If you were friends with someone, and then later found out they were a polygamist, would you continue to be friends with them?

I wouldn't have an issue with it honestly. Dropping a friend because of someone as personal as their sexual lifestyle would make me a bigot. Same goes for dropping a friend if you figured out they were homosexual.

Its just wrong, and this world doesn't need such attitudes. I'd only drop a friend if they did something personal against me or other friends or family that I considered to be hurtful.

I've actually had friends that were polygamists. In Africa it is a very common practice. I worked in Zimbabwe for about a year and one of my close friends that I worked with had 6 wives!

He was considered a very wealthy and powerful member of the community because he was able to support all the wives and children he had. Aside from this he was a wonderful person with lots of character. It is much easier to be friends with polygamists when it is apparent that the practice is accepted in the community.

I think it becomes a problem when it is not accepted and there is doubt as to if all parties want to be in the situation. I heard of other polygamists (especially in the United States) where children were married off at a really young age. This hindered them from being able to make the right decision for themselves.

Additionally, some polygamy groups seclude their people from the outside world so that they do not know anything different, and this is also a cause for concern.

Why not their family relationship has nothing to do with my riendship. If this is their beliefs it does not affect me.

If they were just my good friend, and nothing sexual, I wouldn't mind at all. What they do in their home life is their own business. I don't see how I wouldn't know this right away that they were a polygamist if they were good friends with me.

Usually that is one of the first things you find out. Married, single, separated, divorced, or married multiple of times. :-).

I wouldn't bothered by it. I didn't start liking them based on their philosophy on monagomy or pologomy. I think it would be very interesting actually.

I want to see how and why it works. Because I know of many pologamist families that don't end up working for one reason or another.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
