    Default Polyamorous/polygamist relationships: good or bad? Why?

    Is polyamority (sic prolly) or polygamy between consenting adults wrong?

    It's illegal here in the states, but should it be? Why?

    I don't see how it's any of the state's business what consenting adults do in the bedroom.*

    So no.

    *for obvious health reasons, this does not include incest. You hear that, royals?

    I must agree with the majority here. I see no reason why it shouldn't be legal.

    Each to his own, really, so long as no other lines are crossed, ie consent, freedom of choice, age and consanguinity limits, property and inheritance rights properly defined etc etc

    AFAIK all the recent "polygamy" issues have really been about one of those other facets.

    But it's all one big can of worms: govt vs individual, govt vs religious groups, religious vs secular. Should one religious group have a privileged position based on statements by their prophets? Should the dominant religion's morality be imposed on all? State-church separation, and freedom of religion all have a role too, so who's got the right to say "my way is the only way"? No-one, IMHO

    I don't care - this isn't one of those laws that bothers me.

    As with almost anything to do with sex between consenting adults, don't give a damn, as long as it's done safely.

    Is this poll just for Western society, or the world in general?

    Good for whom?


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Why do polygamist always go for underaged kids? I guess because they are the only ones that will say 'yes'
