Well, WTF!! Who’s business is it who and how many people that I marry!
I suppose that all you gay marriage supporters were outraged that the government raided the ‘polygamist’ compound–you know, the one where all the women were happy being there?
You can’t have it both ways. Either EVERYTHING is ok when it comes to marriage or society, as a whole, can determine what we condone as the social norm.
Come on meadandale, you’re a smart guy. You can do way better than that. The fundamental difference is that in those systems under most circumstances the partners aren’t. A 14 year old has no real ability to make clear decisions. Polygamy, well F*CK me, have you EVER seen a polyandrous society? Funny how its always one dude and a bunch of women (often just barely girls.) Your logic, was so sloppy on your rebuttal you really need to rethink that.
If you are against gay marriage, as you’ve stated, hey thats cool, but please have a cogent argument; that or just say, “Jeebus said it, I believe it, end of discussion!”
Suffice it to say, I’d say I’m on fairly solid ground when I say I support laws which tend to enfranchise people and don’t when laws are intended to disenfranchise. That is except when those enfranchisement laws incite one group to take advantage of another, say predatory lending, or polygamy.
