Emotionality is guidance from your gut not your cerebrum. It has nothing to do with empathy. Empathy is a strong motivator of concern with issues. Emotionality is a strong motivator for control freaks and its message is "don't think - feel. If you think then I can't control you. e.g. by lecturing you on how to run your life, or by belittling you by telling you to take your meds". There are other red flags, like "get off your arse" Emotionality tinged with control freakery can guide you to misread comments focused on issues and not even be concerned on being shown where you've done it.

Enough of the psychobabble. The thread issue is Moslem immigration and in particular my current focus is (along with focus on many other issues) the importation of multiple individuals on a false claim that they are wives. The broader issue is the dhimmitude or appeasement that drives it. The broader issue still is defence of our secular society from being destroyed by giving it away.

There are three kinds of empathy - cognitive, emotional,
and compassionate. I shan't go into discussions about
these due to the word limit of each post however for those
interested it may be worthwhile Googling the subject.
The information is readily available on the web.

I shall delve a little into "gut reactions" though. The
following link makes for an interesting read:

http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/12/youre-just-about-to-dash.html

The article tells us that "Gut reactions should not be
dismissed as a mere novelty. A new study reported in
"Scientific Reports" on interoception, or "gut feelings"
was conducted by a research team, which included John Coates...
who now works as a neuroscientist. Coates attests that
interoceptive sensations not only stem from the stomach but
the heart, lungs, bladder, bowls, skin and other organs as well.
Based on his findings, he sermised that those who are attuned to
sensing these body sensations are best able to "survive and
thrive."

The article is worth a read.

Regarding polygamous marriages in Australia. Paul's
comment written in The Australian newspaper Dec. 11th 2016
reminds us that - "Centrelink has paid polygamous couples
for decades." He tells us that "First wife is identified as the
wife, other wives receive benefits when either looking for
work, sickness, invalid, or special benefit, unless fail
other tests or are working, whichever most appropriate."

"When wife 2+s each have children they receive single parent
benefits, the obligation of the father to support the child with
maintenance may or may not be applied."

"There is no financial disadvantage if the several wives living
in the same home though rental assistance depends on them living in
separate units with names on leases."

"Polygamous couples occur in various religions and racial
groups with polygamy common a long way back in Australian
history."

Finally, Paul sums up that "While applicants follow the rules
they are entitled to payments, when cheating they may be
penalised depending on both Centrelink decision makers and
prosecutors."

Here is another link on the subject from
Monash University:

My apologies the link does not appear to be working.
I'm having problems with my computer again.
Kindly Google under the subject -
"Monash University - polygamy."

Or the title.

Sorry.

Bigamy means two wives or husbands of the one person at the one time, not in series, and is a criminal offence under Section 93 of the Crimes Act. If it's more than two it's still a criminal offence but it splits into two names: Multiple wives in polygamy and multiple husbands is polyandry. "Cultures" with lower standards may allow it but the Department of Immigration sure as hell shouldn't.
