Language / Should I learn Polish or she learn English? [68]


We both understand each other's to a degree however it's worth remembering that when there are five countries, five languages involved in your life then you have to be practical, consistent and also to a degree economical. When communicating in languages that aren't your first is an everyday thing for you and sometimes challengingly annoying then you'd better to pick one and it's the one where both parties are fluent.

Hehe.

I've seen that often enough but far more often HWDP especially 20-30 years ago in Warsaw. It was written everywhere; you couldn't avoid it. It was something that stood out when I arrived.

Me too. Especially Codewords. I'm just getting into cryptic crosswords now.

Juggling is beyond me in terms of coordination.

I can wiggle my ears though.

He actively goes out of his way to post really nasty sh1t, pictures of dead soldiers, racist stuff, homophonic stuff, sexist stuff, anti-Polish stuff. Like a race to the bottom

Shazam exists in Poland. I used it yesterday.


Check it out nowadays. It has various new features.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2587]


I do. Perhaps compare your town with the suburb I live in. Or your state capital with Poland's capital.

We have far less crime.


And it compares well with most European capitals too.

If Jim thinks America is crime free compared to Poland, perhaps he should look at gun crime rates.

It's bizarre to suggest Poland should worsen its firearms laws when they work well.

I do.

How's your state capital for crime, troll?

It has, and we enjoy living somewhere safer than you do.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2587]


So do our deer. So does wildlife in Poland. Yet we manage this without weak gun controls.


Why?

And in the highly unlikely situation that safety laws are weakened, there will be strict controls, for example not giving them to people with a history of felony, people who've taken Prozac etc for depression and people who haven't been screened by a psychiatrist or psychologist.


From tanks?

You are paranoid and weak.

Because they like to show off and have a 'taste' for baubles rather than taking care of the people's money.

Meanwhile, their soldiers eat 40 year old ration packs.

Put your crystal ball down.

Opinion has been consistent here for a long time.


Sources?

And will they also explain what happens to franc-tireurs in wartime?

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2587]


No, how things are.

You might notice that the people in this thread from Europe are not advocating for the gun laws to be worsened here.

Perhaps less catastrophic than in your country (and Canada sadly has a high level of gun ownership too).

In Europe, people are happy the way things are.

Language / Should I learn Polish or she learn English? [68]


One reason for making small interim goals and having a way of measuring if you've achieved them. Sometimes goals should be baby steps; setting them too high (or too vague) makes them harder to achieve.


Only Polish for us since we don't speak each other's first language, and after all, we're in Poland. It works for us. Among friends only Polish except for one person with whom I mix Polish and English because she's learnt English well but doesn't have an opportunity to speak it.

You beat me to it. I read that late last night and thought of posting it here but had other thing s to do.

It's amazing that things like that can happen in a supposedly developed country. Doubtless some of the trolls here will say that they think she should have had a gun too. Perhaps they like shootouts with bullets flying everywhere.


Yes. The gun laws here work and of course there is no significant public opinion in favour of weakening them.

Poland has no plans to change gun laws to those of another country.

A few times. Not many.

This war is in Europe though, and it's clear from the way things are going politically that the three major European countries, the UK, France and Germany will need to handle this ourselves. The UK is already taking the lead. As a member of Five Eyes and AUKUS and still a member of NATO, your country will have a role, however the current bolki-lolki in your parliament suggest that it will not be a leading one.

The USA was in the wrong of course, as they have been in pretty well everything related to Cuba.

He may well be in jail.


Ukraine should do it more.


That's for them to address, not for you to worry about. In any case, President Zelenskiy has recently signed the mobilisation order into law.

Someone today (either the Secretary of State for Defence Grant Shapps or the Armed Forces Minister James Heappey) said that they expect the conflict to last into 2026.

And as Lord Cameron is now brokering the deal for £220 billion of seized orc 'assets' to be used for Ukraine, they will have a much stronger war chest

And meanwhile r*SSia is massively expanding their cemeteries to cope with the corpses of the men they have thrown into their pointless met grinder. May they fvck off out of Ukraine and stop the killing.
