I saw that a couple days ago. Wierd..........
Big Love is not Big Jake.
We've been watching this show since it came on....it's weird, it's kinda like watching a train wreck. My wife says that I'd love to have 3 wives for the....er, benefits. But I think I put up with enough crap from just her! Trust me, one wife is all I can handle.
I'm covering my eyes!
Bring back Deadwood......
And thus we speed down yet another avenue of depravity. We are a sick society. The HBO "documentary" exploring man-boy love simply cannot be far behind.
"This is making all of America say 'Why is there a law against polygamy?' " said a 55-year-old woman
No, it isn't. You might wish it was but it isn't. It's just another attempt from HBO to undermine the very core of American and human existence and disguise it as an "HBO Original". This is ALL about pro-gay marriage and warming Americans to the idea of "non-traditional" families being just like everone else. More liberal propoganda with an anti-family agenda disguised as "entertainment".
Sickening.
Swingen!
man-boy love...did you see the HBO series about the men's prison?
Its on past my bed time.
Same here. I can barely handle one wife
Because it is a deviant lifestyle that is detrimental to society. Because it is a lifestyle choice that leads to the exploitation of women. Because it distributes the allotment of time and resources of the single father to the many offspring and leaves them often poorer and with less resources than their counterparts in traditional two parent relationships (which society has recognized is the ideal).
Ditto!
What I don't understand is why isn't about women with more than one husband?
Makes a heck of a lot more sense to me.
Our stay in Salt Lake City amounted to only two days, and therefore we had no time to make the customary inquisition into the workings of polygamy and get up the usual statistics and deductions preparatory to calling the attention of the nation at large once more to the matter. I had the will to do it. With the gushing self-sufficiency of youth I was feverish to plunge in headlong and achieve a great reform here - until I saw the Mormon women. Then I was touched. My heart was wiser than my head. It warmed toward these poor, ungainly and pathetically "homely" creatures, and as I turned to hide the generous moisture in my eyes, I said, "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."
-- Mark Twain
