LOL, "excellent" point? You didn't just lower the bar, you got rid of it. Everybody who has a HS Diploma knows that.

So was democracy.
So was abolition.
So was electricity.
Not having a precedent is a pretty pathetic argument.
Siblings already have certain rights and do not need marriage for survorship rights.

Ridiculous. Not Rediculas.

Ever heard of genes? Also, have you ever even tried consulting dictionary.com for correct spellings?
I'd have to agree with you.

If this happens. I'll be glad to be an only child .

This is completely foolish. I know America is getting more degrading by the day but Americans still have SOME morals........... do they?

Every culture I have studied has had a marriage ceremony and the marriage was always between man and woman.

I don't think so.

I don't have any siblings though, so I don't think I can adequately answer this question.

The reason why incest is wrong is because of the damage that happens with a pregnancy and plus it has shown to have emotional damaging effects. Aside from it being seen as strange and inappropriate.

Child molestation is wrong, aside from it being illegal, because it has proven to have psychological damage to children, they are not mature enough to consent, and children are sexually and physically damaged and stunted when an adult uses them for sexual purposes.

Gay relationships are in most cases two consenting adults that are not blood related and that share mutual care ,friendship, common interests and hobbies and sensual closeness. I hope you can see the differences. Psychologists, behaviorists, sexual experts and psychiatrists haven't found anything inherently emotional, psychological, or socially damaging about same sex relationships since 1973. AIDS and other diseases are not exclusive to gay relationships. Any human being can get an STD.

If I disapprove of drug addiction, I usually don't go out of my way to be outwardly friendly to a drug addict. Disapproval usually breeds some form of mild covert hatred or dislike. It goes together

And of those cultures, how many have been around for more than 5000 years?

The human race had been around for thousands of years before we civilized, before we defined marriage and before we even INVENTED the concept of marriage.

If you talk about history, it would help to know that human history has gone on longer than 2500 years.

Who are you to make a moral judgment on incest being "wrong." As for the genetic argument, what if the couple doesn't plan to have children? Should it be okay then? And who the hell are you to say that the sexual love between siblings "is strange and inappropriate"?

Wow, you sound like a bunch of incestaphobes!
