I never said a word about Poligamy in my post. but there is also a thread about Britain giving extra tax breaks to multi wife families now that you mention it.(which I disagree on because why should the tax payers have to pay for their tax breaks? They chose to have multiple wives)

THAT is different. In the US you actually get penalized for being married. (The rules were written when women earned substantially less, so the "extra" ammounts that are included in the tax and benefit brackets are lower than what they would be for two single people living together).

You have multiple wives? Fine, you pay the same taxes. No "breaks" for that. You have problems? You have two wives, only one "needs" to stay home. Giving additional breaks for this is, akin to what I object to, pandering and aiding at the expense of others.

FYI...I am against Poligamy because a lot of them prey on young girls before they have even hit puberty. Now you are mixing arguments. Keep them seperate. You cannot argue against poligamy for its propensity, in other nations, for almost pedophilial leanings. Treat them as seperate entities or your argument will get mashed.

If a man wants to have 5 wives and the women agree, fine, but once children get involved, I'm sorry that's disgusting. That is where the line is drawn, and THAT is where you should object to it. Does this new law allow men to marry 12 year olds? If it does, voice your concern over that and do not call it Poligamy. Call it what it is.

Have you ever watched documentaries on escapees of their compounds? Women have sat and spoke of the treatment and wrong doings that went on when they were there. I have and it is sick. Yes, but again, you are mixing things. Noone said that they would allow these other thnigs to happen, and no it is not "just a matter of time" before it happens. Again, that is getting paranoid. That is grouping all the attrocities you have seen onto one particular covenent and then applying it to a religion/group. Keep them seperate or you will just end up spewing hate indeterminately at a whole slew of people, most of which havnig little or nothing to do with what you are so ardently opposing.
