Almost every country in Africa is backward and barbaric.

Polygamy is wrong any way it is sliced.

Why would I want my wives married to other men?

That is not “marriage” that is weird.

God allows for it, but only one man with one or more women.

Yes, but it has more of a historical basis than homosexual marriage. Many individuals in the Bible, for instance, were in polygamous marriages. I don’t believe there were any (with the possible exception of Sodom and Gomorrah) who were in the other.

Correct Jack!

Four would be a good limit though... don't want to over strech yourself ;)

So I might have to mix and match ;)

They could also own concubines and sex slaves, should we legalize that too?

Of coarse with polygamy, usually comes formalized male slavery for those unlucky men not politically or monetarily powerful enough to get a woman.

Heck we already have that in a unofficial fashion. The nerdy engineer doesn't get to have a girlfriend, but must pay an increasing amount of taxes to finance the single mothers impregnated by the "playas."

What makes you think I’m promoting polygamy? So when I post a thread about Hamas or ISIS I’m promoting Jihad?

If someone is making engineer money and doesn’t know how to get a girlfriend or wife, he has bigger problems than his tax rate. Did you know there are entire countries where someone like myself (fat, old, crippled up and not exactly rich) would be treated like George Clooney, Steven Tyler or Tom Cruise?

Polygamy? Well, why the hell not? How can anyone possibly argue against it now that same-sex marriage is legal in many states, transgenderism is acceptable, homosexuality in general is common place? How can there still be a moral objection to it, as long as it involves consenting adults? We are very getting very close socially accepting pedophilia if the academics are successful in brainwashing the current crop of easily influenced college students. That is not to say bigamy would ever be acceptable because that involves fraud.

What’s sauce for the goose is gravy for the gander. Why not Polyandry?

Now think of the imitation marriages (same sex) in which dozens of men (or women) live together and claim “marriage”.

Now figure how the tax codes will work on that.

It’s a little late to be worrying about the tax codes, isn’t it?

Once you call two homos buggering each other "marriage," anything goes.

You marry 4 women and they can all be married to 4 men.

How fast would a disease travel?
