News Article on a British Survey - Attitudes Toward Marriage

[Al99]

I actually came across this article while listening to the local AM news station today while driving around the Metroplex. I often listen to this new station while driving as they constantly monitor traffic and weather conditions - as well as news items - and, when it's a slow news stay, they will throw in some human interest stuff as well. So, today I was surprised to hear a story in which they said, in part:

A third of this age group also backed polygamy, and 30 per cent supported ‘fluid arrangements’, where people could move between different partners.

I looked it up on the Net when I got back home to my PC and located the articles on the UK Website: Dailymail.com. Caveat: It is a very messy web page - and a short article, but with a couple of interesting points, especially that 30% of the younger folks were backing "fluid arrangements" which involved multiple partners.

The article was titled:

A third of young people back polygamy and a quarter want to see marriages allow people to ‘upgrade’ to a new partner, major poll finds

Ironic that Colin Hart found the findings "deeply worrying."

He added: "Despite all the Government rhetoric about the importance of marriage, they are failing to get this message through."

Oh no!

Just as an aside, while I find this bit of information to be very interesting, the Daily Mail is really considered to be a bit of a "rag."

That doesn't mean the information cannot be true, but I'm just informing you of your source. It's where I go to get much of my celebrity half-truths.

After arriving at their web site, I guessed that was the case - but did assume that the survey results were true, even though they probably only chose to cover the more "sensational' aspects.

Anytime I see "Daily Mail" as a reference I HAVE to watch Amanda Palmer's ""Dear Daily Mail" which totally references "rag" and is definitely NSFW.
