I know few women that had it (PRL times women) and no, I didn't notice any trauma.


That's something that many people taking the anti abortion stance don't understand. It's not that we want the women to have an abortion. We want them to have that choice if needed.


Because you are an idiot we tend to ignore

I'm clarifying.

But yes, I believe an abortion should be permitted in that case.
I put the women's life above fetus in early stages (I'm adding the early stages because someone will start talking about full time pregnancy)

You think of something else. I mean the UK system (Lazarus and Jon were talking about it). What they mean is paying the minimum into the government pension system and getting much more.

Have you lived and worked in the UK for at least three years? You could get a UK state pension for a very reasonable amount even though you live in Poland.
Lazarus:
You need 35 years of payments to get the full amount. That amount is £221.20 / 1,111zl per week, so 57.772zl per year. To get that you can pay only Class 2 voluntary contributions and those £179 / 895zl per year. Yes, those numbers are correct. For paying thirty-five times 895zl, you get 1,111zl per week for life from your 67th birthday. So it takes 28 weeks to get back what you paid in, after that you're in the money. Live to 80 and you get back 751,036zl for the 31,325zl you paid in!

Ok, now I will get a bit sentimental 😁
You know when there is that one song that is played constantly and everyone knows it, whether they like it or not? One of such songs was "Księżycowa piosenka":

For my teenage years and first heartbreaks LZY created a soundtrack:

"Niebieska sukienka" is one of the songs that have very personal memories for me:



"Agnieszka" on the other hand was sung at almost all drunk parties at one time:

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


So true :)

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


The fear is:
1- more guns means more access to guns also for criminals
2- people are often irrational and overreact. If they go for a fist fight or even knife it's usually less dangerous for those involved AND general public
3- wide guns access doesn't seem to make places safer
4- most people wouldn't be able to protect themselves with properly stored guns
