Yes. This is exactly what I was thinking. It must be so sad to have a child who has special needs, and I bet it’s very tempting to blame it on SOMETHING when there isn’t an explanation. The problem is, this specific something is causing other children to actually die—not have autism, which can be difficult, but you…

Can someone tell me, are they able to prosecute women who have abortions outside of Northern Ireland? It seems like if they went after this woman on the word of her roommates, there couldn’t have been a ton of evidence and maybe she plead guilty to avoid further issues. Similarly, if someone left the country for an…

I misread this title and thought Ted Cruz was actually passionately fighting a dildo. Still believed it. Wish someone would photoshop a brawl between Ted and a giant dildo.

Yeah, her housemates are terrible people.

I think they are fun—especially for people who don’t dance. Plus it’s a takeaway for a guest that isn’t a bunch of mints with my name on them. We use the pics as our guest book.

Oh man, I hope for their sakes it really doesn’t come to this. But good. They are right. They get hosed. It’s not fair, and it’s not what should be happening.

I will have to look into this. That’s so interesting. Thanks.

There WAS fraud with the Brown family! They were milking the system, and the show is the only reason they have any money now. Polyamory where people are consenting adults and families they can support is one thing. The system of polygamy (even independent polygamists) of the varying FLDS sects is QUITE another. Your…

Do we know when this law was enacted? Because I know Utah had to denounce polygamy in the late 1800s to become a state at all. That’s when the Mormon Church officially decried the practice (while letting it go on underground for a bit longer and then officially making it an apostasy), and it wouldn’t surprise me if…

I agree. I think it is really too bad that the laws can make ACTUAL consenting poly families feel at risk—that isn’t fair. But this example is still not a great one since the reason the Browns were being investigated is because they were taking advantage of government assistance. So the part of the article that…

And that they didn’t even let her come to the legal marriage. I really hate Kody.

Well, no I think it would hurt the children involved, at least in the case of many polygamous communities. I know very little about polyamory, but I know a lot about FLDS communities. They have so many more wives and children than they can care for adequately. If the women were legally married and thus got fewer…

This is very interesting, I had no idea! Do you know if there are any books/articles on the subject? Do they run into the same types of problems FLDS communities do (child brides, casting out young boys)?

The ban on polygamy doesn’t even BEGIN to scratch the surface of distrust for authority that is purposely bred in most FLDS communities. This is because they are specifically built using fraud (of government benefits), illegal child labor practices, they abandon and/or neglect children. Polygamy between consenting…

At one point they were also designing a clothing line of conservative clothes that I think never got off the ground.

Lol. This was going to be my exact comment.

Great point! This really should follow that line of reasoning.

Same. Plus hulu because mindy.

I guess it’s a great cover. No one really pays attention to you. That's so scary!
