What happens in the bedroom - man charged with incest

What about the instances in which certain men and women who are intelligent and/or strong destroy the human pool by having a relationship with the same sex? Shouldn't we force them to mate with the opposite sex so that the Human race could benefit from their generally superior genetic pool of intelligence and/or strength?

 

At some point, you're going to have to be reasonable or self-relegate to the margins.

 

People can self regulate themselves by not having a relationship with someone who is handicapped, incest-born, ugly, weak and generally an idiot by their own means. Suggesting that a coercive power should legislate/regulate who should be together is nothing but, forced eugenics.

 

The libertarian side of me says that the government should stay out of consenting relationships between adults.

The sociologist side of me says that most incestual relationships begin long before adulthood on the part of at least one person in the relationship.

This consideration is most of why incest is illegal.

While it is true that, philosophically, it is more consistent to make incest between adults legal, it ignores certain realities involving the background of many of these arrangements.

That being said, the law cannot assume things without proof. In effect, if 2 adults are in an incestual relationship consensually, then this alone should not be deemed illegal.

It does mean, however, that an investigation can occur to determine if a history of illegal behavior between an adult and a minor occurred.

Granted, most law enforcement has more important things to investigate.

 

The thing that bothers me about this story is that often times, young women will idolize a male authority figure such as a father, teacher, pastor, etc. Even if the daughter had consented, the father should have known that this kind of activity is wrong and does damage that will last for the rest of both of their lives.

 

Wow, talk about a rare event, I Agree With You.

 

Some will, some won't. There need to be LAWS (and enforcement thereof).

I've got 'some' of that Libertarian thing in me, but I'm not FAR into it.

 

Why should the government give two (*)(*)(*)(*)s about "people's acceptance"?

What right does it have to prosecute these two consenting adults?

 

This is a 2 year old article, and from what I recall he had molested his daughter prior to her becoming an adult.

It also turned out he was a flaming liberal professor.

 

So you would agree with a law that banned and imprisoned completely unrelated people for having sex if both of them have genetic disorders that they could pass on to their children, yes?

 

If a child is conceived via incest then it likely has a harder life, growing up with the stigmata - so I'd say it's morally wrong.

 

Can you demonstrate that objectively?

 

Disgusting, shoot them both.
And anyone who does not see an issue with it.
WTF this is not anciet Rome or Greece, its 2013 in the US.

 

The problem is that you people have abandoned God, and so you have abandoned all sense of right and wrong, and so you believe nothing is wrong. There is no bottom depth to this cesspool you would have our society leap into.

 

In my case, I have been practicing not judging modern women in modern times even by the clothes they may not be wearing on the Internet, and porting it to real life whenever I have the presence of mind to do so.

 

I've never known religious people to be any more or less moral than anyone else.

Hold on for the ride.

 

Since this is now public and the man is CHARGED, the daughter must have complained. Otherwise the sate would have no case.

So we have a crime with a perp and a victim.

Just as there have been rape cases where the girlfriend decides to seriously dump her lover.

One never knows the screwing they'll get for the screwing they got.

 

There is a real potential problem with abuse when it comes to incest between a father and daughter- much like priests and counselors and doctors and teachers and prison guards- fathers are in a position of exert undue influence over even an adult child.

I am fine with the distinction when it comes to parent/child relationship.

 

Did you even read my post? I said the corpse gave consent BEFORE perishing. I suppose a comatose person could do the same.

 

So....it was not a corpse?
But it died....and then someone .....you may want to seek help.

 

Yes I remember when this story came out. The guy was a big lib and Puff Post contributor. I'm not sure he is now though...

I had a great deal of fun on another forum with this story. The anger directed at me because I pointed out he was a leftie was wild, and revealing!

It's a great story and it's a lot of fun too!

Not incest, the story and liberals reaction to it is fun. I just wanted to be clear on that.

 

This is terrible behaviour and the man should be arrested for it. Except in the US deep south where it appears to be quite normal behaviour. There, he should be forced to marry her but unfortuantely he's probably a libertarian and they would disagree and see it as his rights.

 

If I recall from the original story, the ex-wife is the one who made the complaint.

 

So is embracing god what caused you to become fascist and believe that the government should imprison consenting adults for what they do in the privacy of their own bedroom?

 

You seem to be saying that what you do to your children in the privacy of your own home is alright as long as the child doesn't take it out of the home and start complaining about it. Are you saying that if the child doesn't compalin then the police woud be violating your rights to interfere?
