Travel / Hire a Car in Berlin to drive into Poland - can I cross the border driving it? [15]
Only unless it's allowed by the particular car hire service. You need to check with them.
The problem is that the insurance with hire cars doesn't always allow it.
In a worst case scenario the driver could be accused of car theft.
.In general terms does anyone know if it is 'allowed' to cross over into Poland with a German hire car?
Only unless it's allowed by the particular car hire service. You need to check with them.
This was in around 1995 or thenabouts, but renting a car and driving ought to be no different in procedure.

In a lot of ways this is on topic, since that particular political tendency in Poland do have a fixation with the subject. And that fixation is just one more factor (of many) that has made them a laughing stock.
Do you remember TinkyWinkygate, when one of their so-called ministers wanted to ban the Tellytubbies?

Travel / Driving in Poland, are there any rules at all? [149]
It's a sad thing when a country is right up there near the top of the accident statistics and even sadder when the drivers blame "the roads". If a road is bad, it means you drive more carefully.
My (much closer than just a) friend was run over and killed when crossing a road in central Warsaw by a speeding driver who didn't slow down when he approached a crossing. No prosecution, since he was apparently a Polish 'VIP'. If I ever find him...
Poles - be ashamed of your driving.

Very very sensible. It's also worth googling yourself (and use the right search terms, not just your name especially if it's a common one), seeing what's out the and taking what steps you can to make sure it's all OK.
And never, ever, post your full name and address (and certainly not d.o.b) together online.
But online dating should be private. There's nothing remotely wrong with it (as long as you're discerning about who you agree to meet and take sensible precautions.

Just as people using online dating are not breaking the law. The hackers however are very much breaking the law.

You're very entitled to say that, but really it's neither here nor there in relation to Ukraine's sovereignty. If having corruption issues (as do so many countries including Poland, Italy and most of South America) was justification for another country with even more corruption issues to invade them, then fine. But it isn't.
Hide sources in what way? By citing them? I don't much like the phrase 'LOL' but it really does fit here.
See above. Unless you still pretend that any source that has been put online and indexed by a search engine is not infact reliable. Another LOL...
A brutal and bloody invasion 'close ties'? Come off it!
I was ONLY saying that the previous government was corrupt, and the new one, supported by the West (as "democratic") is at least as corrupt if not more.

I expect people who debate with me to check their sources and share them with me, and not hide them. Otherwise, the argument is null and void.

I did wonder, but it was a bit weak. Reminds me of a funny joke about a Pole at the opticians that you might like (not the US kind of Polish joke) but if you want to hear it then we should go to random chat.
About the people I saw and recognised when the Polish pro-democracy march passed by, all of them were ordinary enough people, ones you would probably get on with. It's a genuine grassroots movement, no more the people you mention than the average PiS voter is in any way like the crank Macierewicz.
