Law / Weapons laws in Poland. Carrying a concealed handgun? [918]

Czech, Switzerland , Norway etc do not have lax gun laws like the States - you can not buy an AK at Tesco, Migros etc. And you certainly can not carry them around in any European country. The level of gun crime in most European countries including France is many times less than in the US. All of that has been discuss3d many times before.

Your "gun facts" graph about the U.K. is ridiculous - in fact 99 percent of guns were banned in Britain from 1920 onwards - in 1996 they banned the other 1 percent, after the only school shooting in history in the U.K. one is too many the govt decided and quite rightly didn't not want any more made me walking around witheasy access to handguns.

The only countries on your graph with higher rates than the US seem to be Central American states and a few places in Africa. Shouldn't you compare yourselves to the other rich democracies ?

IS I basically agree with you that life is created at the end moment of conception. This is why I oppose abortion on healthy foetuses.

On those that are not healthy then what is your solution for caring for those children ? Is it the states responsibility or the parents (for sure it is not the church who steps up fort hat) On a practical level then support for these children and their families is virtually non existent. I don't know if it's true because I saw it on my facebook feed but I read the govt even wants to cut refunding of drugs for premature children. The proposed law does not include any extra support for parents.

Wtf - there are some truly weird arguments for guns but this is the weirdest. I am certain that texting while driving cause more deaths than guns in Poland. Thats because gun crime is very rare here. It's rare because guns are strictly controlled.

Next week...smoking kills thousands of Poles a year, maybe we should ban smoking and not guns.

No - there are also Indians asking about visas.

Step one is to move all the alt right stuff about Sweden to a single thread. Those posters rarely comment on anything that is not political. If it is vaguely poltical they soon start spouting about cucks, moslems in trucks running over cucks, neckbeards, msn etc

Not in Poland it's not. You can only get abortion here under strict circumstances. Most people in Poland think the current law is OK - only the hard line church support the governments proposal.

Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with this proposed law.

News / "It's too late for Germany" (but not for Poland) [1798]

The rest of what you said was a rant about how she should stay in Germany. In fact she is still working at the migrant center and she has no intention to emigrate.

Which makes your whole thread off-topic.

However, to simplify life can't we just have one thread about Moslems in Sweden, Germany, Netherlands or any other richer country - it's got nothing t do with Poland and you and Dirk spamming the board with these articles, half of which are fake and the other half creatively worded is really not worth so many different threads.

USA, Canada / So happy to be Polish-American [43]

Welcome !

I asked because there were a large number if untrue things in your few sentances -

Poland does not have the lowest crime rate in Europe, far from it. There are 13 EU countries with lower crime indexes including some like Austria and Netherlands that have substantial immigrant populations

Poland has strict gun control laws - thankfully there is almost zero public support for relaxing them.

Russia has a large population of Muslims - 9m, way more than any other European nation. Many are well integrated and have been for many generations there. Some were probably there when the Poles briefly held Moscow.

You are probably mixing Slovakia with Hungary in your discussion of immigration.

As for the stuff about atrocities then whole immigration is a huge challenge for Europe, there is little to back up your claim about unrecorded ones but plenty of other threads if you want to stir things up on a continent far from your own house.

The original link is fake news. It even says it is fake news in the link.

Stephen you are welcome here better get your skates on - after Brexit you won't be able to move here without a work permit. You won't get a work permit without a marketable skill, an invitation from an employer and realistically that means speaking good Polish. If there is a transition signed then that gives you a bit more time but if not then you have until next March.

Why dont you send the docs by fedex or ups ? Would be cheaper than an apostille but much less risk than the post

Travel / Seeking recommendations for car travel from Gdansk' GDN airport to Poznan [5]

It depends a bit which way you go - if via Bydgoszcz then there are plenty of places to stop.

If via Torun then note that there are no really clean or kid friendly places to stop between Torun and the McD in Gniezno. The reason is that bypass have been built round Torun and Inowroclaw but so far there are no gas stations or fast food there. There is an old Statoil at Suchatowka that is acceptable but not great. Its just been renovated so might be ok now

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Sweden

Not really - there has been a slight increase in murders since 1993 but no clear correlation to immigration.

Gun murders definitely increased but but the total of 45 is still for example half of the annual number in a comparatively quiet town like Charlotte NC. If you wanted to compare Malmo to a real murder capital, like Gary Indiana then you would need a bigger computer screen to handle the graph.

Rape has increased as discussed many times due to different ways of recording it in Sweden.

Burglaries have actually decrease and what there is has been blamed on Easrt Europeans.

The Sepctator is a good read but it is a pretty right wing organ, the house journal of the Brexit nut jobs wing of the Tory party.

God knows what the story is with the hand Grenades - they obviously came at some point from Bosnia. If it would appear they are used for gang warfare, presumably they are easier to hide than a gun.

Since most of the people here slating Swedish crime rates are American its worth reminding that it is a far safer country than the US. And no before you use your bizarre logic Sig, pointing out these facts does not mean I dont care about rape victims

Most women in this position are married and in loving relationships. And they do have to look after the dusabled child - the govt support proposal was a special bonus of 1500 zloty - half the wage of a cleaner in McDonalds.

I am against aborting healthy foetuses btw

Can you find any writing by Adorno or Horkeimer or Leopold that mentions abortion ? It was several decades ago that i studied that and it was dull but i dont remember any of it discussing abortion.

In fact i had not thought about it for years until i read Andrew Breitbarts half baked book last year, and on googling "Frankfurt school abortion" then the first few pages are by anti semitic whackjobs, mostly in the US. But I am sure you can put me right.

There were I am sure a good number of PiS voters in those crowds yesterday - PiS did very well among working class mums in 2015 but a lot were on the streets.

My strong advice is to get your accountant to sign his name under that specific advice. Im not a tax specialist but im an experienced accountant and as I said in 2013 i was told using krus for non farming activities was no longer possible - its not only the law but the way its interpreted in local zus offices.

Certainly not intending to use the zus in future does not ger you off the hook.
