| lolita said: I have no issues with gay marriage and prostitution being legal because in the latter's case, being illegal doesn't make it happen any less. I don't like prostitution at all, since I believe to be one of the most degrading things to sell oneself but I do understand that by making it legal, it is better for those women, since it is regulated and there's lesser risks. That's why I'm for making it legal. Polygamy I'm not so sure... I mean it is often abused of and people being in sects are basically brainwashing young girls into it. It's an offense and crime to humanity. This is mainly why I'm iffy about it. There are personal reasons as well... I have a hard time understanding how a woman would want to "share their husbands with someone else. It is a valid reason but imo, it wouldn't be a concern to me, if I were to vote for or against it as it's personal issues against it rather than going with morals, laws and human protection/rights. Even though I don't understand it, I guess it could happen in a few cases that they genuinely all love each other. *Shrugs* |
Pretty much. Its the last one on the list that should be legalized because it has been abused the most so far, IMO.
If it was legalized, you should have to be 18 under all circumstances to enter into a polygamous marriage.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
