airkid 0 #26 July 9, 2007 ummm ok.... i don't think that this is anywhere close to correct because in the middle east homosexual tendencies are also widely accepted and even expected.... so i think that their lack of putang plays that much of a role because whenever they wanna get their rocks off they usually just grab a nephew or even a friend.....

jakee 1,596 #28 July 9, 2007 Quote Quote Hmm. Christianity (specifically Mormonism) tolerates polygyny as well; ______________________________ I thought, the Church of Latter Day Saints abolished polygamy a long time ago and that only off-shoot 'pseudo' Mormons recognize polygamy? Chuck Hmm, indeed. The 'pseudo' mormons that actually follow what Joseph Smith taught?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,119 #31 July 9, 2007 >That's actually not a stretch. The Koran specifically allows it. Deuteronomy 21: If a man has two wives, one loved and the other unloved, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the unloved, and if the firstborn son is of her who is unloved, then it shall be, on the day he bequeaths his possessions to his sons, that he must not bestow firstborn status on the son of the loved wife in preference to the son of the unloved, the true firstborn. But he shall acknowledge the son of the unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. Matthew 25: Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. nd the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

kelpdiver 2 #32 July 9, 2007 QuoteThat's according to a Mormon friend of mine. Groups like Jeff's, are not recognised in The Mormon church no, but it's not like they don't exist, nor was it not a part of the LDS Church until it became necessary to negotiation to get Utah admitted. China has perhaps a hundred million men who will either be gay or celibate due to female infanticide since the 1 child policy was enacted. Should we be expecting suicide bombers there too?

Shotgun 1 #35 July 9, 2007 QuoteStory here: That's an interesting article, when read in it's entirety (rather than reading only the part that makes it appear to have an anti-Muslim agenda). QuoteAcross all societies, polygyny makes men violent . . . Hmm, there is lots of violence in America. Perhaps it is also caused by men who can't get laid, which there are plenty of here, despite the fact that polygyny is not generally tolerated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #37 July 9, 2007 QuoteSo if girls were to put out a bit more, we'd have less violence? Well, if that article is correct, then yes. But it's not just a matter of putting out more, it's a matter of putting out to everyone, including those men who would otherwise be "reproductive losers." I thought it was interesting that they claimed that strict monogamy would virtually guarantee a mate for everyone. I guess that would be true if it was legally enforced, and everyone was legally required to have a partner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
