Monogamy.....no, that's not folding paper into swans and flowers.....
...but almost as complicated.
I though this might be appropriate for Mother's Day.
1. Monogamy, being committed to one person.
At one time, monogamy was the culture in America....seems no longer to be the case. It both represents, and has gone the way of, personal responsibility.
As have many other attitudes and values....
a. Envy has become a dominant feature of the culture...
Since the end of the Second World War, however, a new ethic has come into being, according to which the envious man is perfectly acceptable. Progressively fewer individuals and groups are ashamed of their envy, but instead make out that its existence in their temperaments axiomatically proves the existence of social injustice, which must be eliminated for their benefit.
Helmut Schoeck, Envy: A Theory of Social Behavior, p. 179
b. Since the 60s, Leftist political dogma has been based on the idea of a 'personal morality," an extension of which is envy, and could be reduced to this bumper-sticker: "if it feels good, do it."
2. The wave of vilification of bourgeois culture received impetus from The Authoritarian Personality, by Adorno, et. al. which identified antidemocratic indicia such as obedience, and respect for authority. Conservatism, of course, was another name for fascism, and represented personal pathology.
a. "...the ideal of a "patriarchal" family and middle-class respectability is something almost everyone is rebelling against....couples go ten years without tying the knot because they do not want to surrender to bourgeois values. Rebelling against "the establishment" is something that anyone can do.."
Tucker, "Marriage and Civilization: How Monogamy Made Us Human," p. 215-216
3. And the explanation as to why marriage and the two-parent family has given way to a more atavistic scenario is that monogamy is, after all, a cultural construct, meaning that it is not one modeled in nature.
It is an artificial plan that advanced societies impose on themselves. Where did this idea come from? From the experience of mankind throughout history.
a. This is the great contribution of our Judeo-Christian foundation to Western civilization. The principles are worked out over millennia as the result of human interactions and experience, and laid down in the Torah and the Gospels, and implemented through human actions memorialized in what is taught in families.
David Mamet, "The Secret Knowledge."
4. But, it is a difficult code, not one that satisfies everyone's desires, and stigmatizes all manner of deviation:
a. homosexual inclinations,
b. the temptation for dalliance with another's spouse,
c. pre-marital intercourse
d. having children out of wedlock
e. ...and more.
5. Things have changed in many ways.
"Today, vulgar language knows no class, sex, age or place. As late as 1960, sleeping with one's boyfriend was mostly a lower-class thing. It was deemed sluttish and something to be kept secret; today it's open and assumed to be normal . In some instances, unwed mothers proudly hold baby showers celebrating their illegitimate offspring. Homosexual marriages were unheard of; today, in some jurisdictions, homosexual marriages have legal sanction. Of course, to be judgmental about the new codes of conduct is to risk being labeled a prude and possibly a racist, sexist or a homophobe. America's New Role Models
6. "Left to their natural state, almost all species end up practicing polygamy, since the strongest males will dominate the physically weaker males and females. Polygamous societies of Islam and tropical Africa and of pre-history are much more 'natural' in that they give vent to a wider range of the deepest human impulses....Monogamy is the end point of civilized behavior that recognizes, however unconsciously, that enforcing the rules creates advantages at the societal level."
Tucker, Op.Cit.
Interesting. Good topic. What impact do you feel that media censorship or lack of it in today's world has had on monogamy?
Did censorship make our society more monogamous, or did it simply suppress tendencies that were always present?

there is NO such thing as Judeo-Christian
Judeo-Christian is a term used by Protestant Christians who either want to deny their anti-Jewish feelings or to enlist Jewish support for a philosophically or religiously questionable enterprise in public policy.

Who said:
"Hogamous, Higamous men are polygamous.
Higamous, Hogamous women monogamous."
Hint:
It is said (correctly???) that on his gravestone it says:
"Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker"
How ennobling!
You're right there, leading the pack in the race to the bottom.
Why are you bothering taking this public stand against those activites you just described? Why can't you just make a choice to abstain from such exciting behavior in your own personal life and let us experience all the pleasure we desire? Why is our sexual choices even any of your concern?
Why are you so upset at the criticism....
....you recognize a low-life in your behavior?
Good.

Thank you.
When you bring up the media, is that with the understanding that the media is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Liberal establishment?
If so....yes, that's the provenance of the problem.
Liberalism is based on exactly the opposite of traditional values: it is based on the idea that every culture, every value is equal, and no one should ever, ever, criticize another.
It certainly accrues votes for the Democrats.
It will result in the death of Western civilization.

guno, you are good to read when you and your sources are solid.
You and they aren't on this.
Wasn't all that screwing around at least part of the reason god got ticked off and killed everyone?
For my part, I have often stated I believe that if its between consenting adults, if no one else gets hurt, if children are protected from any possible fall out, it ain't nobody's business and
IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT.
Would that be your deathbed advice to your children....you know, the essential truth that you feel the need to pass on?
Depends. Are you including my entire statement?
...I believe that if its between consenting adults, if no one else gets hurt, if children are protected from any possible fall out, it ain't nobody's business and

If you're gonna cherry pick, my answer to your question would be to tell them where the key to the bank safety deposit box is.
JK cuz they already know that.
They also already know that they should live their lives without harming others and keep children from harm.

From a christian web site then, a little cockeyed but the essence is true
"It is remarkable that so many people are willing believe that Christianity has something in common with Judaism, even knowing that the Jews do not accept Christ as their personal savior. That fact alone should tell everyone that Christianity has nothing in common with Judaism."

Good.
Monogamy, in the history of man, is a recent phenomenon about 2,500 years old, generally embedded in Western culture. The history of mankind is overwhelmingly polygamous.
PC, don't marry another mate, and no one will make you marry another mate, either.
You will be fine.
Why are you bothering taking this public stand against those activites you just described? Why can't you just make a choice to abstain from such exciting behavior in your own personal life and let us experience all the pleasure we desire? Why is our sexual choices even any of your concern?
Why are you so upset at the criticism....
....you recognize a low-life in your behavior?
Good.
So... you would attempt to attack my character to avoid answering my honest questions, and to distract everyone from noticing your inability or unwillingness to respond?
Nobody is upset, I'm just wondering why you feel the need to protest against people's sexual behavior when you don't agree with it. No need to get hostile, we can discuss this all civilized like
Depends. Are you including my entire statement?

...children are much too stupid to notice that their parents are miscreants.
(get the dictionary.)
So taking responsibility for my own actions and for wanting to protect children, I'm a miscreant.
All of this twisting and shouting about monogamy ignores the fact that with the divorce rate at more or less 50%, we're actually serially monogamous.
This is the great contribution of our Judeo-Christian foundation to Western civilization. The principles are worked out over millennia as the result of human interactions and experience, and laid down in the Torah and the Gospels, and implemented through human actions memorialized in what is taught in families.
