Homosexuality

[lolbox]

Would you say that polyandry is 'the abuse of men'?

Btw, doesn't that mean the government should search for and ban sex between more than 2 parties.

I don't see how your second point relates to your first

Marrying multiple men or being in a sexual relationship with many men is similar. Although Australia disallow polygamy and polyandry, several married men and women have sexual relationships with other parties(cheat on their partners). So what's the big deal about polygamy and polyandry? Just the marriage certificate?

Why don't we cancel the whole idea of marriage? What's the point of commitment?

Why are you implying that sex = marriage?

[Bohr]

marriage = commitment, what's wrong with being commited to more than one person?

lol thats a little shortsighted; just because some dishonour their commitment and cheat on their partner doesn't mean the whole prospect of marriage should be scrapped. There may be many mitigating circumstances which resulted in them cheating.

Why do some priests molest children when it is against the morals their religion is supposed to provide? What's the point of religion if some of these preists act this way?
key word = 'some'

My point is its stupid to question some things based on the acts of a few individuals.

Ask the government. They make the legislation.

No, which is why kids should be taken away from abusive parents, whatever the sexuality.

In that case, why make a generalist statement encompassing all homosexuals rather than "abusive homosexuals"? (in fact, why even mention their sexuality then? Abusive is abusive is abusive, regardless of whether you're gay, straight, bi, transgender, black, white, yellow etc.)

Because there are people (I am NOT one of them) who say that any child raised by homosexual parents is likely to be adversely affected. I was just comparing that claim to the idea that incest results in screwed up children.

Yes but society is changing and things that aren't accepted in the present have been accepted in the future.

Incest screws up the kids' health.

Exactly.

When I think of an ideal society in the future, it is one that has the greatest standards of living for every individual.
Greatest standards of living equates to greatest personal freedoms without harming others.
With this in mind, polyandry and polygamy, when consensual, should be legal.
In addition, if science progresses enough to eliminate the birth defects associated with incest, then it should also be legal, no matter how disgusting we might find it.

And without wishing to be too controversial (lol who am I kidding) some would say that allowing homosexuals to raise kids also screws them up for life...

I agree. But this is because of society's inability to accept such families. They will get the shit kicked out of them in school.

If a 14 year old kid had lesbian parents, he'd be the most popular guy at school.
