Consenting adults should be allowed to do what they want. Polygamy is fine with me if that's what a group of adults want.

 

I'd take mahogany over polygamy, it's very sturdy and looks nice in the den.

 

I don't see a problem with it; if a person wants 10 spouses, so be it.

 

I wouldn't be able to share my husband because i'm too territorial, but i'd totally have more than one husband. I like a lot of attention.

LOL. I'm kidding, i'm kidding. I personally couldn't do the polygamy thing but i don't really know why it's illegal...

 

I couldn't do it either. That's just my personal preference for when I get married. I do like variety though. ;-)

 

I was actually talking about this with some people in my Composition class a couple of weeks ago and I had the same thoughts. We treat gays not being allowed to marry as a grave injustice (and rightfully so) but nobody bats an eye at the thought of legalizing polygamy. I ask what's the difference, why does it really matter if a bunch of people marry each other.

 

First off I can't stand when people use marrying an animal as an argument for or against gay marriage it's a ****ing animal how can the relationship you have with a pet ever compare to a romantic relationship with another consenting adult. I know that's kinda off topic so moving on I was under the impression polygamy isn't allowed because of tax issues please correct me if someone knows more about that part of it. Personally I don't really care I wouldn't mind having another husband.

 

I think we should do away with legal marriages completely. I don't understand why people need to get legally married. Marriage should be a religious union between two people and should not involve the government.

 

The government ruined marriage with the divorce laws. No one respects marriage anymore.

 

No one has to get married I'd say now it's much more common for people to just live together.

 

Live and let live

 

I'm against polygamy (at least for myself) . marriage is sometimes a hard Art even with one spouse. with more than one? it's not a kind of burden I'd carry.

 

See I have a problem with what you just wrote here. First of all you're automatically assuming that the person making less money is the victim and the one making more money is the one doing harm. I disagree with you because unless you were in that relationship you really don't know what really happened. Yes you're right there is someone that gets screwed over financially and 99% of the time it's the one that makes more money. Marriage does predate Christianity, but i never said that marriage was created by christianity. Marriage was created by religion and should remain that way.

 

The government didn't force anyone to get divorced.

 

That's as daft as saying that democracy was created by the Greeks, so it should remain in Greece.

 

Who is the government to tell people that you can only marry 1 person, you can't marry someone of the same sex, when you get divorced you should give up half your assets and have to pay someone lifetime alimony. The government should not get involved in our business.
