June 26, 2015: It's time to legalize Polygamy (which is 1 of reasons to lower age of consent to TEN

Sickening. I know the article is a few months old, but it is still relevant to the issues of today WAR ON CHRISTIAN. Gay marriage, Polygamy, Pedophiles.

Lowering the age of consent to TEN YEARS OLD makes it easier for Pedophiles to get away with the crime. Would you want your child to be a target?

Comparisons to laws restricting marriage between differing races are groundless. Laws banning interracial marriage did not touch the definition of marriage; unlike this decree which does. Those laws were/are an equal protection violation, not a fundamental redefinition.

Was it a ruling, an opinion or did they make law ?

[a fool in paradise]

Polygamy, because they can’t ALL have a headache.

[Ray76]

Door #3 - “make law”

[knarf]

Congress “makes law”, not the USSC

Ding Ding Ding!

I keep waiting for the SNL joke Commercial about a Mormon Dating site:

Prospective female: "When I found out Jason only had two wives, I knew he was the one for me ..."

The age of consent used to be much lower in the country than it is now.

12-16 was normal.

It’s 12 now in Mexico, and 14 in Canada.

It’s still allowable in many states at a young age with parental consent....that’s rather odd actually! i.e. You can marry in many states at a very young age with parental consent.

That said, the idea of some 40 something creep lurking around young girls gives me the effing creeps!

Your graphic abilities are needed!

Of course this is coming. And then someday a guy will get to marry his goat.

An argument used against the idea of marrying a goat is that the goat cannot give consent. But that is looking at it from a sexist perspective. What if the goat comes on to a woman? I would think that such action would mean that consent by the goat was given. He made the first move.

Then it gets more interesting. If a woman can marry her goat, why can’t a man marry his female goat? Why can’t a homosexual man marry his male goat? Once marriage has been redefined, the definition will logically keep expanding.

[Bobalu]

It is indeed a slippery slope!

And the absurd example you give only slightly exaggerated....

[faithhopecharity]

We are taught that payback for things we do.. is often postponed to the Next World

but

Dad told us
that any guy who lives with six or seven women all at once
is surely suffering the payback for his behavior... in this life

[smokingfrog]

The Muslims will want the age of consent changed to 9 years old. Since the marriage laws of Kentucky are apparently null and void, maybe someone will go there and try it.

[Olog-hai]

Didn’t bother Mahomet.

[faithhopecharity]

good point.
maybe we should become Islamics?

[JediJones]

[faithhopecharity]

just thinking, maybe Mo managed his harem successfully because he built little apartments (huts) for each of them, (adjoining his mosque)

so they weren’t all literally ‘under one roof’

keeping them somewhat separate may be how it can work?

give it a try and report back to us???

[CharlesOConnell]

This isn't polemical, it's information seeking: I read the article at Politico, I couldn't find anything about lowering the age of consent, that was the hook for me, and I can't see your references for it. I had previously planned on bringing it up on a radio show this week, Ryan T. Anderson on Catholic Answers Friday, Sep 11, 2015 - 6pm ET. My point is that there have been agitations in the UK for lowering the age of consent for decades, and isn't that the next location of the moving target?

[coydog]

When a large group of women lives together, their “cycles” tend to synchronize. Imagine a whole harem getting PMS at once. God have mercy on the poor husband.
