Allright then. Here's the thread link. Let's post there

Yeah it's not bannable, what you siad, but would give the modders justification to close the topic.

I didn't mean all religion was a scam, and to get this back on topic, I don't even have a problem with religion enforcing a certain lifestyle, that's the decision of the institution, and it's the decision of the people that follow it to follow it or not, they're not forced to. What get's me is when government starts telling people what they can and can't do on a civil level, where it's not even a metter of security vs freedom, it's just them being ideologues. That's what get's me about this whole polygamy thing, certain politicians think they have the right to enforce their own personal viewpoints over everybody else.

For me, it's unthinkable to attach myself to more than one woman, I couldn't dream of it any more than attaching myself to a man or an animal (promiscuous sex with more than one woman, that I'm less against) but I don't try to enforce these beliefs over other people, especially when I'm not part of their culture or situation.

Well, my problem with polygamy is not so much about the idea, its about the people behind it. So many polygamist colonies have (often truthful) accusations of sexual crimes of many kinds under their belts, and I can't let those slide for the few polygamists that live a happy life. I've seen the people who leave those families and they are not one bit happy that when they didn't accept being someones wife, they were discommunacated or worse.

Also, even if every polygamist was a good person and everyone was happy in those relationships, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with it. Having more than one person trying to get me up in the morning might actually end in me getting up, and thats a world I don't want to live in.

If men weren't human-beings, and they wouldn't misuse, again, a thing like polygamy no problem. But i've, only recently, heard of french people, where many just convert to islam to be able to legaly bang/marry and abuse (in all ways possible) women. I think i feel like red on this one.
I know a person, an egyptian, for whom polygamy works perfectly well. He lives the islamic ideal of "more wifes - do not treat any one worse or better than the other one".
The women like each other and their common husband, he loves his wifes - it's just darn expensive he said ;P , but other than that it works.

Conclusio:

For those rare noble men, yeah why not, for everything-misusing bastards, nah.

Well for abusing bastards it doesn't really matter if he has 1 or 10 wives. If he only has one wife he'll probably abuse other women anyway...

true, but my statement was ment for: "If you were to pass a law..."

Yeah you're right. Well, who needs laws? Noone seems to respect them anyway...

''Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.''

- Plato

so true Have you read his "Laws" ? Just out of plain curiosity, since they are one helluva volume

Although polygamy is practiced in many cultures, I think the motivations of many have changed in this modern world.

Personally, it doesn't make sense - one female is born for every one male, so what's going to happen? Are people going to just mill around and die off? I don't think so while Mr. Rich has 15 wives.

That would work Powerslide... if there were as many males as females... but the most recent people survey shows that there are almost 1.2 times the amount of girls than boys...

I'd hardly say the ratio blows my mind.
