Food / Easter meal on a typical Polish table? [16]


Still called potato salad where I come from :)

With the cakes I can see sernik and babka and what I assume is murzynek?

Food / Easter meal on a typical Polish table? [16]

Is that potatoes salad?

For me it was about cooked sausages and eggs with horse radish...yummy
I don't celebrate Easter anymore but I might be tempted to make that for myself

Food / Polish Salted Butter [68]

Personally I don't see a point in salted butter. When I bought it by mistake it annoyed me quite few times.


Guilty as charged. It just goes so well together....

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]


I never use tomato in take away sandwiches. It let's the juices out and losses texture.
I don't mind eating onion in the morning but right after that brush my teeth.


Actually one day when I was short on potatoes and didn't fancy going to the shop I decided to copy you and try some new combo. I must say I prefer it the standard way, with potatoes.

History / POLISH AND RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP WILL LAST FOREVER [513]


That is one. Plus it's funny to deny them their Russianism ( :) ) because we don't agree with their opinions.

And what is traditional Russians?

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]

I have to correct myself. The shooting in the legs was was a proposal but didn't come to life or anywhere close it seems.

They do however have to give a warning shot unless the situation is too dynamic

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

Yes, exactly. No court case needed yet you could be refused on that ground.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]


That is your opinion. As it is in Poland excessive force is a very real term and you can be charged for that either as a cop or civilian.

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


That was exactly from a firearm case.

Nit to mention Niebieska Karta is Police document, no conviction needed.

Every neighborhood has it's dzielnicowy and his tasks is to know things, go around to have friendly chats with people etc

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

Here is one case:

Sąsiedzi wypytywani przez funkcjonariusza twierdzili, że Romulad G. jest człowiekiem konfliktowym, wulgarnym i agresywnym. Co więcej przeciwko niemu była prowadzona procedura wydania Niebieskiej Karty ze względu na znęcanie się nad rodziną.

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


No, one doesn't.
Criminal record is a separate thing to the Police Chef opinion.

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


That Police Chef is not about having criminal record (that is separate) . If you never got convicted but you are known to the local police you may have a problem getting it.

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


You asked what they want to relaxe and I told you.


For legit people, sure. But most of society don't frequent hunters clubs or want the permit just for their great grandpa's gun

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]

Because most of the time you don't have to kill to subdue.
And Police officer is not a normal person. He should be trained to make as calm decisions as possible. Most of the cases I read about resemble more an emotional/ scared response.

That being said I don't mind cops shooting legitimately when they are in danger.

Thanks to not using excessive force and not acting like tug Polish Police managed to distance itself from it's socialist past . Now they are in a bit of a PR deep sh*t but that is mostly due to the politics

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

musi mieć ukończone 21 lat;

stałe miejsce zamieszkania w Polsce

posiadanie pełnej zdolność do czynności prawnych;

posiadanie zdolności fizycznej i psychologicznej do posiadania broni, którą potwierdza orzeczenie lekarskie i psychologiczne;

uzyskanie opinii Komendanta Komisariatu Policji odpowiedniej do naszego miejsca zamieszkania;

nie może być skazana prawomocnym orzeczeniem sądu za przestępstwa umyślne.

The most important part is the doctors and the Police Chef.
And ofc have a reason

Please give a tanslation if you quote some Polish text on an English only forum

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

It always wonders me what is the argument for guns besides 'we want them?'
Crime rate is low and rarely involves guns.
Defending Poland in invasion? With today's technology it's laughable.
Fighting with gov? I would rather do it as we did it in 1989.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]


Don't tell me training doesn't play a role.
American cop will shoot to kill, Polish not. That is just one difference.
Police worked hard for many years to get people's trust and it worked. Sadly in the last few years the trust level dropped dramatically

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

According to the latest poll I could find (2017) :
- 65% wouldn't want to own a fun
- 69% is against relaxing the law

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]


They are supposed to use as little force and cause as little damage as possible.

That being said American cops work in completely different environment. Should they revise their tactics? Yes. But it's foolish to assume the could operate in the same way as in Europe.

That link comes up as nothing

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1450]

What about this:
I almost never see tomatoes without onion in Poland. It's almost as if they were one:

Po polsku / "Razem" chce aby Jan Paweł II nie był już honorowym obywatelem Warszawy [14]


Twoje prawo oczywiście ale to niczego nie zmienia. Zresztą zakonnicy też mają swoje za uszami.


Tu nie o strukturę chodzi a o brak przyzwoitości hierarchów kościelnych.

Po polsku / "Razem" chce aby Jan Paweł II nie był już honorowym obywatelem Warszawy [14]


Księża reprezentują kościół i normalnym jest, że ich zachowanie rzutuje na postrzeganie tej instytucji. Co więcej tutaj dochodzi instytucjonalne krycie pewnych rzeczy i o to ludzie mają największe pretensje.

A w każdej grupie społecznej najbardziej widoczne są te jednostki, które wzbudzają kontrowersje.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


Sure, in two situations:
One when the same numbers of fathers will take care of their kids as mothers (especially disabled ones)
Two when there will be the possibility to transfer pregnancy .

And do you guys seriously think there is such a big amount of guys opposing their partners abortions? I know a women that was translating during abortions and most were doing it exactly because the father bailed and they didn't want to do it on their own.

Life / Why Polish Diminutives/Nicknames are so popular? [14]


I hope you only play a moron but here:
The flexibility of diminutives adds to the ways you can express yourself without making the message any less clear or correct. Not the case with punctuation and grammar.

Not that writers don't play with it from time to time

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

What about threatening? Would that count?

Life / Why Polish Diminutives/Nicknames are so popular? [14]


Oh yeah, how do people dare to use the language in a way that makes it more personal and maybe even, god forbid, emotional!!!

Btw, the world urlopik wouldn't be used by an old lady but more by a younger person still in their productive years as they are the ones having urlop.

Life / Why Polish Diminutives/Nicknames are so popular? [14]


To you maybe. A lot of people like to have different and varied ways to express themselves.

Love / Polish women: what do you think of Polish men? Physically unattractive? [180]


Let's be honest, no matter if it's a man or a women simply introducing yourself to someone on the street would be judged as weird.

Love / Polish women: what do you think of Polish men? Physically unattractive? [180]


I know what you mean.

It's funny how attractiveness is not limited to physicality.
