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


It'a a will; there are surveys from time to time, none suggest any will to slacken the current laws.

Genealogy / Looking for a town in Germany-Poland (circa 1868-1882) Kronow [3]

There are two or three places called Kronowo. in Warmia-Mazury. They are south-east of Gdańsk and were part of Germany in that period. Kronow sounds like a (official then) German rendering. One was called Kronau before 1945, the others I'm not sure about.

An irrelevance. Gun laws here are unlikely ever to be slackened; there is no public will for this.

Language / Poszłam or poszedłem [30]


Logical; it's how languages work and how they evolve. I still like some of the quirks though.

Language / Poszłam or poszedłem [30]


I've heard Brits (married to Poles) say "jestem chora" etc., probably just repeating what they hear!

Language / Poszłam or poszedłem [30]

They matter for sure; they can grate on some people's ear. My pet hate in English is people using "less" when "fewer" is correct. It does seem to be changing as languages do.

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

The one where every kind of criminal and would-be criminal doesn't have extremely easy access to firearms. The one where police don't have to go about their duties wary that they'll be shot. The one where schools don't have to do 'live shooter drills'.


So in fact a Pole from Poland...

Language / Poszłam or poszedłem [30]


Can a form become correct? How do languages evolve?

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


So there you go. A Pole from Poland.

And no majority here wants the low-quality gun laws from another country.

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


You're from somewhere else then?

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


There's no particular political will for your country, Poland, to get them.


Hahahahah.

Law / Landlord forces me to pay internet+TV [17]


Still experimental there until 1941. Very few sets and only in a few cities. Poland had TV from 1937 to 1939, as far as I know just in Warsaw.

There you go again...

Fortunately there's zero chance of Poland adopting their silly gun laws.

Anyway, you're Polish, from Poland, and therefore European...

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


It's an obsession over there (with some of them anyway). Fortunately people here are a bit more measured.

Language / Poszłam or poszedłem [30]


Some people say poszłem where they mean poszedłem. Others criticise it as incorrect however common it is. One of a few similar issues.

Language / Can accidentally using the wrong gender form cause offence? [26]


As long as it isn't done deliberately to offend somebody; that's just the behaviour of a knobhead and show what a bellend the person is.

That's a particularly weak assertion, even for you!

He was particularly proud of his Polish roots.

Now, who's this?

His Polish grandparents. He was very assertive about his Polishness, however much that irks you.

Here's some more about him and his connection to Poland. I wonder if he ever visited:

"the family name was previously spelled Gatza and Gaca."

Simply removing extraneous words (and making that very clear).

Corrected for you.

Polish and on the go...

You might as well ask why so many fat people are incels...

Most people were smart enough at the time and not greedy.


There should be zero time. As the Financial Times said, it was an act of collective stupidity. At the time, a few people I know said I was daft not to get such a mortgage; they are the one's now eating catfood.

The interesting (from the website that Po3 used to write for) link's in English, Bieggers, so you'll be able to read it.

The idea of taking out credit in a foreign currency you don't have was frankly insane, somethong not to do unless you're very rich. In which case it's just deeply unwise. It is bizarre to expect greed and stupidity to be compensated.

Looks like the situation will get worse with inflation and the way the zloty is heading.

Here's another famous Polish-American. Do you know who it is?

It looks like the guy who shot Lee Harvey Oswald. Was he called Jack Ruby, a sort of gangster?

What about this guy? Something in common with Ruby, and also with roots in Poland...
