If someone wants multiple wives/husbands... erm... go for it? I support assisted suicide so I suppose I would have to support it in all forms right?
:lol:
You don't honestly believe that there are as many women who would want multiple husbands as there are men who would want multiple wives, do you?
The way the poll question was written I have to click "I couldn't care less" option.
I would not "support" Polygamy. I am against the government banning polygamy.
If the question was "Do you have a problem with the Federal government banning Polygamy" the answer is a definite "yes".
If the question is, "Are you against Polygamy being banned by your state" the answer is "Yes".
If the question is "Are you against Polygamy being banned by any state" the answer is "Not unless it is my state."
Same is true about Gay marriage, for me. I would prefer it is the federal government and the state governments stayed the **** out of business that doesn't concern the government.
The children are the only concern in these arrangements. Should children have 3 or 4 legal parents?

what a bunch of poop. Polygamy is a whole other ball game. I was born in Utah, and have been in towns where cult polygamy is practiced. Tis demeaning to both men and women and discriminates against women in a terrible inhuman manner. To compare this to two people, man to man, woman to woman, man to woman, wanting have a relationship is totally wierd.As anyone familiar with the gay marriage threads knows, polygamy is often brought up to test the logical consistency of a given argument and identify what, if anything, would justify keeping polygamy illegal in a world where consenting adults can enter in any contract they wish.
I personally have never possessed nor read a strong argument against polygamy, and I become confused when some pro-gm folks would not also support polygamy, as such individuals can never articulate their reasons.
This thread does not need to involve gay marriage at all. I actually believe we could have a better discussion if gay marriage were included as little as passable.
I invite anyone with strong objections or support of polygamy to make their arguments known.
- Do you think legalized polygamy in society would affect you in any way? If so, in what way and to what degree?
- Do you think polygamy could help lower the divorce, juvenile crime or runaway rates; or improve academic performance?
- If you can argue the polygamy brings increased economic security, how would polygamy affect the abortion rate?
Those are just a few questions to get your thoughts moving, please feel free to make any argument you wish.
I support polygamy. I am required to based on my reasoning for many other political opinions: Consenting adults may do whatever they like with each other, assuming it is not an act of force, fraud or threat on another.

Tis prejudice and discrimination, that you are preaching.
your arguments could be used against the Boy Scouts, the Army, the Space program.
Read the poll about brainwashing.
How is Christian polygamy different from Muslim polygamy, if at all?
People are unquestionably free to live polygamous lifestyles, I can't see any reason for prohibiting a polygamous marriage.
I just don't think the state should formally recognize such marriages, as they are damaging to society.

There was an article in the paper the other day about a guy who was under 25 years of age, no job, and yet had something like 30 kids. Who do you think is paying for those kids, and what kind of upbringing do you think they'll get? [see thread below about "disadvantaged" kids and their educational prospects].How are they damaging to society?
What does that have to do with polygamy?The monogamous marriage's divorce rate would like to have a word with you.

Doesn't surprise me.And I read the other day in the Weekly World News

I'd go to the trouble to teach you a little about probability, but am not sure it would be worth my time. If you're the intellectually curious sort, I invite you to read up.One vagina can be just as much of a clown car as 5 of them. This isn't about having multiple kids, it's about having multiple wifes.
