hey shugotenshi
I'm not quite sure how you managed to make the jump from yippi's argument of allowing consenting people to make their own decisions about what pleasures them - all the way to sept 11th attacks, murderers and rapists, so am afraid the logic of a lot of your argument escapes me. Murder and such is NOT about consenting people. How can you even compare the two?? I don't even get the connection ...
Anyway, re what is immoral or perverted? Whose definition are we going by? Yours? Mine? My Country's? Your Country's? My religion, or yours, or the guy down the block's? Morals standards are an individual ideal, they vary from person to person, country to country, from religion to religion. Do you think that we should ALL have identical morals and that no-one should be allowed to be different? Law is what we HAVE to abide by as a group, not morals. Law and morality are not the same thing. There are laws that are morally correct in some people's eyes and immoral in others.
The bottom line is - "is everyone involved consenting" (that rules out your murderer/rapist concern - because here clearly NOT everyone is consenting). It also rules out the father/daughter and mother/son argument (because the parent has an undue influence - even when the child grows up - which makes it wrong). But what about siblings, 1st cousins, 2nd cousins?? Did you know that in some countries marrying your second cousin is considered incest, while in others it is legal? Which is right? You can't just tar it all with one big brush and decree that it is all wrong, evil and that they are all perverts!
Just for the record, I am repulsed by the idea of incest (as I am by a number of other things). However, it's not my place (nor anyone else's) to brand people or to tell consenting adults what they can or can't do in the privacy of their own life!
