Because then it'd be up to him to console you, and how onerous THAT task would be, right?LOL it's not like that!
I'll be all sad and mopey if my girlfriend and I break up so he doesn't want that.

Even assuming you were correct in that assumption, how does my advancing an objective assertion, despite it not being to my own benefit, render it less valid? If anything, it should bolster my position.I cannot help but laugh every time GB starts bashing monogamy as a way for "weak people" to get laid.
No offense, Mr Ewok, but if the world ran according to that particular opinion of yours, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be one of the few lucky ones with a humongous harem. You'd be just like the rest of us schmucks who date Rosie Palms.
Many cultures on earth have no problem with polyamory. It's still a hard sell around here though. I believe it to be a sign of insecurity - monogamy is basically a tool to make sure even the least suitable can find someone willing to settle for them.
I often assert everything we're taught about love is wrong - it is not forever, nor is it necessarily restricted to one person, and it certainly does not conquer all.
Curious where this 'objective assertion' is and why you believe arguing for or against any position that works for or against you makes it any more or less valid.Even assuming you were correct in that assumption, how does my advancing an objective assertion, despite it not being to my own benefit, render it less valid?

Consider it an educated assumption, seeing how one of your more commonplace comments involves being prepared for the day when the United States falls apart, therefore implying your own superiority in such concerns. Also, I wasn't saying anything about your argument. I just find the associations derived from it humorous.Even assuming you were correct in that assumption, how does my advancing an objective assertion, despite it not being to my own benefit, render it less valid?

My assertion is that enforced monogamy is an unnatural societal construct. His assertion is that mine is somehow incorrect by way of his opinion that it wouldn't benefit me. That doesn't follow.Curious where this 'objective assertion' is and why you believe arguing for or against any position that works for or against you makes it any more or less valid.
Educated. Ha.. you nearly got me to squirt water out of my nose when I read that.Consider it an educated assumption
Ah, so a non sequitur and an implied ad hominem rolled into one is your explanation. Bravo., seeing how one of your more commonplace comments involves being prepared for the day when the United States falls apart, therefore implying your own superiority in such concerns.
Only 40 now? I'd heard it was 72. Damn, are they running out?Were I an impish man by nature, I'd mention an argument stating that the rise of such societal norms where a minority of men have several wives and therefore a good number of men have none gave rise to certain religious texts concerning forty virgins waiting in the afterlife for those who die in a holy war.
Wait, are you saying that any support of an islamic worldview is tantamount to approving terrorism?It'd be even more impish of me to suggest that by voicing your support for such a societal arrangement you are covertly approving terrorism. But that would just be mean, wouldn't it?Plus I find the whole argument silly to begin with
Or at least forced and simplistic as hell, "A therefore B".
You claim that you are making an 'Objective Assertion' which is wrong. You then assert that because this 'objective assertion' works against you, you could claim that it becomes even more valid which is wrong.My assertion is that enforced monogamy is an unnatural societal construct.

You claim I'm wrong, which is wrong.
Nah, I'm just poking fun at your over-the-top argumentation, old bean. And I repeat, I'm not commenting on what's a natural mating behavior for Homo sapiens. I'm just having a bit of fun.Wait, are you saying that any support of an islamic worldview is tantamount to approving terrorism?
Well, fooey. I thought you were going to start being fun to talk to for a minute there.Nah, I'm just poking fun at your over-the-top argumentation, old bean. And I repeat, I'm not commenting on what's a natural mating behavior for Homo sapiens. I'm just having a bit of fun.
No harm intended, mind you. I find myself disagreeing with you more often than not, but I find your arguments interesting - if somewhat pompous from time to time.
Maybe you got a bun in the oven ;PI came here to whine, but after reading this page and the one before, I feel like things need to get resolved before we move on.
But..I'm doing it anyway.
I hate that feeling as if you're going to throw up, but you don't. I just feel so siiiiiick and think that if I threw up, I could start feeling better. But no, I'm just going to sit here at work, staring at my garbage can, just in case.
And my eye won't stop twitching!!! Can't this day just be over with?
Maybe you got a bun in the oven ;P

Really? I have them on and off through-out each year. Also I hear random ringing at any one time every few days. Its odd.I've only had two migraines in my life, and I do not envy you.
You might want to get that checked. My wife has a prescription for her migraines because they're so severe.Really? I have them on and off through-out each year. Also I hear random ringing at any one time every few days. Its odd.
I'll keep that in mind, but these are usually a seasonal thing mostly with climate change. I guess I consider back-aches, migraines,TMJ, and feelings of what is apparently horrible pain not so much whine-worthy cos I'm pretty used to it. It is a miracle I am as strong as I am today. Well...able bodied as I am today.You might want to get that checked. My wife has a prescription for her migraines because they're so severe.
I only got migraines when I was a kid, and from what I remember, they're not just whine-worthy, they're sob-worthy. With a side of screaming and vomit.
I remember having one so bad I couldn't even will myself to move. Had to stay home from school. A constant banging in my head.The first one I had was simply debilitating for an hour or two. You know, fetal position while trying to figure out how to reach in and scoop out the part of the rain that hurts.
The second one was preceded by my eyes going to spots of light, then see only a tiny portion of the center of my vision. Then the same debilitating headache for an hour or two. Both in high school. The second one resulted in going to the ER for a checkout, because eye problems associated with migraines can sometimes suggest blood flow issues in the brain. Nothing came of it, except some Tylenol three, which, incidentally, didn't help. I just had to wait it out.
Thankfully I've never had that kind of headache again.
