UK, Ireland / Polish drink-driving murderer sentenced to 5.5 years in prison [99]


If they were that sensible they wouldn't do that simply because of how dangerous it is. If they were that smart they would realise they may kill someone and give them a bigger penalty than those 10 years.

You base that on what?


No. What stops me is the fact it's dangerous.

A lot of them carry on driving after their license is taken and that limit is already in place in Poland and didn't stop people

Why are you mixing confessions into it? Who would even know they were told something in confession?


Like any other criminal. Why should they get a free pass?

Didn't notice to be fair but then I don't live there.

During Euro etc I definitely noticed displays of national pride. Definitely much more than in UK.

And how do you call moving the priest to a different parish, not informing the police or the parents of the kids in the new parish?

Who said it's bad?

But that is school teaching certain value. For some tolerance towards others is in the same category. Why teaching one is ok and the other isn't?

Every school is raising kids and promoting certain values. The actions as posted on Pawian's pics are not the work of a single teacher.

Well, the balance must be there. There are generally accepted standards and no parent can just say no to it. And if they do they have to home school. If a parent wanted his kid to be taught that for example Catolicism is the only option and all the other Faith's should be crushed even by force would that be ok?

Btw, mentioning the app by it's name was causing me to get kicked out for spam :)

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]

As someone who lives far away from family and friends I can say smartphone plus certain app are a godsend. Even more so now when travelling is so restricted.

On the smartphone thread it kicks me out...

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]

I loved my Samsung flip phone! I think it was the phone I actually got attached to.

But since all sensible conversation finished here I will switch my attention somewhere else

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]


I agree. It's just too convenient.

On the other hand I almost don't use computer outside of work so if I manage to reduce my screen time on the phone I'm on a good path :)

Btw, talking or texting while driving is not a smartphone issue but any phone . I am guilty of making maybe 5 phone calls in my life while driving. And at least one of them was in a dead stop traffic jam when I had to call I will be late

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]


Really? I don't.

I try to limit pointless use. When one article leads to another and so on. I regularly read chosen websites and after that try to put down the phone and take book instead.

I wouldn't want to go completely smartphone free as staying in touch, managing my accounts and doing shopping is so easy...

Language / Endearment, friendship, etc. in Polish [38]

A. It's not necessarily romantic but if the girl has a crush she might get her Hope's up

B. No romantic suggestions. You will often hear people address groups like that.

Duma jest pozytywna, ma dobre podłodze, bazuje na prawdziwych wartościach. Pycha to duma na sterydach, często bez prawdziwych podstaw.

It's "Pycha kroczy przed upadkiem"

So true. I hate that. One can even buy travelling ashtrays.
