"We Told You So": The David Epstein Incest Case

[Guest]

I'm looking forward to seeing women marrying dogs, myself.

Don't bother defending the indefensible.

DADT is just the beginning of the end - and you can see it from here.

Dogs are capable of legally binding contracts? See, this is why I come to Speaker's Corner, I learn new stuff every day.

Mark, why are you so obsessed with everyone else's sexuality? Got some control issues?

In English, please? Also American will do, I'm bilingual.

Have to go to work now; have a good afternoon.

People used the same logic when the issue of interracial marriage came up. Marrying blacks was like marrying monkeys, to many bigots of the time, and would lead quickly down the slippery slope to bestiality and all manner of horrors.

Yet here we are 50 years later. Not too many monkeys getting married to people.

Well, congratulations on extrapolating a singular even into the end of civilization.

Seriously. How often does the 20-year-old daughter suddenly get the urge to bang her old man?

Right, wrong or indifferent, I just don't think THAT happens too often.

Interesting article. I had not thought about incest in regards to the advent of gay rights movements. I HAD thought of polygamy, though.

It seems to me that if we are going to condone gay relationships, we have to condone polygamous relationships. Polygamy has a long historical and even biblical basis. Why is it illegal?

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Because somebody finally figured out it wasn't a good idea to have a lot of women's cycles get in sync under one roof. Well anyway, not if you're the guy.

Here's a spoof on that from Jody Lynn Nye.

It would be a spectacular tax dodge. Other than that, no valid reason other than disdain for the Mormon sect of Christianity.

So if we ever divorce the cultural notion of marriage from the federal benefits of a civil union, then there's no reason the polygamists can't have at it.

As others have suggested, the number of people interested in [consensual, adult age] incest is pretty low, self limiting. A lot of the arguments in the cited article weren't very compelling however. Lots of people engaging in oral/anal sex only still manage to get pregnant. And birth control (even the injectables) fails often enough that this isn't a valid reason to ignore the reproductive issues. That leaves us with the sterilized, and the non blood relations (step children).

That is why its much better to support polyandry... men wear out so easily

That explains why it is a BAD IDEA; not why the government feels the need to get involved.

How has the repeal of DADT had any effect on this gentleman's behaviour?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?
