Thats the only positive aspect of Xmess. When im in the country, i work at the food kitchen in a homeless shelter and donate lots of stuff.
Too bad that i get into that mood once a year only.
One positive change from the commie days, however, is the growth of charitable activites.

Working in the kitchen should be fine without language skills.
We even have an American church, where i worked as a driver.
Maybe they have something similar in Poland.
My Polish is a bit rusty:
homeless shelter = schronisko dla bezdomnych?
charity work = praca charytatywna?
I dont remember the word for "donate".

LOL, so you think removing shoes is the best they can do? They can fly you out to Guantanamo without a trial and without anybody knowing. There you will receive such nice treatments like waterboarding, sleep deprivation etc.. And all that because your neighbour didnt like your new car and planted some evidence.
I am sure you wouldnt mind living in a police state. I for one enjoy my privacy and resent the idea of living in fear.
No its not. Its other than the rest a two way road. There is no way in hell i would allow some selfrighteous state organs to install trojans on my computer.
You have some really strange world views...

Obviously normal kantors are a ripoff and exchanging money in the bank is downright stupid.
While researching alternate possibilities, i stumbled upon online kantory like:

Has anybody used them?
Are there any hidden costs?
Are there other ways to exchange Euros that arent a complete robbery?

I thought we were talking about Poland.
There you go.
Everybody can vote and each vote counts the same. Whats not free and fair about that?
Please do.
Articles like that are being written everyday and fortunately it is not mainstream.
What other religions? Poland is still one of the few strongholds of Catholicism in Europe.
Liberals have the liberty to choose what they believe. And pro-choice is not pro-death but pro-reason. ;)
All in all you are twisting the statements to suit your believes and not very good at that.
Edit: And im sure there is something like the fascistopedia, where you can find your views of gasing Jews and rounding up gays.
Delphdope obviously never read enough wiki or he would see that a few sentences below it says...
"According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, "In the United States liberalism is associated with the welfare-state policies of the New Deal program of the Democratic administration of Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt"
