Canada could be the first country in the developed world to decriminalize polygamy.

What I love about these types of people is they come in spewing nothing but hate and ignorance, making accusations of things that they do, sometimes in the very post they make the accusations in and yet when asked to show actual proof or to look at actual proof, they resort to insults in order to derail the thread.

As for that distinction... its really very simple.

A loving relationship involves equal partners, regardless of how many that may be. When approached with honesty and openness, a poly relationship is no different then a monogamous one besides the amount of love that is shared.

Contrary to some opinions, love is not a limited thing... Sharing it with someone does not diminish how much love you have left to give.

What I find the most hilarious about some of the things that have been said here, is how it relates to comments that have been made in other threads...

People who claim to be monogamous and 'righteous' talking about how they cheat or have cheated on partners.

Others who claim to be loving people who then turn around and say they couldn't love more then one person... then claim that I (the guy arguing for unlimited love) am a hater... lol

Of course, in the defense of that last group... it is sometimes hard for people to distinguish between me hating on morons and what they think of as just being hateful...

 

I enjoy how you end every post with lol's to cement the validity of your argument.

It's quite rolfcopter.

 

You think people will not notice that you haven't actually backed up your accusations?

Try to change the subject all you wish and attempt to derail the thread, all you do each time you post is prove that you don't have a single valid argument to make.

 

I just didn't find it necessary.

I myself have no problems with someone who states their opinions as facts; that whole exercise was time consuming and unnecessary.

I think it's a completely mysonistic historical institution. I think it will continue to be that way for the majority of the polygamous marriages that would happen in Canada. And i don't think you're willing to entertain that notion because you're content in your polygamous relationships.

This ties in with the next one...

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Love

Have you ever watched the show? There is not one single example of polygamy outside the way the mormons practice it.

Seems you italicized the last part, I will guess that's the part you mean is my opinion?

FACT: With no legal basis for polygamy, children in polygamous households get taken away and get put into public welfare systems. In those system, kids grow up in a very hard manner, being bounced from home to home to home, having any roots they get a chance to put down ripped up over and over and over again.

Legalizing it would eliminate that... FACT

Either you don't have kids, or you are a very controlling person (such as you accused me of being) and feel that only you are capable of doing it right.

I realize that if it isn't on fox news, you don't consider it fact, but most people don't use that as a measure.

 

After considering it for a few weeks; I know several happy polyamorous couples, and I'd hate to see them deprived of legal rights if they chose to get married.

More importantly it does seem that bringing polygamy into a public sector would work against small polygamist cults. The safety of children in those situations was my main concern, and my arguments were more emotional than logical.

I concede that I may have been wrong on this one.

 

There's nothing wrong with being concerned with the welfare of children, or being emotional about the issue.

It would just be better to aim it more accurately...
