homeopathy is basically water.

Yes, bottles of tap water, or sugar pills soaked in tap water, then dried out again. It's the sale and marketing of the placebo effect, as are vitamin tablets, herbal remedies, crystals, birthstones et al.

There's something that the Christian South do very well, and it's home economics.

It's called a Hang Glider, not a Hand Glider.

Insulting a police officer costs you one month's salary, here in Germany. It used to also cost you 5 points on your driving licence, if the insult was made during a vehicle stop - that has been removed with the new traffic law changes, now it is just the fine.

How do they define 'insulting'?
Objecting to his decision, raising your voice, questioning his parentage?

Rude language, physically pushing or hitting the officer. You can argue the decision as long as you don't lose your temper and insult him.

Depends on the officer and the situation, if you are lucky, he would laugh, if it had been building up to head, you could end up losing a month's salary.

Calling him a facist barsteward would almost certainly cost you a lot of money.

Try waiting until he's told you off and asking him "Bist fertig?"

That would do it, you cannot dutzen a police officer. Using the familiar form is not allowed, you can only use the formal form.

What if you're unemployed?
