Proglodytes suddenly all squirmy, judgemental over private sex lives

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Weird because we've been given the "what consenting adults do amongst themselves is nobody's business but their own" lecture for decades now.

-snip-
A teenager has told how she became engaged to her FATHER after the two were reunited following more than a decade apart.

The American woman was estranged from her dad growing up, but the two got back in touch when she was 17.

After chatting online for a few weeks the two met - and felt an instant attraction.

11. This is the Nth thread on this sordid, ugly story on DU in the past

couple of days. Why are we so fascinated with such things? It's puzzling.

There are two times when Proglodytes want to bury a story:

1) When it is something they themselves are guilty of or

2) They know it poses a threat to one of their narratives.


So, here we are on the cusp of the Proglodyte's triumph for "marriage equality" when this crops up and shows that the terms of the debate are not settled.

Their reflex answer will be to claim we cannot allow incestuous relationships due to the threat of abnormalities arising from inbreeding.

Okay, so does that mean we have the legal right to legislate in favor of the health of a child before it is born over the objections of the mother?

There are no easy outs for them in this one.

Maybe it would be more acceptable to them if it was a father & son.

14. AFAIK, this isn't legal much of anywhere, "icky" being the basis for legal prohibition
 
and if it was in the US, it would have been Florida Man, guarandamnteed.

I just hope they go through genetic counseling.

19. In cases of incest, icky is good enough reason to prohibit it. nt

22. Oh, just like prohibiting gay sex
 
I have little problem with what consenting adults do with their own bodies.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

If you know what the disease is it's not hard to predict the progression of symptoms.

If it didn't happen time, after time, after time, after time, after time, after time after... then it wouldn't be a issue, would it?

Nowhere near as much as we revile you amoebas.  Not even in the same galaxy.

What's wrong with incest? It was practiced by royalty in the past. Marriage no longer has any meaning, might as well allow the slope to get slippery.

For that matter what's wrong with bigamy or marrying a particularily attractive Mare?

Y'know, not all sheep need help over the fence, but some might like it.

Well, I suppose that would overcome the inbreeding objection...or what you could call the eugenics argument, if you wanted to really stir the pot.

A man was accused of having sex with a sheep.   

During his trial, he told the judge he was merely urinating, and the sheep backed up to him.  He was found "not guilty" by the jury, during which one of the jurors was heard remarking, "A good sheep will do that."

It would also mess up their belief in Evolution.

Proving that evolution is a two way street.
