Judge Rules Part of Utah Polygamy Ban Unconstitutional

There you go, TH, move to Utah and have at it.

You think TH wants to end up paying child support to more than one ex-wife

Which is the real point. Liberals are complete and total hypocrites.

Anyone can be anything when you choose to define that anything to suit your own purposes.

A master strategist, you are.

I don't care about polygamy one way or another. And maybe it is something that should be revisited sooner or later. I really don't care. But for people who are anti-gay marriage to try and use this or other 'inequalities' as an excuse for why gays shouldn't have the right to marry is truly pathetic grasping at straws reasoning.

Why wouldn't conservatives let me practice my hypocritical bigotry in peace?

As a liberal, I think you should be allowed to practice your hypocritical bigotry in peace. That is actually what liberalism is about, of course.

Liberals, however, have a problem when you confuse that "in peace" part with legislation. It seems that you guys confuse these lines quite regularly.

You are making inferences not supported by any posts. I didn't state any opinion on gay marriage, just saying that if you believe government should not limit what constitutes a marriage (or who can marry), then it's completely irrational to turn around and argue that it should apply such limits to couples who want to marry more than one person.

Stating your opinion that something is irrational is not the same as providing the actual reasoning as to why it's irrational. The reasons gays have been prevented from same sex marriage is not the same as the reasoning why multiple marriages are banned. In order to make your statement rational you would have to show those two different arguments are false. You have not done so.

Moral of the story, never get married, never have kids, never adopt.

Never let a woman move in with you, never let her refer to you as her fiancee, never have a joint checking account or joint bills - to block a common law marriage claim.

Large numbers of males with no prospect of a mate might be able to be shown as a destabilizing force on society. For every man with two wives there would necessarily need to be a woman with two husbands to maintain equilibrium, failing that, perhaps something that kills lots of males, like constant war.

Seems like an argument against no-fault divorce too :thumbsup:

Like others, I don't really care one way or the other cause it doesn't concern me.
If the courts say this is constitutionally supported, then fine.
Like Hillary says, it takes a village.
Might as well be allowed to marry one.

Does this apply to women as well?
Marring several men?
That rich old 70 year old dame having several 25 year old hunks waiting on her hand and foot seems a little kinky in a perverted way.
That Zsa Zsa effect.
You go girl.

I thought that it was liberals who wouldn't let you practice your hypocritical bigotry in peace.

Couple of things to remember, polygamy is not simply one man + multiple wives. It can be one woman + multiple husbands. It can also be multiple wives and husbands together.
