polygamy FTW!!!

^^ pretty much /threads it
WTF?! How is two people falling in love the same as any of those? Anyway, polygamy was outlawed because it usually meant slavery for the women who were "married" to their husband.

Your perverse homophobia has no place in our society.

perhaps 100 years ago. but it can be worhtwill today.

every study agrees its better to have a parent stay home. so why not have a communty style household? say 2 parents go to work and 2 stay home to take care of the kids? of course if all 4 of the adults would have to be ok with the situation.

but then that does open other problems. say who sleeps with who? what happens when one person wants out?

Uh, there's such a thing as consent. An animal cannot consent to marriage. Neither can children. Marriage is a consentual agreement.

I don't see any homophobia, but I do see some polygaphobia here (I made that word up).

Animals would probably be taking it a bit far though, for the reasons raised in this thread. I hope that doesn't make me beastophobic! :Q
 
Considering that most examples of polygamy in the world are one man married to many women, most of who have no or little choice in the matter... I'd vote no.
 
As long as the tax/financial complications involved with the situation are addressed, I don't see why it should not be legal.

Who's the perverse one?
One who sticks his penis in another man's anus
or
the one who thinks that's gross
or
the one who thinks sticking one's penis in another man's anus is "love" and thinks the one who thinks that's gross is a perverse homophobic?

Since when did "our" society throw morality out the door? Oh wait, it happened in the last 10-20 years in the history of civilized man.
 
Once you goobers who aren't married and don't have a current girlfriend realize that the future possibilities for finding a mate are even slimmer than they are now, perhaps you'll reconsider 😛 🙂

Could you please explain, in a paragraph or less, why you feel you should be allowed to control others' lives, so long as the decisions they make don't affect unconsenting people (eg. crime, etc). Kudos on trumping even your prior idiocy which I sig-ized though 🙂

Reconsider what? 😕 I don't think anyone here has visions of collecting a harem (I certainly don't - in fact I don't even want one wife tyvm); only of allowing people to do it if that's their thing, rather than continuing the millenia-old tradition of stigmatizing them for being different and part of a minority.

Doesn't polygamy also imply a wife may have multiple husbands?
It can, but the word polygamy is most often used to refer to polygyny, or one man having multiple wives. One woman having multiple husbands is called polyandry, and is extremely rare.

I agree completely, although for myself I prefer monogamy.

Since when did I say I wanted to control others' lives? If anything the homosexuals and polygamists are trying to force their doctrine on the rest of the population by pushing for same sex unions and polygamy. Last time I checked the word "marriage" meant 1 man 1 women. Go ahead and live your life the way you want but don't force your shvt on me. And I don't want to see you stick your penis is another man's anus either, do it in the bedroom and don't bark about it and make a fvcking movie about it.

Hey, whatever floats their boat. As long as all parties involved are consenting (and legally capable of consenting, which animals are not BTW). Just because you (or even the majority of Americans) might disapprove is insufficient justification for a law. Kindly keep your head up your own ass, eh?

hahah damn man you have issues!

marriage started out as a way for people to be a family. then the church got a hold of it and started the vows and having it be "legit"

as for the other stuff nobody is forcing you to watch the movie. if you do not want to see it do not go.

If you're serious, you either have one hell of a sense of entitlement or are projecting hatred of your own repressed homosexuality. I'm leaning toward you being a troll though.

Heh. Who's pushing who? You say "go ahead and live your life the way you want" but then think that those things which they do in private are "forc(ing) your shvt on me." You got issues, that's for sure.

Sense of entitlement? Yes, let's increase taxes, increase social welfare, create national healthcare, recall all the dictionaries and reprint so marriage says a union between one person and another person. Oh and get rid of retirement accounts and go 100% social security. I feel like I'm entitled by the government to have them wipe my ass because I'm a hippie liberal that wants to mimic 10% unemployed Europe.
 
i see this thread has prospered 😎

i don't understand why the liberals don't support polygamy , after all, its only fair if we are going to redefine marriage to whatever people feel like doing that polygamy and basically anything that "consenting" adults want should be legal
