Castle's rant on CA prop 8. I now pronounce you nothing.

<< < (6/6)

Ursus:

--- Quote from: "try another castle" ---I just find it ironic that this whole thing was spearheaded by a demographic who has the most fucked up marriage customs, ever. According to them, it's okay to be married to twelve people at once and fuck your daughters to "initiate them into womanhood."

They say they condemn that stuff now, which explains perfectly why there are so many of them who still do it.

Pardon my ignorance, but when exactly did they start condemning this? I know that they have, but I ask...since every single Mormon woman I've ever physically met has lots of sisters who do not look anything at all like her (i.e., probably from different mothers). Disclosure: I haven't met all that many, but the probable differing genetics has been most pronounced in each case.

Just curious as to how much of this stuff continues to this day in certain communities (even seemingly mainstream ones), and is tacitly overlooked.

dishdutyfugitive:
It's tolerated in Utah. I remember driving around and a local saltlakian pointed out the compounds as we drove by them. They're not on every block but they are alive an well.

The state only cracks down on them when the conditions get bad and the state can end up with a black eye for not dealing with it.

It's not really the polygamist compounds we should worry about. The concern is  the mainstream mormons with lots of cash that lobby the shit out of their agenda.

try another castle:
I personally don't have an issue with polygamy. However, I do have an issue with

1. fucking children
2. keeping your spouse locked up in the house to the point where she is afraid to go out into the real world
3. Hypocrisy
4. jesus (that hippie cunthole)
