Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]

For such self defence to work you'd have to have strong community and a leader. In Ranczo it was Kusy who organisedall that.

Well it was Ranczo, not a documentary

PolAm was talking about all those guns. Plus most of them wouldn't be well maintained.

OK, there are some guns like that. Probably not as many as you'd expect as they would get lost, broken etc.
In my own family after the war the father gathered all the guns, went out for few minutes and no-one seen them since. The house was taken apart to the ground and still nothing. He never said what he did with them.

And comparing having some hidden, old guns to more access to guns now is not the smartest

But of course you didnt even read the article I posted after you requested a source.

I scanned it. It says about Kukiz (long time supporter of relaxing gun laws and NOT PiS) trying to pressure PiS to support the bill with the coalition support

Life / Poland's birthrate on the decline [480]

Problems continue. According to new survey over 60 % of Polish women don't plan to have a child..
While a lot can be explained by more women being in the order group than at the last poll there are some changes that are bad news:

CBOS wskazuje, że w stosunku do 2017 r. bardzo wyraźnie wzrósł odsetek kobiet bezdzietnych w wieku 18-45 lat w ogóle nieplanujących potomstwa - z 22 proc. do 42 proc.]

The amount of women not planning to have any kids went from 22 to 42%.

@Ebern8
Since your mom renewed her passport and that way showed us she didn'tlose her citizenship your case should be as straightforwardas Poland Saif.

Law / Obtaining Poland's citizenship through decent [11]

As far as I am aware you just are a Polish citizen as your parents are still Polish citizen. It should be as easy as applying for Polish passport.

What year your parents emigrated and when were you born?

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

How many pregnancies can be terminated each year while maintaining the reproduction rate at 2.1?

'All - 2' for 50% of women and 'all - 3' for 50% of women

The logical falacy is that it's not about how many pregnancies a women will abort but about how many she will keep.

But then I talk to a halfwit that after years of banging about the topic didn't know the laws he was discussing

because women are not responsible for the survival of the tribe

And then you talk about how women aborting kids would finish off the tribe...so which is it?

Language / Some German loan-words in Polish language [17]

It's not former Silesia. It is Silesia.

And your example has not that much to do with word borrowing and more to do with people speaking Silesian. And has nothing to do with education.

Travel / Do Poles like to hunt? Hunting in Poland. [211]

I don't like to hunt and I'm explaining why. I also don't know anyone in real life who likes to hunt or hunts at all

Same here.

So we have 3 Poles for no, 2 PolAms and one Yank yes.

Language / New Years wishes in Polish? [56]

I don't think I've heard it either

I've heard it and read it. Maybe it was a bit more common in Silesia?

Don't lie! It is about advertasing

Anything to back it up? All the info I read about this proposal mentioned informing.

Travel / Do Poles like to hunt? Hunting in Poland. [211]

Preparations, early morning travel, being amongst friends, pitching the tent, starting the fire, endless card games, excessive drinking, fluctuating, without the need of an excuse.

That is called camping.

@Cojest
The project mentions penalising informing about abortion in other countries. Since abortion is not illegal in those places there is no crime ergo no propagating crime.

I almost would like to see them try putting this law into motion.

and

And that means there are no grounds not to tell people about what is available there under their laws.Which means there is no crime to propagate

But it's not a crime in other countries. Nobody is going to get prosecuted for saying you can go to The Netherlands and smoke pot.

So Godek, our chief of abortion law changes, now wants to also ban informing women about those.

Projekt przewiduje zakaz publicznego propagowania jakichkolwiek działań dotyczących możliwości przerwania ciąży w kraju i poza jego granicami. Zakaz dotyczy także publicznego nawoływania do przerwania ciąży oraz publicznego informowania o możliwości przerwania ciąży w kraju i poza jego granicami.

Will an article describing abortion laws in different countries fall under that?

Ridiculous.
