Why are you hesitant to express your views on polygamy? This thread is about polygamy.
Shouldn't you be willing to explain and defend your view?
Are you pro-polygamy or not?

You'd say it right now, I bet.
Do you think homosexual marriage will lead to polygamy? Yes or no?
Why do you keep constructing strawmen?

It's not a straw man, it's a question. Do you support polygamy?
Then you agree with the following:

[MENTION=18336]MrDante[/MENTION], why aren't you willing to say that same sex marriage will never lead to polygamy?

Heck, why aren't you even willing to say that you're against polygamy?

Let's face it....one wrong doing opens the door to more wrong doings. Once you've tasted the forbidden fruit, the lure to take the next bite grows stronger.
Polygamy is nothing more than adultery times 2 or 3 or more.....

Who's to say it's wrong when same sex isn't wrong? :chew:

Of course - that's what opponents of same-sex marriage have said all along. But its supporters adamantly denied the slippery slope.
Which is why it's especially strange that a same-sex marriage supporter is unwilling to say that same-sex marriage will never lead to polygamy.
He even said, "Why would I say something so stupid?"
Apparently it's "stupid" to say that same-sex marriage will not lead to polygamy.
I agree!
So I guess he's acknowledged the link!

Who's to say what's wrong when society sez killing babies isn't wrong? :idunno:
I'm also willing to say that SSM won't lead to exploding penguins.
Apparently lying is not something you consider wrong

So then in my OP, when I wrote, " 'Same sex marriage will never lead to polygamy,' they said." I was right.

Mr. Dante, do you support polygamy or not? Should it be legalized?
Why are you afraid to express your opinion on the matter?

I never said it. In fact, I think and thought and wrote it would probably be the next consideration. What I said was that it cannot and will not lead to acceptable pedophilia. And it won't.
Yeah, that's true. It is nonsense. Polygamy, if it arrives here, won't be because of gay marriage any more than gay marriage was the result of a slipper slope caused by striking anti-miscegenation laws. There's no causal linkage, only the appearance of linkage because of the common topic.

Sure there is. The re-definition of marriage from "one man, one woman," to "whoever loves each other," totally allows for polygamy.
No more true than suggesting what allowed for the consideration of gay marriage was redefinition of marriage from "one man of the same race to one woman of the same race" to include race mixing.
What actually happens is that a preclusion is challenged on its Constitutional face and it fails or passes muster. The rest is timing. Gays had other legal hurdles to fight before they got to a point where the larger question could be raised. If you wanted to cobble a slope it would be there.
So, ultimately, it doesn't take gay marriage to make polygamy possible. It only takes the ability to ask, "Why should X be barred from contracting?" and the absence of a rebuttal to it on Constitutional grounds.

Why was marriage limited to one man and one woman before?
