That's not very 'land of the free' is it?

Here in the UK we can do our cousins, we can gamble on sporting events on the Internet and cross roads where we want.

Because incest is the thinking man's fetish

Aso cousins wasn't really considered incest until modern times. For most of human history from Stone age up to like the middle of the 20th century, it was fine. Nobody really thought it was weird til about 60 years ago

Clearly he knows something the ignorant masses don't

If Einstein knows so much then why did he let Cherdenko touch him? Checkmate.

Keeping the money in the family
---

In days past, a woman of a certan class who was not married was looked down upon. Marriage was often about locking in the financial security of these women. Married couples, regardless of the reason for marriage, were often considered more legitimate and respectable than unmarried men and spinsters.

Even widows and widowers were expected to remarry for their own financial security and social standing, often being married to otherwise unattached in-law brothers and sisters.

you only think it's gross cause society told you it is. like I said, for like 99% of human history it was not even seen as weird. the concept of cousin sex even being counted as incest didn't even come about until like the middle of the 20th century. less than 100 years ago. for most of history, incest was only

siblings
parents and children
grand parents and grandchildren

and sometimes aunt and uncle and nephew and niece

billions of cousins have had sex throughout human history

got a bunch of lannisters here

First-cousin marriages, which are are legal in the UK, are practised within Britains Pakistani community, as well as among some Arab and African families. Medical data previously suggested that while British Pakistanis were responsible for 3 per cent of all births, they accounted for 30 per cent of British children born with a genetic illness.
