"Polygamy" is the all-inclusive term; whether or not he meant it, he said it. Joel Send a noteboard - 22/10/2012 04:31:09 PM
A two person household is inefficient. Now if you take 5 people, you have a much better efficiency curve for raising children.

I also assume that by polygamy you mean multiple people, not just multiple wives. The problem with polygamy is it comes from a place of deeply unequal social positions for men and women, and is harmful to society.

All the same Equal Protection arguments apply; legally recognizing polygyny requires the same for polyandry.

For all you supporters of Gay Marriage: What about polygamy? - 20/10/2012 12:02:06 AM 1381 Views
Legal rights. - 20/10/2012 12:14:10 AM 784 Views
It almost sounds like you are saying... - 20/10/2012 12:31:40 AM 756 Views
That is what I'm saying it. - 20/10/2012 01:07:50 AM 739 Views
Technically, privileges, not rights. - 20/10/2012 04:16:45 AM 741 Views
Sure - 20/10/2012 12:35:53 AM 673 Views
All for it... For adults over the age of 18. *NM* - 20/10/2012 01:18:04 AM 395 Views

should be legal, would be nice for poly people. should include polygyny and polyandry. *NM* - 20/10/2012 03:29:05 AM 383 Views
poly people? - 20/10/2012 12:44:01 PM 713 Views
Government needs to stop legislating morality. So yes *NM* - 20/10/2012 03:36:37 AM 371 Views
That's a huge chunk of what government does. - 20/10/2012 04:35:45 PM 712 Views
That's not what I'm saying - 21/10/2012 03:21:08 AM 732 Views
So you're opposed to abortion and gun control then? Welcome aboard! - 21/10/2012 06:14:14 AM 682 Views
Why do you keep talking about gay marriage and polygamy in the same sentence.. - 20/10/2012 03:58:26 AM 756 Views
Get a grip. Your response is just what I tried to avoid. - 20/10/2012 04:33:40 AM 676 Views
The more fool you. - 21/10/2012 05:55:30 AM 771 Views
Ha! Point. *NM* - 20/10/2012 05:40:34 AM 570 Views
Marriage is always a choice, whatever the motive(s.) - 22/10/2012 04:00:40 PM 706 Views
Yes, but only if its equal. Multi-people relationships should be more acceptable by society. - 20/10/2012 05:15:24 AM 774 Views
On the other hand, marriage also comes from that place. - 20/10/2012 06:11:01 AM 755 Views
There's a pun to be made from your comment *NM* - 20/10/2012 06:12:53 AM 626 Views
"Polygamy" is the all-inclusive term; whether or not he meant it, he said it. - 22/10/2012 04:31:09 PM 669 Views
I got no opinion on it. - 20/10/2012 12:51:43 PM 797 Views
The idea of a group marriage makes me uncomfortable - 20/10/2012 04:19:48 PM 680 Views
As long as it is equitable - 20/10/2012 05:55:57 PM 675 Views
The state shouldn't even recognize marriage beyond name changes anyway - 21/10/2012 03:52:40 AM 746 Views

I don't give a damn what you call it. That's your business. - 21/10/2012 06:17:40 AM 1078 Views
And so? - 21/10/2012 07:05:08 AM 708 Views

Legal contracts must be open to all consenting adults, or none. - 22/10/2012 03:11:55 PM 756 Views
You are correct, yet your reasoning is flawed. - 23/10/2012 03:20:25 PM 682 Views
Again, the Equal Protection Clause has far less force on private entities than on government. - 23/10/2012 03:52:06 PM 620 Views
Much less force, yes. - 23/10/2012 04:15:03 PM 623 Views
The crux is "If it's my business, it's my business." - 23/10/2012 04:43:25 PM 697 Views

No the analogy is not exact, nor legally the same... - 23/10/2012 07:33:25 PM 592 Views
Analogy is not equality, only similarity. - 24/10/2012 04:37:29 PM 787 Views
We aren't asking for something better or different. - 23/10/2012 04:27:04 PM 681 Views
yeah, it is very circular. - 23/10/2012 07:44:33 PM 714 Views
