Should incest be illegal?

This is why I believe in representational democracy.

Let someone else figure out the legal ramifications of incest, I'd rather not.

That's someone else's problem. Is my stance.
 
Are we setting the stage for the donald to marry Ivanka next?

:lamo Nah, he wouldn't marry her, he'd just underwhelm her, and hope to pay her off so the word doesn't get out.
 
Hello. This thread is inspired by Dixon01767's exchange with certain posters in the gay marriage thread here.

I believe that in some jurisdictions, incest is illegal. My questions to you, are 1. should incest be illegal and 2. are laws that forbid incest discriminatory?

Let's share our thoughts.

Absolutely not.
It would eliminate our WV brains here
 
Sooo...you're pro-incest?

I don't think the government should intervene in the sexual relations of two consenting adults, whether it's within what I consider to be the social norms or not is irrelevant.
 
Sooo...you're pro-incest?

If pregnancy is absolutely impossible?

She's had a complete hysterectomy.
He's had a vasectomy.
Both are lesbians.
Both are males.

Both are fully consenting, legal adults of sound mind.

Should anything they do with each other be "punishable by law"?
And what should that punishment be? Jail time?

Who are they hurting assuming there's no chance at all for pregnancy on any level?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww….


:lamo


Just kidding...in fact...

I think it'd be much better for you if you'll just be open about your actual views instead of trying to create reasons that you think will be more acceptable around here.

I like you too much to include you in the pro-incest crowd. Say it ain't so.
 
Way to go contradicting yourself here after saying that the reason you object to incest is the health of the offspring.

It's just sleazy and immoral for my taste. But whatever floats your boat, as long as it's legal, have at it.

She might be ill-disposed to a steady diet of 'mushrooms'

Believing something it wrong, is not the same as believing something should be illegal.

Again, assuming the scenario I provided, answer a few of the questions I asked.

Who would they be hurting?
If illegal, what should the punishment be?

Nah, bud, I'm not doing this with you seriously. Apparently the end of human decency has arrived, civilization is about to collapse, and I need to make sure I've got enough beer in my Northern Ontario bunker complex.

You have fun with it, though. :) I think I might be too old for this one.

It's really simple.

Do you think that incest, in ALL cases, should be illegal?
Yes or no?
 
Sooo...you're pro-incest?

The fact that you completely dodged the issue and made up this just further proves the point. You're just disgusted by incest and want it to be a crime because of that alone.

I, being pro-freedom, consider my personal disapproval to be irrelevant. I cannot come up with a sufficiently-compelling, constitutional argument for banning it. People try that "genetic defect risk" argument all the time, but prove that it's not an argument made in good faith. You're not accepting a homosexual incest exception, or one for infertile couples. Nor are you arguing for anyone else with elevated risk of genetic disorders be banned from ever having sex.

So I guess the real question is, why are you anti-freedom?
 
I like you too much to include you in the pro-incest crowd. Say it ain't so.

I dislike you substantially and am happy to include you in the anti-freedom crowd.

Do you also assume that people who tell you Homosexuality is alright are all Homosexuals?

Aww, you dislike me? *single manly tear*

Funny...I'm still for keeping it illegal for your to bang your sibling or your parent or your child. Because I'm not a sick ****. If you really care about freedom, don't do nasty **** that will get you put in jail. :shrug:

It's tough for me to answer in absolutes, because there is always an exception to the rule.

I think the only exception would be in cases of ignorance - the whole Luke Skywalker / Princess Leia scenario. Other than that, yeah, I do. Or, maybe, if the world needs repopulating after some cataclysmic event...but let's not get too silly delving into hypotheticals.

Honestly, I'm still a little floored that there's any pushback from reasonable people this at all. It's incest. Is this really the next taboo to be broken? Personally I was hoping for bestiality...there's just something about poodles....

"You have the freedom to do the things I personally approve of, and nothing else" is certainly a fun take.

You know what is truly sick? The bible. The god described in that book is monstrous. Inflicting horror after horror upon the denizens of this planet. A being responsible for more death and destruction than every war in human history combined. And people worship this evil ****. They gather in groups and thank it for all the mayhem. They're a death cult.

Ban it. Right?

haha...so, now you're trying to draw an equivalence between banging your Mom and the Bible, huh.

:lamo Sorry, I just can't.

Good grief, but the conversations you stumble into on an anonymous debate forum.

Curious...where do you stand on corpse ****ing?

Nate. It's sick.

Sick things must be illegal.

Forgive me, but I'm still scratching my head wondering why there's even a thread on incest.
