Life / Smoking ban - will this be coming to Poland like other EU countries? [183]
They already are found, but new one would have to be found, or the existing taxes for those "essentials" would have to go up.
Evil things have their good sides.
Take oil. Bad, bad, causes pollution and $hit so we're gonna move to green energy. And make millions go hungry when we switch to biofuels.
Or taker CFLs. They sent coupons in Ontario to buy energy efficient light bulbs. Millions of people did.The next thing you know, they want to increase energy pricece because... CFL bulbs don't allow them to sell as much energy as the need to meet their bottom line.
In Canada complete ban on smoking would mean some $4 to $5B taken out of the revenue. That means up to $280 more in taxes a year per each employable (not necessary employed) Canadian,
Taxes will always be found to fund what is essential.

You didn't read what I wrote.
Smokers do pay for their own health issues related to smoking by paying gobs of money in cig. taxes. Considering that those smoking related illnesses account for only 30%+ of the money smokers pour into the health system, the smokers should actually get better health coverage than non-smokers.
I know even better option, no public funds at all for health problems of smokers caused by their behavior with full awarenesses of the consequences.

Like the computer and the keyboard you used to type the above.

That's true only for those who still haven't lost their jobs to their Chinese counterparts.
Boycott all Chinese products.

I beg to differ. I think the World economy would improve and the Chinese would be weaker

At that time Russia was still a feudal (one might even say Medieval) country in all aspects.
People were not free.
during the 18th Century, there was the beginning of reform, as Russia was taking first steps toward moving into the 'industrial age'

Sorry for interrupting, but in order to enslave someone that someone needs to be free. I'm not sure the Russian people had ever been free before the Bolshevism.
Bolshevism, which, in fact, wasn't a 'Russian' system at all...it was an alien system that enslaved the Russian people

Or maybe the wife doesn't.

That is ridiculous and all my lawn mowing fantasies are practically wrecked by the time I reach cookware section.

I don't think there is so much animosity hereon PF. Notice that all the hatered comes from the same few, repeating the same slogans ad nausea. Others who join in perhaps do not feel hatred but they do not feel enough sympathy to stay neutral.
Other than that, look at the majority of non-Poles here. All these people trying to learn something about Poland, including our language. Hats off to those. It's a very difficult task.

It boils down to Brits and such moaning about the fate of the nation whose presence in their own countries they resented and where pogroms were much too frequent. So they gave Jews an option - don't be Jews or get the fvck out.
hat's what Poles are accused of. As long as this stinking sewage from the example runs down the street, as long the Poles will have their right to 'moan'.

What a waste of good quality electrical tape.
A side note; I find so called pornographic magazines less pornographic than most action, horror and war movies, and certainly less pornographic and violent than the Bible.
As Larry Flynt once remarked; in news media we are shown people being killed, imprisoned and persecuted and that's fine. But when we see two (or more) people having sex we protest.
please tell me the name of the polish magazine for women that shows nude men in compromising positions so that i can order it for myself.
