We have this people called doctors...
There are known conditions that prevent you from taking the pill
The Op never said she never tried the pill, just that she won't take it noe
As to the man pill why didn't you suggest it to the OP then?
I hope you mean just to cool myself because if it something different then it's not very Christian of you, is it? :D
How will she know if she does not try.

Pills are not without an impact to a body. Personally I will be very happy once I can stop worry about it.
Plus Johnny please read before you comment, it really won't kill you:
While I never heard of anyone being allergic there are situation when a women cannot take the pill.
I think the whole thread is BS and I would advice OP to be more specific - does she haye sex or is she scared of pregnancy (very sensible if she was already burnt once)

Oh yeah, she isn't one to beat around the bush :)
She had a friend who once who described their mutual friend this way
'She had more di*** in her ass than the Chinese have army'..
I was always torn between disgust at the awful language and admiration for the crude poetry.
That friend was a teacher btw :)
Usually when we asked her to do something for us that she judged as cheeky. Like lets say if we are sitting around and we want a sandwich and ask her to make it at an age when we are fully capable of making them ourselves.
She was quite straighforward. :)

Not another one...
The fact that it's your prefered British way doesn't mean everybody wants to live that way. I personally find British architecture completely impractical. Houses the size of flats or smaller but with stairs taking a lot of space and no benefit of isolation as most houses are built without any cellar, just on the ground level. Is the 'garden' is supposed to make up for all that ? Not everyone would agree.

Life / When will SMOKING BE BANNED? (from public areas in Poland) [44]
True but you are suggesting that these laws are in place to earn money with private prisons. Poland doesn't have private prisons yet we have even lower limits.
Plus I can't see private prisons being created in Poland. We have completely different penitentiary system and our prison guards are uniform service along with military and police.
And even though we have harsher laws somehow I can't say this about Poland:
Walk to the pub, take a taxi or have a friend drive you. Somehow I don't see a reason to drive after drinking. And that poor guy drinking few beers after work has a simple solution- drink and not drive.
As to the thread topic (I know how keen you are on staying on topic Johhny) smoking is already banned and pubs survived. Although I must admit that the ones that have smoking part are doing better during winter.
My point was of all the money that is being made

Anything more than 1 and 1/2 beers or two shots of vodka and you go to jail if you get caught driving.

The thing is that there was never ever a question about their stance.
Of course you are free to think it's news and Polonius posted it to inform ppl but I don't.
Wow, that shows real knowledge of the issue :)
Even though I don't agree with your statement that's not what I was saying. I simply said that it's a non issue for PiS the same as with same sex couples.
And to be fair I think religion at school harms the church. Especially with teenagers. It would be benefitial to move them back to religion rooms (salami katechetyczne).
They know what they have claimed to be their stance. Those news tell their supporters that PiS is consistent and keep its promises.

If PiS did that it would be the equivalent of raping young children, depriving them of genuine, time-tested values and turning them over to the vultures and hyenas of commercial pop culture.

The thing is though that everyone knows their stance on that issue. That's what I'm arguing.
Oh get of your high horse.
1-ppl don't make their voting choices by what they read on PF
2- Polonius is the most biased here just pro not against and somehow you don't have a problem with that
3-as I said, PiS stance on homosexual relationships is well known
If you notice I didn't say anything against PiS just that this is a no news 'news'.
I'm sure that all voters in Poland are interested to know what is president's and probably PiS's stance on this issue

I'm not stopping him, I'm expressing my opinion. If he has the right to create yet another thread with all his typical cliches then I have the right to say I find it irritating and boring. Especially since it's a news in the same way I'm a queen of England.
I'm waiting for announcement that PiS will not remove religion from schools, won't vote Kaczynski out as the party's leader or something obvious like that. And then we can all go 'wow! Really?! I never would have guessed that! It changed my life!' If I practice long enough I may even say it with a straight face
Why? If he want to praise PiS let him do it.

Well Macierewicz already said that PiS will pass the changes but in slower, more quiet way that won't start such opposition from citizens. So we may not take his word (quite a lot of ppl consider him a bit crazy) but he is part of the government.
The voice of the people was heard and now it looks like it won't be going forward and the law is likely to remain as it is.

So you are calling the 3 legal reasons for abortion a demagogic slogan? So how should I call these situations in which a women can have legal abortion without being accused of using demagogic slogans?
We are talking about existing abortion law (with 3 demagogic slogans as circumstances allowing it) vs new proposal making any abortion illegal (including when the women life is in danger) not about selfish, irresponsible women treating abortion as contraception (since they wouldn't be able to abort legally no matter under which law).
Demagogic slogans not worth much. Get down from your soap box and talk to me using arguments if you know how.
