It shouldn't be up to "the people" to speak on the rights of a minority. Minority rights have never been granted by "the people" because it's of no apparent benefit to the majority to grant rights to a minority.

The "people" should mind their own ******* business, **** who they want, marry who they want, sit where they want on the ************* bus and let everyone else do the same.

I'm happy for you in your self-satisfaction, really. It must be fantastic to be so callous.

If the government can't provide marriage to two people equally across the board, they should just get out of the marriage business.

Come to think of it, I don't really have anything against polygamists.

Anyway, gloating in other people's misery is pretty classy. Nice one.

Yea, my only issue with them is that they tend to take on teenage wives, but that's a case by case scenario. So long as all parties involved are of legal age and know of each other, go for it.

The legal standing of a polygamist relationship could get really messy.

I agree. And maybe it's just French girls, but one is enough work as it is. Any more than that is just asking for an early heart-attack.

Presumably it wouldn't have to simply be multiple wives. A non-discriminating polygamy ruling should allow 'marriages of multiple peeps' regardless of sex. So if wife #3 is getting to be a bit much for you just find yourself husband #2. But this is really why polygamy just isn't practical from a legal standpoint.

Possibly, but it would make for great reality TV.

And this week in "Whose wife is it anyway?" we find out if Mary still wants to be married to Rupert who's just got engaged to Britney who divorced Humphreys after he was caught cheating with Cindy's third husband Barry who still isn't sure if he should propose to Carrie or Cynthia!

Every society has moral restrictions they expect the populace to follow. We don't publicly recognize incest or polygamists yet I don't see you championing their "right" to act on how they feel. Simply saying somethings a right doesn't make it so.


You're constantly bringing up incest and polygamy. So, which one do you come from?

Bliss actually. I can honestly say that I don't give a flying f'uck about any homosexuals right to be "married" by the state. Evidently, you have either some sort of vested interest or just feeling overly philanthropic.

Or I recognize the value in equality for society as a whole. I feel that we're better off for allowing women to vote, for allowing interracial marriage, etc.

Because I consider homosexuality to just as bad for society as those two. And people who defend homosexuality as a valid lifestyle choice generally don't include themselves with those who engage in incest and polygamy; yet they apply the same defense that could be used to defend those lifestyle choices. Also I do it to show that society does in fact regulate morality to an extent. So until the homosexual community, and its supporters, start carrying the banner for govn recognition, and legalization, of incest and polygamy i'm going to continue to compare it to the "plight" of homosexuals.

Incest and polygamy being illegal has very little to do with morality.

From what I understand, yes. It has more to do with the difficulting in legislating polygamy and the instances of birth defects in incest.
