Shit, you are a moran.

Umm, wrong. There are no polygamist marriages as they are illegal… There are people who have violated the law, and are hiding this from the other spouse.

There are those who want this type of marriage but can’t. Nice try though…

I’ve seen polygamy threads here before. Why haven’t you been all over it complaining about the discrimination?

Marriage requires an informed consent from all parties. That includes all other wives (husbands). The typical polygamous marriage in the US does not meet those criteria.

Underage, brainwashed, trapped, uneducated, and promised wives are more the norm. All control is held by the sole husband.

When we can get past those hurdles then I will start calling for their equal standing.

It’s too easy nailing libs. Like shooting fish in a barrel…

Yup you nailed me on that one. I don’t always have time to read every thread. That really makes your case … somehow … unless it doesn’t.

Naw, it’s just fun highlighting the hypocrisy of the left.

So, as a conservative you’re more interested in government control on this issue?

LOL

Paddy-O, animals can’t consent, so obviously no. Obviously that brings up another problem. Is meat murder?

Gay marriage is a danger to marriage. Here in California with its recent enforcement by the courts, I had to tell my wifey that our relationship had been torn assunder because of this new law. How can I stay married to her when Frank and George down the block can get married and act just as wifey and I do? Its like, it makes ME gay too. What a terrible assault on my masculinity.

But it does figure that Mikey would get the continuum issue wrong. My other big jag of course is “its defintional.” Marriage is defintional. Once defined, it can be located on several different continuums. “Degree of ease in getting out” of would be one such continuum.

Mikey is so uniformily stupid though, I have to think he is “mostly” putting us on. Can anyone really be so retro and still function in society?

Although I’m not church going kind of person (no really) I think they should not be “forced” to perform any marriages they don’t want to.

I didn’t hear anyone suggest that religious institutions be required to perform such marriages. Some religious leaders may choose to do so. Some may not. Some religious institutions also do not allow marriage between people of different faiths, even if they are very similar. This is about laws allowing such marriages. Justices of the peace can perform weddings.

How about with animals?

Yes. I would even allow an ass like you to marry.*

Are you planning to tell me how your sheep is going to say “I do”?

Please stay on topic here.

* Damn!! I’m once again guilty of insulting perfectly good-natured animals, donkeys in this case, by comparing them to humans.

How about with animals?

From a practical point of view, I struggle with the age of consent which I see as a far bigger issue than gay or polygamous marriage. 16 seems fine to me, but this is also arbitrary and I don’t have good, solid reasoning for changing it, raising it, lowering it, or whatever.
