No. The next thing on the list isn't the right to bear arms, it's freedom of religion. Have a read about Taco Don's "Religious Liberty Commission". (Note: it's only about being the kind of Christian who believes that it's OK to have black people as slaves and to kill gay men for being gay, because that's what the bible says, and of course the bible is the only true holy book.)

No, they're overwhelming flown by utter morons.

Life / Why oh Why do Poles drive so incredibly poorly [109]


Rubbish. I could solve Poland problem with excessive speed in 12 months and at zero cost to the taxpayer. All that needs to be done is outsourcing enforcement to the private sector. Just give any company that wants one a sealed unit containing a speed sensor and a camera, then let them put the things where-ever they want and give them 10% of the fines generated. The problem isn't cultural, it's that there's pretty much zero enforcement, along with minimal fines on the rare occasions when the police are checking speeds, so people think they can just drive at whatever speed they want.

I'd go further and pay bounties to people who provide film of other drivers driving illegally. Got a video of somebody driving at 140 km/h two metres behind the car in front? That's a four thousand zloty fine for him and one thousand zloty tax-free cash for you? Or a video of somebody overtaking on a zebra crossing? Say hello to a tax-free grand from the four he's just been fined. Did you get a video of ten cars overtaking on double white lines? Here's five grand from the twenty they've been fined.

I know for a fact that cameras plus the ability to send film to the police really works. I have an MX-5 with a rear-facing camera that's hard to see when the top is up but very easy to see when the top is down. When the top is up and I'm overtaking on the motorway I regularly get prats coming right up behind and then sitting two metres from my bumper flashing their lights, but when the top is down they zoom up behind and then very quickly drop back to a very safe distance.


They also have significantly higher fines (although in the UK the extra hit from insurance is often higher than the actual fine). Finland has something else I'd like to see introduced in Poland: traffic fines based on income. A four grand fine is a lot of money for somebody on minimum wage but far less to somebody on 30k a month. Although, with this being Poland and so many clever people officially earning minimum wage but somehow driving a leased car that cost 500,000zl, we'd need to have fine which are either a certain percentage of the person's wage or a certain percentage of the value of the car in which the offence was committed, whichever is higher.

From what I remember, the main Arab leader in the Palestine region during WWII, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, was a very enthusiastic henchman of Hitler and raised an SS division from among his people.

Let me name some criminal offences: fraud, forgery, grand larceny and grand theft auto. Your good buddy here has been convicted of all four, at separate trials. So, do you consider him to be a criminal or do you actually agree with the statement you posted?

I hope you remember that one of the most right-wing people here, someone who advocates shooting those unable to work, is in reality a felon who has been convicted of felonies a four separate trials in three different decades and four different states. Do you consider him to be a criminal or do you actually agree with the statement you posted?

BTW, nobody believes for a second that you've never even driven at one mile an hour over the speed limit, so aren't you also a criminal?

Go to Lidl when they have their American week and get some bacon-fried onion. Serious next level stuff.


I think I'd trust an Asian over a Pole when it comes to anything involving curry. Obviously Poles know sausage better, but it's the curry that makes a currywurst better than a bratwurst and Poles tend to be genetically allergic to anything involving spice.

Or at least things that you really hoped were deliberately sprinkled to be crunchy bits on top...
And even those places used to close about 11pm. If you had the munchies, your choices were a 24-hour shop or the food bus.


Getting back to Germany, why go all the way to Berlin and fail to have a currywurst? That would be the wurst decision you could make!

You're 100% wrong there. Some Poles eat little except kebabs. The blokes at the garage just down the street from me get their lunch from the kebab shop the other side of the street five days a week! When the garage was closed for two weeks over the summer for their summer holidays the kebab shop was closed too.


They even have naan bread and poppadoms now (although the naans from Lidl are better).


There basically wasn't any late night food before kebabs. Remember late '90s Warsaw? Late night (i.e. after the kiosks on pl Konstytucji closed) dining was that food bus near the central station and that was about it! Then in the early '00s that Oscar toasted sandwich place opened, quickly expanded to seven or eight places and then just as quickly disappeared. But in smaller cities there simply was no late night (or middle of the afternoon) food until kebabs arrived.

Next time you go to any small town in Poland, see how many kebab shops there are. They pretty much all do now. I know towns that are too small to even have an ATM but still have a kebab shop.


That's interesting. Do you happen to have a source with hard data showing that >50.0001% of migrants who've been in Germany for at least five years are claiming benefits and not working?
