So, what's the deal with polygamy?

OregonMeds · Mar 7, 2011

I didn't mention I'm polyamorous and bi, probably would have better explained my take on it. People don't like me for either and I don't give a shit.

And believe me,there are plenty of other "normal" polyamorous bi's and straights of both sexes in every state/city etc in this country and probably worldwide. All who have absolutely nothing to do with those mormon based cults people think of. And they are cults and they do brainwash their kids, it's sick. Then again every religion is a cult and they all brainwash their kids so in reality what's the difference?

Land of the free and home of the brave? No, never has been, people gobble up whatever fear media and our guvment puts into them and from what I've seen in the news lately never will be brave or free again as a whole.

Christianity is behind much of our problems today more than any mormon or other cult. I've been watching aljazeera and reading more news online and the comments left by "normal average" readers/viewers prove out how retarded our mainstream religious folks are, not even counting the nutjobs.

Wikipedia for the win:
" Polyamory (from Greek πολύ [poly, meaning many or several] and Latin amor [love]) is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate relationship at a time with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved.

Polyamory, often abbreviated to poly, is sometimes described as consensual, ethical, or responsible non-monogamy."

I do love the show Big Love btw.

Who the fuck knows what common laws we might have to work around in england, the governemnt does everything in it's powers to make you believe there is no common law and that legislation pwns all and sundry, yet half the onvictions in the UK seem to be for common law offences and the police even have training guidelines on what constitutes common law offences and legislative offences. So i'e no fecking idea where i'd stand over here with that.

I don't see how someone can have a legal definition of what marriage can be and how it mmust work. Why would my marriage have to conform to yoru view of marriage. If i had a girlfriend, and i beat the shit out of her, she accepted it, essentially everything a girlfriend boyfriend relationship isn't, but who the fuck is anyone to decide that they can't be called boyfriend girfriend. I say the same for husband wife. If i introduce my self as the slave, people do not think slave, they think joke etc. BAsically that was a pointless rant simply re-asserting who the fuck do they think they are to judge me and what i decide to call things. God forbid one of my bosses ever visits texas, she often referes to men she has her eye on as her husband, in a daft joking way, she's a litty kuckoo, but would texas deem her a married woman or something? that would be entertaining.

both parties must profess it..............otherwise there would be a ton of marriages at the bar at closeing time LOL

Actually I know of several married couples who never have sex, straight women with completely gay men in obviously open relationships but who would never have it any other way. If you're satisfied mentally with whoever you love or are married to sex is secondary or of no importance.

Truth be told love knows no bounds, and most people would do well to understand not everyone fits in a one size fits all box.

However I've been divorced and almost married again until I saw the train wreck just in time before the crash, haven't found one right one yet and I'm half way to death at my age so whatever, I just know what we've been taught to be normal is just bs, there is no normal we are all different.

I only have orgies with close friends, unless I've had two pints of booze then I do tend to go after any cute married couple in sight and have gotten in trouble many times due to being too forward hitting on them. Tell me if you're a badfish too.

Aint got no money to spend, oh and this night will never end. Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off of this reef.

Are gays or in your case Bi's allowed to smoke pot in a Babtist church? I remember somehing about being stoned in the bible...........glad Im an athiest and I dont know if I have any gay friends.....I dont bother to ask.......

ScottTheSkeptic · Mar 8, 2011

Contrary to the beliefs of most people, polygamy is actually more fair and desirable to females. In a monogamous society, there is approximately one female for every male. In our society specifically, the richer males hoard the breeding YEARS of the females, then ditch them for younger mate, whereas a rich polygamous man would simply hoard the females. In the former, the females are left out to the streets, old and unattractive, and will have to find a mate based on that. In the latter, the females are typically well taken care of. Secondly, if rich men hoard women, there are more men to go around. A woman would typically be able to find a partner who is more attractive than her because of the fierce competition. Most women think polygamy is sexist in man's favor, but its really not their business telling other women they can't triple up on a rich guy, besides, they have a wider selection of males to choose from and not every man desires/can support more than one female.

I wouldn't know, I'm an athiest too and have been since early childhood. I left catholic school around 13 as soon as I was old enough to recognize what bullshit it all was. I must admit I don't know what a baptist is, how they differ from any other christian sect, I mean cult.

I know jesus loved his ganja back in the day though, it's in the bible vaguely mentioned but clear enough to be obviously cannabis, and that it was the basis for his supposed healing "miracles" most if not all the time. Also that he taught people to sew those seeds, spread them, and was given the knowledge of cannabis not by some "god" but by educated people of some other culture outside his region who were already using it as their main medicine and etc for who knows how long. Probably Egyptians, who had soma made with it and other fun stuff. It's use probably predates all history and I'll probably be dead before it's legal again.

I don't associate with too many even mildly religious folks in real life. I avoid the topic mostly in person, except with truly close friends. Otherwise I think less of people for still believing in Santa god their lifelong invisible sky friend, and not thinking for themselves.

It's hard for me to understand how adults wouldn't grow out of those beliefs even if brainwashed as a child.

mellokitty · Mar 8, 2011

i sense the power of the christian lobby, i mean, c'mon:
"let's see, religious fanaticism, child abuse, domestic violence, stat rape, rape, and polygamy all happened within the same group of people. well, now, the problem must OBVIOUSLY be the polygamy part, because GOOD people have NEVER committed horrible atrocities in the name of OUR god." (<-man, i need a shower just from typing that. ick.)

it would be more convenient if we could all just go stand under a neon sign that made our preferences clear; i just fear that the lonely guy standing under "i like to have bread kneaded on my belly while you sing me lullabies" might be standing there for a LONG time.....

What's the word for this without the knowledge and consent of both smuts?

I didn't even mention it at all in my first post and half the other two posts were humor aimed at only myself. Two posts I mention it, later in the thread, and that's too much for you?
You are a grown man are you not? You should be able to handle discussions that include things outside your comfort zone, if not I think you're in the wrong thread.
It was pertinent to the discussion. It's not like I hit on you and your wife/gf or whatever, at least not that I know.

Maybe you prefer:

Or maybe you're also upset because you're a believer, and I dissed religion and adults believing in invisible friends? If so it wasn't personal.

The power of Christ compels you to stop making shitty posts.

How does it always come back to religion for you? We get it! You don't believe in religion or god. Good for you, but you don't see me rubbing my sprituality in anybody's face, so I'd appreciate it if you'd not rub your atheism in mine. Thanx. ;-)

First off, I wasn't talking to you. Second, there's no need to talk of rubbing your things in anyones face or me rubbing things in your face. I'm uncomfortable with both your latent homosexual talk. Why does it always come down to rubbing things and faces for you people? My talk of my views on religion are just as relevant to this thread as my sexuality is, which is why it came up in the first place, after talk of the religious aspects polygamy brings to mind and mormons etc. I was asked about religion first I didn't start with it either.

Get over your sensitive selves and grow up! You knew full well by the thread title this was not a thread for your type, and thus shouldn't have even clicked on it.

"god" will take care of me according to your views so it's none of your concern, plus you're taught to be tolerant and not to judge lest ye be judged yourself.
Please allow me the freedom to work my way into everlasting torture care of your loving and forgiving god, just as you are allowed the freedom to be a moron without people like me chasing you down the street with pitchforks.

My views may annoy you, but at least they aren't responsible for wars and killings and tortures and crusades and the predicament we're in all over the world, where you've put all our lives at even greater risk than ever before and completely ruined everyones financial future, and the stability of our entire nation.

WinNinG! :wall:

I NEVER said a word about your sexuality. You threw up something which I find insulting to people of faith, which had little relevance to the discussion at hand. Then you go off on some tangent about war and crusades

...............just an FYI, I'm not religious. You don't know the first thing about ME or MY views my friend. I just don't see the need to make offensive comments and put up offensive shit about "Imaginary men in the sky" or whatever. You don't want people flaming you for your sexuality, I would appreciate a little of the same courtesy from you regarding your views on religion and god. Thanks, and have a nice day! :-P

So, what's the deal with polygamy?
