She could sing a few lines of "I've Been Everywhere" when it comes to forums! She hates me with a passion and you will get to see that and I won't have to do a thing. :lol:
You just brought to mind Blackmores punishment: A chorus line of twenty women singing NOT TONITE DEAR, I'VE GOT HEADACHE.:smile:

Aw, the crazy, old bag is gone already?:D

Word to the wise.. This person is not gone and probably has had 3 different accounts running as we "Type"..

She was actually civil under one account for a year but finally gave herself away when she could no longer be mean to herself.

By fighting to legitimize, either by persuasion, coercion, or through the courts, actions that run counter to societal mores is in fact forcing their morality upon others. What people believe will lead to their happiness is irrelevant, there are a lot of illegal or immoral things I could do that could lead to my happiness too, that doesn't make it right.

There is a world of difference between mixed race and plural marriages, a difference that liberals obfuscate in an effort to promote or legitimize their views. Race is an indelible part of everyone, it cannot be changed, you are what you are. Polygamy, homosexuality, philandering, etc. are all actions. Actions require a conscious effort; but you cannot stop being black, white, green with purple dots.

The government has a fiduciary duty to protect society at large and not bend to the whims of a small minority, especially when that minority is promoting actions detrimental to society.

I'm a straight guy and lead a monogomous devoted husband lifestyle by free choice. But I recognize that not everyone can find happiness by living my lifestyle and I'm ok with whatever goes on between consenting adults as long as it doesn't affect me. IMO, a secret affair is not a consenting relationship and I have a problem with that. In a plural relationship, everyone in the relationship should be aware and consenting. Plural marriages meet that requirement.

I can see how your version of morality and our antiquated laws adversely affects these people's lives. But I can't see how their version of morality affects your life, even after our laws change to allow Canadians greater freedom to find happiness in their "personal" relationships.

What these people do, doesn't affect you or me, it affects them. As long as they are happy with it, that's their business not mine or yours or at least it shouldn't be.

Yes the government should have a fiduciary duty to protect Canadians from people like you, who would like to make everyone else miserable. But that's not the way the law worked regarding homosexuality until recently.

Not everyone finds happiness by monogomous male/female, missionary position, no oral or anal sex relationships. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms includes the right to liberty, which protects an individual's freedom to act without physical restraint (i.e., imprisonment would be inconsistent with liberty unless it is consistent with fundamental justice). However, the right has been extended to include the power to make important personal choices. The court described it as "[touching] the core of what it means to be an autonomous human being blessed with dignity and independence in matters that can be characterized as fundamentally or inherently personal."

Section Seven of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Homosexuality and plural marriages are "personal" choices and as such are protected rights. Protected from people like you who would like to stick their noses in other people's business and interfere with their happiness.

About time this went to court. When they win (and they will win) they'll finally be protected from people like you.

Charges dropped:
Polygamy charges in Bountiful, B.C., thrown out
Last Updated: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 | 7:03 PM PT Comments383Recommend155CBC News
Winston Blackmore, a religious leader of the polygamous community of Bountiful, in the B.C. Interior, shares a laugh with six of his daughters and some of his grandchildren in April last year. (Jonathan Hayward/Canadian Press)A B.C. court has thrown out polygamy charges against two religious leaders, ruling former B.C. attorney general Wally Oppal was wrong to ask a third special prosecutor to take the case after the first two prosecutors decided the men should not be charged.

B.C. Supreme Court Judge Sunni Stromberg-Stein ruled Wednesday that the attorney general did not have the authority to appoint a new special prosecutor to consider the cases of Winston Blackmore and James Oler of Bountiful, B.C., after the first special prosecutors recommended against charges.

Blackmore and Oler had petitioned the court to stay the charges, arguing that the B.C. attorney general had gone "special prosecutor shopping" until he found someone who would go ahead with charges.

The judge agreed, ruling the appointment of special prosecutor Terrence Robertson — and therefore the decision to charge the men — was "unlawful."...

I just finished reading a book called "Escape" by Carolyn Jessop. The book pretty much follows the life of a young lady who was basically forced into a marriage and who had eight children in fifteen years before she was able to escape from the tyranny of the elders in the Fundamentalist Latter day Saints. She had to go to court to prevent the church from dragging her back to the hell she had fought to escape from. A hell where a man can push his daughter of fifteen into a marriage with a church alder(an old man) for political reasons and the daughter can't do a thing about it.

I had a sister who was a Mormon, and she and her husband were prodded to get her whole family into that bloody church. The Mormon church alders called on us several times a week until I demanded they stop and threatened court action.

So Mormosexualism is A-OK! We wouldn't have this problem with Mormosexuals and Mormofascists if we had tighter immigration laws. Coming here from strange lands with their weirdo ways taking all our good Christian jobs. Who do they think they are?

What a sad sad day for the child brides of Bountiful.Your thinking in the matter of plural marriages is flawed.

Here is another thing: Young men are thrown out so they won't be competition for the elders to get young women.

Now what they need to do is find proof, or change the law, surrounding the child brides that get drug into this. These girls deserve rescue, they deserve that the elders face charges. The courts have just gone about it from the wrong angle.

Harper could take a few lessons from Clinton.

Label the Mormosexuals terrorists like the Branch Davidians and torch the lot of them.

I doubt a can of ashes could go to the Supreme Court and win.

yes... incinerating the girls would be better than creating proper laws to protect them.

Tell me how does this differ from Afghanistan where innocent kids are vapourized daily by thousand pound bombs falling from 10km high? Collateral damage is sometimes a price you have to pay for peace right?

Oh and how many kids was it that Clinton cooked without remorse? If it worked in Texas it will work in BC.

So if Canada actually recalls its Troops from Afghanistan in 2011, they do a
fly over of Bountiful, BC on the way home then? Lighten their load before
landing? 8O

You got it Pontiac!

Any jackass coud start claiming anything as a religious right if given the chance.

You've got to draw the line somewhere and Clinton had the right idea.

Okay Pal. You've lost me in your thoughts. I took it in the beginning you meant the elders. Do you really mean the children?
