I wasn't asking about how it works in other societies, I was asking how you thought it would work in the UK. Also if you would like to clarify the points raised regarding the situation I gave you.

The ingredients are already in place in my view. The freedom and libration. Please go back a few page and see other's contribution especially the one that asked why should there be a problem with this if gay marriage is allowed.

The scenario you gave is something i cant answer for now. I dont practise it so i would know.

Thats another thing we differ on. You don't appear to be playing devil's advocate you appear to be arguing one side and one side only.

Thats not what you said. You said if the dude was successful that the young woman would be given to him. Thats not her being in love, thats her being a prize..

That's precisely what am trying to do - play devil's advocate. But my arguement will appear one side as i have more people i have to get my point across to many who dont think it would work.

Gilly said:
Your first question there doesn't make sense. ..

Im trying to say i dont agree with giving woman away as a prize - No human should. If love is involve in a potential polygamous relationship, i wouldnt stop someone who wants to go into it from doing so.

We are able to say it is wrong here because it wouldn't suit our way of life. It wouldn't work here, and when the other places you mention become more civilised it won't work there either. BTW as you no doubt know I wasn't saying polygamy and suicide have anything to do with each other, I was saying that 'some Americans do it' wasn't the best reason to do something.

We havent tried yet and we dont know for sure that it would fit. Those places will only have it adapting to their development as they become "more civilised". So in other words it will be something that will be around for the long run.

I already have read through the thread, please stop telling other people to do that it gets very annoying when it's clear that people already have. I know you don't practise it as you have already stated. I was asking for your opinion on how it might work as it might encourage you to think on the topic from another point of view.

My bad. I though i exaplained myself as to why it might work already in the thread. Anyway here -

There is laws already allowing same sex marriage, why not polygamy?

If more than one people are in love and want to stay in a recognised form of togetherness why should the society dictate otherwise?

I said before that countries who allows polygamy have a lower divore rates.

It might help form a stronger foundation to a better society.

Man are animals and by such we have animal-instinct that are sometime suppresed...maybe this shouldnt be?

No we don't, we know that it wouldn't

We said the same about homosexuals 100years ago

And in answer before you were told there's many other factors involved, not least the point that countries that practice polygamy simply don't have divorce.

I dont agree with the answer/response. I can count several countries that allows polygamy and allows divorce.

Gilly said:
We did. Your point? Society has developed in an untold amount of ways since then and still polygamy is only practiced by hippies and religious nuts

My point is clear cut unless you dont wanna see it. If you see polygamy has something practice by hippies and religious nuts, am quite sure they view homosexuality (allowing it and even recognising the marriage) as an abuse of freedoom, social morals and something practice by infidels.
