My shy suggestion to what you say: old taboos which applied to individuals have fallen.
New taboos have been erected, as you say, to protect the whole groups groups from abuse.

Life / Political correctness in Poland [210]
Wow, perfect example:
Race reporting
Only mention someone's race if it is strictly relevant. Check to make sure you have it right. Would you mention race if the person was white? Do not sensationalise race relations issues; it harms black people and it could harm you.
Think carefully about the words you use. Words which were once in common usage are now considered offensive, e.g. half-caste and coloured. Use mixed-race and black instead. Black can cover people of Arab, Asian, Chinese and African origin. Ask people how they define themselves.
Immigrant is often used as a term of abuse. Do not use it unless the person really is an immigrant. Most black people in Britain were born here and most immigrants are white.
Investigate the treatment of black people in education, health, employment and housing. Do not forget travellers and gypsies. Cover their lives and concerns. Seek the views of their representatives.
Only mention the word gypsy or traveller if strictly relevant and accurate.
Same everywhere else in Europe.

she made a conscious decision to go to harder drugs. Nothing to do with one drug leading to another. In fact, she just wasn't happy with the highs she was getting, i.e. The drugs she was using before going onto heroin didn't suit her, so she kept experimenting until she found a drug that suited her the most.

Wrong! Do you ever read any books? If so, I recommend you to read an excellent book by a German ex-junkie girl who excellently describes her progress from soft drugs to heroine.
Sorry, your case is lost.
Myth! [quote=smurf]There isn't one single bit of hard solid evidence to say that weed leads to harder drugs. Certainly nothing that comes from objective research anyway. I'm sure you'll find plenty of research that says it does but you should dig deeper and find out who funded it, therein will lie the answer.

Weed is not addictive and therefore cannot and will not lead people onto harder drugs,

People choose to move onto harder drugs. They do not ever do it because of what they've taken before.

I can't say the same for nicotine and alcohol.........You guys can do the math on the meth, crack and heroin.

News / Man taken to court for abusing Poland's president [35]
Old report from April 2012
A man has heard charges of insulting Poland's president, after he set up a web site depicting Bronislaw Komorowski as "a prostitute, homosexual, drunkard and participant in sexual activity."
Robert F. (surname withheld under Poland's privacy laws) from Tomaszow Mazowiecki near Warsaw is being charged with falsifying documents and another person's indentity and could face a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Poland's Internal Security agency (ABW) raided the man's home last May and seized his computer and storage equipment..
New report
Lampooner of president in court
The trial has begun of a 26-year-old man who set up a "satirical" web site that lampoons President Bronislaw Komorowski.
Robert F. (publication of full name withheld under Polish law) has been charged with insulting the president, falsifying documents, and using another person's ID.
Supporters of the defendant have argued that the trial represents an attack on freedom of speech, with Robert F. now facing up to five years behind bars.
On arriving at the district court in Piotrkow Trybunalski, central Poland, on Wednesday morning, the 26-year-old told reporters that he did not regret setting up the web site, and he re-affirmed that the portal is "satirical."
The site in question, antykomor.pl, includes computer games with such titles as 'Komor Kiler' (Komor Killer), in which users can fire virtual vegetables at the president.
The trial follows a May 2011 raid on the defendant's flat in Tomaszow Mazowiecki, central Poland, by the Internal Security Agency (ABW), during which Robert F.'s computing equipment was confiscated.
Court throws out insulting president sentence

Yes, all the voting results and MPs` names from 2007 are available here:

or even better, at the official Polish Sejm site: sejm.gov.pl
You think it was arranged? :):):):) Come on, I was joking with that rising support for Tusk.... :):):):)
I wouldn`t call it terrible. Don`t exaggerate. It is only sad that the opposition to PO`s rule is so pathetic.
You must be for PiS, then.
It is time to start a little presentation of major players. Let`s start with Palikot Movement, because it was discussed on today`s evening news. They said the party currently is below 5% election minimum and that is why Palikot is planning a media campaign to boost his party`s popularity.
As for me, I don`t care if they are or aren`t in the future parliament. Palikot is a showman unable to introduce any positive changes in Poland. Once he headed a parliamentary commission called Friendly State and he did nothing for two years or so. Now he wants to propose major economic reforms. Pathetic.
His crusade against religion and for the legalisation of soft drugs are also not my cup of tea. E.g., he is going to put up such posters oin major Polish cities this autumn: You don`t believe in God? You are not alone.
Polish poster
Crazy.
Isn`t it obvious why he is the most distrusted politician in Poland? He even one-upped J. Kaczyński.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palikot%27s_Movement
Palikot wants to end religious education in state schools, end state subsidies of churches, legalize abortion on demand, give out free condoms,[21] allow same-sex civil unions,[6] switch to the Mixed-member proportional representation system,[citation needed] reform the Social Security Agency, dissolve the Senate,[22] legalize cannabis[23] and implement flat taxes.[24]
The voting result is posted on an electric board but is the way someone voted recorded or is discretion ensured?

But on the serious side, and I have said this before, it is terrible that people vote for a party just because they do not want others. It is also sad to see PO is only able to win by convincing people how terrible it would be if opposition parties managed to win.
