This will never gain traction except in Utah and New Mecca, NY (highrise city of the future - to be built over ground zero;-)).

There is no sane man who could bear more than one woman.

Polygamy is one wife too many. Monogamy is the same thing.

I forget who said that.

It is a slap in the face to women and any man who likes this idea deserves to pay out his behind for eternity.

Can’t be...Islam allows 4 wives but not more. This must be an attack on Islam and Christianity at the same time.

Are you of the female wife persuasion or the male wife persuasion? One has to ask the question these days. ;-)

Most assuredly the female “wife” persuasion. I’ve got one or two in mind but they had better be watching their P’s and Q’s with me I tell ya.

You can't beat nature! I had a friend with four daughters as they became teenagers he found more reasons to be at of the house at certain times.

I saw an ad for it. Has this country gone bonkers? Why would anyone watch that show? What happened to the other one with all the wives?

I have been saying this for most of a decade and been told I was crazy, even by other freepers. My gay and polygamous college professor said back in 2001 that after gay marriage the next fight would be polygamy.

And don’t kid yourself, if it becomes legal the LDS church will reinstate it. They only gave it up for statehood (1890 ‘manifesto’ which is not given as a command or revelation) and even then continued to practice quietly until the 1930’s.

Even in my ward (Mormon congregation) in California in the 1980’s we had a woman who was a child polygamous bride from the mainline LDS church.

I’m sorry but polygamy is no laughing matter. My husband offers pro-bono legal work and I counsel women who have been in polygamous relationships and escaped (their word). There is no equality, and a lot of abuse (sexual and otherwise).

Do some research.
