My above post is worded poorly. I meant that it's better to attempt to refute your own instead of assuming that you can refute your opponent's argument.
Yes, that's what I meant, I perhaps shouldn't of said it in such a long winded manner but I wanted to convey my desire to tackle any points that a member of the opposing viewpoint may make.
I don't think it's necessarily wrong. However, when women are forced into it in such groups as the FLDS, I have a huge problem with it. I watched Sister Wives this fall though, and I loved the show. I don't think if it's done in that way that there's any problem with it. Their children aren't pressured into it and in fact one daughter said that she never could, and her parents are fine with that.
Really? It's theorized that humans used to live in 'Promiscuous hordes' before the development of marriage or the nuclear family - that's not even mentioning any of the other animal species that work in polyamorous groups.
