Somerville, Mass to recognize polyamorous partnerships

[State of Turelisa]

Marriage is and should be a union between a man and a woman bound by vows taken before God to love and honour each other. I don't want to debate about it with you angry LGBT supporting people. I've made my point and there's no point or argument which I've not heard before.

You made a statement, not a point and indicated you do not wish to debate on a debate forum.

Well,10 points from your side.

For discussion and debate about anything.

Why are you here if you don't want to debate or discuss your points?

It's his prerogative. I'd let it go.

[Lavan Tiri]

Are there really 10+ pages of people arguing about this?

It has no effect on your life unless you or someone important who just happens to live in Somerville, Massachusetts is polyamorous! It's not "decaying society" or whatever the fuck, as long as everyone involved is a consenting member of the same age group it's not hurting anyone--what's the deal?

[Grenartia]

Polygamy is very stressful and damaging for all parties involved, including children.

Mormon or Muslim polygamy, or actual polyamory?

As someone who's been in actual poly relationships, its no more "stressful" or "damaging" than a mono relationship.

We’re all humans, but humans should only have one lover.

Why?

Then why'd you say that on a debate forum?

But, Lavan. THE MUSLIMS AND MORMONS TREATED THEIR WOMEN LIKE PROPERTY!!!!eleven1

Thank you for admitting that your argument has no leg to stand on if you don't want us debating it. As such we're free to dismiss it entirely.

While you are not going to answer.... I wonder.. where does it say that ?
After all, the Bible tells us it was first Adam with God, then Adam with all the animals and then Adam and Eve (or Lilith first if you believe that) and then probably Adam with his children. And later on we learn of many, many other arrangements that God approves, like fucking your slave (Hagar).

Superb news.

BTW, arguments that involve "but it will destroy society" were said over LGBT marriages, women's rights, giving women the vote, giving the working class the vote, freeing slaves etc.
So that argument has no leg to stand on.

"My nutritionist said I need to stop eating 45 butterdogs a day. Well, he's a doctor - You know who else was a doctor? Josef Mengele. Therefore, I should keep eating my 45 butterdogs per day."

A guilt by association fallacy occurs when someone connects an opponent to a demonized group of people or to a bad person in order to discredit his or her argument. The idea is that the person is “guilty” by simply being similar to this “bad” group and, therefore, should not be listened to about anything.

So what is the evidence that recognising polyamorous relationships will actually destroy society then?

the fallacy fallacy
You presumed that because a claim has been poorly argued, or a fallacy has been made, that the claim itself must be wrong.

Also, a healthy dose of Godwin's Law.

Ah yes, because everything should all revolve around a religion not everyone follows.

do u ever get tired of doing this?

What, asking for evidence that a thing is bad rather than just accepting that it is bad because someone on the internet said so?

yes - particularly when evidence has already been presented and when you haven't presented counterevidence

And where was it presented?

i literally presented it in response to YOU and then you responded with an irrelevant article that did not counter the actual point

Your evidence was, as the same the last time we did this, about polygamy, not polyamory. Try again.

the difference between polygamy and polyamory is paperwork.

Also vastly different social/cultural/political conditions but let's ignore that in favor of pretending it's impossible for more than 2 people can have a loving, consensual relationship.

So I did present counter evidence and you just stuck your fingers in your ears and screamed because you didn't like it.

Yeah, there’s also a difference of about two letters.
