Obviously such marriages pose big challenge to our legal and tax systems. But if there was a way to work around that why shouldn't consenting adults be able to get married in a polygynous and polyandrous relationships? Say there are two men and a woman and they all love each other and are content to play tag team for the rest of their lives, or there is a man that can make two women happy and they are all happily in love. If they want to validate their relationship in whatever way they seek, I think they should be able to do that as long as they are all consenting adults. What say you?

unencumbered. I am leaning toward relinquishing everything I own-just letting it all go-except for the very basics that I could take as carry-on on a plane and nothing more. I am terrified of taking this leap, but I feel so compelled to free myself. I'd appreciate hearing what your own experiences have been as I am on the brink of doing this by year's end. What are tyour thoughts...oh, and don't say "put it in storage or leave it with family"-both of those are NOT options.

I got into an argument with my roomate and he said that 97,000 dollars was not that much these days. I told him that 99.9% of the world does not make 97,000 a year and he did not believe me. I tried to research this and cannot find proof. Does anyone know where I can find this info? thank you guys...

Continued to try to rape a 4 year old even with her parents trying to pull him off, after being released from prison for molesting a 7 yr old hours before.

What is wrong w/ people? And dont tell me its a mental disease because even the mentally handicapped kids i went to school with knew the difference between babies and older kids. How do people do these things? I dont even have kids and it makes me want to do forced-home-vasectomies.

I was watching this movie " The Quiet" with Elisha Cuthbert in it.
Anyway she was playing a girl who was being molested by her father, and her character acted like she didn't mind sometimes.
I got so hard thinking about her screwing her old man.
I couldn't help it, am I normal?

Men value beauty, but more in women that in themselves. Women value beauty, but more in themselves than in other women. Men are always perceiving things differently from women, yet we are the same specie. Why and how?

When I went in I told them that I was sure that we all have a little bit of crazy in us but that I was there because of my hearing loss and refused to answer personal questions that didn't have to do with my hearing loss and inability to do certain jobs.

What planet did you kids grow up on? I have never heard so much whining & crying & TEMPER TANTRUMS outside of a nursery school. Just wait - you will see even more unfairness; it's positively correlated with LIFE EXPERIENCE.

Do you ever wonder if someone is lying to you, but you cant be sure, and afraid to ask them because you would feel stupid, but the thing they are lying about is killing you inside?
I am having a serious problem, and I really dont know how to resolve it.

This is mainly a follow-up question to the one below. Do you think there's a difference in reaction between men and women when their spouses cheat? Who do you think fears cheating more? men or women?

Personally, I don't see it as a gender thing. I think most people would be pissed if their partner cheated on them.

Like practices in China, where they can only have one child, there is a population problem. Humanity is growing at a frightening rate. What are your opinions? Please answer in essay form if possible.

Let me get this straight....

Child support is for the CHILD
Abortion is for the WOMAN

So what is for the man?

Women argue that forcing men to pay child support is in the best interest of the CHILD. So I guess abortion is also in the best interest of the child too.. right?

I just think that if WOMEN get to have abortions.. MEN should have the OPTION of child support. Meaning we should have the right to NOT pay it.

Again:

Child support is for the CHILD
Abortion is for the WOMAN

So what is for the man?

ABC-News article "Hillary Clinton Calls for Investigation Into Gang-Rape Allegations" which involves American employer, KBR, then a subsidiary of Halliburton.
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=3989078&page=1

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., is calling for a formal government investigation into allegations that a young female American contractor was gang-raped in Iraq and then held incommunicado in a large shipping container by her American employer, KBR, then a subsidiary of Halliburton.

"These claims must be taken seriously and the U.S. government must act immediately to investigate Ms. Jones' claims," Sen. Clinton wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Attorney General Michael Mukasey.

As the Blotter on ABCNews.com reported this week, Jamie Leigh Jones says that after she'd been raped by multiple assailants in her room at a KBR camp in the Green Zone in the summer of 2005. It's not a popular case to act on.

This is not to say that men shouldn't be allowed to become gynecologists, or that other women are stupid for letting men work on them down there. This is only to say that an individual feminist would feel more comfortable being examined by a female gynecologist. Is it wrong?
