Damn.  That would have been so much cooler.

I love how you misspelled "and."  Really, it's not a hard word.  Only 3 letters.
It's hard to be accurate when you're pounding the keyboard in fury.  Just ask Berkut.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Too large.  The point is that gays are my enemies.

I remember back in 2003 I used to ask new people on Languish what they thought on incest, cannibalism and polygamy.

Best when not practiced at the same time.

I wonder if The Brain's dates start with the same question.  :D

No. Unfortunately they almost always end with it.  :(

I sense that we've danced around this without making it clear; the taboo is in place because of the chance of
birth defects resulting from a child from an incestuous relationship.  The taboo is not 'ooh, gross', although it
has that dimension NOW due to the taboo being in place for so long.

I also fail to see the comparison between incest and homosexuality, although I understand that both were
illegal... homosexual regulations was religion put into law, and the incest regulations were taboo made into law.

Pretty much, but both had logical support because of the linkage between procreation and child-rearing. Now that medical science is catching up to coping with problems of double-recessives and the social norms of the traditional relationship are being chipped away at, the logical argument is losing its teeth, and this is quickly becoming more taboo by tradition than anything else.
Experience bij!

The taboo predated any understanding of genetics, so i would argue this assertion is unwarrented.  The taboo is likelier to be in place for social reasons (societies benefit from inter-family alliances created by sexual relations). The Navajo have as strong a taboo against sexual relations with one's clan (or even allied clans) as they do within the family, and clearly their taboo was not created to avoid birth defects.

The taboo on incest is often expressed as a religious one.
