Can someone summarize this thread for me? I thought it was about allowing gay marriage, yes/no/monkey? What has that to do with plural marriage?
BTW never forget that those damn christians have the monopoly on knowing the truth, and if their book says its not alright then its not alright, end of discussion!!!! |

When Scuzzy doesn't want to answer a question or can't get around a point he diverts the subject and people have a tendency to just let him do it. Not that it does any good not to. You'd need a diamond tipped drill and a team of surgeons to get something into his head. That's why the subject has shifted away from the point.

Well, you should consider that topics have the tendency to meander and drift off the original point naturally in unmoderated discussions. This happens regardless of any particular tendencies of someone participating in a thread.

True enough but a quick skim-read seems to show that he brought up all of the alternate topics so far. Coincidence I'm sure.

Okay. Reasonable arguments against plural marriage:-
Strongly promotes sexism. multiple male partners to one female is very rare. Gender split amongst humans is very close to 50/50. Widespread polygamy would result in fewer marriages and more lonely single people. More competition for partners, more social tension, more stress. Quite possibly a more superficial society. A relationship of one man shared by two or more women is inequitable. In countries like Senegal where polygamy is legal, multiple wives have become a status symbol. A symbol of wealth and power (you have to be quite wealthy to support them.) Basically men without wives are of very low status, married women are above them, unmarried women above them and married men at the top. It can create a tiered society in this way. These are all reasonable arguments against introducing polygamy (which isn't even close to being an issue in Britain so you probably know it better than me.) It would upset the social status quo. I know of no argument against homosexuality. The parrellel is not there to be drawn. |

Honestly, plural marriage commonly is brought up in discussions of gays and marriage. I believe I understand why it gets brought up but I don't think it belongs. Far better to focus on the discussion at hand and see it to whatever conclusion it may find. As far as one's own position on gays and marriage I think it's fine for someone to hold whatever view they choose to hold. That's their responsibility. To flame someone for their position is just the flamer being impolite and immature. Live and let live it's not like you're going to sway anyone on this anyway.
You guys are, honestly, ignorant when it comes to plural marriage and you're all too prideful to acknowledge it. It's fairly common knowledge that the punishment for having more than one wife is....having more than one wife. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.

I agree with your first sentiment though. Plural marriage does not belong in a discussion about gay marriage. They're two different issues. It's a weak diversionary tactic of Scuzzy's because he can't argue a case against arse-bandits getting married. I must admit to not being wholly comfortable with gay marriage. I was born and bred in a back-water, backward little town where people are very conservative (but not in a sense someone who hasn't lived in Yorkshire would recognise :P) and there's some of that in me I suspect. All I know is I can't find any argument against it so it's fine. Having said that, it's not something I care about at all. |

Hence the childishness of my response... stinky.
Not responding to Scuzzy because he's typing bollocks again. It'll just take my faith in mankind sub zero. |
