Should polygamy be legal?

[2Cool]

Actually the probability of getting a girl is about 2-5% larger, and women get puberty much earlier than man. This is not a coincidence.

No. It's pretty much 50/50. If there's a variation it's in the order of +- 1-2% and could be due to other factors. In some countries it favors more boys, in others more girls. But mathematically speaking it's 50/50.

I voted yes, as long as the the wife has a veto on it.
Some people have stranger lifestyles and it makes no problems, so I don't see the harm here.

The probability of getting a boy is higher by 2% or so. The number of men is lower due to other factors (more men dying). Curiosity; men are also much more susceptible to genetic mutations due to having only one X chromosome. Men are the genetic playground for mutations.

Yes better than legalizing homosexuality.

In a Patriarchal society I would vote no, being we live in a soft matriarchy of a civilisation I vote, Yes.

Polygamy is a great solution for the mudsharking whores.
And Polyandry for the Asian-lovers.

[Anarch]

Yes. I don't see why the choice of people and their own sexual preferences should be up to anyone but the individuals themselves to choose over. The state should not have any say and personal choises like these should not be prohibited by law. Besides, I dislike that Christian/religious morality has any say in society, especially when it affects non-religious people. If people don't like something they can abstain from it, but they don't need to force others to behave in the same way.

Because a large (and inevitably, expanding) population of sexually deprived single men is a recipie for mass violence and social instability. The Islamic world is proof enough, and China will soon discover this. Better that inter-sexual bonding for the purpose of reproduction occur within a monogamous relationship. There are cases when individual opinion should have no bearing on social conduct - this is one of them.

I still say no. I can't imagine the results would be beneficial overall for society.

No, this will lead to men wanting too many women and would start taking cousins.

First the number of homos should be counted, in both men and women.
Then, if Gays exceed Lesbians, than it can be legalized.
