If you’re going to illustrate typical polygamy, do it right. It’s not a middle aged woman with 2 middle aged men. It’s a middle aged man with a handful of 15 year old girls dressed in home made pioneer clothes.
That is so true Scott. They don’t want legalequality which they have; they want approval and endorsement.The rest of us really don’t care what they do in private. Go for it.Just quit trying to force it down people’s throats.
I don’t like that with religions and I don’t like it
with sexual orientation.Do what you want and leave me alone!
@Chillbilly "The whole business about gay marriage and polygamy isn’t what people do. It’s the fact that they want societal endorsement of their lifestyle choices particularly if it violates your religious beliefs."no we want the same tax breaks, health care proxy and 1100 other government ‘benefits’ you straight married people get as ‘special rights’. in short, equality UNDER THE LAW.if it violates your religious beliefs, then you don’t do it.I don’t give a damn if you approve or endorse what I do at all. What I do care about is that you give yourself special rights UNDER THE LAW and deny those same special rights to people that you don’t like. 1984, some pigs are more equal than others.
On the news yesterday, in the UK, a woman who has bad mitochondrial DNA is combining her egg with an egg from a woman with good mitochondrial DNA, and the egg will be invitrio fertilized. It is supposed to be the first combination of 3 people. http://www.medicaldaily.com/articles/12872/20121024/three-parent-vitro-fertilization-considered-success-study.htm
No, it’s that YOU feel that no one else can do something that violates YOUR squeamish factor. I am offended that people would call for tens of thousands of kids thrown off school breakfasts, but we can’t outlaw Republicans.
“Typically sx between consenting aduls is not legal in the case if incest.”
When was the last time you heard of adult siblings being jailed for having consensual sex? It happens, after all.
By the way, one of the main objections to incest in the Middle Ages and Renaissance had nothing to do with breeding monsters but with supplanting God in one’s heart:
One’s greatest love was supposed to be for God. Love for one’s family and love for one’s spouse were important, of course, but lesser in degree. However, if sexual love were ADDED to familial love, cumulatively there was grave danger that one’s sibling/lover would take precedence in one’s heart over God. It would be a violation of the First Commandment.
“My dog consents to marrying me. Do you give a crap?”
How has your dog expressed consent?Is your dog mentally competent to make such a decision?Is your dog over 18? (If so, you’d better hurry. If not, your state may forbid it, unless you have consent of your dog’s parents.)Assuming you and your dog are already sexually active, I applaud your making an honest dog of her. Or him… Frankly, the LAST thing that concerns me is the gender of your dog.
But it’s true, if you and your dog get married it will not affect me personally in the least.
Gotta love the way Ima projects her somewhat suspect psyche into a mention of beastiality every time someone mentions something about other people’s sexual freedom.
The bible says that when a man and woman decide to set up household together, they just tell their friends and neighbors and do it.^In Sodom and Gomorrah, the “sinners” there wanted to rape unconsenting “angels” and according to ‘legend’ practiced pedophila and beastiality. Children and animals are not consenting adults.^I am very uncomfortable with this topic. I’m embarrassed when heterosexual couples indulge in behaviors where the words, “Get a room” become applicable.’^Gay couples who marry in a church that accepts gays, or through a civil union, should have the same rights and benefits as hetero couples. Since hetero relationships tend to be deeply flawed, I expect we will see flaws in homo relationships as well.^The quoran says that polygamist marriages must have a separate household for each wife. Sounds good to me. If a man…or a woman… can afford to have a separate home for each “spouse”, go for it. I hardly have the energy I need for the wife I have, having more than one would kill me. If you and your spouses are happy in such an arrangement, it makes no difference to me.^Our nation has so many serious problems and threats. Why does what happens in bedrooms between consenting adults have importance? God will judge people as HE will, it is for the rest of us to live the best life we can in the time we have.^With respect to all,and best wishes for a happy and safe Easter,C.
SOME people do. Maybe a fraction no bigger than some of the “societal endorsement” that religious whackos seek for their own twisted practices, including—in nearly every "major religion—societal endorsement of hatred of gay people.
If you feel it’s being shoved down your throat, then you’re suffering from delusions of grandeur. Gays don’t care what people like you think. They know that they’re on the right side of history and that people who live in the past will eventually fade away or hide in their own closets.

The government has no business poking around in consenting adults’ sex lives. For that matter, neither do other peoples’ imaginary deities.

If they’re all consenting adults, who should give a crap?
