News / Presidential elections and debates 2015 Poland [472]

How do you feel about the people not electing the man who wields the most power?I understand that the people vote for the party

members,but it's not the same.what title are party members given?I imagine they're the equivalent of our Senators?We have the

electoral college which people are not to fond of.Although only two presidents have lost in the popular vote,Just the fact that that
can happen,I find detestable.

Paiwan,I should have wrote bloc of senators,I spelled it wrong.Does the PM serve at the pleasure of his party and can be removed

as in the British system?If this is so,does it also apply to your President?

Thank you for the information Jon357.Is there a Vice President or a Deputy PM?Do they run on the same ticket as the President

or PM candidates,or are they selected after the fact?I appreciate any information.I retain information better through dialogue than
just reading.

Paiwan, what role does your President play?Is the president usually from the same party as the PM.

Life / Do Polish names generally have a meaning to them or a particular structure?. [88]

I completely agree with you about British influence Ishatu2.As for snobbery I'm sure the ratio for those who are as opposed to
those who are not;is probably close to the same in Poland.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2808]

Nuncka, What America do you live in?If there has been any upheaval it probably has something to do with the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

As an American I can tell you this is not widespread.

I had meant to write not insinuating.

Rozumiemnic,I would hope your insinuating that all Americans are disgustingly snobbish.

A block can refer to a group.Thanks for the info.sorry for the confusion Paiwan.

News / Presidential elections and debates 2015 Poland [472]

Paiwan,Is a coalition similar to a block of senators or parties.In America we have to dominant parties as I'm sure you probably know.

John357,Thank you.I'm not familiar with the coalition and party system of Poland.Could the President be a stronger figure based on
the strength of his party or coalition?

Love / Prevention of child abduction by Polish mother. [232]

Anglik1, Only you know your motivations and the situation as it is.I myself suggest listening to your lawyer.We can go on and on

about men and women.If you have searched your heart and decided on a course.Then stick with it and You don't have to justify

yourself to anyone.I hope it works out the best for you and the child.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2808]

Some people attack with knives,Not as many Americans own guns as you may think.Quite a bit do not.If someone comes through
the door with a gun,I want a gun to answer with.The only flash is going to be from a muzzle.I'm not going to take a chance with a

bat.

News / Presidential elections and debates 2015 Poland [472]

I notice that In Poland your campaigning starts a bit earlier than ours,Who is a more powerful figure the President or the Prime minister?

or does it depend on the strength of their collectiive parties?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2808]

Peterweg,Where did you get a statistic like that?If you can flash a gun on someone who broke into your house with say a club in his

hand,disaster averted.If they see the barrel of the gun.It's a pretty safe bet they will desist.Let's say a 1000 to 1 they will.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2808]

I don't know what He's talking about.Booze and St.Paddy's, a volatile mix!How is the crime rate in Poland?If anyone would answer my

previous questions I'd appreciate it.My belief in the right to bear arms doesn't only have to do with crime.

News / Presidential elections and debates 2015 Poland [472]

Paiwan,when do your candidates start campaigning and what month are elections held in?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2808]

If someone attacks me in my house with a gun I'd rather have a gun;If they don't you can just flash it and you don't have to hurt any one.

Has there ever been a push to own guns in Poland,Peterweg?I agree with Kondzior about Poland having to develop a gun culture.I am

just curious about how the Polish view gun ownership.Is there hunting in Poland.I mean for food not sport.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2808]

I'm thinking more along the lines of home invasion.You can deter someone pretty quickly.You do have people who are irresponsible and
do stupid things with guns;but by and large this is not the case.Where I live in Massachusetts the gun laws are probably the toughest

the country.It is a mandatory year in prison for an unregistered gun.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2808]

I didn't notice the previous thread.As for pro gun lobbyists lying about Europe I wouldn't know.People often cite the murder rate of the U.S.

when this issue comes up.How many of these murders involve a gun?You'd be surprised.The Media sensationalizes it so much that you

would think it is commonplace to witness a shooting here.It's not.It's not as easy to obtain a gun legally here as one might think.It is easier

down south,but still not a cakewalk.I believe in the right to bear arms.When I lived in Alaska I owned several and had a lot of fun target

shooting.They are also good for protection should the need arise.It was easier then to get guns.Early 90's.

Love / Prevention of child abduction by Polish mother. [232]

Child abduction by a parent is wrong,but I feel it is not as heinous as if someone else did it.

Merged: Is gun ownership legal in Poland?

Gun ownership is legal in the U.S..I was just curious if this is so in Poland

News / Controversial exhibition of Hitler's Art in Szczecin, Poland [14]

Big difference between the internment camps in America and their purpose as opposed to Auschwitz and the like.As for Hitler's art it's

nothing to write home about,But it will draw attention.

UK, Ireland / There's not a lot wrong with Poles in the UK. There's just too many of them. [72]

To shadow K and Oxon,I agree that immigrants should try to respect their hosts insomuch as they get it in return.To decide that I'm going to

treat my hosts as s**t because their government has bad foreign policy or it's corporations exploit my home is a pretty f***ing weak argument.

If you want to be disrespectful,just say "I want to be disrespectful",but don't justify it with lame excuses for acting like a jackass.

Life / Television in Poland - embarrassingly bad? [44]

I live in Boston.People surviving on a tropical island for money is not exactly what I'd call a reality show.If I walk down the street,I will see cops,tow truck drivers and there are several major medical facilities within a several block radius.Pay attention to the gist of what I'd posted.

UK, Ireland / There's not a lot wrong with Poles in the UK. There's just too many of them. [72]

In part I agree with what Oxon said about the media twisting things on the issues of race,But in his case he is making undeniably racist comments.He is relegating his comments to race rather than individuals.The sad thing is I believe he really believes he is not being racist.I don't

know this person well enough to unequivocally say that he is an intentional racist.There is a difference.Racism is still apparent in America;but we have come a long way.

History / Should Poland be given ANY credit for ALLOWING Jews into Poland for 1000 years? [195]

Either every one is an expert on the bible or no one is.That's my honest belief.

Life / Television in Poland - embarrassingly bad? [44]

I have to say that America does have some lousy tv.I myself can't understand our predisposition with reality shows.I always thought of television

as an escape.Why watch on tv, what I can easily see if I take a walk.They actually have one for tow truck drivers.lol it's quite embarrassing.

UK, Ireland / There's not a lot wrong with Poles in the UK. There's just too many of them. [72]

You should really think before writing your rhetoric.You come off as racist.

Immigrants continue to flock to the United States in a steady stream.I have met some very hard working and honest immigrants.I do not have

a problem with immigration;It is after all,how our country was developed.I say that if you pledge allegiance to the flag;then you should be of that

flag.I don't care for terms such as Polish American,Afro American,Chinese American etc. so forth and so on.I believe you should say American.

It is ok to have pride in your place of origin,I understand that,but your place of origin should not be put in front of your adopted country.This is how I believe.If you have a Polish immigrant who is a harder worker than the prospective native;then the Pole should be hired.There are unfortunately a lot of people in this country who despise immigration for this reason.I would say this is true in England too.
