Promoting civil rights in Utah

[KrazyHorse]

This is what happens when I've been drinking, been promoted, and had cute barmaids hit on me...

You guys are *******s, ****ing up my troll thread. **** you all.

[Hauldren Collider]

I'm certainly in favor of them; there's no reason to force women into the choice between a beta male like albie and a life of celibacy when they could be second or third wife to a successful alpha like myself...

You might bait Kidicious, but I'm not sure why you would want to do that. Ben is gone so no luck on that front.

[Hauldren Collider]

You guys just aren't any fun.

My problem with these plural marriages is they usually all end up on welfare forever. I generally support short term help for people who need it but the current system is becoming just too generous. A woman with three kids can get $630 per month in food stamps, $800 a month in housing assistance, $500 per month in cash aid, a free cell phone with 250 minutes per month, 2/3rds off utility bills, discounted internet access, free to extremely cheap medical care, free school lunches for the kids (including breakfast), WIC, and who knows what else. That's easily over $2000 per month and most of that never expires (though the cash aid only lasts for 2 years). Worse most of them have a boyfriend on the side who gives them money or helps them out so really they don't need so much.

I'm not saying welfare is a great lifestyle but it should just be enough to help out for a very short period of time instead of $20,000-$30,000 per year for 1-3 decades. Give them enough to make sure no one dies of starvation and anything more than s/he needs to get a job. It's just absurd.

Why shouldn't this be legal? Give me a solid argument. These people love each other. Who are you to deny them their inalienable right to have the government recognize it on a piece of paper?

Why should we change the laws to suit the whims of a loony religious cult? That sounds like a stupid idea. Explain how a widespread practice of men taking three or four wives doesn't make women subordinate to men.

Eh, if you really want a discussion...I don't think we should prosecute such marriages, but nor do I think they're very wise. I imagine they worked just fine in the old days when women were chattels and the husband made all decisions. Each new wife just adds another baby-producing nonentity to the chain. Nowadays women tend to want some semblance of equality or respect, unless they've been raised in an incredibly out-of-touch environment. That means each new wife is another new voice to be consulted and reconciled WRT decision-making. It doesn't sound very stable or functional.

For the same reasons you change the laws to suit the whims of another minority (gays), equal protection claims.

You're full of ****. You can't even recieve cash aid after 5 years, 800 dollars a month in housing assistance isn't much at all in SD (you get to live in the hood) and they are forced to take a job without pay after they recieve job training.
