You know I've always wondered what anyone expects to really accomplish by holding their breath. At least with screaming, some parents will give them something to make the noise stop. Holding your breath isn't really doing anything.

It ain't pretty to look at though.

Aww baby. The parent probably accidentally passed through the toy isle and didn't grab anything. Or maybe the snack isle.

I don't know if it will. Probably only if there is a sufficient population in incestuous (but not necessarily sexual) relationships. (I know that incest is defined as sexual, bit I don't know what other word to use)

As for whether it should be allowed; so long as the union does not produce genetically defective children, I don't see anything wrong with it. I think that people are mostly opposed to incest due to the ick factor, but if two people don't find it disgusting then if they want to get together, that is their choice, and there is nothing inherently wrong with that.

Is this thread a joke?

It has to be.

TAKE THAT all you Marriage Equality advocates!!!

You are, by far, the most childish and petty member we have here.

Off topic.

Your argument was a childish non-sequitur misrepresentation of your quote-ee's position, and pointing that out is entirely on topic. Perhaps you should be blaming yourself for posting something so thin on the ground in terms of ideas that I could respond so easily in so few words.

Quote:Aren't you supposed to be setting an example - "mod"

Yes, and a part of that example is not indulging blatant idiocy when it rears its head.
