"No - the man that marries one of them has done an act of Christian charity which entitles him to the kindly applause of mankind, not their harsh censure - and the man that marries sixty of them has done a deed of open-handed generosity so sublime that the nations should stand uncovered in his presence and worship in silence." LOL!!! Know your cuts of meat, and know your English Lit!

Had the same conversation with my wife. 'Cept I brought it up, not her.
I was just...agog at the notion of living with 3 women. One makes me want to throw myself off a tall building sometimes.

How do you know?
Inversely, you could say only lesbian females would consider a polygamus situation.

Yes sir.
One of my grandfathers was married to my grandmother, my aunt and my great-grandmother (my grandmother's sister and her mother). YIKES!

I think I like your version better.
Either way, the modern day practitioners of polygamy are in no way related to the agricultural societies of ancient times.
I do agree it does seem to be a power play game more than an actual "family" issue.
To: longtermmemmory
You might have a different opinion if you were to see these polygamist here in Utah....they aren't exactly agricultural or ancient societies.

I watched part of it once. It was very depressing to me. Jealous and fighting wives, a man acting like a stump. Pretty much chaotic lives. I won't watch again, just not an uplifting show.
To: HamiltonJay
In my youth, we called it a "mercy f***" aka, date with a fat chick.
To: colorado tanker
Now that seems interesting. I could spend enough to keep four husbands busy paying the VISA.

Polygamy is STUPID! Depends what your goal is. If you'd like to ensure a large supply of disaffected young men who can be used as soldiers in wars of conquest, polygamy seems an ideal feature for social organization. A certain evil false prophet, depicted here with a bomb for a turban--

BTW: emoticons are held to violate the Islamic prohibition on images, so I guess I've got a fatwa against me now.

Yup, the tv version has some fairly cute wives. But that's fantasy, like the idea of a man that gets along with all 3 wives.
Like you could get all the wives to get along!!! I don't think so !!!!

If the Lord wanted man to have more than one wife, he would have made him with more than one..............{;>)

If you have a constant choice they still have to compete.
