Serious / Re: Swedish sword attack at a school.« on: October 28, 2015, 10:39:50 AM »Also worth noting is that many Jews secretly kept and did actually use their firearms. Most notably is a 1943 event where several hundred jews took up arms. In the end, they only managed to kill about 2 dozen nazi soldiers. All of those revolting were killed and the Nazi regime responded with even more violent measures, killing thousands of Jews in the ghetto and accelerating their efforts of deporting others to the concentration camps.What happened when Hitler took the guns?He only took guns away from Jews and in fact greatly loosened gun regulations for German citizens. The problem isn't that he disarmed the Jews, there were still plenty of people to cumulate a resistance. The problem is he had the full unwavering support of the people behind him. Had all Jewish citizens had their firearms regulated there was still no hope for them due to the ratio of German civilians that did possess firearms, not including the military who still would have steamrolled a resistance. 6278

Gaming / What game should my girlfriend play?« on: October 28, 2015, 04:33:13 AM »
My girlfriend does not know what game to play on her 3DS and told me to "ask my wonderful internet friends" which one she should play. So, be the gentlemen I know you all are and kindly let her know by means of democracy and popular vote. The only one she's played before is Majora's Mask, but that was the original back on the N64.

Tell people that criminals don't follow laws, that good law abiding citizens with guns are the only thing that stop bad guys with guns, that more guns make us safer and that arming more people is the best policy.

What people are arguing is that guns are far more lethal and effective at commiting these massacres than knives are. The story you posted only enforces that point, really.Wait, so you're actually this retarded? I thought you were trolling.Oh look at that, you don't need guns to hurt and kill many people.

Serious / Re: Is the Commonwealth about to make a glorious return?« on: October 26, 2015, 07:00:57 PM »Hard to say. First thing you need to know is that external relations with third countries (= everything outside of the EEA, EU, Eurozone) are still mainly left up to the European member states themselves to conduct inter-governmental relations with other countries for as long as they don't directly interfere with the workings or principles of the Union. The EU's foreign relations are generally limited to matters of trade, energy, economic sanctions, border control and so on. These matters are usually in the hands of the Commission, which is made up out of 28 commissioners (one for each member states) that are all there to present the interests of the EU rather than those of their own member state. Even if Poland would try to push anti-Russian members in this executive branch of the EU, it would still require a lot of other states to agree with it. It could however exert more power in a specific area of external relations, being the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). This is a very particular area of EU competence that focuses on European defense, security and diplomacy. The main player here is the Council (which is the other half of the bicameral legislative procedure with the Parliament) made up out of national ministers from the member states. As most of the decisions in this area require unanimity of member states, Polish ministers from the conservative party could do a lot more here.Ah thanks for clearing that up. The article I linked, must have been made by one of the aforementioned lazy commentators, seemed like it was trying to paint them as anti-EU. So do you see this as possibly paving the way for the EU as a whole to take a more hard line stance on Russia?Not a chance, I'd say. The conservative party really isn't that anti-EU. It still very much supports EU membership (just like the majority of Poles) and strives for the eventual succession to the Euro Zone when its standard of living catches up with the Western EU.Do you think they will go as far as to actually exit the EU?Ay. This is some pretty big news, although I don't see it change much just yet. Could influence the next European elections, but I don't think we're gonna see drastic changes any time soon. I think it's pretty unlikely that Poland alone could change the EU's actions against Russia unless it provided some very compelling arguments or plans, but it's possible that Poland's national policy towards Russia will affect some parts of the Union and how it treats Russia. 6294

You can't forget that despite its historic aversion to integration after the USSR, the EU demands, its relationship to Russia and the current refugee crisis, the country still owes the Union a lot. The EU provided it with a lot of opportunities and helped it become such a growing industry. It doesn't want to give that up. As the telegraph put it: Although the party is not anti-European Union (as some lazy commentators tend to suggest), it is very much sceptical of deeper European integration as a desirable end in of itself, and it also wants Poland to assert its national interest more forcefully in a number of key areas ranging from energy and climate policies to the EU’s stance towards Russia. The key point is that while Poles still overwhelmingly back EU membership, they want a greater degree of control over its development and direction. 6295

The Flood / Re: My dream may not have been crushed.« on: October 26, 2015, 04:48:18 PM »To be fair, sovereignty within the UK is pretty convoluted and unclear topic. I know the UK pretty well and still get it confused every so often. Colloquial definitions, political definition, historical definition all tend to differ here. For example, both Wales and England technically most definitely are actual countries with its own government, culture and official languages. Same goes for Great Britain, which despites just being an island is very often used as a synonym for the UK to the point that it even has an actual internationally recognized country code (GB/GBR).At least I know they are within the same country. It's not as if I expected you to name the home counties or anything is it?That question gave me cancer. Wales and England aren't even countries per se, just parts of the United Kingdom. Britain isn't a country either, it's the large island that Scotland, Wales and England comprise. The UK also includes Northern Ireland and the Channel islands, as well as the Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight, plus all of the Scottish islands. I mean, it may seem simple to you, but this topic is all but a clear one to people outside of the UK. I've even been in chats with multiple British people who all disagreed on what parts were or should be countries and how they all related. I talked to British guys on B.net who didn't even know that England is technically a country, still. Not knowing how exactly it all works or goes together really isn't something that you can blame a foreigner for. 6299
