Over in the parts of the middle east, religion and government support polygamy. What seems immoral for us is moral and correct to them. I'm sure the guys over there are not happy having educated women, who can drive, not have to cover their faces and can think. And we encourage educating women in Iraq and Afghanistan. The next thing you know, we'll mess up the polygamy thing for them and they'll want to blow things up.
I think one wife is enough trouble. I don't need the government to have a law against polygamy. I'd stop at one even if the law allowed more.
I had heard a few years ago in Iran that they raised the legal age for women to marry from 9 to 12 years old. Now that is still way to young.
You do know that we have legal brothels here in the USA in Nevada. I can't see one run by a family. I highly doubt that the workers there let their family and friends know what they do for a living, so a family brothel is probably a little too wierd.
Being from a good Irish family, I have over 60 cousins on my dad's side of the family. With so many cousins, well, ..., one of my cousins is a lesbian. I also had a friend in high school and college who was in the closet and claimed to have a "girlfriend" that I had never met. Well it turns out I met him years later, and the "girlfriend" was really a "boyfriend". So I know a couple of gay people. I don't really care that they are gay and have not changed my opinion of who they are just because I found out about them after knowing them for many years.
