< ok look at the past two hundred years and you will see the correct shift once you see that come back and talk to me> 200 years ago, people were hardcore religious and anything other than a traditional "one man, one woman" marriage was completely unacceptable. Today, homosexual marriages are common as well as single parenting. There must be a far lower percentage of traditional marriages today than there were 200 years ago.

not more polygamy, maybe gay couples but polygamy used to be part of the mormon church but broke off about 100 years ago making polygamy less of an occurance. but thats beside the point polygamy is illeagal for a reason and thats a fact so colorado city is out of line as well as many other cominitys

Of course it's illegal, there's no question about that. But being illegal doesn't make it wrong. There are many stupid laws. You can't get support for something on legalities alone, you have to get people to believe in a cause. I think it's easier to get people behind the idea of "stop the abuse" than it is to rally support for "breakup families." If all we're ever concerned with is "it's illegal", then nothing will happen to correct the situation. Instead, if someone were to highlight to abuse and forced lifestyles of these residents, people would be more likely to want to do something about it.

when you are looking from the outside you see things without feeling. when you are a child you want to be loved and accepted and you will do anything to obtain that. I grew up in Colorado City and as a kid I remeber seeing the enemy (the outsiders) Judging laughing at our clothes Yelling PLIG PLIG and re-inforcing our Parents teachings that the outsiders are evil and mean us harm. that we are the chosen Godly people but we can not think or feel as individuals but as a group to survive. Sure it may be a lifetime of unhappiness but we get to spend the rest of time in heaven while the outsiders will be scorned in Hell. No I did not chose to be born. I was thrown out of my house when I was 16. The example of what happens when I choose to feel and think. I resented being a male for I had to have 3 wifes and suport them making all of the decisions for them when I couldn't even decide how I felt. Love what is love is it blind obedience as my parents taught. what was this feeling of attraction I felt for girls? but no pleasure is a sin.
