Yep, after reading through these seven pages, that is totally and definitely the most worrying thing.
It's fine that people get different colours, names, special ranks/badges etc just for being friends with the right people, because it doesn't really affect me. However, when I'm denied a name change and then subsequently have my name changed to something as retarded as that, it's simply not on.
Wow there big boy, I was joking. Didn't mean to get those jimmies all rustled. (malta joke more than anything else)
"i was only joking" can't be considered an excuse when your idea of joking is acting like a self-righteous wanker i don't mind people at all who enjoy getting a rise out of others and trying to piss them off online. i even do it a fair bit myself, although i like to think i have a limit or what i'll say and act like. but whenever you're challenegd about it dan, you immediately turn around and act like you didn't mean to (or act like a victim in some way). that's what's i find pathetic about you - you don't have the backbone to face the repercussions of being a douchebag to people, yet you still act like one.
Clearly you've never listened to a conversation between myself and Hellreaver before. We rake the shit out of each other all the time, I didn't realise that it was a sensitive topic this time. I don't dislike Hellreaver, I think he's a funny guy and I enjoy having a laugh with him. I think you need to chill out, take deep breaths and count to ten.
Hey guys, when did this debate about incest turn into something...bad? Now kiss and make up, but only if you can prove you're second cousins.
Eh, I seriously maintain that the exact same arguments related to gay, bi, and everything else, also apply to incest. I can't help it people immediately jump to paedophilia and lack of consent and forced marriages and whatnot; those can all exist within gay, straight, or any other relationships as well. But apparently, incest is 'yucky' - just like being gay still is in certain parts of the world - and that's basically where the logic ends? Well, Falsey said something about mental stuff / abusiveness the last time, which did make sense, but yeah, every relationship can be abusive? That's no reason to ban all relationships. I don't get the vehement opposition to it, but ah well, I don't feel like arguing it (a first! ). As for the rest; do you actually expect me to give normal, serious replies? I'm disappointed. /o\
No. Those things are not comparable. If that is your oppinion do not tell anyone else. Keep stuff like that to yourself. Man, that is messed up...
The thing is, for every species that isn't asexual it is better to mate with an individual that is as different genetically as possible so that there will be genetic diversity. The genepool of familymembers is (usually) similar to each other. Humans can't identify people by their genes so we can't identify them as family or as "bad mates". But avoiding incest is still hard wired into us by the 'Westermarck Effect'. People who grow up together end up not being sexually attracted to each other. That goes for family and non-family. However, it doesn't work if family members don't grow up with each other. There is a story about twins that got devided at birth who didn't know they were relayed and ended up marrying each other. Incest is a tabboo in every culture and it is human nature to avoid incest.
very not true, incest has been a part of humans forever, everyone were shaggin their sisters in the past, mainly kings looking to keep their bloodlines pure. also, even today, I know a lot of orthodox jews that usually marry second cousins. also don't really have an opinion in this subject, just adding my 2p
