What to allow: Gay Marriage, or Cousin Marriage?

[bustybbwlover]

the key is to remember that marrying a family member is love but marrying an individual of the same sex is an abomination

You always forget that sarcasm doesn't really translate well to the written medium.

Let 'em all get married, I say. They should be allowed to be just as miserable as anyone else.

Please, guys, go easy. There are people crossing over to getting insulting etc.

We don't want to get hand out bans or infractions, so please, best think twice what you want to post and if your point of view can't stand alone without namecalling

Thank you

Why bother getting married anyway? :dunno: Just shack up together, there's no legal impediment for that.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

So thankful I live in Canada, where anyone who is love with another person, can acknowledge that in every way possible.

Except for first cousins. God knows we aren't perfect like Vermont.

More than one wife? :bigear:

Its been said, but whilst I'd never marry a cousin it is normal in many places and historically. Einstein, EA Poe, FDR and countless other 'stars' married their cousins.

If the risk of deformities rises from 2% to 4%, then its not so great.

John Adams, JS Bach, Darwin....no mental loss there.

Er OK? How is that any argument? Cos famous people dun it its OK to fuck your own relations? :dunno:

I said I wouldnt do it myself as point 1, but we cant deny that it is a historic and social norm in most societies AND remains popular in Asia/ME society.

Most societies?
"I don't think so!"

See, but the social norm in most societies was to give people a bleeding when they were sick. Should we return to that as well?

The difference here is that who does cousin marriage harm? If it is consented marriage that is. One has to look at it through an anthropological perspective. Most societies practised or practice it, and also there isnt a word against it against any religious text.

Today, in this society in the west, yes it is 'gross', even I feel that. But I wont judge others who adhere to said practices. Esp those who are doing so in far away lands.

Look at most Royal Families which have historically indulged in interbreeding between cousins & then ask the question, "who does cousin marriage harm".
I dare you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The real reason why there are still laws against this are the politicians. Instead of voting how the majority of constituents want them to, most politicians allow themselves to be influenced by religious intolerance. They use the same tired excuse about it harming the fabric of society, which is bullshit. The real question they should ask is this; How will it effect my life? The fact is, it won't. If two guys (or women) across the street, or, across the country, want to be married, it's not going to have any effect on anyone other than the two people getting married. Really, does anyone think stopping gay marriage is going to change a gay to a straight? Get real. It's the same with cousins. If they want to be with each other, let them. It's time the government stopped meddling in the personal lives of it's citizens, and to honor the constitution by separating church and state.

Very very well said! I agree 100%


....uhm also I would just like to point out that Cousin/Cousin marriages aren't legal in Kentucky... So all those barefoot cousin loving jokes can go shove it

 

[Deepcover]

How is marrying your first cousin even legal? How can anything that would result in children with likely disabilities or conditions be legal? I don't get it. Cousins marrying= higher risk for unhealthy offspring....gays marrying= nothing worse than straight marriages have already offered us *ie. stupid high divorce rates, adultery, etc*

stupid stupid stupid. So thankful I live in Canada, where anyone who is love with another person, can acknowledge that in every way possible.

:dito:

 

[LukeEl]

Hmmm, I would say yes why not let everyone experience and enjoy the blissful state that is marriage.

More than one wife? :bigear:

Sure! When President Romney gets in office, we'll have that too! :nanner:

And the first thing I'm going to do is propose to three of my first cousins (one of whom is a guy!).

But jokes aside, isn't it illogical (and rather hypocritical) to say that a man can marry a man, a woman can marry a woman, a cousin can marry a cousin... but one man cannot marry multiple women or one woman cannot marry multiple men (as long as all are aware and consenting)???

I've worked quite hard for my entire adult life not to marry anyone or anything, so I don't have a dog in this fight no matter what you folks decide.

:eek::eek:

This is wrong on SO many levels..

First of all how could you have a CHILD with your GRANDSON?? WTF?!

& second of all... Why on earth would you have a child at 72?? You would be 90 at your child's high school graduation and that's IF you lived that long! That's just selfish.. wtf.

I'm embarrassed to even be from a country where this is happening.. :anonymous
