Poly Marriage in the US

i actually agree with 99% of what you wrote.

I will never agree with a system that allows people(monogamous or poly) to milk the system.

 

Thank you dietcoketree for pointing that out, and I'm sorry I didn't mention it earlier. I am aware that the folks who still practice polygamy under the auspices of Mormon have actually broken from the main body of the church, but they do still call themselves Mormon. It's kind of ironic really, Mormons in the rest of the US are still struggling to overcome the twisted image of their religion presented by those few, and polyamorous folk are trying to get past the twisted image of polygamy presented by those same people.

I have to agree with you there, I don't really like the system as it is either, but I'm not up to trying to change welfare. I'm simply saying that as it stands, I see no reason why polyamorous groups should be considered more of a drain on the system than anyone else.

 

Fuck hillbillie that's the most profound thing I have read from you. Probably because it cuts me up, man.

 

luvin you sister..

 

It's all good to make blanket statements when you are not claiming to be "on the record" or whatever-- but if you are trying to sound like you know it all, please get your facts straight. Mormons do not practice polygamy-- a faction of crazy Mormons who broke off from the main religion practice it. They are not Mormon, they are.... some long church name I don't remember. If you want to talk about Mormon polygamy talk about what happened pre-1890s. Men began taking on extra wives because prejudiced people persecuted the men of this religion-- many hundreds died. God gave the widowed women a gift of a righteous man to help raise their families, and women were never forced into it (actually some already married couples had to be pushed into it, because they balked at thinking God could actually approve, but with prayer and fasting, they figured out yes, God can still love you if you have special circumstances). God doesn't give a shit what others think about him or you-- it was the right decision at the time-- which is how, in my opinion, everyone should look at love (finding the right decision for your lifetime) I don't profess to know everything about it myself but I think it's pretty wrong people are still willing to be prejudiced about this subject. We're supposed to be the open-minded ones here, and sometimes it takes a spot of research, people!

 

Crap, I should have read others' posts before I bothered to rant.

 

I think it should be allowed, as long as all parties are consenting. IE-man #1 and woman #1 marry...man #1 sneeks off and marrying woman #2 who is married to man #2. They should all consent and agree to the double triple quad marriage...


To much of a headache if you ask me-if have enough trouble with one SO...
