Vile and disgusting ....

[lizzydrippin]

I really don't see the problem, who are they hurting? and how are they hurting them? Its not a good idea to have children from such unions because of genetic issues, but apart from that Ive never understood what all the fuss is about. Whats sick about it? We are talking about 2 consenting adults arent we?

[4getmenot]

sick and cousins wrong so wrong

[Richie1976]

It's like non alcoholic lager.

[funnygirl]

Oh come on Lizzy!

Are you trying to tell me that you would sleep with your dad??!!! or your brother even??!!!

[lizzydrippin]

Could somebody go into a little more detail of why exactly is it 'vile and disgusting' perhaps?

[daffy654]

When I was 16 years old I was in a kids home in Leicestershire that also had small flats for teenagers who were pregnant or had babies.One of the young mums there had a baby by her own father.The young mum obviously had special educational needs issues and her father had convinced her that their "relationship" was normal.The baby was born with a few health problems but nothing major.Instead of prosecuting the father they allowed him to visit his daughter and the baby (his daughter and also granddaughter).

[lizzydrippin]

No, personally I don't feel that way towards my Dad or my brother, but some people do and if the feeling is mutual then why is it sick?

[whiskeysheri]

I'm actually with lizzy, I think. She wasn't brought up by him, was she? I haven't read the full article.

[funnygirl]

Some people never cease to amaze me!!!

[whiskeysheri]

That's different, though, daffy. That's not just incest, but rape.

[funnygirl]

But Lizzy, if someone forced you to sleep with your Dad, wouldn't you be repelled??!!

[daffy654]

I agree whiskeysheri but it always amazed me that he was never prosecuted or kept away from his family.

[lizzydrippin]

Of course I would, but I would be repelled if I was forced to sleep with anyone. I thought we were talking about consenting adults who felt 'that way' towards eachother regardless of being related.

[whiskeysheri]

Really, daffy? That's awful. :(

Personally, even the thought of my dad or brother makes me want to vomit, but I can sort of understand it in the cases where say a brother and sister are introduced as adults.
