Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

Probably because so many people in Poland have the same blood as I.

Surprise: people in Africa, Asia and elsewhere do, too...

USA, Canada / Cigarettes reach nine dollars a pack in New York [110]

You can tax junk food easily...

In theory... . I would love to see all those lobbyists of the food industry scream if someone would try. A longer shelf life and higher profits have always been more important than a few million people killed by trans fats for example.

and the junk food prices sky high

Here in the US junk food is everywhere as you know. Just browse a random food aisle of your local Safeway: hydrogenated vegetable oils everywhere, trans fats, corn syrup, and so on. All the crap that makes you fat first and kills you later. You can't increase prices on all those products, as they are so widespread.

USA, Canada / To move back to Poland from the USA or not to move back....that is the question [119]

the thought of living the "American-dream" for the next 50 years is horrendous

That's a normal thought almost everybody has shortly before entering the rat race. If I were you I would take a year off and travel around the world. Enjoy life to the fullest and then come back. On the long run work sucks anyway - no matter where you live.

News / Is NORD STREAM dangerous for Poland's natural enviroment? [516]

2009 is more similar to 1939 than you like to acknowledge

To imply that a simple business deal is comparable to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact is nonsense, IMHO. We are talking about the delivery of oil, not about a military attack on Poland.

Life / Things that annoy you in Poland. [114]

because we drive carefully

You cannot drive faster simply because you're towing your caravan all the time... ;-)
