Don't be so silly Po. Firstly, your 'murder' theory is far from accepted. Secondly, if it were true, how do you reconcile that with the PIS regime currently compromising on what you ridiculously consider 'murder'?

That's right. There used to be a couple of places that specialised in it but they're now gone. People do buy cartons, especially at Makro and Selgros but they are rare.

L&Bs are not generally smoked in Poland; they are a foreign brand that isn't marketed here. You may find them at a larger wholesaler however they are not generally a retail product here nor would a typical wholesaler stock them. Makro sometimes has them, but not always. Marlboro lights are 15.50zl a packet for box packets and 15zl a packet for soft packets. You may find a tiny discount if you buy by the carton however not always.

There you go again, trying to get personal when you have nothing to say. And yes, PIS have peaked already and it's now downhill all the way and a pleasure to watch.
The absolute watershed will come if Jaro appoints himself as Premier again.

Unlikely, since their ratings are plunging and people have seen through their neo-fascist agenda already. The end of the beginning was a long time ago and we've already seen the beginning of the end.

Even better would be a constitutional amendment requiring all publicly paid posts to be filled through open public recruitment

Plenty of traditional dishes here that don't contain meat, however one issue (aside from the horrendous cruelty of factory farming) is all the wędliny, basically processed food and very unhealthy.
If you want an area of food in which Poland excels (perhaps the main area) think about the soups. Most of them not meat based and some of them excellent.

Yes, that's true. And even a world of difference between that and those very few desperately unfortunate babies who even if they weren't aborted as foetuses before delivery have only a few days or weeks of extreme pain and distress to look forward to before an agonising death.
But hey, maybe that's "part of God's plan".
And they say that those of us who would end those wretched lives painlessly and with dignity are the bad guys.
There's a difference between needing care (even lots of it) and needing to essentially feed off of someone else's body

Laws change. The abject failure of PIS attempts to turn the clock back suggest that in 20 years the law may well be very different. Right now, Polish women are happy to cross the border for medical procedures that are currently unavailable at home.

So what? If their doctor had said nothing they'd ended up with very damaged kids the story would be different. On medical matters, doctors are the experts, not clergy.
Anyway, I've got a strange pain in my leg so I'm off to see the vicar - maybe he can cure it.
