Furthermore, you, yourself, even admit that it's gross. So how is that any different than my one word reply of "ewwww"?
I would love for anyone here to please point out in my first post, where I said anything else besides "Um..... ewwww" and how that is to be misread as anything, especially when one tries to compare it to something totally unrelated. Wow. The imaginations that run wild here are simply amazing.
You yourself say right here that your point is that it "isn't normal":

In who's actual fucking right mind thinks the two of them having sex with each other is normal by any means? It's not. You may not like my opinion, and you may not agree with it, but I'm okay with that. It's not about me or you. It's about the fact that in this country, incest is against the law and they broke the law. And yes, what they did with each other IS gross.

In defending your position, you are clearly appealing to the repulsive nature of the relationship in justifying your stance that its illegality is proper. If that is not what you meant, it's no wonder you're being misunderstood, because what you wrote is perfectly clear about why you hold the position you do.
Of course, this is your second post, not your first, which I completely agree with. The problem I have is saying, "ewww, that should be illegal because it's gross/not normal".
