what is poligamy

Read the poll options and guess.

im guessing it has something to do with having lots of wives and having unprotected sex alot but other than that, no idea. why couldnt you just tell me.

Anyone that can deal with more then one wife is either consistently drunk or works all the time- -I have a hard enough time dealing with my wifes emotions and her monthly period that I'd kill if there were more then just her.

If you want to learn a bit about poligamy -- watch the series on HBO "Big Love"

or

For future reference--------(it's called polygamy)

I like the thought of it, but it will never happen in western society.

I am against it, but its not like it matters just because you have a marriage license (unless you're going after the tax return ). If you wanna be with a lot of women you don't have to be with them officially (that's what pimps do ) and even if your religion believes that you need more than one wife to get into heaven, when you die God isn't gonna ask for a slip of paper that says everyone's married to that guy...

Actually Norse -- It exhists in Utah. There is a compound where all the Polygamists live -- they all follow the "profit" who was just recently caught by the authorities I believe this past year (or was it last year).

amen

Its no body elses business except the people involved, that's what I say.

Agreed, if someone wants to marry three women and be nagged by three women, who are we to say no?

never seems to involve one woman with three husbands though. Are mormons into that?

Exactly

Personally i couldnt handle more than one, i like my own free time too much ... and my money.

Anyway, it makes it very hard to love a girl when you are with three.

So for me, its not my thing. But for someone else? thats their game and their business.

You can say the same about heroine, child pornography, incestuous relationships and suicide pacts. That doesn't mean any of them should be allowed.

Heroin - A drug that funds massive cartels and wars. If it wasn't illegal, it would cease to do such though. Drugs aren't bad, the illegal sale of such is.

Child Pornography - The exploitation of children who cannot give consent. It is completely wrong and disgusting

Incest - See previous item

Suicide pacts - Well, suicide shouldn't be illegal, thus whatever else may follow.

Polygamy is the consensual activity amongst adults to marry more than one partner.

Since when is monogamy a law?

ROFL! The best humor is that which holds truth within.

Drugs ARE bad. Only the irrational would think otherwise.
Child porn...If they were enticed ie. money, candy etc. you could get their consent. Incest can be consensual. Suicide should be legal?

Nice attempt at painting a grey world with no right and wrongs.

Drugs are considered to be bad, BUT they should be an individual's choice. They should aware of the effects.

Enticing children with money and candy isn't really gaining their consent, it is pure deceit and is, of course, wrong.

Incest, however immoral (and disgusting), can be consensual. [I.e. between adults.]

Suicide should be someone's choice. Your body is yours to do with as you please.

The world is full of shades of gray. Evil people can do good things you know and good people can easily be tempted into horrible things.

Cigarret and alchool is just as bad as drugs, yet those are legal. So Drugs should be..


Don't drive/go to work on drugs...That's it.

'grey areas' doesn't mean no right or wrong, as i think you well know. This is why our countries have the legal systems they do and judges trained to sift through 'grey areas'.

Take your comment about drugs - aspirin is bad? Caffeine is bad? herceptin is bad? Am i irrational? They are legal - so is alcohol, one of the most dangerous and destructive drugs we know of. Again, you allow your morals to be dictated by lawmakers. thus absolving yourself of any need to think through difficult questions.

The effective dosage to lethal dosage of alcohol is approximately 10x. The same ratio of cocaine is 17x. Marijuana has no lethal dosage. Odd isn't it?
