Of course we all are that's the whole point to the conversation. Pretending you have more common sense than I do because of your opinion, on the other hand, is wrong (IMO). Your opinion is all fine and dandy until you start saying we should have laws based on it. We shouldn't. It doesn't matter what you think or what I think when it comes to the laws. Laws should be based on facts. The facts are that two consenting adults having sex are not harming anyone even if they're closely related. There's no real reason to have a law like this and if we are going to have the law, jail time as a punishment is extremely over the top.
Excuse me? Where am I even suggesting that I have more common sense than you do? I love how you project and put words into other people's mouths. I never once said we should have laws based on this. I said there ARE laws, which is true. There are already laws on the books in this country. That, ma'am, is a fact. So trying to insinuate that I'm saying something that I'm not, is in very poor taste. Even for you. I also never once said that I agreed with the law. What I said was, and apparently I need to repeat it because some people like to see what they want and not what is actually there, is that they broke the law. And they did. I never said I agreed with the law or the punishment.
Matter of fact, punishing them does no good. Once they get out, they will probably continue their relationship. Being consenting adults, they can do whatever the fuck they want. Laws are only broken if the people breaking them, actually get caught. Do I find incest gross? Yes I do. But, what two people do behind closed doors, not involving me, is, yes, none of my business.
