    The Family and Medical Leave Act allows workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year to take care of loved ones or themselves
    Say person C in my example who has 5 partners,he could get up to 60 weeks off.

        Yeah nowhere in the law is anything of the sort even remotely implied.

        This is to say nothing of the fact that you need legitimate reasons to take the time off. If all 5 of your girlfriends are sick at once, you probably have some sort of STD.

          But it says nothing about it being open to more than one. Are you going to then assume that it covers polygamy?
          All it says is partners plural and loved ones, plural. If they don't restrict it, then people are going to form benefit rings.

          Christ, you're just trying to find problems with it where they don't exist.
          So I take it you accept that if my premise is true, that it doesn't restrict the number of qualified partners, then you believe this is a bad thing?

          This isn't polygamy. All you have to say is that so and so is my 'partner'. Polygamy actually requires marriage.

            How do you not want to wake up and kill yourself every morning, Ben?

            Seriously.

            Maybe your stupidity is a blessing for you. If you knew how stupid you were, like we all know, I'm sure you'd remedy the situation.

              Okay, just mentally replace polygamy with polyamory and use your goddamned brain.

              Oh my god no they are not going to form benefit rings. It's questionable whether requiring HOMOSEXUALS time off is actually within the powers enumerated by the law, there is no way any court would say that polygamists (or polyamorists, ****wad) would get those rights.

                Go back to sucking at physics. It's a lot funnier than sucking at law.

                  Oh my god no they are not going to form benefit rings.
                  If there's no law against it, what's stopping them from forming benefit rings?

                  And why wouldn't they? They have documentation to confirm their 'partnerships'. It doesn't appear that documentation is required. Maybe a signed sheet of paper? Gee, I don't think anyone's going to try to scam the system.

                    THERE IS A LAW AGAINST IT (specifically there is no law FOR it). The courts will absolutely NOT accept an interpretation of the law so broad it covers a relationship not recognized by any state at any time for anything except as a CRIME.

                      Ben strikes again! I knew it was coming...

                      I suppose this is an attempt to equate homosexual sodomy with the sin of polygamy. Ben is having a Rick Santorum moment.

                            What I love is this.

                            You have employees A B C D

                            Employee A has a partnership with BCD

                            Employee B has a partnership with ACD

                            Employee C has a partnership with ABD

                            Employee D has a partnership with ABC

                            So for 4 employees you are paying out 12 employee benefits.

                            B=(N-1!)*2
                            YES! Ben attempted to use math on the first page.

                            Sadly there's nothing in the article that says you get 12 weeks for each loved one. It says "up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year to take care of loved ones or themselves". Wrong as usual.

                            B = N

                              How is this poly anything?

                              It seems all you have to do is list someone as your 'partner'.

                              Dog, cat, they are all loved ones too, no?
