  1. Yes, people can move. It's kinda hard to do that with a weapon, though. Nations usually don't really like it when foreigners cross borders armed, it doesn't really have a good record...

    Dude, my country has a recorded history that predates yours, so please don't assume shit when you know nothing.

    But it's Polish jokes you want? Ok, here we go.

    Polish tourism campaign: Visit Poland! Your car already does.

    Why do Russian car thieves steal two cars in Germany? Because they know they still have to go through Poland.

    Why was Germany so happy when Ratzinger was elected Pope? Because it was the first time a German took a job from a Polish guy.

    What does the warranty for Polish Battleships say? Void if brought in contact with water.

    Who won the Miss Poland contest? An Ukrainian woman.

    Why do we know that Christ wasn't born in Poland? Because the story talks about three wise men and a virgin.

    What do you do when the Polish throw a Grenade at you? Pull the pin and throw it back.

    How was copper wire invented? The Pole and the town Jew found a penny at the same time.

    How do you put on Polish underwear? Yellow to the front, brown to the back.

    What's the long and hard thing a Polish bride gets at her wedding day? A last name.

    Oh, and by the way, don't let anyone tell you to polish up your English. I think your English is Polish enough.

    You're certainly able to name any of those other countries, yes?

    If you want to say UK, you might want to do a little more research on how the UK system works, along with it being a VERY different kind of country. Hint: Scotland is ... think the southern states around 1850.

    First past the post can only lead to a two party system. Take a look at the US and realize that it has always been a two party system. The parties may change, but essentially that's what it is.

    It's been about a century now that a candidate that wasn't from one of the two major parties came in second. We're not even talking about winning.

    Worse than that. They have been brainwashed to think that what is essentially indistinguishably similar is different, no, even "extremes".

    It's part of the EU, I guess that's what you wanted to say. Unless you want to say that Mexico ain't part of America...

  11. Billions? I didn't know the number of US citizens got so out of control, I guess it's about time Trump built that fence!

    And talk about your country. In mine, a concealed carry permit is near impossible to get. Still, I'd wager that a higher percentage of people in my country had professional training with assault rifles than in the US.

    Wrap your mind around that.

  12. Yeah, it climbs from "impossible" to "next to impossible".

  13. ...they account for about half of all suicides and far less than half of all suicide attempts.

    What you said there is "if you want to off yourself, use a gun. It's far more likely to succeed than most other ways".

  14. I could have that at home, but that's a little bit like the popcorn throwers and the phone talkers, I don't mind doing without it...

    Great. You avoid them. So do I. That's already half the problem done, now let's go and educate the millions of others who will buy those things.

    The problem is not you or me. The problem is that "internet connectivity" is another checkbox in the little card that gives people information about the appliance they're looking at at Wal-Mart, Cosco and whatever other chains there are that can't give you any idea about the things they sell 'cause they themselves have no idea about them.

    And this TV has 6 checkboxes ticked, and that one over there only 5. What's that extra checkbox? "WiFi". Beats me what this is, but it's one checkbox more, let's buy that one!
