Canada could be the first country in the developed world to decriminalize polygamy.

Mine comes from living it for almost the last 20 years.

In terms of definitions this may be helpful to some.

Tom,

If polygamy has been illegal, how have you been living it for the past 20 years?

You've been a swinger, and you're bragging about it online as if it gives your argument credibility.

Again, I don't live in your hemisphere, I have no moral qualms with being a swinger, or having legal protections for swinging partners. My concern is that the entire modern legacy of polygamy is wife collecting of poor young girls, who are often brutalized and left without an option to support themselves.

And the fact that you wave that legacy away as a problem that'll be ''figured out'" without so much as a forethought of the implications just to protect your lifestyle; makes you a very bad man.

-Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Weeds been illegal the whole time to and I've been smoking for much longer. Does that confuse you too?

I used to have respect for you, because I had been under the impression that you had put more thought into life then most people.

Apparently I was wrong, you are just a sheep who happened to follow a different path.

You show me one place where I have disrespected your life choices or done something that did other then support other people's choices where it didn't involve harming children or others.

As for you assertion that I have just been a swinger, believe what you wish. The amount your opinion means to me, has plummeted to nothing.

You are by far worse then a backwards homophobic redneck... They don't have a clue what effect people like them have on the people they attack based on their lifestyle...

You do.

 

just b/c it's illegal doesnt mean you cant do it. lol. you must have used wiki to research you "debate". take an anthropology class and travel the world. there are plenty of societies that practice polyandry and polygamy that does not "victimize" women lmao. once again, when you use absolutes like "the entire modern lagacy", you invalidate your argument.

tom is a good man lmao.

this is really funny.

 

A partnership is a relationship between two or more persons formed to execute business.

That was your definition of marriage; not confusing, your context. If marriage is a legal construct, and your doing it illegally, than it's fine for me. I was best man at my sisters gay wedding in a state where it's illegal.

And you seemed to be boasting about your philandering lifestyle.

Which I have no problems with if you are or are not. I've been affine to more than one woman before too. Really deeply affectionate towards.

Again, my problem, which you don't acknowledge, you just call me a redneck, is the entire modern history of polygamy is one of misogyny. And you refuse to acknowledge the problem because you enjoy your lifestyle, making no distinction between partners forming loving relationships in any forms; and people owning humans as property, which happens all over North America.

But since it's blind to your eyes, you don't care.

You're a bad man.

 

stop fucking saying "entire", you are wrong! shit!

 

No it isnt, I'm right , you're wrong


Make like a Croupier and Deal

 

Yes, I am a horrible person... I speak truth to assholes like you. I return respect to those who show it to me. I am honest and upfront about who and what I am. I treat people as people and not as genders or choice of relationships.

I totally understand why you think these are the qualities of someone who is bad.

 

lol :love:

 

Funny how you and lode are in agreement over this...

Your choice of companions is really telling.

 

I have a degree in anthropology and literature from and am now living in Cambodia; in terms of longitude exactly halfway across the world from my hometown. That doesn't validate my position however.

I may have used absolutes and try to elucidate Tom, there are certainly loving examples of polygamous relationships all around the world. Ones I have no problems with.

but when you turn a blind eye to the fact that there is a substantial human trafficking problem in North America, by telling me that there are loving examples of polygamy worldwide, you miss my entire point too.

This is mother fucking hilarious. :biggrin:

 

You fucking moronic putz...

Where have I turned a blind eye to these problems?

These problems have nothing to do with polygamy... if the people who did those things never heard of polygamy, they would still be predators...

It is when fucking putzes like you lump a group of people together and say, look, one of them does this, therefore all of them do, is the PERFECT example of what you accuse me of, turning a blind eye to the truth.

And of course you ran off to Cambodia, I hear that is one of the best place for child molesting predators to go in order to rape little children.

 

You're a lion in your own world tom.

Romantic.

 

I've been trying to address a problem, which is human trafficking, which polygamy will contribute too. You being interested in polygamy doesn't make you guilty of any of that, nor did I ever imply it. What I said was the legalization of polygamy will contribute to an increase of human trafficking if not properly monitored.

You imply people being concerned about it are redneck conservatives trying to attack your lifestyle. And that's why I say you're a bad man, for considering the welfare of your lifestyle over the welfare of other without forethought.

You're a bad man Tom.

 

No I don't you backwards fuck...

I say that people like you who say things like the following are fucking rednecks;

As for this next part.... This is why you are a moronic fucking putz...

I am the one who has been arguing there is a difference from the beginning. YOU are the one who is making no distinctions...

Seriously if you are too fucking stupid to realize that accusing other people of things that you have said in a thread where it can be quoted back to you is a bad idea, you really should at least learn to stop trying.

 

I also said:

I never failed to make the distinction within the context of the thread. Only in regards to your posts, and your; as I see it, limited view of the scope of the situation.

I'm not interested in semantics.

There are obvious distinctions between loving multiple partners wanting to form marriages, and the obvious implications of human trafficking which would increase in Canada.

I think, at the expense of marrying multiple partners, you might consider the implications that legalized polygamy would allow, without accusing everyone who disagrees with you of being closed minded tossing around insults to cement your credibility.

As far as 'credibility' and 'making distinctions' go, you implicitly accused me of being a pedophile for where I live one paragraph ago.

You're a classy man.

 

You not only failed to make the distinction, you repeatedly said over and over that there was none. Legalizing polygamy won't in anyway allow anyone to do anything more then be married in a polygamous relationship.

The rest has nothing to do with it, except to people with closed minds like you.

Your last line... Are you really that dense? That was a lesson... Just as not all people who go to Cambodia do so for the purposes of raping little children, neither are all people who are interested in polygamy, either mormons, islamic or anything else, besides being interested in polygamy.

As for people who disagree with me, people can disagree with my opinion any time they wish, and still get along... What they can't do, is state their opinions as fact.

 

Except that it does affect other people than you, people with lascivious intentions which you call people like me pointing out social ramifications of closed minded.

And wasn't a lesson, it was a taunt. The subtle difference between leading a horse to water and forcing them to chug it. You state your opinion as fact as well, and you do it with the utmost dickish contempt for those who disagree with you.

Nobody else is posting in this rather interesting thread because you're so overwhelming hostile to anyone who disagrees.

Chill out.

 

Show me where my OPINION has been stated as FACT.

I could point out where you have done that, but seems I have already quoted them, there seems no need.

 

I love how you encourage tom to make a distinction between "loving relationships" and "slavery", yet you refuse to acknowledge the same distinction. lmao
