Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]


There was a party wanting relaxing the law... Didn't really get that far. So it's obvious people weren't that bothered.

I sometimes wonder, are you that stupid that you don't understand people have different views and needs to yours or are you just acting to be a troll.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]


What give up power?
Unlike in USA on Poland we have many political parties. We even had a freaking ' beer lovers' party.
Quite recently we had a party that was putting in their manifesto relaxing gun laws. Didn't go far. Combined with the fact that all the surveys show little support for such a change every sensible person has to admit it seems Poles simply don't want relaxing gun laws.

Poles: We don't want guns in our country.
Foreigners having nothing to do with the country: How dare you tell me I can't have a gun!
Poles: Do what we want but in our country we choose not to have easy access to guns.
Foreigners: My gun is my choice.

Poles: yyy, great, just don't bring it here.

It's funny how some Americans get so worked up by people from far away countries reject their views...

How do you know it was in fake name?

Plus she simply may not want people here to know it. It's up to her. And creeps like JR and idiots like you changed a nice conversation into yet another trash.

So, dear Americans, take your idiotic gun laws and keep them away from us.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]


Take your own advice and keep away from Polish issues. Including what gun laws we choose to have.

You wouldn't. But some people here are constantly investigating posters.

She also might not want to have comments from people from this forum under her book.

What a load of bollo**.
1- it would encourage parents pushing kids out of education to start working.
2- some kids are late bloomers and find interest in learning later.
3- there is the option of joining vocational school and learn a trade, much better then throwing them into the world with nothing.
4- bad economically as the less educated the workforce the less mobile, adaptable etc.
5- work is becoming more and more automated. There is less and less work for simply manual work.

News / Lech Walesa urged to "reduce Russia" to 50 million people [360]


Definitely better that way.


Maybe not fascinating but enough to get themselves a trade.


You are. A 13 yo with limited writing/ reading and basic maths, with no trade, most likely not very involved parents thrown into the adult world... Makes sense....


For one, it's a big, huge assumption that the kids t you are thinking about would be the ones to quit. Most kids at 13 find school an obstacle in real life. I knew plenty of intelligent kids that would jump at the opportunity.

Whil there is place for manual labour don't try to pretend it exists in abundance. And factories are definitely getting out of those people reach

1- you don't have to be gifted to learn how to be a plumber, hairdresser etc.
2- I think you are really overestimating parents. The amount of times I heard people calling theirs 5 and 6 yo ' not academic ' and not giving any support to give the kids a chance.


Easy solution - guys stop doing the jobs and pay will increase! Great solution Torq!

And then we go into legal stuff- kids labour, who gets the salary, what protection you have in place to protect those kids from things they shouldn't be involved in etc...

That seems to be a thing in UK and USA. Never seen anything like that in Poland.

Hey, erection-for-guns moron, what do you use gun for besides a lethal weapon?

Why are you so obsessed? She said already she is not going to give the info.


Can I ask what appeals to you in those?
I'm very practical (to the point it can be a vice) and I think that's why I like renovating, building flatpacks etc. That is also why I like furniture restoration/ flipping.

I am devout however of any artistic talent and any crafts don't interest me at all.

Yes to both

She doesn't want us to know. And who can blame her?
One idiot already used every scrap of information he has to track it and another can't let it go after hearing no.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]

Can be, true. But they are also immensely useful in everyday use. Guns are not.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]


Again, cars are useful on daily basis. Guns are not.
And yes, we do license who can use them, same with guns.


Because I needed different services. But no, I didn't need police for their guns.

Maybe she revealed a bit more about herself in the book. Maybe she just doesn't want people here to read it. Maybe it's not your f business.


No, only few selected people knew that it's her book. Others might have seen it, read it but didn't know Atch.


Idealne podsumowanie

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]


You are correct but it doesn't mean you need someone with a gun. Again, Polish police uses guns very sporadically. It's for years less then 200 times a year.


Government doesn't have a monopoly. People can get a permit. It's just much more complex than USA. And Poles like it that way

Yes but it has to be kept in a safe

Why limit their potential? They have all the resources they need.


Not feel good but reach their potential. Why does the potential of smart kids is above the potential of the less gifted?


Besides the prestige. Which means more money, being able to hire better professors, having better research facilities and being attractive to students with better results

In Poland, at 14 (just year after Kania's cut off point) kids choose secondary school and at that stage the more gifted get swooshed together and the same goes for less gifted. No interference

You can think what you want. I was the lazy student that hears 'if only you applied yourself you could have straight As". Never had a problem with the material as such. Never was even close to be left behind at any year.

I just strongly believe in education and it's great powers. I also believe everyone should be given a shot and 70% shouldn't be disregarded.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]


No, it means we treat seriously the possibility of accidental shooting and chance of the gun being stolen.

But FFS it's none of your business. Go hug your guns and leave Poland and Europe alone

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2811]


We didn't. You can defend yourself including with gun. The laws around storing your gun don't negate that.

I do understand where they are coming from but they are misguided in my opinion. Don't take into account many factors, the fact that not every kid thrives in highly competitive environment etc.


Thank you. I wasn't a bad student but I could never be ar*ed to apply myself properly. I started to be better in high school and uni thanks to implementing strategies better suited to my needs (e.g. a big game changer for me was writing on loose pages in uni that I could sort into subjects later. I was always notorious for forgetting my specific notepad in school and then I couldn't carry on taking notes until I rewrote the missing notes etc. One year my friends rewritten few notebooks for me just because the teachers were so obsessed with them :) ) Not to mention at that stage I had greater impact as to what I'm learning


It's quite funny really. When I was in primary school we had a school that was always in competition with us. Both schools wanted to be on top. The other schools had a bit better area (only slightly as they were like 2 streets apart) and the approach of making 'better classes' with smarter kids. Mine didn't. Yet for all the years me and my siblings went there we kicked their asse* in sports and a learning competitions.


Of course there is.
And I do believe it was better if it was done at 16. Kids rarely know themselves yet, can have a clash with certain teachers etc. How many times did we see kids downmarked by teachers?
