Opponents of Polyamory -- Present Your Arguments

[Nymphs]

I perceive their model as flawed, they perceive mine as flawed. But neither forces oneself upon the other, so there is no problem, right?

You seemed to be one of the only ones that are opposed to polyamory that understands. Thank you.

You send them to religious schools to get indoctrinated, give them an enemy, then guide them into blowing themselves with suicide vests or jets in order to strike down their enemy for god and secure a place in eternal paradise.

That too.

 

[Nymphs]

Well, we could argue forever I suppose different people have different comfort zones, thats all.

I could argue with you forever, you are quite respectful and understand that this is just a discussion/debate -- which I appreciate.

Relationship of two is more easily controlled than the relationship of three or four.

I'm not trying to get overly critical or nit-picky here, but do you really see relationships as things to be controlled? Just curious.

I myself see them as free for all water slides into an unpredictable future.

EDIT: Nude water slides, that is.

 

[Sunstone]

yet I am the one creating strawmanning?
WTf do terrorists have to do with this OP?

Someone needs to take your hand and lead you out of the wilderness. You're lost.

 

[kashmir]

I must give you credit for having latched onto the very essence of RF.

Life throws one around. Life fluctuates. At one point, it can give you great joy, while at the next stop it may rob you of everything. Disease, ill fortune and calamity can fall upon any one of us.

If one's premise for relationship is to stay together until the bitter end, face life as one unit and gain something invaluable and imperishable from it, you wan't to protect it. I didn't mean the control as in exercising control over other people. I meant it as the ability of the couple to exercise control together over their destiny, surpassing the external forces. And, if there are two people, there is lesser likelihood for schism or fracturing.

In my opinion, that is.

You know what works for me when I get tired of a subject? I stop clicking those particular links. This is a busy forum. A certain amount of redundancy is inevitable, but the diversity of topics one can choose to discuss at any given time is very broad.

Debates are the fruit of life. It is the vehicle that uncovers the web of truth, little by little

Although we have tendencies to take with us what we like of the truth and ignore the rest!

Thanks for the clarification! That makes more sense to me now.

I like that!

And actually, I used to debate when I was younger and have since transformed from a conservative religious person to a liberal atheist person -- because of debates. I learned a lot from them.

 

[Alceste]

I'm gonna stop participating in poly discussions when I get bored of it. What about you?

Well, this is certainly the very last you've heard of me!!!!



*has decided to play the "perpetual leaving" game himself*

 

[Sunstone]

I'm still leaving. Just so you know.

 

[Sunstone]

By the time you read this, I'm already gone!

 

[Sunstone]

Gone! Gone! GONE!!!!!

 

[Sunstone]

But before I go, I'd like to just say......

 

[Leftimies]

Alas, he says he goes but he goes not.
Alas, indeed. My bleeding heart weeps. I have been lied to.
