(Yahoo) First member of Texas polygamist sect tried and convicted of statutory rape. Sentencing has been delayed as the court tries to come up with a worse punishment than having nine wives
Having 10? Maybe they should sentence him to get married again.
Seriously though, you have to respect the mojo of a guy who can be married and banging 9 chicks at once and still not have the house burn down or his tires slashed. I'm sure it's all done through fear of the Jesus being held over their head, though.
BunkoSquad:This is what happens when you allow gay marriage.
I don't think he should have been convicted, and I also don't think he should have been charged with bigamy. The girl was "of age" in some states, which means this conviction is based on an arbitrary standard that doesn't apply equally across the nation.
And who farking cares if you marry more than one person?
iollow:As wacky as these sects are, I don't see how the argument for multi-marriage is any different than the argument for gay marriage.
The problem with polygamy-for-Jesus (as opposed to polygamy-because-you're-an-idiot) is that it usually involves sexual coercion, often against minors.

Bet you a nickel the marriage was also arranged without the girls consent, making it a case of rape rape instead of joke (statutory) rape.
belowner:You can clearly define rights within a polygamous marriage.
And yet no one's even attempted to do so.
Haters are just bigoted.
Interestingly, most, if not all, of the people who are pro-gay marriage neither hate nor are even intolerant of polygamy. Instead, we just say that you have to figure out the rights first, because the several centuries of common law building up default provisions in two-person marriages wouldn't be applicable to polygamy, so you're starting from scratch. But nice try, jackoff.
Remember there wouldn't have been a Texas had there been a back door to the Alamo
I imagine that if Perry gets reelected it won't be long after that. He would probably do something so monumentally stupid that we would be forced to have our own tag. Something like executing an innocent man and then screwing up the coverup. But we still wouldn't be as crazy as Florida. California should have its own tag too.
I don't get the second part of your comment. Why would Texas not exist if there was a back door to the Alamo?

The same people who say that gays being allowed to marry somehow destroys the sanctity of marriage. At least I should think they would be upset about it.

Marriage between two invididuals can clearly define legal rights while marriage between many is confusing and threadjacking.
