It's too late Livia! It's been over since the early 1800's (1 billion humans, about what the planet can realistically handle indefinitely). Damn you, industrial revolution .

We need a good plague

I remember watching "Rec 2" (which was pretty rubbish, tbf) and at some point it transpires that the virus has been deliberately manufactured and released by a group who want to cull the human population right down to the millions...

... which is supposed to be all nefarious and stuff, but I was watching it like " Is it bad that I sort of think they're not wrong?"

Then again, I sympathise with the philosophical standpoint of the villians in an alarming number of movies and TV shows .

The end of the cold war will probably get the numbers down to like tens? hundreds of thousands?

Yeah but if we end up nuking the place, that's more an end-game scenario than a fix. Like... we just flat out broke it.

Though I guess things would probably be OK in a couple of million years and some other civilization could evolve and there would still be some stuff left for them to use, which is preferable to us leaving the place a lifeless husk like nibbling locusts.

Then again, they'd probably just end up doing the same thing.

"Hey Schlelgrarb! Look at this! I have discovered an ancient civilization that bombed each other to dust using these super powerful weapons... AND there's blueprints for how to make them!"

"Awesome! We hate the Shploobers from Schblobereen, they'll never mess with us once they know we have these!"

"Oh no they have them too now..."

*another million years later*

"Hey Krekgrrarl! Look at this!!"

I think the big issue for me is if the women are coerced into the polygamous marriage and into thinking they have no options.
Also that unlike a first wife then they won't perhaps have the same entitlement to a share in the house etc once they are cast aside.

ON the Politics show the creep quite happily stayed his wife was not happy about it but quite frankly didn’t care. He wanted his fun but under no circumstances was she ‘allowed’ to do the same. She had no say in anything which is abuse.

but then I guess as a conclusion, I'm discussing this with people who were brought to up in a monogamous society, where they, by societal rules would only look for one single person to have the feeling of love with, and then look no further. The only way I can really prove my point now is by falling in love with two people or more (which I still wouldn't do, the idea of one person is already tiring). Which I guess brings us nicely back to the OP!

It isn’t even about being monogamous because creeps like him only accept it in men. It is blatant sexism and abuse of wives in a culture where women have little or no choice. It is also something he is trying to promote in Britain and set female equality back years.

I doubt he would be so keen to set back equality laws for race - he is just an ignorant pig who believes the world revolves around him and wants his cake and eat it. He is hoping the PC brigade will pander to his cultural ‘rights’ whilst hoping that the rights of women get swept under the carpet as per cultural norms within certain societies.

Oh yeah, hes a moron. Whats good for the goose etc.

Just another excuse for the male of the species to have his cake and eat it too. Anyone who thinks the woman in any of these relationships has many choices is deluded. It's pretty outrageous if the state recognises it and so does the benefits system. It's tantamount to slavery.

This thread has been such an interesting read.

I agree with others that this guy is a ****ing douche. I also tend to think that those who crow on about wanting more than one wife...are unlikely to be able to satisfy the one, nevermind many. Sexist dinosaurs never seem to extend the thought to women either

This creep is the same guy that I posted about who was in the audience on the Politics Show several months ago who wants Muslim men only, not women, to have the right to several spouses.

He is using his so-called religious ‘beliefs’ to try to interfere with and challenge our own laws on female equality in this country as well as his own creepy desires to control and abuse as many women as he can. Despicable creature.

despicable man - shame on him.

can someone please leave me a link to how to get multiple wife's

Some Muslims enjoy polygamy
Some none Muslims enjoy polyamory
Some people enjoy swinging
Others enjoy an open marriage
Most enjoy monogamy.

As for me... I'm seriously considering polyandry!

That doesn't actually happen though.

The "wage gap" is simply the average earnings of men and women working full time. It does not account for hours worked or different jobs. It's been debunked so often and so thoroughly I wonder why anyone still envokes it.

Never too late for him to learn DR, mine has come on leaps and bounds this last 18 months or so.
Can cook a full Christmas dinner from scratch and his lasagne is to die for.

Yup to the father of my grown up kids. He's a great cook too. His chicken curry with coconut is fantastic.

But does he have his cake and eat it too? That was the question...
