Someone should tell that guy in the picture:

“Dude... think “Menopause Times FOUR! Are you CRAZY???”

If some simp wants to suck up the excess population of fatties and women hitting the wall, and legally make himself their slave mule, then go for it.

A least their sex (shudder) will result in actual humans being born. Maybe screwed-up humans, but still people.

Most polygamist families can’t survive without government welfare.

My experience? One spouse is quite enough, thank you very much.

If there is, somewhere, a constitutional protection for Sodomite marriage, there is no way to argue against polygamy. However, there doesn’t seem to be enough rich donors, multi-national corporations, political demagogues, popular sitcoms, romance comedies, news media activists, Hollywood actors, Girls Scout leaders, religious groups, college professors, on and on pushing polygamy. It’s a bit of a long shot.

I think pedophilia will be the next social revolution. But that’ll be after churches are closed down. That’s next on the agenda. There will be a short time of, “see, there’s nothing to worry about.” Then a full attack.

If they allow polygamy, then no one will have any reason to divorce. They can just keep marrying someone else, into infinity. The divorce lawyers will not go for it.

For this reason, I do not think the 5 court buffoons will give polygamist the same rights as homosexuals.

The crazy thing is, it’s not a bad idea. I mean, I love women. I married one. Could I be happy with a 2nd? I don’t know. It appealed to many people over the years and many have acted on it. Hum.....

Polygamists don't need a SCOTUS ruling, or any overturning of law.

All they need is to decriminalize bigamy, which is already happening.

And think how "couple only" marriages discriminate against the sexual destinies of those born bisexual. Properly speaking, each bisexual marriage requires two men and two women.

The celebratory slogan last week was “love won”. With that premise, can’t love be shared in many different types of marriage arrangements? The more people, the more love. Open the floodgates.

Polygamy makes a great deal of sense for a powerful and wealthy male, who wishes to have progeny to carry on the important business of maintaining the family business or possibly a political dynasty.

There is a well-established practice of serial monogamy, successive marriages separated by periods in which the prior existing marriage was dissolved, before engaging in a new marriage enterprise. However, many males, especially the rich and powerful, have found this to be an expensive undertaking.

Taking on an additional one or two females to manage the household, while remaining out in the marketplace to accrue even more of the wealth of the world, would appear, at first, to be a much more intelligent application of resources.

Besides, a man has got needs. They can’t all have headaches at the same time, could they?

Could they?

Imagine telling someone in 1960 that by the year 2015 every state in the union would have something called ‘gay marriage’ and polygamy wouldn’t be accepted in one. You would have shortly been dodging the dudes in white jackets and big butterfly nets. The polygamists should find a bunch of gays that want to be polygamists, there might be more progress...

There are probably more secret polygamists in Utah than there are queers in the U.S. but legalizing polygamy would cut off some welfare if the polygs were legally married.

Polygamy leads to war.

It’s a reversion to barbarism, as our ancestors knew just 100 years ago.

No stable society is built on a few males attempting to keep all the women to themselves. The Mormons were constantly on the run for just that reason - every town they went to turned on them violently. A few self impressed clowns weren’t going to waltz off with the 3 local girls in tow and think he was gonna live to talk about it.

Ancient tribes figured this out pretty rapidly too. Things calm down quickly when you adopt monogamy.

Will that happen when we let this demon out of the bottle again?

Will we see police protecting polygamists as angry mobs of males attack them?

Hard to say. We live in a police state now, and one that imposes immorality.

But it will not be a “stable” society by any means.

Polygamy has an actual history, and makes more sense than sodomy as "marriage."

So, since it makes more sense, maybe SCOTUS will reject it. OTOH, SCOTUS likes to make history, so that may be the deciding factor.

Perhaps that explains all the angry .violent young Muslim men-the old rich Muslims get all the girls.

Its not from “gay marriage” to polygamy. Its from “1960s free love” and “no fault divorce” to polygamy. The destruction of marriage did not start with gay marriage. Marriage was on life support prior to that and gay marriage was just one more body blow — a big one — to the institution. Now comes the next one. And after polygamy, it will be something else until the institution is dead in all but name and the Left will have achieved its goal of destroying the basis for the family unit. Go out and have sex with anyone at any time. Pump out kids and the state will take care of them. No need to tie yourself down to a family or a marriage.

If you look at places where polygamy is a thing, you have the older guys with money and power expending their time and energy ridding the area of young guys and marrying the young women. The older wives seem to kind of “retire” and the baby making carries on with the younger wives.

The fatties and those hitting the wall would no doubt find all new levels of appreciation given a change in supply and demand (men tend to hoard women, not the other way around). More than likely not even menopausal women would be left to be surly in peace (which will make them surlier). You have to figure that in China the families of left over men are taking the extraordinary step of buying up female corpses just to have someone to bury next to them. I don’t think it would come to that here, but with the fuss being made over Caitlyn flip-flopping may take on all new meaning!
