But statistics ...Anita, I believe you may be right. But statistics show that people are cheating on each other like crazy. I guess being deceptive to each other is preferable to being open and honest, which is what polyamory suggest we should do. While I am not in a polyamorous relationship I do agree with many of their philosophies. The more I read about polyamory and the more I see from the righteous who claim monogamy is the only decent way. The more I am disgusted by the hypocracy of the mainstream view. One who does not practice or believe that others should practice polyamory has the right to have that view. But it disgust me when religion or (God) is used to defend their position when we all know if the oppositions life was an open book polyamory relationships would be the least of worries.aa@gsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235212806169679357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5962116440742239967.post-25332884957644788972009-03-21T02:13:00.000-04:002009-03-21T02:13:00.000-04:00My theory is that the very idea of polyamory frigh...My theory is that the very idea of polyamory frightens a lot of people. I've had much less alarmed reactions when coming out as bi to straight people. I imagine they've had a chance to become comfortable about and understand homosexuality, and more importantly, they don't see homosexuality as a rules change in their own world. As to polyamory this is precisely what they see, and it is scary to think that their own partner could take to the idea of polyamory, something they never before imagined as a legitimate relationship option. Monogamy is designed to spare people such uncomfortable possibilities.Anita Wagner Illighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083649751515838086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5962116440742239967.post-16484414640585856642009-03-20T12:06:00.000-04:002009-03-20T12:06:00.000-04:00I have strong feelings.

It is distasteful to spread the private image of someone in pain and then try to profit or laugh at that image. Most people are guilty of abusing someone but physical always gets more attention. I don't believe showing compassion is condoning wrongdoing, but showing hostility and no empathy is a crime in itself and leads to more victimization.Caramel Sara Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483871015621357709noreply@blogger.com
