Hmm, perhaps the real reason why cultures which accept polygamy engage in extremely patriarchal forms of behavior is historical coincidence rather than a fundamental characteristic of polygamy? Just maybe... I would like to say that is a coincidence, but most patriarchal cultures that had polygyny also considered women second class citizens. In fact the number of wives was meant to reflect the power and wealth of the husband. Polygyny might be the result of a patriarchal society.

Saskatchewan, Canada: literally the caliphate? The answer may surprise you! The exception to the rule.

In western nations Islam practitioners conform to the rules the same as the Mormons. It's a misogynistic stereotype to claim that all wives are "nagging." Further, it's interesting that you automatically assume that polygamy means having multiple wives... that's polygyny. Having multiple husbands is also a form of polygamy. Please cite some evidence for this. Ah, that's right, you can't, because it isn't true. Polygamy is the generic term for both sexes and male is usually the ones that are more excited by the prospect. Every culture that condones polygamy has stricter regulation regarding women, proper clothing, chastity and such or else is stoning time. No, it won't.

Neither does religion, the originator is not often considered the one to follow. If we are looking at this from a cultural perspective, polygamy died with the Byzantine empire, which is the foundation of western civilization and it has now taken over the rest of the world.

Most of the world cultures have the same stories in their religions, but the Christian are now the default.

The Global Caliphate disagrees. Don't care, Jews invented polygamy not them.

Most people think is like having your own private harem, when in reality it's having 7 nagging wifes. Polygamy and domestic abuse go together like horse and carriage, can't have one without the other So if I have a horseless carriage then I can have a harem? No, the horse is the woman and if you go without a carriage you have a bunch of horses running rampant. Point is that polygamy worked because of patriarchal societies, in this day and age is not something that is viable.

This is an issue between publisher and distributer, if they aren't making any money they should renegotiate or find alternate venues. Not rant against the consumer which is dumb since the consumer is always right.

I thought about it. I did plead that I was a teacher and I was just trying to pick up a few school supplies during my very short break. Think of the children, officer! I usually just unbutton the top three buttons of my shirt and bust out some cleavage. Works every time. Pics please

Gastronomy is considered a fine art Proper knowledge of cuisine and the proper way to serve them. This is high class of course but no reason why you shouldn't treat yourself to the finer things in life, or at least serve your cheap grog the proper way.

Did you know that chemistry began in the kitchen? Maybe chemistry will help his cooking.

What you are referring to is the story that was going around the Mediterranean which made it's way to the Bible. The connection between the Bible and Western civilization comes about through the Romans and there isn't much of Roman law in western civilization. Most adopt constitutional law. Also, the Bible as it is now wasn't complete until the council of Nicea and many of the books were modified before they became canon. So it begs the question of which transfer has survived until today and has influenced modern law.

You don't seem to be a bad person so I'm going to just ask you politely to stop. The Portal memes got old years ago. Classic never go out of style. Maybe this isn't in the interest of discussion, but won't we run the risk of over analyzing a simple game. The game is an obvious deconstruction of classical storytelling devices.

Nina Simone-feeling good

Christianity is the dominant western religion, doesn't mean that it contributed to modern society when in fact has done a lot to hinder it. Scientific pursuit was often labeled as heresy, now science is the dominant word of reason and its the pillar of all modern life. It's hard for me to see how religion has contributed to the progress of mankind. Masons are of different variants but they all meet on the level, there is no religious intolerance or arrogance and for your info most Mason tend to refer to their deity as the Architect. Sort of the universal creator that all religions have.

Dude, no offense. But how does a book filled with the same generic stories of all religions helps shape the world? The peak of Christian though came with the middle ages and it was wasted with nonsense and fear mongering, it took a revival of the old roman artistic traditions to bring the world back into shape. It's hard to see how any religious though has ever influenced modern society. Ps: there are several quotes from founders that state their thoughts against religion and fanaticism. Suffice it to say that they were mostly Masons.

The Constitution was based on the ideas of John Locke, that is not to say completely ripped off. Locke argued for religious tolerance in his time, this transfered to the Constitution through religious freedom. I don't particularly know what you talk about.

Your sister got kidnapped by aliens? That's exactly what happened to BW's talent, its being held up by a bunch of aliens who are forcing them to do everything ME.

Ok Its just a name, I may has well said that it was a sim/SRPG and it would had been the same game.

Most male serial killers do, female serial killers usually don't exibit sadistic tendencies. Most women don't turn serial killer, and their MO is often subtle. Poison and things that don't require direct action, of course there is the exception to the rule e.g. Aileen Wuornos.
