PHILADELPHIA (AP) Children born to couples who are first or second cousins have a lower risk of birth defects than is commonly believed, but it can still be nearly twice as high as usual, according to a study released yesterday.

These people will not be happy until they break down every aspect of Western Civilization's sexual morality.

Jeepers, forget the genetic statistics. I just can't get past the ick factor.

Same here!

They don't have far to go!

The "evil" homosexuals are behind this? Hmmmmmm? I didn't even catch one mention of homosexuality in the entire article. You guys need to adjust the foil hats a bit. Perhpas tune the antennea away from Mars. Maybe you're getting interference?

With that said cousin marrige isn't such a great idea. The first go-around may only hold slightly higher birth defect rates, but lets try marrying cousins who are kids of people who married cousins before. Retard kids are NOT a good idea.

I just noticed that this was posted here. Even though the other posting is from a different source (and got posted just 4 minutes before me so it wasn't there when I searched), the thread should probably be locked so that additional comments will go to the earlier thread.

Not specifically, however they are certainly working in conjunction with the fornicators and adulterers who would like to see all manner of sexual misbehavior be given society's approval.

This sort of news will make Arkansas appear a bit more mainstream....

I wish I could describe the family we saw in Hinton, West Virginia at a festival. There were about 10 adults, all fat and they all looked very much alike, with these sullen, vacant expressions on their faces. You know those mythological figures who shared an eye? Well, these people looked like they shared a tooth.

And you can make this statement because you've been to one of "their" meetings? You know the ones with all the homosexuals and perverts sitting around and plotting how to make sure cousins marry?

Try visiting Phillipe, WV! For some reason, there's a whole bunch of red headed guys that stand about 6 feet 6 inches that all look alike. Weird!

I think your tin foil hat is too tight.

In some parts of Eastern Kentucky, it will be seen as welcome news, LOL.

LOL And how do we know that the toothbrush was invented by someone from Eastern Kentucky?

Because if anybody else had invented it, the toothbrush would have been called a teethbrush.

The risks of being born a person who will sit on a log playing Dueling Banjos with city slickers remain just about the same, however.

It's your "conspiracy" not mine.

Good day. :-)

That's what my initial reaction was until I remembered I have a really hot cousin...hehehe :-)
