News / President Duda rules out homo marriage in Poland as banned by the constitution [172]
Because marriage is much more than just a legal contract and for thousands of years has been between a man and a woman.
Not two men or two women.
Why should 2% of the population be allowed to ruin an institution that has served us well for so long?
A severe case of "The tail wagging the dog".
Marriage is primarily for having children.
Gays can't do that.
I am also against gay adoption, which is nothing short of child abuse.
What is wrong with a legally binding civil partnership?
In the UK some hetero couples are now opting for that instead of marriage, largely when they don't want to have kids.
You are not seriously comparing sexuality to race or religion?
They are three completely different things.
Why?

I didn't know that.
Because it makes a mockery of marriage.
Being gay cannot be compared to a race or religion.
Not in Poland.
I didn't know that.
And if it's all the same anyway why differentiate between civil union and marriage?
Because it makes a mockery of marriage.
But suddenly when it comes to gay people their number starts to be as issue

I just think that it is wrong to normalize something that is not normal or even that common.
What percentage of the population is 100% gay?

Why is there this huge obsession amongst liberals for giving gay couples ( I cant do that LGBT nonsense) the same rights as straight ones?
I thought marriage was mainly about having children.
Gay couples cant do that.
So what is the point?
First LGBT visits. Next, civil partnerships. Then, homosexual marriages. Finally, LGBT is widely accepted in Poland

Me too.
Uk kebabs, you have to know where to go.
Central north London where many Greeks and Turks live you get the best kebabs.
German are very good too, so much so that there is now a German kebab chain in London.
As for Tikka Masala, that is Anglo Indian cuisine, you won't find it in India.
Proper Indian or Pakistani cuisine is excellent, along with Sri Lankan ( which is slightly different and even spicier than Indian).
I will take a good kebab over tikka masala every time
Me too.
the gradation of kebab is UK the worst, Poland ok and Germany- the best by miles

My families method, I think, was doused in oil and vinegar and served with raw slices of onion.
I still enjoy raw onion, but the fish makes me want to throw up......

This is true.
British food has a few gems and is pefectly edible, I think that Polish cuisine is on a par with British.
Maybe slightly better, but not much.
Look at North European cuisine.... Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Norway, Sweden. Finland, Estonia,Latvia, Lithuania, Poland.....bland, bland, bland......
Go to Hungary, the former Yugoslavia, Greece, Spain and Italy and it is more exciting cuisine..
Brits don`t like their own cuisine and prefer to choose foreign ones.

That may be true, but Poland is getting very close to becoming a net contributor to The EU... and if they then push for even more central control and federalism, I don't think that will play out well with Polish people.
Hmm, after deducting Polish contribution from gained funds, we are 110 billion in the black

This is the main problem with Polish tastes.
They are like Britain in the 1950's..... not interested in trying anything new and quite happy to eat bland boiled potatoes as long as they have a bit of dill sprinkled on them..... time to hit the 21st century Poland.... at least we are educating the Poles in the UK, most of them have grown to love Indian cuisine ( Which has been adopted as part of British cuisine now).
Other big dislikes are any cheese or any fish except for the very blandest varieties.
