AUDub 11,158 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 This is wacked up. However i refuse to let it raise my blood pressure. It doesn't happen that much, I hope. YET You think there's going to be a sudden rash of incest in this country? IDK. What prevents it? Morality is kind of out the window by many accounts. And then of course there is the law......wait! Our instinctual revulsion tends to play a role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietfan 233 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 New Jersey actually, Quietfan, and only on a technicality. I was going on this, https://en.wikipedia...wiki/Nick_Saban : "Saban was born in Fairmont, West Virginia," But then, Wikipedia...? I wouldn't vouch for its accuracy any more than I would swear to a single sentence out of Nicky's mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeBags7277 734 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 So, this is the next conservative bogeyman, I presume? Rampant incest as a direct result of two consenting adults being allowed to file joint tax returns? I wonder how we're going to get around to solving actual problems with all these imaginary ones to occupy our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about "bogeyman", but I do think it's just another example of a slavish devotion to our sexual appetites. Just another example of the current moral philosophy where consent is the sole criterion of the good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, we libertarians aren't even libertines, at least not most of us. I don't think its suddenly become acceptable by large swaths of people to engage in risky and/or deviant behavior. The optimist in me thinks- perhaps- wishfully- that instead we're coming to a societal understanding that moral suasion and social ostracism are perhaps better ways of convincing others than laws, at least to the extent that such behavior is harming no one else.

Auburn4life 24 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Negatory. I have more faith in my fellow man than to expect this to become an epidemic, or anything close. So why would this be an epidemic, even it did say reach into 10k numbers? Who gets to choose its gross or wrong, moral, immoral? It's two people who love each other and want to be married. They should have equal rights. I don't see how that is not just as valid as two men getting married. No matter if it was just 2 people or 10,000. So if only 2 people were gay, you don't think they should be able to marry? So what defines an epidemic ? 10? 50 ? 1000 such unions ? As long as it stays in single digits, that's cool ? (need a sarcasim emoji) Duh... the gov't decides, just like taxes. How much is a "fair share"? 10%? 50% ? 90%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks just keep getting weirder and weirder by the day. You got girls wanting to marry their fathers, 'free love' polyamorists where 2 dudes and 3 women all live together and bed-hop, open "marriages", otherkin, transsexuals, transabled, transracial. It's like there's a whole segment of society consumed with the desire to be their own special snowflake by any means possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the stuff like "otherkin" is morally neutral (to an extent), just strange. It's just that it feels like society is losing its mind.
