Law / Weapons laws in Poland. Carrying a concealed handgun? [918]

I don't think it's that.

Sure, could be that some people are just content with the way the things are in regard to weapon.

I just can't see that a very safe country like Poland needs its citizens to be armed

Need? I see it more as a natural right of men. Freedom to arm yourself or not.

I can't find any statistics on gun crime in Poland, becuase there probably isn't any.

Law / Weapons laws in Poland. Carrying a concealed handgun? [918]

And the difference is ?

people are scared of guns and their neighbours. when they hear the word gun - their brain goes into the panic mode and freezes.
The other explanation - those are nutters with no self -control who are aware of their condition as they know that if somebody would given them a gun they would just go ape shyt crazy.

But the second problem is the one that shows us that yet again Cartman is telling whoppers.

I see Harry is lying again. That happened in 1964. In 1977 he became working for the NRA. So no Harry no member of the NRA committed murder by shooting.

IMHO true freedom is when there's no threat and no need to overcome it. Lol

Don't really know what you mean but it sound to me that you're confusing freedom with slavery.

She also appears to look Tatar

Eh? In what way? There haven't been a pure blood Tatars in Poland for at least 400 years. If you're asking for her ancestry that cannot be determined by her look alone.

Feedback / Would you favour a free and open PF where people could post under their real names? [55]

Only if someone posted

Nah, if some one's boss, or all their working environment consist of the people who one would justly describe as a regressive left. If you for example (just to fit in) haven't let them know what you think about certain issues or about their idiotic ideology, its a very reasonable to think that you could expect backlash or other unpleasant consequences if such a deception would be discovered. Especially that those are regressive left's people - they're vindictive and close minded.

calm and coherent presentsaiton of honest opinion should not trigger all the bad things you claim would happen

No, matter how you would present yourself on this forum, how reasonable, logical and honest you would be, its about what you say not how you say it. What is that hard to understand>?

It certainly would not serve those whose main reason for being on the forum is to bait, provoke, snoop, pry and cyber-stalk other posters.

You're being bullied and trolled and you're being played like a fiddle . You're letting yourself to be drawn into useless and pointless exchanges with someone who play dirty and there is no way you could passible win playing fair.

What more that is annoying you and you start to rant and rage in righteous indignation which makes them laugh at you even more. What more that encourage people like Harry to do more of the same.

Either learn to play the game or ignore him - those are your only options if you're bothered by Harry.

all the bad things you claim would happen

I'm not saying that all those bad things will surely follow. I'm saying that they might happen or some of them might happen. Don't forged about nutters too. They exist in the real world.

This is a limited-access forum so the whole world wouldn't know who swas posting what.

Polonius you have just proved that you know absolute nought about the Internet. Not only all the world would be able see those names and what was posted by them but you could very easily find everything that is available in the cyberspace about that person.

Limited access. Poor Polonius.

So are you for or against, and why?

I'm against it. Why? some people what it might came as a surprise to you do have their jobs and carries to consider. Posting on an anonymous forum is akin to a private conversation. No one wants or needs the all world to know what you said in a private capacity.

You could loose your job, have to explain yourself or find yourself to be singled as a person unfit for a promotion or be informed that your contract gonna be terminated. Why bother to post all then?

---
Not to mention that the world is full of all kinds of nutters. They could easily track you down and would **** in the front your doorway, scare your children, hurt your dogs or cats, torch your car, or fling insult in your way.

Who need this kind of crap in their lives>?
Maybe do you as you're obviously bored. Be my guest and post under your real name - no one is stopping you.

Given that none are in the public domain, online or in print, it looks like you've been "showed" a photo of someone else...

Hmm ...you posted your mugshot on PF some time ago. Seems to me that someone has kept a copy of it.

No! You only saying it all because Harry is getting under your skin and you want to shut him up in this way. Develop tougher skin, stop posting here, get use to it or sort it outside PF. I'm sure that for the most of the long term members of the PF( including you ), Harry's identity is not a secret.

Life / Opłatek, not presents, epitomises the true Polish Christmas spirit [85]

But you're still a fool

The only fool in this thread is you. As you were compelled by your inner stupidity that pushed you to post here for no good reason.

What epitomises Christmas these days in Poland is too much fuss about it and too much food prepared on the occasion

Nobody put a gun to your head. Buying expensive presents and getting too much of the food is not must. That ain't requirement for Christmas.

News / Germany After the EU and the Russian Scenario - future of the European Union and Poland [310]

I've seen with my own eyes how some of the so-called "worker's paradises

So? What have you seen? Why would that matter? You're confusing the look of the cover of a box and it's content.
-----

The GDR for example

We're talking about Poland.
------------

Poland's ship building industry went through several phases of restructuring attempts, which failed miserably between 2000 and 2002,

That was actually due to the government obstinacy.
We're not talking about what had happened but we're talking about potential and that potential was great. Poland has few advanced and competitive and advanced and the lest of it agriculture in private hands.

I say that all went to waste due to poor management, opening market for foreign products, and surrendering strategic national industries like banking and media ( for example) to the foreign capital.

Since early 90' Poland had been implementing all BS polices that the EU liked to impose on Poland. That impeded Polish economy big time too.
-----

The commie industries were simply not able to compete with their western counterparts.

Where? On African, Asian, south American markets? You wanna bet?
Admittedly some large chunk of steal and coal industry that have been feeding Soviet war machine, producing parts for tanks and navy had been pretty much for scrap but not all of it and defiantly not all industry.

Some restructuration should follow. First private property should be given back to the rightful owners. Government should focus on building up infrastructure instead of neglecting it.

Do you really think that all catering services or some services really needed foreign investments to develop? Really?
----

Tell me why. Unemployment in Poland was sky-high at that time

I told you why. Potential had been wasted by polish soviets and their secret police cronies, corruption and general sh'tty state of the society in Poland after 50 years of the Soviet occupation and hecatomb of the WWIi.

It doesn't mean it didn't exist in the first place.
---

you would've sunk like a stone.

I think that would be good. People would move out of their stupor and hang few swine's and that change would be much better for Poland that what has followed. In my opinion.

----

Access to the common market and related foreign investments don't count?

Don't count for much if all you can sell is ore or some food produced mostly by foreign own agriculture companies. Investments in what? Supermarkets that eliminate from the market nine out of ten shops owners, and which are avoiding paying taxes.

Are you talking about hotels that are caterings for foreign visitors to transfer their profits abroad the same goes for banking sectors. Maybe for a fact that 85% of the press belong to the German owners and in this way German make an impact on the political processes in Poland?

I see you are not talking anymore about EU founding that so far amounts to about 90 cent per head.

News / Germany After the EU and the Russian Scenario - future of the European Union and Poland [310]

The east European countries were run down to such an extent that no one could rescue them economically

That is a common misconception and a myth. Poland didn't need rescuing. What she lacked was an elite capable of solving problems. What Poland got was soviet scum and soviet political police posed for a quick buck.

-----

my opinion, Poland wouldn't have stood a chance to create a competitive economy without the help of the EU.

Yes, I know your opinion. You're wrong.

With whom and how?

News / Germany After the EU and the Russian Scenario - future of the European Union and Poland [310]

The EU as we know it will be gone within the next 10 years,

Good!

A new core union will certainly not make the same mistake again and admit any potential net recipients of funds and/or member states that are overly nationalistic and /or obstructive.

WTF are you talking about? The main problem of the EU is fact that it has no clear structure or a clear path, or aims. It's supposedly like a buffet everyone can pick up what suite them the best and such a arrangement it's supposedly beneficial for everyone. That is clearly a propaganda that have been sold to the public.

Sure think there are those sectors and people who greatly benefit from the EU, but.. its ain't everyone not even majority that benefits from those arrangements.

The EU supposed to be a big economical zone so big that would be able to compete with China, USA and other zones. That supposed to be an European answer to globalisation. That clearly isn't the case.

The only advantage for them was a fact that EU expansion prevented creation of competitive economies that would arise in the freed of the communist occupation eastern European countries

The EU is BS organization where big corporations and financial banking system have a free rein to explore and profit. Those firms are working hand in hand with their national governments. In other words western European countries used their economical advantage to exploit economically weaker members, admittance of post-communist countries has given them bust and upset balance that existed between north and south of the original EU, hence Greek crisis, Italy is in line and Spain as well.

Talk about further integration is another BS. What integration? If they're talking about federal state - there should be federal structures and federal powers and federal laws but first of all there should be economical interaction - all state debts should be taken over by the federal government.

There is noting of the kind. Germany dominated EU and its national interests dictate EU policies. That is BS not EU.

As for those famous founds, that is kind of a bribe to the circles and some people to advocate for EU. In term of the real effect on a country that is a ripest of the those fund there is no such a clear cut benefits. Like so far Poland got 90cents per head. F... fortune!

The only other issue that EU supported with (money) and political pressure is a neo-Marxist ideology. Those hare-brained ideas of the regressive left! Wow! To have that c...b working you need a welfare state and/or a very rich economy otherwise it automatically goes into a oppressive regime mode because that is such a c.. that it cannot function properly otherwise.

---------------

Poland has developed sufficiently by then, maybe it will be asked to join

Poland in that circumstances would build her own regional alliance and collaboration between states that have much more of a common ground, common problems and common interests than with any other countries on the continent.

Germany with their concept of their dominance over the Middle Europa as they call it and can go f...themselves pink! Bloody Borg.

News / Polish parliament refuses to consider shack-up draft between both traditional and same-sex couples [96]

Polish government should follow an example of Germany and pass the law that the Polish law takes precedence over the EU laws.
So, we can dispense with slogans and an illusion that the Germany threats the EU integration seriously. They'll try to make those countris that will let them into German colonies and once it fail they will dump that project all together build some Franco-German plus few western European countries block.

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

Where would you suggest I start?

Search for your family name in armoires (books with crest and names) of Polish nobility. You can find some online, mostly in Polish, some in English but you would have to pay to use it.

genealogia.okiem.pl/glossary/herby.php
thetreemaker.com/family-crest-z.html

I have already checked for you and there is ,Rekowski' in the records availed on line.
Still, doesn't mean you're a noble for that you should have make sure that one of your ancestor didn't change his name to Rekowski. Could be that your name is in fact Rękowski and that changes things.

I was in Krakow yesterday and polish man we met said there is a possibility that it was a noble name from the town of Rekowo. Any thoughts on this?

He was talking out of his backside. Although there is a small chance that he was right, remember that those helpful strangers are not experts.

As to Crow he is our Serbian storyteller - his obsession - Slaves and Serbians.

News / Polish President Lech Kaczynski and gov officials die in a plane crash in Russia [686]

The accident happened on Russian territory, that limits Poland's options in terms of investigations.

Not really, given a fact that aircraft that crashed belonged to the Polish Air Force. In which case primarily investigation belongs to Poland. However Tusk for whichever reason agreed with Russians to treat that crash as an aviation accident of a civil aircraft. In such a case Russian law gave primarily responsibility to Russian investigators.

The International Civil Aviation Organization recognized a fact that TU-154 of the Polish Air Force wasn't a civilian aircraft.
Tusk and PO are those bodies which and who are primarily responsible for this mess.
Rusians are just being their obnoxious self.

Could someone update me to know the method of the madness for Moscow's refusal so far to return the plane's wreckage and the flight recorders to the Poles.

Donald Tusk ( a mix between Obama and Hillary) practically gave up investigation and handed it on a sliver platter into Muscovy hands. No method beside an inept political crook who is out there only for himself versus a smooth Russian operative.

There is no question about a fact that Putin's regime is not friendly towards Poland and won't cooperate with Warsaw.

Its a phrase for deluded .peiple with no knowledge of science at all.

Talking about yourself? There is no "clean" technology for any kind of energy that can be used commercially. Fixation on CO2 which is not half bad as ideological demonizing has it, means that 'clean' in the context reads as 'greatly reduced or reduced to negligible quantity'.

Language / "Czarny" vs. "Czerny", vs. "Charni" vs. "Cherni", etc. [21]

Why do both "Czarny" and "Czerny" exist for "Black" in Polish?

They don't. Czarny means Black in Polish. Czerny sounds like an archaic version of the same world. It could be still in use in few neighbouring languages

, the family name "Czerny" itself, is NOT Jewish

Right! I think you're wasting your typing power on Nicki.
