Whoa. Is this a thing now? What's next? This country is going down. |
IMHO one woman can take care of three or four men, emotionally, physically, etc...far better than one man can take care of 3 or 4 wives. |
Yay eugenics!! ![]() |
I must be too. PP, I agree wholeheartedly. Not good for the kids. If you read this thread, you'll see there is not much concern for the kids. |
Why should they? |
I'm the "Exactly" poster, and in my opinion yes. I don't believe the government should be trying to legislate love. If the government wants to provide legal recognition and benefits to the state of having entered into a committed relationship (what marriage is...formalizing a commitment to the relationship) then I think any consenting adults who wish to enter into such a relationship should have equal rights to do so. |
I hate polygamy. But you won't see me going batshit crazy if it becomes legal. I don't get why anti-gay marriage people like ALL the Republican presidential candidates are having a hippy dippy fit. |
Not that poster, but... why should they have to show that? Virtuous? Why is that necessary? And judged according to whose virtues? If the 5 people involved find that their relationship benefits and enriches their lives, if it's helpful to them and that is how they are happy, why is it anyone else's business? Who is harmed by the relationship status of others, exactly? IMO the only thing which is wrong is something that nonconsenually harms another person. I don't understand laws and societal policies that do not allow something for any reason other than the harm that something would do to another's rights. |
Different poster here, but I hope it does change again to allow that option. I likely wouldn't take advantage of it, but I'd like to see others have that opportunity if they happen to feel so inclined. |
Of course there is. Wage and price controls were put into effect during the second world war. Companies started offering health insurance as a way of getting around wage controls. |
They can't keep a company from buying health insurance. They could regulate the price of health insurance. They could ration health insurance. But they can't prevent someone legally from buying health insurance. |
Yes, believe it or not this really is a thing now. Google "polyamory" and you will come up with tons of sites with people who are involved with this lifestyle. |
I think that the polyarmoury polygamy thing will be a complete failure to most families who have no experience with it.
I have read countless books about polygamy in the FLDS communities and there seem to be some rules that the families have to live by for it to work. Seems like the men have to have some self control and be very very careful about what they say to their wives. |
Except, it is no longer confined to fringe Mormon types. There is a sizeable lefty community who are into multiple partner relationships, except typically the bisexual wife is at the "center" of the relationships. These people refer to their family units as "poly" to distinguish themselves from the stereotypical polygamous family. |
