I wasn’t sure which sub-forum this belonged in, so feel free to move it. “Culture of Death” seemed to be at least semi-relevant to the topic!

Anyways, I try to not be shocked by things I read in the news, but sometimes I’m amazed. Take this article about multiple serious relationships for instance.

You may not need to read anymore than this…"

Philippides (a polyamorous woman) was even more frank. ‘We talk about jealousy openly. It is not a taboo word for us,’ she said. In fact, polys have a term, called 'compersion’. This is the opposite of jealousy and involves taking pleasure from the success of your partner’s other relationships. A hefty dose of compersion helps make polyamory work. That and a deft hand at scheduling so that no partner in a poly set-up feels unfairly treated.

I can see how that would work for many people. Not easily, mind you, as difficult as monygamy is, it would take a whole different perspective. Not a good perspective, do you concur?? Bad perspective, bad lifestyle. But I can see after reading the article how people are led to that lifestyle.
 
I am seriously sickened by what I see soming in the future. I just want to fall asleep for a hundred years until all this BS is over and done with.

What makes you think it will be better in 100 years? 😃
 
Uh, what was I gonna say…

Oh yeah… :cool: I don’t really have much to say.

What do you think, like, these people with “alternate lifestyles” if you want to use that term, they are trying to overcome a human failing, a cause of sin, (I’m referring to jealousy), and they end up going off in a totally different direction. There’s probably much more going on than merely that, but let’s take one aspect of it, what that article specifically points out.

Like, there’s clearly a good type of jealousy (like God is jealous for His glory and for His people), and a bad self-centered jealousy that wants to be able to call a person and their attention “mine”.

Which do you think it is that this “polyamorous” mindset is rebelling against, Generally speaking?
 
Those poor poor kids. What these selfish idiots don’t admit is that they’re either not getting something from their partner that they seek in other relationships, or they’re just egomaniacal jerks who think that they’re just so hot that several people should have to put up with them. I have seen only two cases of marriages opening up to polyamory. One of them was completely destroyed in months. The other was badly shaken. Polygamy and polyamory are just selfish and horrible to do to your partner(s). They completely reduce the dignity of the person you should be focusing on entirely. Anyway, what happens when you get your girlfriend pregnant? Does she just move into the spare bedroom next to you and the wife’s? Apocalypse now! :eek:

In a hundred years everyone is going to be dead from global warming followed by nuclear winter and then finished off by radioactive zombies, I don’t know what you are talking about.

Radioactive zombies I can handle. All they really need are good jobs, and since they can’t think for themselves really I would make myself their boss. We’d probably fabricate useful little things like forks and spoons. And since the future is so bleak, I probably be able to pass myself off as the inventor too!

Remeber, to be considered a genius you don’t have to be smart… you only have to be smarter than everyone else!

Yes, but there is that unsettling habit that zombies have of eating brains? :ehh: How do you keep your brain safe so that you can remain the genius in this culture?:hmmm:

Who tries to domesticate zombies? I’ll be the smart run running around with a shotgun and a sword, collecting survivors, and getting a boat to a uninhabited island, where we will populate soldiers for the eventual take back of the world.
 
Would zombies be polyamorous??

Do they even “multiply” or is it just assumed that since so many people would become zombies, that there won’t be a need for more zombies?

No man, zombies get pregnant and stuff. Zombies need love to! Didn’t you take Zombie 101 in college?

Naw, I took ballroom dancing and samurai sword-fighting as my “fun” electives (well, that’s 1/2 true ;))

At least one of those would come in handy in a zombie world!

That’s right, zombies are suckers for ballroom dancing. In fact there great at just about all dances. I saw a zombie challenge this guy to a breakdance competition, the zombie totally schooled the guy like it was nobodies business. It was pretty sick man.

Yeah, deep down it was Michael Jackson’s Thriller video that inspired me to get into the dancing!

Zombies got rhythm,it don’t matter if they’re black or white!!

It’s a common misconception, but those dancing zombies wern’t actors, they were actually dancing zombies.

We already have radioactive zombies!! We call them postal workers.

Hey now, I respect those postal workers, my mother had a very similar job at one point in her life, that was a damn hard job. Besides, they are not anything like radioactive zombies, trust me, you would know a radioactive zombie if you met one.
 
Notice how children aren’t mentioned in the article except for a casual reference at the beginning. With divorce and remarriage as well as child support, we already have defacto polyamory (polygyny and polyandrogeny). How long will it be before people demand parental rights for three or more.

Hi Gabriel,

What do you mean about demanding parental rights for 3 or more? Do you mean like 3 or 4 “parents” will be trying to organize when they all get to see the children? Yeah, I can see how that would be a reasonable conclusion from the multiple relationships.

We all have probably the same basic thoughts about children, the responsibility, and how great they are, so that’s unnecessary to bring up. But it would be interesting to see how children enter into the “polyamorous” equation, and what significance they have. No, perhaps interesting is the wrong word, I should say “disheartening.” It would be about as interesting as hitting my finger with my framing hammer!

Perhaps the same thing can be said about polyamorous relationships as many Saints have said about worldy Christians. They (we?) think we have quite enough love to go around, and need not sacrifice and focus it on one spouse, or God.
