That sounds like a lot of conjecture. I understand the concept of pheromones, but I've never heard of them being tied to incest before. Besides, pheromones do not a moral or ethical argument make, so they have nothing to do with the question I asked.

Pure conjecture. But I think it does relate to the question. It could explain why what might seem to be a harmless act (after dealing with the problems with offspring), is pretty universally considered to be morally wrong. Isn't a proposition the first step in a scientific study? Or do you just want a yes/no answer as to morality?

Actually it's not universally considered morally wrong. It's a taboo that exists in the statistical majority, but their are existing and historic cultures that accept it. And has been studied.

if a brother and sister are very careful about pregnancy prevention or, better, one or both of them is unable to conceive, what would be wrong with it?

Does that sound like I'm looking for a yes or no answer? I'm asking what would be wrong with it?

No - Just no.

I can understand it at a child level but really - as an adult i think that I would have problems relating to my brother correctly. Its not the sort of adult secret I would want to have with a sibling ... ewww . just no

I used to pick on my little sister all the time. My mom would tell us to quit flirting. The thing is, being raised with a person of the opposite sex exposes you to marriage fallacies from an early age. For example, my sister, while cute, passes gas and bleeds out of her crotch. As a result, I have little capacity for intimacy with her. Maybe a hug on christmas.

Let me guess. Instead of going to English class and doing your English homework, you were praying, right? Come back with some capitalization, paragraphing, and punctuation and you're likely to get a better response. 

I think you're basically asking "If we let gays get married, isn't that a kind of slippery slope? Brothers and sisters getting married. Fathers and daughters getting married. People and their pets or their cars. Where does it stop, right?" 

Before you answer, notice how much easier it is to read and understand someone who uses capitalization, paragraphing, and punctuation.

i was having trouble reading this too and chose to skip it

i was also thinking of responding with something like Unseen's last paragraph

e.g., at least a little sentence separation makes it a lot easier to read

almost all people here who's 2nd language is english write very well, compared to this

just sayin'

You realise gays already get married, right?  Its simply a matter of federal recognition of state laws.  So if it hasn't led to other matters like incest already, why would you think that this will change because of federal recognition.  Let me say that again.  Gays already get married in 11 states in the USA.

And, two days ago, In New Zealand.

Seeing the giant protest in France against it, I was tempted to post news footage of the protest which ensued in Wellington. 6 or 7 bedraggled protesters standing in the dark across from Parliament. Very useful in demonstrating that gay marriage is, in New Zealand, NBT, as it should be everywhere.
