Right...

I don't know if you're trying to contradict or consolidate, but seemingly the latter, given that I asserted the very same thing.

What I think he said, (I may be wrong) is that you (Finn) were implying that though there is nothing objectively vulgar about marrying your cousins, there is objective vulgarity in the world. He doesn't agree with that.

That's the opposite of what I meant. There is no such thing as objective vulgarity.
 
Depends how close in the family like if they are hardly related IE 3rd cousin 4th cousin.. yea your related some what.. but not by Blood by any means..

Tbh I'd date my 3rd cousin if I could, shes smokin.
 
Yea it's discusting. Let's stone them.
 
I don't think it's anybody else's business. If two people wish to marry, they can do so, regardless of their relation.


what so you would let father and daughter marry? hmmm well you clearly have issues becuse its wrong im sorry i dont care if its legal its still wrong .
 
If there both happy with it, why not?
 
I think that close relatives shouldn't marry... it really is up to the people getting married.

I know I definetly wouldn't want to marry anyone related to me, it would feel weird.
 
People have a much higher chance of being mowed down when crossing around. Do we make illicit all roads because of their potential risks?

People having the option to marry their own family members is much less important, I'd like to think, than road systems.
 
just no, you're still related - it's wrong.
 
If one is forced to assert a right or wrong into such a subjective situation, then allow me to.

Naturally, animals, such as humans, and Bonobos, are attracted to each other, no matter of age/sex/family. Unless one would like to argue that what is natural is wrong, it would be irrational to conclude that it 'IS' wrong.

That is true but we are not animals? They do not have a sense of what is right and wrong.

It is not natural, if the offspring of a related couple are deficient, does that not tell us something?

You, my friend, are already cornered.
As humans, we are taught to forget that we are animals. However, we 'are' animals. Not 'all' animals have a sense of what is right and wrong, but some do.

Society throughout time has applied it's names, whether condescending or not, to different concepts and events. However, whether one decides to label something right or wrong doesn't mean that it IS right or wrong.

OH! BUT I'VE JUST FOUND YOUR FLAW.

You said that animals have no sense of what is right and what is wrong, but you go to say that

It is not natural, if the offspring of a related couple are deficient, does that not tell us something?

Then, like I said earlier, explain the Bonobos, who, according to your logic, don't have a sense of right and wrong, and so, NATURALLY mate with their family.

No animal has a real sense of right and wrong. If you're talking about subjective right and wrong, then perhaps, but objective right and wrong (i.e. the clear line of morality) animals lack. As well, in mere classification , in terms such as kingdom/class/phylum or whatnot we are animals; however, at a deeper level we are different. We're talking about biology and the philosophy of biology/science.
 
I personally think it's wrong. Why? You're marrying someone related to you in blood, from either your mother or your father side of the family.
 
I wouldnt encourage it, and things would be akward around them, but who am I to judge? I wouldnt like being judged so why judge others? marriage is 2 partners who are in love and happy with each other; regardless of their race, religion, relation ect.
