More grist for the Islamofascists..geee..ya think maybe they do have a point after all?.. ( just kidding)

More grist for athiests, Muslims, Hindus and other Christians who see the disappearance of Christian values. This is pure MORAL RELATIVITY, called "tolerance" by the Dutch who see all this as good, tradition Dutch tolerance and freedom of expression--both VERY dear to them.
They are paying the price. It's too late for them to close the barn door. Horses have run away.
They've got what they wanted. Now they have to eat it. Poor Holland.

"Non-Indonesian Dutch" is a great term! NID

NID, I LIKE the sound of that....pithy, clear and P.C. and funny. :o) Very Dutch I think.

[A. Pole]

How to make a tagline out of it?

[Prodigal Son]

Interesting.

I'm not sure that polygamy will be the first problem that comes from legal queer marriage in this country.

I think their next step will be father/son, mother/daughter marriage.

What basis would their be to stop them if queer marriage is made legal?

They couldn't produce children so the recessive gene argument would go out the window.

Queer marriage has opened Pandora's box and if it isn't stopped soon I don't know where it will end.

Look, if the Dutch-Indonesians were doing the emigrating folks in the recipient states would have half a chance. After all, those guys believe in good, old-fashioned polygamy ~ with none of this funny stuff with the guys.

The problem is, if the Indo-European Dutch are emigrating, they are bringing their sick attitudes with them, and they will undoubtedly demand the rest of us accept their strange beliefs concerning marriage and family life.

It's time to re-instate the quota system and cut off the Dutch quota.

Well, when the menfolk finally figure out that what's good for the goose is good for the gander, I don't they'll be in such a rush to approve this.

I've polled a few guys. And while they all get a chuckle out of the prospect of polygamy, polyandry doesn't sit too well with them. Gee, wonder why? :)

[television is just wrong]

For what the 50's were, and they were better than a lot of other times in history, we all have to admit, that a two parent family with a father and mother is really the best it can be.

What is happening right now, is wrong. It is self fulfilling without regard to children and their well being. I shudder to think of what the future brings.

Legalized polygamy will drastically increase the Muslim population of Holland and any other country foolish enough to try it. Polygamy is the main reason women are virtual slaves in Muslim countries, and soon this slavery will extend to Europe. How many Muslims are in the Netherlands? How many bisexuals? The bisexuals will use polygamy as nothing more than recreational sex, while the Muslims, who already produce many children, will double their production of children. These children will mostly be dependent on a strained welfare system. Sooner or later this system will collapse and the Muslims will take over. Then they will have their Sharia and they will kill the homosexuals, bisexuals, Unitarians, Christians, anyone who can read, etc.

Because it's a logical impossibility for a household to have two heads?

The two brides really look similar in this picture.

"Admitedly, I have not read every word of this but wouldn't this eventually bring about the end of employers providing benefits for employees, and also an overburdening on the SS system?
How can these broad-minded employers that provide benefits to domestic partners, afford to add multiple partners? "

As in Maryland, the courts will simple order the benefits to be paid.

As the saying goes:

"He who lays down with the dogs, gets up with the fleas"

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

As in Maryland, the courts will simple order the benefits to be paid.

Pay benefits to multiple partners? Business can't afford it because if we're going to take this to it's ultimate conclusion, there will be no limit on the number of partners.

[stm]

Kind of like welfare and kids? Need more dough, have more kids.

It's so simple even a caveman could figure it out (Ok, so I stole if from the Geico commercial)

[gridlock]

Cruis'n for a Bruijn

This is not moral relativity, but TOTAL DEPRAVITY. The Unitarian Universalist Church is one sorry den of inequity.

This polygamy issue may be a gift.

Having Dutch immigrants is NO problem. There aren't enough of them to make ANY impact whatsoever, expecially in this country.

Lol. Most people hear them and assume that they are Germans. They don't know "van" from "von."
Most people see them and assume that they are Scandinavians if they are blond/blue-eyed and German if they aren't.
They WOULD bring expertise on cheese and land-from-sea/brackish-water reclamation.
Politically they would all be Greenpeacers or leftish Democrats. So that's the down side.

Bonus: they ARE all English speakers, good ones too.
Remember, the ones emigrating from Holland are the ones we would want anyway.....rejecting the garbage that's going on in their home country and all.

Hey, you're preaching to the choir.
I am reiterating what our Holy Father says about dens of inequity. :o)
