Might as well legalise polygamy while we are at it. Hell, add in marrying your house pet as well. We don't need any morality in this country anymore.

Dad? When did you get the intraweb?



I saw the new show on HBO, and it showed 3 adult women choosing this lifestyle. The problem is with the communities where 11 and 12 year old girls are basically forced into it.

But they did touch on that a little when they went to the compound with the young girl.

Yeah, they did a decent job of showing people who choose this lifestyle v. people who don't know anything other than this lifestyle.

The question they ask is valid, how is this different than gay marriage?

And really if we can eat dogs, why can't we love them in that Fred Astaire type of way as well?

Um, because with gay marriage, they're only asking to be married to one person.

Is this a clever shot at Asians?

I mean, there's evidence that it happens, but still....

See, I always associate Vietnamesse with eating dogs and cats because of this story in the late 90s about Vietnam having a rat infestation because they ate all their cats.

But most of my friends associate that little stereotype with Flipinos and Koreans.

Either way.....YOU DON'T EAT YOUR BEST FRIEND!!!!!

I think it's most Asian cultures outside of Japan. I think a lot of people eat it in Hawaii too. I'm getting grossed out but http://www.deliciousdogs.com/ and a bunch of other websites discuss it.
