Anyone who thinks they want more than one spouse should be institutionalized.
Not too long ago, people were saying that about people who wanted to bone people of the same gender ... Guess liberalism and being enlightened is, in fact, relative to the time period...
WTF?! How is this in any way analogous? Two guys in some other state getting married doesn't affect me at all and in some ways has good legal and contractual benefits. Three people getting married creates all kinds of legal and contractual issues.

If you ever get and stay married for an extended period of time, then I may consider your opinion.
What this poster said x10.
God No, anyone who believes this, and wants more than one wife, as previously mentioned, should be institutionalized. I thought liberalism opposed the oppression of women, and all the complications that come with it, but I guess for people it's just much FREEEDOM. Which is the most annoying, not to mention dumb argument.
Yeah most American men can't properly take care of one wife and a couple of kids. If done properly the thought of taking care of one wife and two kids should send your blood pressure into the stratosphere.
If it's completely consensual (and I'm talking both polyandry and polygyny), I honestly don't care. The idea that "normal" relationships can be monogamous only is without a basis.
That being said, I wouldn't be interested in polygamy myself (I'm not interested in marriage at all).
Polygamy in the west isn't normal. For all the downsides what purpose would it serve? Most wives are underutilized as it is. The average married couple has less than 2 children. It's like we tell five year olds, use what you have first and if you want seconds come back and we will talk about it.
