But then again Libertarians are dreamers like Communists.

Shut your piehole. And I still argue that it's none of the govt's business who I'm having sex with/marrying/etc.

From my point of view polygamy is like having a very open marriage with set additional partners.
We live in a welfare state. Taxes pay to support that state. We can get rid of all that but I doubt it would improve the state of things much.
Actually Marriage can be commpletely secular, depending on the individuals views.
Marriage is not just about sex. If you love that dog, and don't have sex with it, then is it acceptable? And if the dog gets turned on by some dirty girl that treated him well and comes back for more, is he consenting? And does consent really matter when we've said we will beat you, torment you, eat you, and wear you because we dominate you as man?

And how about marrying your parents or siblings? Is that OK too?

I don't know if Brit really cares so much about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I don't think that's substantial proof.

Marriage at city hall is not a religious event. As a matter of fact, it has absolutely no religious implications. I didn't get a tax break this year, and I just got married. In fact I think we paid more in taxes this year, even had we filed seperately just because we're both married now.
And as far as polygamy goes, you can't really get a non-moral perspective on it. I don't know many people who say "meh" to the topic of polygamy. If that's your schtick fine, but don't play devil's advocate just for the sake of argument.

And there are tax breaks for kids, so baptisms don't matter. Aside from the fact that you wouldn't be taxing people of certain religions that don't baptize.

Rather negative view of marriage you have.

Swing and a miss!

You entirely missed my point. As in, my point was in Ohio and you were aiming at Japan.

Well then your point is about as convoluted as this argument, because I couldn't find it with a fine toothed comb and I've reread the thread a few times. Apparently I wasn't as clear as I could have been, but realistically who cares?

Quite honestly, I couldn't give a rats ass as to whom you are married to answer your original question. To use your own words here: Why do you keep challenging me with this? Everyone here is entitled to their own opinion, I wasn't saying yours was wrong, I just don't see the point in your argument back to me when you didn't even really address the actual topic at hand and got off on a tangent about bestiality, some girl at college you knew who apparently has a snout, and apparently that I am personally responsible for legislating your sex life.

If your question truly is why are we legislating sex lives then why not bring up the ridiculous amount of laws there are legislating sex/masturbation/sex toy sales in certain states, not by jumping in the wagon train for polygamy activism and the fact that the government isn't cool with polygamy as a way to legislate sex lives. Where does the government state you can't have sex with as many people as you want?

Polygamy and polyamory are two entirely different things. Polygamy = more than two spouses
polyamory= participation in simultaneous loving/sexual relationships.

Nowhere did I say that people shouldn't do what they want with respect to their sex lives as consenting adults. Heck, if polyamory is someone's thing, fine, I just said that "I" think that polygamy is wrong. <-- (My opinion...just in case it wasn't clear enough for you.)

Yes I did...did you? No really? When you can do something other than make comments that a six year old might make, it might actually be worth responding to at that point.

I wouldn't worry about it AOII_LB93, she has a hard time accepting other people's opinions. She's pretty good at the "my way or the highway" attitude.

Well, let's see.

You missed:

* the point of the thread
* understanding my posts
* understanding other people's posts
* appropriately attributing posts to the correct people

Then you:

* clarified points that didn't need clarifying
* offered your opinion on a political issue, without including any politics or logic
* neglected to contribute anything to the argument
* accused me of being the 6 year old.

I think this discussion is over your head.
-- Move along to D&R

You missed:

* the point of the thread - Not at all.
* understanding my posts - Easily done, you really aren't that deep.
* understanding other people's posts - Not so much.
* appropriately attributing posts to the correct people - Did not do that either.

Then you:

* clarified points that didn't need clarifying - SHOCK! Because you haven't done the same ever, have you?!?!?
* offered your opinion on a political issue, without including any politics or logic - Because no one, especially you, has ever done that before
* neglected to contribute anything to the argument - Which didn't have anything to do with the original post.
* accused me of being the 6 year old. - I never said you were six, tell me where I said that?
I think this discussion is over your head. - Wow, so when you don't agree with someone you send them to D&R...oh, wow, so you can insult them further there? Great idea! Why don't you stay over there since most of what you have been doing lately is getting on people for their opnions.
-- Move along to D&R - No thanks...don't need to.
