Just a weird question

I had a really outragous conversation with a couple of friends the other night about polgamy. We were talking about the pros of it and came up with all the reasons why polgamy might actually be a good idea. The obvious pros were dividing chores, slumber parties, passing of your husband to someone else when you need a break, living with your best friends etc...
No -I'm not pro-polgamy and personally I'd be too jealous to live that type of lifestyle but I do think it should be decriminalized for those over 18. What do you think? Make it legal? Decriminalize? Interested in your thoughts -just for fun.

Free conty or its supposed to be as long as your 18. You can live with as many as you want if your not married. Whats the difference. Personally I can't keep one. What are the odds of me keeping more?

I don't think the government should have any say in marriage whatsoever. If a man wants to have five wives and they all consent to it, fine. If a woman wants to have five husbands and they all consent to it, whatever. What's it to me? It's none of my business what other grown adults are doing in their own homes, as long as they're not harming others.

do you know how many more fights and stuff this would cause if it were legal?

Nope!

Why? If it's for consenting adults over 18 why should it be criminal?

the government is just trying to keep the world as normal as possible.

bre1217 - Fighting and disagreements occur in all relationships, no matter how many people are involved. Whose business is it if another couple (or in a case such as polygamy, group) is having a fight? If you wanted to make relationships illegal based on the prospect of people fighting with each other, NO ONE would be able to marry.

It was a fad in Bibical times, but to day nope I am not for it. There is reason why we are called to have one wife. Maybe it could be the judge got tired of the cat fights among the women, lol.

The whole idea of marriage is dumb, I think...it should not be a legal thing at all.

But criminalization for something that happens between two (or three....or four...or five....or whatever) consenting adults? This is 2007...why?

marriage should be illegal??? now that would really be dumb!

I figure if someone can make it work -good for you. I can hardly manage a relationship with one man but that's my personality. Decriminalizing it however isn't the same as considering it an actual marriage in the eyes of the government
