> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by The Ryan \* > \*\*I don’t understand why this sort of bigotry against polygamy is so common and accepted. If the OP had cited an example of same sex rape, and implied that this was an inherent property of being homosexual, implied that more vigorous prosecution of homosexuality would help solve the problem, and advocated government confiscation of land and property from homosexuals, he’d immediately be taken to the Pit, if not banned. Why is this sort of prejudice accepted when it’s against polygamists? \*\* I guess the homosexuals were guilty of “committing homosexuality”. Just like the subjects of the OP are accused of “committing pedophilia” :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by andros \* > \*\*What the fuck are you on about, **The Ryan**? You see folks bashing on polygamy _per se_ in this thread? 'Cos I don’t. \*\* To start with, there’s the thread title. It includes the word “polygamy”, but not “pedophilia”. Doesn’t that implies that pedophilia is a side issue, and polygamy is the real evil? Then there’s “There are laws allowing police agencies to confiscate land and property of drug offenders; we should immediately pass laws allowing police confiscation of land and property of polygamists.” Not “we should consicate land and property of pedophiles” but “we should consicate land and property of polygamists”. I guess I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to such statements as “We should immediately cut off all public assistance to these groups.” and “I can’t believe we allow this in the United States.” Ludovic: I’m afraid I don’t get your point. ---

Ah, gotcha. You were just talking about the OP. Sure, the OP is bashing polygamy. And he’s had his ass handed to him. Doesn’t look to me like it’s been condoned or supported in this thread. ---

“Doesn’t look to me like it’s been condoned or supported in this thread.” Er, the _bashing_ isn’t being condoned or supported, that is. The anti-polygamy bigotry, as you put it. ---
