"cousins"

[Syrinx]

Sorry, I edited my original post. Sorry.

Franklin and Eleanor were cousins. And they were without much doubt the greatest couple in American history.

I said originally that I don't know of cousins getting married down here, but I admitted that some of my cousins are sexually attractive.

1. I believe you

It's obvious there are plenty of genetic problems down there without that.

4. as I said "no cousin marriages" going on

But, do you tell me, that you never had a cousin of the opposite (or the same, as the case may be) sex that you thought was hot?

2. Cousin marriage is generally illegal all over

Cousin nailing, on the other hand, is a time-honored tradition, especially in the case of cute and/or willing cousins.

I also think that cousin marriage will soon be "legalized", as long as the cousins aren't gay.

--p!

6. actually, that's not true

Cousin marriage (which I'm not advocating) is legal in over half the staes.

Fact: 26 states allow first cousin marriages; Most people can marry their cousin in the US.

7. I was really surprised at some of the states that allow it

well, now I know where to go if I want to marry my cousin! Heh.

9. That's interesting

Thanks for posting it. I had been unaware.

I don't think there are any real problems with cousin marriage. The genetic factors have been way oversold, and the infamous study of the Jukes and Kallikak families was discredited long ago.

I have a couple of cute cousins myself, but they're all happily involved (married or cohabitating) and that's OK by me. I guess I'll just have to settle for someone else's cousins.

8. Thing about America's elite...

is that they seem to be an awful lot like Egyptian elite: Endogamy to keep the royal bloodline pure. :D

10. Maddy, I wish you were my cousin!

And I love the WWN!
