Really? The SAME argument? How would you do that when it's totally different.

Where on earth did you get that I wanted to impost my views on others? I said that polygamists just needed to make a good legal case. Just like proponents of same-sex marriage have. I just pointed out that polygamy is far more complex.

The "problem" is that you clearly have reading comprehension difficulties.

The last 'gay' marriage? About 2 seconds ago. (Is that the question you actually meant to ask?)

How? In a legal sense.

I agree. As long as they are not infringing on the rights of others.

Not really.

And the rest really don't make sense as arguments against gay marriage.
I doubt the poster even read the post before responding to it, let alone thought about what they wrote.

If you care to know, the worse domestic violence occurs between gay mans. The level of brutality is beyond your wild imagination.
Your arguments have been shown to be rather flawed. But you seem to have a wild imagination.

It was rather apt. Same-sex marriage and plural marriage have very little in common.

Why?

And why is polygamy "less objectionable" to you?

Don't worry, I can already guess the answer. You're a male right?

Resolved easily?

Please show us some EASY examples of resolution to any of the foregoing.

He wouldn't be able to prove that since it's obviously not true. He appears to have shallow knowledge about what he is talking about.
