If OTHER people engage in things that are NONE of my business,
whatsoever, then I have NO problem with it. I make that my basic
rule of thumb about EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING.
However, I think that any time there is a likelihood of minors
being victimized in any way, it is society's duty to PREVENT that.
Thus, if the incest wasn't being explored ONLY under the supervision
of an adult, I would object.

That would be NONE of my business. I am NOT a busybody.
And it's totally HARMLESS.

And you're right. I **should** have clarified that as I just
did above: Involvement with KIDS when it comes to incest, HARMLESS
> And if the above aren't important enough, what about the taboo

THAT can incite riots or do psychological damage. Or encourage
other people to be bigots. NONE of which should be acceptable to
any society. And that should include the same sort of verbiage
directed toward gays. Incest and necrophilia are harmless.

Your right taboos are mostly gone, I said this about a week ago, As a
child friday nights were devoted to tv, popcorn and pop, having sex with a
same sex partner was taboo..
Today in the workplace people who drink pop and eat junkfood are outcast
and you will get written up if you look at a gay person wrong. Because of
health care cost you have to excercise and stop smoking, Gay life style is
acceppted and unchallenged, I guess sucking ass does not cause health care
cost to rise where I work!
Building a betta AmeiKa ! to the future my friends Go Liberal!
If you'll examine both beastiality and necrophilia you will find that
besides the antiquated taboos associated with participation they are
totally victimless crimes. You cannot insult
the dead can you? The body is only a shell, what is wrong with
expressing your love in that
manner? The world is full of hate and war, we must allow our minds to
expand and accept new concepts. When my father passed away {god rest
his soul} I had a
fantasy of fondling his scrotum. I was able to make this fantasy a
reality and it was
good. There's nothing wrong with expressing your love in such a manner
just as there's nothing
wrong with expressing your love with a non human entity such as a K-9.
Society makes it dirty or wrong with it's unfounded taboos. Only
egalitarian intellectuals like myself can see through the deception.

Participants in incest are not victims. They are lovers. There
shouldn't be an issue of age here, only of consent.
