Off-Topic / USA News and Poland - part 18 [487]

"If the government does not bow to the will of the people, the people have the right to overthrow the government"
- Thomas Jefferson

Pesky ICE agents represent an unwarranted intrusion. Often, an idiot version of the Keystone Cops arrests LEGAL citizens by "mistake'.
What restitution is made to THEIR families, huh?

Last time I looked, in the US, a citizen is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a jury of their peers.

Legal expediency never serves the ends of justice!

Life / Using less American stuff in Poland [59]

You're missing the point, Alien.

The point is that once, high class living was available to most New Yorkers of all classes.
One needn't have been a millionaire to live as one.

USA, Canada / American wanting to move to Poland from USA - how hard is it? [61]

One reason, Alien, why there remains far more uniform quality of work among medical practitioners in Germany than in the States.

Here, dentists and others actually believe some citizens are entitled to the best services, while others are not

Right on!

See Rich, I can still remember the
all too
rapid demise of the erstwhile "Cafe Society" around the end of the mid-sixties, when stock brokers and school teachers could chat at an Upper East Side soiree, regardless of the chasmic divide in earnings, and yet enjoy some seemimgly endless cultured conversation over a nice Beaujolais.

Had you decided to speak French, just think of the worlds that would have opened up for you, Rich!
You would have COMMUNICATED instead of approximated what you wanted to express.

Sign and body language is not universal and showing someone the middle finger only goes so far.

Well, apropos, outsourcing's what killed the US economy post Reagan!
Less production here at home, more reliance on foreign goods and services.
No-brainer, dude.
We see the reverse is true in Europe as well.

Life / How would you describe the Polish sense of humour? [79]

Oh, I have, Maf.
But most of my experience derives both from Polish cinema as well as having spent time in Greenpoint, along with reading about Poland, both in Polish, German, and in English

Language / Why is the Polish language so difficult? [375]

Freedom is not measured in gratuity, my friend!
Opening up to the world means getting to know your neighbors as individuals, not as stereotypes.

Couldn't have imagined living and working abroad as I did for as long as I did without knowing the local language(s). Would've been bored out of my guord.

Guess you have either a higher tolerance for boredom than yours truly or merely a thicker skin.
Or maybe just a thicker head.

Various top Nazis such as SA head Ernst Roehm were gay, you realize.
Drug addiction among the rank and file was common as well.
Merely to set the record straight.
