Homosexual "marriage" is just a foot in the door. Now the polygamists want to be legitimized. Then it will be marriage between an adult and a child. Then comes the people who want to marry their dog or horse. Once you open the door a little it's all over. Embolden one group and you give hope to all the others.
What kind of an idiot WANTS more than one wife, FGS?
Let the masochist suffer his self-induced fate, the poor sod.
One is PLENTY, thank you, and I’m now single!
Women may not be nutz, but they definitely know how to make men suffer that affliction!
Maybe I missed something in the article but I did not see that it said that the 4 people in the photo were husband and wives. In looking at their facial features, body build, etc. perhaps they are brother and sisters.
Oh ok, I get it now, that would be the next step for liberals after gay marriage, polygamy, and NAMBLA (pedophilia).
“Having one God I understand, but having only one wife? That is not..generous!” -—Hugh Griffith as Sheik somethingorother in Ben Hur..High was series..
The photo is actors on a TV show.
[/sarcasm] Right on.
Also, parents/grand parents should be able to marry their children (grandchildren)...oh and siblings should be able to marry as well. If they get sterilized -- or shown to be infertile -- then they over come ALL the reasons that incest is illegal.
Then, there are the sheep/cow human parings -- and of course apes and humans too — no children there. How 'bout people and a corpse or two....definitely no children there. The imagination runs wild, but I'll stop with just these [/sarcasm]
The photo is of the cast of a HBO series about polygamist family.
I think the name is “Big Love”
It never fails to amaze me how much anger and hysteria the subject of polygamy fails to stir up. Approximately one in two marriages in the U.S. fail. Is it possible that monogamy isn’t for everyone? My question to those who object to polygamy is this: If the adult partners are all of legal age and have consented to the relationship of their own free will what business is it of the state? I would also add that the resulting children must be well fed, well behaved, and well educated just as is required of children of monogamous parents and that the polygamous family isn’t using any form of public assistance to subsidize their lifestyle.

“Approximately one in two marriages in the U.S. fail.”
Actually, that statistic is a little deceptive. For one thing, it includes people who have had multiple divorces. Also, the stats do not include marriages which occurred in previous years and which are still in tact. I would like to see statistics on the percentage of people who divorce and how many times they divorce rather than how many marriages and divorces occur in a given year.
Ping.
hopefully, it will be made legal before it is too late demographically - in other words before it is imposed by sharia by Islam. this is the ONLY real solution to the West's low birth rate cultural death sentence that does not involve immigration, which itself is a cultural death sentence...
the pious and self-inflated moralists can start to melt now!
My father was born in 1901 and was raised in a household with his mother, father, two aunts, an uncle and two grandmothers. Back in those days, it was quite common for relatives to live under the same roof.
This environment, however, was terribly confusing for my father. It can be difficult to get two adults on the same page in connection with child rearing, and he was getting orders from seven adults while growing up. The opportunity for mixed signals to the child is too great when more than two adults are involved in raising the child.
Isn’t this just what Rick Santorum predicted?
More nagging. Yeah, that’s the ticket! More nagging. Gotta love it. More nagging. As if you didn’t have enough troubles.
That's actress Chloe Sevigny. She's definitely a woman as a Google image search (with the "Safe Search" feature turned off) will undoubtedly attest too.
“Polygamy in the Bible always met with disaterous results. Even Solomon was corrupted bt his many wives”
There are very few examples to draw from compared to the number who practiced it. Even so, the problems they ran into stemmed from their own personal flaws.
1 Kings 11
1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
2 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
Solomon is condemned not for having plural wives, but for taking wives from nations the Israelites were forbidden to inter-marry with. If he had only one wife, and she was from one of those nations, it would have been no different.
1 Kings 15
4 Nevertheless for Davids sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
David’s fault was in sleeping with another man’s wife, not with the many wives he had before that event. In fact God said he gave David those many wives, and would have even given him more if David wanted (see 2 Samuel 12). I find it hard to believe that David would be less inclined to adultery if he only had one wife.
Monogamous marriages are not smooth and easy either and some of them go very bad. Having several wives is even harder to do successfully.
Everyone has faults, and everyone brings trouble into their lives by the things they do wrong, but the record of the Bible shows polygamy was not forbidden. Christians would be on shaky ground if they try to whip up opposition for it among the faithful on the grounds of it being immoral or sinful.
[HBO’s “Big Love”.]
The objective is desensitization. It’s the same tactic they used with homosexuality.
King David KILLED another man for Bathsheba. Was that right in the eyes of the Lord?
