Your views on MARRIAGE

[Mr.wizard]

Which is why I don't think its a good argument against polygamy being legal, what we are really talking about is promiscuous behavior being the problem.

And do you want to make promiscuity illegal?

Also, the original comment I made about STDs was NOT as an argument against polygamy.  It was a minor point about a mistake in someone else's post.  You have made it into a major digression.

For my argument against polygamy, see:

Just a quick heads up:  the argument is not a moral argument against polygamy, but a pragmatic one.  If you can work out all the details satisfactorily (as indicated in that post), then I will be happy to change my mind.  But right now, no one has come up with anything reasonable to make it work in the real world.  It would be very complicated (given that divorce is legal), and so the details need to be worked out before we start issuing marriage licenses for threesomes and foursomes and etc.

In ancient times, when women were essentially property, that "worked" in a way.  But that involves regarding women as property, and for my part, I am unwilling to do that for the sake of people wanting to have more than one spouse.  Indeed, I do not have sufficient vocabulary of obscenities to properly express my feelings for anyone who would want that.

No my point is making promiscuity illegal would be ridiculous. So using that as an argument against polygamy would be ridiculous.

I didn't make a major deal out of it, catholic lady she thought it was a good reason to keep polygamy illegal and I said I didn't understand why it would apply to polygamy exclusively.

I didn't even have an exchange with you about polygamy being legal or not, at least I don't think, I only asked you a simple question of why one person cheating in a polygamous marriage was different than one person cheating I a monogamous marriage.
