The Pub - Discuss Anything

If your sister/brother was the hottest bloke/bird in the world and wanted to have sex with you badly; would you?

Spike tackling the heavy issues once again.

Probably no. Not that I wouldn't be tempted. Actually, depending on the situation I'm not sure I could say no.

[yuvala 2,167]

Because you lie! Liar! You'd instigate it too! You'd get her nice and drunk. You're a sick cunt and you need to see a psychiatrist. Werido.

Well it's taboo so a part of you will like the idea. It's just a matter of what wins: The part of your brain telling you to obey morals or the rebellious side of your character that wants tells you that breaking norms is cool. For me it's probably the first. I was raised in an eastern society. Morals are a huge thing here.

Really think about it. Forget all the stigmas. Nobody will know and there won't be a child. The most attractive person in the world. Everything is desirable, the closest thing to perfection.

You would you disgusting bastard and you'd like it too. Sick cunt.

It's matter of moral norms, you can't tackle it logically.

Question for you Londoners:

What are the best places to be in London, under 18 ? I have 3 days, one is a match day, another one is a stadium tour and megastore day, and then one day of traveling wherever.

Incest avoidance is a very biological thing. I doubt many would do it

Incest avoidance, eh? I wouldn't know the feeling...

...because I'm the only person of my family in my age group. I'm either older by 15 years or younger by 20.

I'll read that later. But how can it be a taboo due to evolution when it was common practice a mere few thousand years ago? Very much documented in ancient Greece and Egypt. It is part of many ancient religions. Even Christianity, if humanity started from Adam and Eve having sex and kids, then how did all the human race expand if those kids didn't have sex with each other or with their parents? Even in today's societies, it is too common to be taboo by human nature/instinct.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Surely she wouldn't be considered to you to be the hottest women in the world because she is your sister.

I would like to know what foreign people think about this song. Does it sounds cool?

[Spike 12,049]

Sounds fine though perfectly pointless for me given that it's rap and 99.99% of rap is meant to be the lyrics and flow. Given that I only speak English...

That's what I thought too.

The Catholic church would teach that Adam and Eve is written as an allegory, meaning it is a story that conveys a truth, but isn't an actual historical account. So the story of Adam and Eve is very deep and rich with moral meaning, as well as conveying truths of mans existence, but not necessarily an account of man kinds origin as being created.

In short, it is the story of "why" we are here, and teaches many moral truths. As the church would say, science can provide us the "how".

So the Catholic church makes clear that one can hold creationism as true.

[Barbara 15,149]

my brother is hot as heck but ewwww

although for the next two weeks we will share a bed

But it's my baby bro! He's 10 years younger than me, it's like sharing a bed with a kid.

And mind you - especially Stingray - no pedophile incest will happen

First, i dont believe humanity started from adam and eve. Also they werent brother and sister.

It was comon in egyptian royal dynasties for some time. It generated a lot of genetic problems. It was probably much more forced than we think.

On being comon: actually not true. Anthropology documents incrst taboo to be a human universal. The stories about its occurence are fabulations. Pretty much the same as canibalistic stories. So ... Incest is very rare, reserved for ceremonial occassions...

I'm not saying that humanity started from Adam and Eve! LOL Just that it is present in various religions, meaning it was part of society. It was present in most documented ancient societies including many famous plays from Ancient Greek. I think it much more common than you think. There are tons of people who would argue for the legalization of consensual incest in a lot of countries in western Europe. It is even legal in several like Netherlands, France, Spain and Russia. So it is no way comparable to cannibalism.

But let me ask you a different question: Do you think that homosexual avoidance is also an evolutionary self-defense mechanism?

It only became "allegory" after evolution became a scientific fact. It was taken very literally past. In fact, it is STILL taken very literally by most Muslims.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I refuse to believe so!

Why are you doing this to me!?!

Btw, incest is legal in Israel. Only country in Asia.

I think he meant Adam and Eve's kids... not them

but even that didn't happen. Seven never procreated with any of his sisters... neither did Cain or Abel.

[Beepu 1,714]

Well thats not for us. I dont know how long it has been an allegory but ive known my whole life that the book of Genesis are not always to be taken literally. The Bible is the probably the hardest book to interpret, what it conveys is very deep and complex. To convey its deeper meaning takes more than knowledge, so for me it doesnt matter that it became an allegory after science discovered evolution because we are not battling against science, as i mentioned science helps us to understand the how. And no, it did not became an allegory simply because of evolution, it may had a role but its not the sole reason. I dont think the church just goes "oh science has discovered evolution, lets change the meaning of Adam and Eve!"

If you still think its literal then thats your deal, but the church has said thats its not so.

Also dont forget that the Catholic church is the one that studies the bible in depth, so i would think that they would know more about the Bible than Muslims and Muslims to know more about the Al Quran than any other religious order.

I will answer when im home - i even parked my car to reply to this.

Its just that because it is in plays doesnt mean it isnt rare. I base my opinion of anthropological material, not a guess or an imprsession as that is prone to many biases.

There is an evolutionary reason to install an avoidance mechanism - if you do it there is SUBSTANTIAL risk for offspring. All recessive genetic deficiencies become active...

There is no such reasons to avoid homo's. it doesnt alter your genetic fitness.
