Do they let them have five wives in Malaysia? I thought Islam permitted only four.

Why do you suppose he was happy????
TenPenny, you never miss a chance to take a shot do you? Why is that? We don't all know that is the case. I believe I have known SJP much much longer than you and I believe what he has to say.
Like him and CB, I too am all for empathy. What I'm not for is new comers to this land who impose their way of life on us by expecting us to change. It's time we all took a stance on this because we are about the only country that accepts such nonsense. I've never ever understood why people come to this country for a better life and then try to make it into the country they left. They will succeed as long as we continue to be so obliging. We bend over backwards to accomodate and they certainly accomodate us for doing so.
Good point, VI. Do you suppose that's why Canada is in a perpetual state of "identity crisis?" Well, maybe "crisis" is too strong a term...how about "identity-challenged?"
We used to be able to cross the border using the status cards but not now until the gov't gets off its fat ass and issues new ones like they promised 5 years ago.I didn't inquire as to his religion. It's never that important to me when I'm having conversations with people.
There is no need to inquire about his religion. If he had four wives, he must have been a Muslim. I doubt Malaysia would permit more than one wives to non Muslims.
PS - Maybe he was an atheist. Is it OK for an atheist in Malyasia to have 5 wifes?
Well, we natives are anyway. The feds are obfuscating about our status cards. Regular Canucks have their SIN cards, passports, & driver's licenses.
"There's many a strife, 'twixt the bed and the wife!"

"...Beware the knives, if you have 5 wives."
I think a person whose family was in Western Canada over century and didn't have Metis relatives would be hard to find!
It;s hard enough with one wife. With 5 wives it would be too hard.

I cannot imagine living in a house with that many "other" women! Although Grampa got kicked out of the bed tonight anyway. Our grandson is having a sleep over. He has a wicked cold and since he doesn't walk, I'm afraid he might roll out of the bed. I want to be there to keep an "eye" on him. He'll probably wake up in the morning and ask me if I can go sleep somewhere else! It's a king bed so hopefully, he won't really notice I'm there. He's too sick to go to school so it was just easier to have him stay. He thinks it's funny that Grampa has to sleep somewhere else. Grampa is a big man - I don't think the two of them would share well together.
VI - No, no! It was 5 wives but in 5 separate houses!!!
