Honestly it probably has more to do with taxes than anything. Being married is a huge tax break. Trying to work out exactly how you’d go about taxing a polygamous family makes my head hurt.

I think the important context here is that multiple marriage isn’t usually prosecuted except in FLDS communities. In those scenarios, young girls are frequently brainwashed and manipulated into marriage with a much older man, but no one can prove it... birth records are scarce to non-existent, and the very family

I see it more from a practical legal perspective. The complexity of relationships grows exponentially. A few examples off the top of my head:

It sounds a bit like the against side are flinging hot button subjects out to create enough hysteria to not have to work hard at their case. I guess we should be surprised that they didn’t throw in that all children born from a poly marriage would be drug addicts or something.

I know that this may not be a popular opinion but I’m ambivalent about polygamy as long as all parties are in accord, and it is equally available to all genders.

No, you’re right - they’ve still got hourglass figures. Even Tess Holliday, who I think is the largest professional model, has an hourglass figure.

Not to be a wet blanket, but here's what I see when I see those pics above (all of whom are lovely) - they are plus size, but they all fit a very particular standard of "plus size." They are busty, with well defined waists, wider in the hips, tall; their weight mostly carries in their thighs, hips and butts. And

Get out of here. I don’t even like Hillary and I have more respect for her than that. This woman has helped run the free world. She can’t handle a memorial ceremony? Whether you say you aren’t being sexist or not, I question whether you’d ask that of a male politician. Hillary was Sec of State. She is more used to

Yes, quite serious. She was so “incredibly emotional” that she fell over.

Please. You seemed to be quite serious and being snide with the “crazy conspiracy theory” line, and a bunch of other people answered you in completely earnest seriousness about your silly and embarrassing theory (as if we need any more of that thrown out there, “crazy” or not).

For a maximum of what? 18 months after they left the White House? I'm sorry I never bought her New York credentials.

Stop it. No. The official statement is out. Just STOP.

Oh, stop. You can express your emotions without falling to the goddamn ground. Just stop it. This theory makes her sound weak and unable to serve — it’s fucking embarrassing.

It doesn’t matter. It makes her sound weak and unable to serve.

No, no and no. I hate this thread/theory. Clinton is not a wilting fucking flower, she was the goddamn SOS when we put away Bin Laden, and she’s not buckling under the emotion of this day 15 years later. Just stop, this is playing into an even worse idea of women being too emotional to handle important public events.

I think all of this speculation is just as bad as what the Trumpsters are doing. We do not know. We are not doctors. If any of us here ARE doctors, we have not examined Hillary. Can we stop with this bullshit?

Thank you. It’s complete nonsense, and also a shitty theory that makes her seem weak. Just stop it, people, for fuck’s sake. She’s a strong-ass woman, she was the SOS, she can handle this shit emotionally for the love of Christ.

No, I don’t think so — and I do not like that theory either, and would not spread it unless you are on the GOP side. A president needs to be able to handle all manner of events, issues and difficulties without letting emotion take over. Let’s leave this theory where it is right now.

Yes, she had such a strong, deep connection to New York from prior to 9/11.

This is a ridiculous take. It’s 15 fuckin years later, and she lives in NY. An hour and a half into a ceremony, she just loses her shit?
