Taxpayer-funded study recommends repealing law that bans polygamy in Canada

Link:polygamy_project_1



OTTAWA (CP) - A new study for the federal Justice Department says Canada should get rid of its law banning polygamy, and change other legislation to help women and children living in such multiple-spouse relationships.

"Criminalization does not address the harms associated with valid foreign polygamous marriages and plural unions, in particular the harms to women," says the report, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. "The report therefore recommends that this provision be repealed."

The research paper is part of a controversial $150,000 polygamy project, launched a year ago and paid for by the Justice Department and Status of Women Canada.

The paper by three law professors at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., argues that Sec. 293 of the Criminal Code banning polygamy serves no useful purpose and in any case is rarely prosecuted.

Instead, Canadian laws should be changed to better accommodate the problems of women in polygamous marriages, providing them clearer spousal support and inheritance rights.

Bah, and I find your rhetoric equally vacuous. Since we've been pursuing this agenda, the number of correlations that spring to the fore are too numerous to list.We've seen divorce rising, morality falling, violent crime rising, sanity falling, breakups and breakdowns and an ever increasing relliance are bigger and more bloated government.I do not blame women for any of these things, however, and in this you are quite misguided. This is a concerted effort, from globalist forces, far greater than any room full of angry feminists. This is a United Nations depopulation plan, and to hell with the consequences.I find it interesting, that while feminism can be correlated so very strongly with child poverty, broken families, and runaway divorce rates, that someone, as educated as yourself, would not even at least consider what the longterm ramifications of this policy making have been. In fact, we seem, as a society, wholly unable and unwilling to do so.

Burqaed sex

Submitted by helen on January 11, 2006 - 8:23pm.

Talking 'bout

AN Egyptian cleric's controversial
fatwa
claiming that nudity during sexual intercourse invalidates a
marriage
has uncovered a rift among Islamic scholars.
According to the
religious edict
issued by Rashad Hassan Khalil, a former dean of Al-Azhar
University's faculty
of Sharia (or Islamic law), "being completely naked
during the act of coitus
annuls the marriage"....For his part, Al-Azhar's
fatwa committee chairman
Abdullah Megawar argued that married couples could
see each other naked but
should not look at each other's genitalia and
suggested they cover up with a
blanket during sex.


I'm really envious of this debate. I mean, Christians never get to debate
about great stuff like this—"marriage is sacred and the bed is undefiled" pretty

preferred hispanic culture to anglo because the former was "spicy". well spicy cultures have spicy politics and spicy economics which is why people want to leave the spicy areas. Maybe spicy people have more fun in some way than the "bland" non spicy people. but they also have the problems that come with "spiciness."

A WHILE back, at a baby shower for a niece, I overheard the expectant mother being asked if she intended to return to work after the baby was born. The answer, which rocked me, was,

"Yes, because I don't want to end up like Aunt Terry."

That would be me.

In the continuing case of Full-Time Homemaker vs. Working Mother, I offer myself as Exhibit A.

Because more than a quarter-century ago I wrote an Op-Ed article for The New York Times on the satisfaction of being a full-time housewife in the new age of the liberated woman.
I wrote it from my heart, thoroughly convinced that homemaking and raising my children was the most challenging and rewarding job I could ever want.

In some ways, parents see college as an anti-marriage market

From the blog of Steve Sailer

readers-on-college



In some ways, parents see college as an anti-marriage market that will keep their daughters from making an immature choice of man too young.



Professional and grad schools are then seen as the real marriage markets.

This all ties into the popularity among upscale parents of pushing their daughters into team sports, even though some must at least suspect that team sports encourage lesbianism in girls.

But, then, they must reason, if our daughter is a Lesbian Until Graduation, at least she's not getting pregnant and marrying some doofus.

The point ... to avoid espousing the kinds of half-truths and outright untruths spouted mindlessly by so many along the entire political spectrum.

We have become a people who prefer our politics in microwavable form. Prepackaged and unoriginal.

You put a group of modern-day liberals in a room and their views on all the hot-button political issues of the day are going to be damn-near identical, veined with the exact same “truths” that are far from truthful. The same is true amongst many modern-day conservatives.

Alexander is no good said Hanson: The fearful Macedonian army was a creation of Philip’s alone

I am reading JFC Fuller's Alexander the Great, and your Soul of Battle.

Why are the conclusions about Alexander’s life and legacy so different? Fuller paints an image of a man committed to not only unifying all of Greece, but also unifying conquered territories into a single great empire, not as conquered peoples, but as citizens in Alexander’s greater Mideast empire. You called Alexander a wine bibber, yet Fuller claims he had so much self-control that he submitted all passions to his ultimate goals.


Hanson: I don’t think I said “wine bibber” though in his later years he apparently devolved into what we would call a chronic binge drinker, whose consumption of alcohol went way beyond what was considered sort of normal for the time.
Perhaps it is the age in which we write that explains our differences and our radically divergent approaches. He is a military man of the nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries. So while he naturally is impressed with the genius shown at Alexander’s four triumphs on the battlefield, I see a more mixed picture of slaughtering tens of thousands of civilians (at Thebes and Granicus, as well as the sieges in the Middle East and the dirty wars in Bactria)—as well as killing more Greeks in a decade than did the Persians in a century and a half. All this is amply documented in Arrian, Plutarch, Diodorus, and Curtius, and ancients believed it was unusual even for the times.


Few believe Alexander had much self-control at the end of his life, thus his early demise. Whatever we think of him, he drank, caroused, and drove himself beyond the limits of what most others could have tolerated. I do believe he had a vision, but it was the old one of the conqueror who says ‘bear with me until I finish, then I will be good’—the same disease of a Caesar or Napoleon who likewise draped their slaughter in intellectual or philosophical pretension. I think scholars are beginning to see that the fearful Macedonian army was a creation of Philip’s alone, and that his 20-year subjugation of the city-states was almost as remarkable a military achievement as Alexander’s decade-long romp to the Indus.

She is so cute

althouse blog in comments section

Cuteness is distinct from beauty, researchers say, emphasizing rounded over sculptured, soft over refined, clumsy over quick. Beauty attracts admiration and demands a pedestal; cuteness attracts affection and demands a lap.

Beauty is rare and brutal, despoiled by a single pimple.

Cuteness is commonplace and generous, content on occasion to cosegregate with homeliness.When do we want cuteness more than beauty?
Beauty's more serious and challenging. Cuteness is fun. Relaxing!

Yes, let's baby ourselves and love cuteness.

Aid – and the control of its uses – is most effective if it is not channeled through government. What is needed is difficult – but not impossible – to transfer.

Know-how needs to be transmitted as that is the key of the door to prosperity. About forty years ago, my uncle, who as a CEO lived in an underdeveloped country in Latin America, phrased the point this way: if you want to help a shoe-maker in a jungle village you should order sandals for a hundred dollars. If you wish to ruin the guy you should just hand him the dough.

affirmative action for men is politically incorrect. that many women won't find educated male peers to marry

weeklystandard.com says:

The problem was structural, feminists never tired of repeating: A system built by men, for men, was blocking women's way.
Today's shortage of men, by contrast, is largely ignored, denied, or covered up. Talk to university administrators, and few will admit that the imbalance is a problem, let alone that they're addressing it.

the education system is favoring quantity over quantitative skills. The result? American companies and research organizations that need to employ graduates in quantitative fields have to turn to foreigners.

Black Death Was Probably Not Bubonic Plague

sciencedaily

Historically, epidemics of bubonic plague have been associated with enormous die-offs of rats.

“There are no reports of dead rats in the streets in the 1300s of the sort common in more recent epidemics when we know bubonic plague was the causative agent,” says Wood.

Instead of being spread by animals and insect vectors, the researchers believe that the Black Death was transmitted through person-to-person contact, as are measles and smallpox.

The geographic pattern of the disease seems to bear this out, since the disease spread rapidly along roadways and navigable rivers and was not slowed down by the kinds of geographical barrier that would restrict the movement of rodents.

man's right to polygamy in Malaysia

http://www.islam-online.net/English/News/2005-12/29/article03.shtml

"Last week, the Senate (Malaysia's Upper House) approved controversial amendments to the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Bill 2005.

Under the new Section 107A of the law, a husband is allowed to obtain an injunction preventing the disposition of property by a wife or a former wife.

The amendment also endorses man's right to polygamy without having to prove he is financially capable of treating his wives on equal footing before taking on another.

Upon taking a new wife, men can now seize property belonging to existing wives, and they are also given new rights to claim assets after a divorce, as well as less obligation to pay compensation and maintenance."
