Was there a reason you chose lap band over gastric bypass? I'm just curious because I know a gastric bypass surgeon who refuses to do lap band procedures. (Says they're less effective.)

Sorry if this has already been asked but what can a DACA recipient do to remain in the US or, if deported, return to the US, besides marrying an American citizen? Legally, I mean.

Hi Edmund! I'm a big fan of Binding of Isaac and a big fan of board games so this works out really well for me!
What's favorite board game (or top 3) and why?

I'm just guessing here but marriage rates are declining, and the share of adults who have never been married is increasing significantly. So it's not that monogamy is threatened by polygamy/polygyny, it's that monogamy is threatened by people remaining single.
Edit: Woah, this comment got more popular than I thought. To clarify, I don't speak for JBP. Based on his responses in this AMA, it seems like he just wants society to continue promoting monogamy? I don't know, it's confusing...
People have been asking for sources, here it is: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/09/14/as-u-s-marriage-rate-hovers-at-50-education-gap-in-marital-status-widens/
You guys responding to me are right. people are getting married later. The share of people never getting married is also increasing, and a commonly cited reason is financial. The share of people unmarried and cohabitating is also increasing.
What does this say about monogamy? Honestly, I don't know and I don't care. Call me a post modernist if you must, but letting people choose how they want to have relationships with other people is better than promoting some sort of agenda "for the benefit of society."
