Polygamy is legal in Ontario, Canada. I don’t know if it is legal in Canada’s other provinces. It is also legal in India.

Ha - at least it may appear so up until they get caught.

You can corner them on homosexual incest however. No danger of deformed kids, so why can’t a man marry his brother, or his uncle, or his dad?

That is a fact.I have witnessed first hand some pro-gay marriage liberals squirm when discussing a known relationship that was incest-gay. I wanted to bring it up but it wasn't the right time or place. I remember thinking, "what's the difference?"

They're also the first ones to make fun of heterosexual incest.

What's so funny about heterosexual incest? They can't reproduce normally just like homosexual couples! Why can't they marry?/sarc

They can cite exploitation in polygamy all they want, they are adults and they made the CHOICE to be in a polygamist marriage. Who gave them the right to make the choice for them...yadda...yadda. But remember it's all about LOVE! Right? What if in the polygamist relationship the two women are getting it on for some side action? Who said the marriage was a love triangle, and who are they to determine it? Maybe it's one big orgy??

You’re exactly right. I’d call homosexuality ‘exploitation’. Men who screw other men exploit them for pleasure, while increasing the recipients risk of anal cancer and other diseases and complications, but they agree to it... so its okay! Well, then polygamy has to be okay.

I was just thinking, hat-tip to the Russians for ending adoption of Russian children by American families. I think it came down to this stuff gathering steam. Clearly, the Russian government doesn’t want their kids growing up in a homosexual society.

A bit of something else. What I meant is that from MY HOUSE I can see the ENTIRE WORLD going to crap. I don't have a phone. I do have a tv. Over the air channels. Last weekend there was a Cook's Country episode featuring simple Chechen Gorgon Blew. My wife made it for supper last night and I had it for lunch today. But the F###ing cops never responded to my call about the fool racing up and then down the street because his dope dealer wasn't (apparently) home. The people next door do NOT speak English, but they drive better cars. My landlord is in jail on 2 counts of L&L. My US Senator Mike Crapo got busted DUI and got a pass but my coworker got a DUI (first one) and they HAMMERED him. The company I work for WILL probably fire him for it when they find out.

And somehow if I immerse myself in the MSM I am going to feel better?

Making the gay marriage the moral equivalent of inter-racial marriage is an easily defeated argument.

The inter-racial ban NEVER had anything to do with the definition of marriage. It was a ban on two people entering into a legally recognized relationship, because they were different races - this was clearly a denial of rights based on race.

Gays are not prohibited from marrying - they can, and have married for centuries. What they haven’t been able to do is call a homosexual relationship a marriage. This does not violate their rights.

I might want to adopt my horse, call her my daughter, put her on my health care, give her hospital visitation rights and claim her as a dependant...I’m not allowed to do it, but my rights aren’t violated.

Silly you.

I didn’t tell you how it is for me. It is worse.

The point is is that unless I take care of the things I CAN TAKE CARE OF I am useless when it comes to the rest.

And that simple chicken cordon bleu my wife made was worth eating. TWICE in a row.

Well, you’re clearly not feeling good about life at the moment. Nor am I really. You made me hungry now.

Hey, until Poly Families constitute 2-3% of the Voting bloc, then the Politicians won't give a damn.

This is all about secure new Voting Bloc's and giving the government more power.

If this passes then the Department of Fairness can come it to churches and Synagogues say "You WILL preform gay marriage or you will lose your tax exempt status."

This isn't about gays or marriage, this is about massing more Governmental oversight power.

Like Rushes example here, a Man can have 10 baby mama's and in the eyes of the Low information voter, it's okay because they aren't really married and the government supports them.

Putzes.

“Well, they produce more income. They have more time to divide among their kids. If one parent needs to take the kids to school and the other one needs to go to work, they can do that, I mean they can divide the — it’s a more resource available situation.”

I caught this exchange today. Why on earth didn’t Rush reply “In that case, four parents would be twice as good.”

They had this back in the late 60’s and 70’s they called them communes. Only difference is they didn’t care about “a piece of paper” from “the man” that acknowledged their unions. Perhaps we are reaping what was sown back then... all those commune kids grew up and are making policy today.

If Gay Marriage is ruled Constitutional, every State that has Laws against Incestuous Relationships will have to void those Laws. After all, it's about Love...

Remember the heat that Scalia got when he said the decision to rule the Texas Law against Sodomy Law as Unconstitutional would be a slippery slope?

NOTE: The majority of these are Devil's Advocate arguments you will encounter if you try to legitimately debate this stuff with a liberal.

Why can’t I marry my brother and/or sister, and not consumate the marriage” We could save money on taxes.
--forgotten man, #003

That could probably be a legitimate thing to do, even if you consummated. After all, Rhode Island has no penalty for incest and in Ohio they only care if you are a parent to the other party. Wouldn't work for a parent/child in any situation, though, due to things I talk about below.

Why not a man and a boy?
Why not a man and a goat?
--IncPen, #004

Capacity to contract. A boy, being a minor, does not have the capacity to contract, which is required to have any marriage legally recognized. Same with the goat; they lack capacity to contract too.

Why can’t we have polygamy?
--williams, #005

I can see no legal reason to bar it. Especially as it has a Biblical basis. If it was good enough for Abraham and David, it's good enough for us.

If you don’t consummate, it’s not a marriage.
--DuncanWaring, #006

That's actually not true anymore. Requirement of consummation has generally been found to be legally unenforceable from about the middle of last century.

And on top of that, if some religion condones marriage between a 60 year old and a child ***Islam***, and it was accepted custom, then what could stop that?
--kgrif_Salinas, #013

See above; the child lacks capacity to contract. Therefore, it cannot be recognized as a legal marriage by law.

Of course, all of this, ALL OF THIS, requires recognizing that marriage is nothing more than a contract between two (or maybe more) people regarding things like inheritance, medical supervisory issues, taxes, etc, with no religious element whatsoever. And at this point, that may be true in most cases. Heck, the majority of people I know that are my age (under-40, living in the cities) didn't get married in a church, they just went down to the courthouse. And the majority of them did it solely for tax/legal reasons.

It's hard to argue against such people when the standard objects we put forth against gay marriage are met with "Yeah, that's a church thing and it's no business of mine. I don't do church."

RUSH: Why? If you love one, you can love two. What if all three people love each other and they want the benefits and all that, who among us should deny those three people their love?

CALLER: I think they can be loved, I just don't think you need to give it a legal status because --

Over 50 countries allow polygamous marriage

When you ask these questions of a homo-”marriage” supporter,
you’ll usually get “that’s absurd”, and no answer. Also, I’ve had them TRY to turn it around on me and claim that _I_ support interspecies marriage - but, it’s just to divert from actually logically addressing the argument.

When you abandon THE definition, there is NO definition.
When the “definition” they want to propose is arbitrarily based on contemporary societal pressures, they have no standing to say that their definition is more “valid” than the next step they would avoid as “absurd”.

Rush makes some very valid points. And I'm glad he put the caller on the spot by asking "when is enough, enough?"

IMO, it was the 60s that turned our world upside down and put us on the down hill slide that we are now on when it comes to "anything goes" mentality.

Next we'll be hearing from all those labeled pedophiles, saying that it should be legal for them to engage in sex with the ones they love and they just happen to be attracted to six year olds...(gag...sorry).

...would say opposite-sex couples are bigoted because they're not marrying people of the same sex?

Never going to happy, just like Blacks do not believe that Whites can ever be considered a minority.

Bottom line for me is I don't care how the government rules on it, they won't make me accept it as normal. And gay couples should never be allowed to adopt children. If their union is "normal" then they should be able to conceive naturally without the help of someone else's sperm or egg.

The whole point is to be able to punish you for your beliefs.

Your “non-acceptance” is based in traditional Western values, and those are based on Christianity.

They want to use the State to eradicate and punish Christian beliefs.
