Huckabee on HIV in 1992: "We need to take steps that would isolate the carriers of this plague"

Well, I only care about beating him & his ilk down.

C'mon, you don't seriously believe he can win the nomination?

Evangelical leaders have been saying they would back a 3rd Party candidate if Giuliani wins the Primaries. Huckabee just may break off and run as their 3rd Party candidate, especially if he gets a call from Jesus.

This is what we get for hooking up Jesus with Vonage, homeboy won't get off the damn phone now!

Think of it like a plunger.

Wow, really? I didn't know.

Did it rub off?

I edited my post so now your response makes no sense

Monogamy isn't new. The pre-christians Romans were at it as well and they were polytheists.

Was it about property rights?

Basically. It was political arrangement between families, rather than a romantic one. Not really much different from arranged marriages in other cultures today.

For the Romans - it was really about appearances and reputation, political unity between "reputable families" (cemented by the production of children) being prized over a romantic relationship. The romance part was a 'nice to have', but marrying for that reason alone was frowned upon as lustful.

They had high standards for themselves - but affairs were common, and 'ok' so long as they were discreet, and weren't found out - as that would damage the reputation of the husband.

Of course back then - you could get yourself a political appointment, not on your own merits, but by extolling those of your ancestors.

Someone's been watching Rome.

Ah, this making more sense. Since celibacy was embrace by Christianity as a virtue, one was therefore to remain celibate, except with their spouse.

"While the Romans tolerated prostitution and concubinage, and had no qualms about homosexual relationships, their marriage laws were remarkably fair to women and thus greatly contributed to their emancipation."

I have seen that - but I've also read a few books on that period of history, specifically on the late republic / early empire.

It says something when slighting/snubbing your political rival could result in a civil war.

That was a later development. Originally the husband could have his wife and kids sold into slavery if he so desired.

This is interesting...

The Oneida Community

Founded by John Noyes in 1948, the Oneida colony in upstate New York cultivated a form of group marriage called "complex marriage" in which theoretically every woman was married to every man. The community also practiced "scientific breeding" in which potential parents were matched by committee for physical and mental health. The picture shows this special breed of children playing in front of their proud parents.
