[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 6258779, member: 55961"] Not really. It is "glorified" because it helps control people, not because it is difficult. There is some propaganda boasting how great it is, but why is something that goes against our nature desirable? It is a source of a lot of problems really. We had a huge fight to get divorce legally and to get rid of the social stigma (that still exist), because we had to fight against the idea that marriage was glorious. Eliminating monogamy is just the next push. Police officers are usually vilified. I never heard any one say somethign nice about them after getting tickets. Plus these are people who regularely abuse their powers, but that is another discussion. Firefighters are d-bags. I've spent enough time with some of them. They are generally horrible people with huge egos because a lot of people glorify them. I'm all for paying them good salaries and pensions, their job is very physical and dangerous, but glorify them? Nope. If we start elevating people they sort of become sacred and untouchable, no one should have that status. Don't get me started on soldiers. You're comparing apples and monkeys. Sure, Einstein was a smart guy and we want some people to follow in his foot steps. Humanity benefits from this. What is gained from the ideal of monogamy since it creates a lot of problems because we are very bad at respecting it? Do not force people to do something they are bad at, remove the stigma that comes with not respecting that ideal. [/QUOTE]
