Divorce lawyers are salivating...
Muzzies can have up to 4 wives - and a large majority of the world is going that route - so it makes sense to me </sarc>
Actually, one could make the case for it. 50 years ago, it wasn't needed. Now, many men are reluctant to get married 'cause they're getting the milk for free. As a result, lots of women who want to get married and have kids can't. As a result, this could help reverse the "child deficit" among Caucasians.
One could also argue that we have a form of this right now (called serial monogamy). Except that if you like another partner, you've got to break up your existing family to make it happen.
Of course, even if this were possible, you'd still have to talk your first wife into it. While that could be tough, it might not be if your wife would rather have you bothering someone other than her for sex.
And it's downhill from here....
In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on a something shocking
but now God knows
Anything goes...
The whole concept of marriage has been corrupted, starting with the gay marriage garbage. I'd rather see the government get out of the marrage recognition business altogether. Let the people get married in their church, and that's it. Any legal necessities between a couple can be done without legal marriage, so it isn't necessary.
since the degenerate marxists cant use homosexuals to destroy marraige and thus the family unit, they will use this avenue.
Communist Goals (1963 congressional record)

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
If my daughter should happen to read this: Remember I told you this would happen. Ready to share your husband yet, huh????
I really get tired of being RIGHT all the time.
the world has gone mad today, it looks bad today...
"the world has gone mad today, it looks bad today..."
good authors too who once knew better words now only use four letter words writing prose....
Yes, mom.......
Take my husband please.
Just this morning I had a high school student tell me that there shouldn't be any restrictions on how many people she can marry, since gays want to marry. Why not two husbands and three wives? We've already had a woman marry a dolphin recently. Eventually, all sex will be reduced to the pleasant sensation gained from rubbing skin against something else. The childbearing and reproductive aspects of sex, by definition, will then be eliminated or hidden under social shame. We're already close to this point in some quarters; you'd be amazed at the number of young men and young women who want no children and lots of sex. When most of us hit that point, in my opinion, the culture is dead.
I've already run across one of the polyamorists at the local university when I was taking education classes several years ago. As always, the latest decline in standards is portrayed as liberation, and if you disagree, you're oppressive. Maybe we'll just have to hit bottom before we understand the need for self-discipline and moral conduct.
I'm with you.....I could use a stay at home wife around here too...I'm sick of cleaning, cooking, running errands, bill paying, phone calling and laundry!
What? Where is anyone commanded by God to have more than one wife?
[Actually, one could make the case for it. 50 years ago, it wasn't needed. Now, many men are reluctant to get married 'cause they're getting the milk for free.]
As a single man, I have to admit that I get surprised and learn a lot on FR. For instance, did a lot of older men in American society really marry partly because they would finally be able to get sex? I guess before 1968...that actually was the case. Wow! I think I remember reading about that in a history book somewhere.
[One could also argue that we have a form of this right now (called serial monogamy). Except that if you like another partner, you've got to break up your existing family to make it happen.]
The real other form that exists right now (for some guys) is the girlfriend in San Francisco, the girlfriend in LA and the girlfriend in Reno (not necessarily with any bad premarital sex going on). The breaking up part isn't very fair or nice to someone you may want to be friends with forever.
[Of course, even if this were possible, you'd still have to talk your first wife into it. While that could be tough, it might not be if your wife would rather have you bothering someone other than her for sex.]
And this is where I lose you. If your first wife is someone that you *want* to bother all the time for sex...then you are a lucky man! No need for the second wife.
[What? Where is anyone commanded by God to have more than one wife?]
I think he is referring to the Rachel/Leah deal where the older sister had to be married first. Isaac or Jacob. Who cares. It is the Old Testament. It is not as if it is anything Paul wrote.
As I consider the Old Testament every bit the revelation of the New Testament, I looked up the reference to Rachel and Leah. Nowhere does God order polygamy, in fact Jacob's marriage to two women came about through the deception of Rachel and Leah's father. So I think that the fellow's point is just off.
i'm interested in your comment about the woman marrying a dolphin.
can a person marry TWO dolphins?
can people marry penguins, too, or is it just dolphins?
(I'm not sayin' i'm INTO penguins--i'm jes' askin out of curiosity)
I'm sure they're doing some of the string pulling to legitimize this.
