We are headed for no taboos.

[Islaminaction]

That is what they want. No rules and no judgements of anyone. All because some one’s feelings might get hurt. What the weaklings fail to understand is that not everyone is oversensitive like them.

[Glacier Honey]

but but we are told not to worry about his stuff. We are told we are paranoid

[ventana]

Headed? V’s wife.

Scientists — the priests of atheist culture.

[stevio]

Soooo, what do we have left? Multiple partner marriages, underage marriage, and bestiality? Have I missed anything?

[mnrep]

Why do I get the feeling this will be good news for Bubba Clinton? Probably makes a few more women eligible to be hit on.

[Born to Conserve]

Two unrelated, dumb, sickly people are much more likely to have dumb, sickly offspring then are two related, intelligent, healthy people.

Maybe we should just make it illegal for dumb sickly people to reproduce. Oh, that wouldn't be politically correct. My bad.

[DJ MacWoW]

I’m sure the local Smith family with extra fingers and toe webbing agree that it’s just paranoia.

[Desron13]

All well and good, but what happens when you compound that risk over several generations. I think we all know the answer. Jimmy gets six fingers and a room temperature IQ.

[DJ MacWoW]

Well Mrs V, they haven’t advocated animal love. Yet. *yuk*

[King Moonracer]

Girl robots, now cousins. Scientists are trying to increase their odds of getting lucky. An incremental ε for getting a date is enough for those horny toads.

[ladyjane]

Marriage between cousins is commonplace in the Middle East.

[DJ MacWoW]

Don’t you wonder about their childhood’s?

Queen Victoria was most likely a mutant.

I don't mean she had an adamantium skeleton or could shoot beams out of her eyes, but she most likely had a defect in a clotting factor on one of her X chromosomes that was new to her.

It was not “inbreeding” that made hemophilia a problem in Royalty, it was that because of Queen Victoria, the Czar of Russia, the Kaiser of Germany, and the King of England were all cousins. Everyone says “inbreeding”, but it was outbreeding to other royalty, and an unfortunate mutation in the X chromosome (of which men have only one and are thus more susceptible).

West Virginia solved the incest problem by banning family reunions.

[Just mythoughts]

Darwin was a ‘redneck’???

[Just mythoughts]

Check out what the intellectuals have in mind next.

[GOPJ]

What's next? Are liberals going to tell us they wanted to have sex with their "mommy" before they stated school - so "they were born that way"?

And should be able to marry their Mom?

Hmmmm, wonder if they wanted to kill Daddy and blind themselves out of guilt? Make it all legal. /Sarcasm off
