as far as the original topic, has anyone ever heard of polygamy where one woman has several husbands or is that called something else?

Yeah, and later on a few alimony payments!

I don't want one wife. I can't imagine the grief multiple wives could bestow upon a man. :shocked:

Yeah that's true, three times the nag, but three times as much fun in bed.

You mean three times the "Oh, you're done already?"

I can see how multiple husbands would be more appealing to a woman

I don't think it should be, but you had to know this was coming. With the battle over gay marriage, it was only a matter of time.

LOL

There was a commercial or something I saw a while back about that. Four husbands and one wife and you just see the wife yelling at all four of them while they trash the living room during a football game. "There's four of you!!!! Couldn't at least ONE of you remember to take out the TRASH!!!?!??"

polyandry

If gay marriage is legalized (and tbh, if it's 2 consenting adults, not trying to push their beliefs onto me, I don't give a damn what they do inside their own home) then this should be too...

one good thing about legalizing it is then you have more control/regulation. Marrying a 14yo girl should be illegal no matter what...first wife, second, 16 or 55. it's all wrong there.

Taxing polygamy families as single is wrong.....I think they should be able to do ONE joint app, and the rest are married filing separate.

and if you are going to hit them on welfare/gov't aid, then you have to hit the inner city crack momma with 5 kids from different daddies too...why should we have to pay for that?

I'm pretty sure I could handle that. Especially if she was okay with multiple service
And hey, while I probably wouldn't have any less work to do around the house, at least more stuff would get done

Well, those are children with reckless parents. Is it fair for the rest of us? No, but imagine how much more degenerate society can get if all those children grow up with no hope whatsoever? Whether you like it or not, we have to break the cycle at some point.

But the polygamists are living VERY well. They're getting money that was meant for a single parent, and pooling it together. This is much more intentional than the inner city crack mom, and much more organized.

Agreed. The biggest (moral) argument that people can come up with against gay marriage is that it "Dilutes the value of marrige".

I'm sorry but two conscenting adults that devote their lives to each other is a hell of a lot closer to the meaning of marriage than some guy that has a handful of brainwashed woment waiting around to squirt out kids for him.

If this was ever passed by a republican majority vote, I'd burn my registered repulican voting slip.

Because its inherently misogynistic. Unless i missed the part where it says that a woman can take multiple husbands.

You should be able to marry with whomever you choose, or however many you choose (within the confines of your religion). However there needs to be a separation between marriage and legal status. Marriage is a religious thing, period. It shouldn't mean anything, grant any status or rights, or involve the government in any way. Unions should be the government version of marriage (which can optionally be done concurrent with a marriage, or separate from it). A union is what would grant status and rights (tax things, inheritance, etc). I think a union (of marriage) should be restricted to one person, purely for logistical reasons. There might be need of another type of union for offspring (this would settle issues of having children with multiple permanent partners).

So, marry your gay lover and 45 members of the opposite sex (if allowed by your religion)...but you only get a government sanctioned union with one person. This pretty much solves all issues about gay marriage, polygamy, etc.

Actually, polygamy is technically having multiple spouses. It usually means wives, but doesn't have to.
And even if it did specify the gender, it's not really misogyny. Sexist, sure, but not misogynistic.

I think Mormonism simply allows polygamy rather than mandating it. So I doubt they are "practicing their religion" by taking multiple spouses.

I don't think it should be legalized because that would connote legitimacy.

 

[Kadarin]

should pologamy be legal?

Yes, as should polyandry, and any other non-conventional marriage arrangement between consenting adults. To me it's an issue of personal freedom.

 

[FoBoT]

there is no such thing as "fundamentalist Mormons ", anyone that advocates or practices polygomy is kicked out of the LDS church

the people referenced in the article do not belong to the "Mormon" church, they have either been kicked out or were never members (but their ancestors may have been kicked out if they refused to stop practicing polygomy when the church ended polygamy)

no, see my post above, anyone practicing or advocating polygamy is kicked out, those people are not "Mormons", they just want to be

why wouldnt it be legimate? to me if the people involved are concenting adults and want that type of lifestyle and commit themselves i view it just as legimate as any other marriage.

I've said the same thing so many times. All problems are solved. Marriage is a religions thing ONLY, get government out of religion.

Why couldn't this happen with monogamy?

Yes there are fundamentalist Mormons. There are many different sects of Mormonism. The two main ones are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Mormonism is like Christianity (and some say it is a sect of Christianity); That would be like saying the Southern Baptist Church has no (extreme) fundamentalists when Fred Phelps and his Baptist church are making fools out of them selves. I usually go to a Baptist church when I go to church, and I can't say I know one person who supports what Westboro Baptist is doing. They are Fundamentalist Baptists just like polygamists are Fundamentalist Mormons.
