it less satisfactory.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


But you described it as a personal issue and shouldn't affect their working hours. If that is the case why they don't pick up the kids?


And why do you think they trust their sisters, mothers ect?


Never saw such a manifesto in feminist movements and most definitely not in Poland where birth rates are dropping like crazy.


I am. My point is exactly that- tax system don't care and ask you to pay accordingly. Should everyone go around complaining about taxes of the people earning less?


No, it was a man. His son is 4 now.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


So can man get I don't see then that often with their kids


1- it affects those that actually did start families. More and more women don't. And crack on. But you don't like that either, do you?

2- it was Iron who started this.


Generally tax affects those who earn more, more.
But ok, women stop giving birth and work equally-happy? Ah no, right? Because you don't want women to actually go that way, do you?

I actually met this dad few months ago. He had two wives, divorced with the first, second died when the kid was 3 (mind you that is already pretty big kid, and things usually get easier at this time). He said after being a full time dad for few months he apologised to his first wife for how he was when they were married because he has no idea how she managed it all with 3 kids.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


Me neither. I lifted a couch on many occasions like this if I lost something under but never to clean-much better to move. And I would still rather do that job. Half a minute and done Vs vacuuming the whole place? Deal.

@Poloniusz

Noone said that all those money go into family budget. But I would be more than happy to go 50/50 in both (if he earns more he can keep the rest for himself). But that means taking paternity leave, child sickness 50/50, cooking, cleaning, diapers, mopping up vommit etc.

Usually women reduce their hours to drop off/pick up the kid from childcare, they take the care when kids are sick etc.
I actually know a couple when she works and he stays at home- she loves the piece of mind (still does most at home but hey ho). Not to worry when your kids starts coughing. Not stressing the the traffic is bad and you may not pick up your child on time etc.

The funny thing is- women have less kids, marry less often and crack on with their lives ( meaning they also pay for their own upkeep) so everybody is happy, right? Ah no, you don't want that either...

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [645]


I guess I better find myself one of those!


Me neither. I lifted a couch on many occasions like this if something fell under but for any proper cleaning it's simply better to move it. And if I had to choose I would rather lift the couch. Half a minute Vs 10, 15 or 20 minutes of vacuuming the whole place.

And the women do what at work?


Exactly, can't man accomplish even usage of such devices? (Not to mention all the other chores that are still manual e.g. scrubing toilet). Nah, you are just lazy and that is that.
