Starboy: Speaking of levels of stupidity, I should inform you that this debate is in regards to incest and not polygamy.

tinybear: If incest were made legal, then a parent would legally be able to marry their own child. If you do not see the connection here between molestation, then you are the one not following.

"Shooting people in the head should be legalized."
"But... that would be murder."
"No, murder remains a crime; we're just talking about shooting people in the head!"
The trouble is that there is nothing illegal about shooting people in the head unless it constitutes murder or some other form of assault, so your analogy doesn't work. You made a claim
"Quote by: Waychel
If we legalize incest then we legalize molestation -- simple as that.
Honestly, this is getting ridiculous, now..."

It's not as simple as that. Legalising incest does not mean the same as legalising molestation. It is entirely possible to have an incestuous realitionship between consenting adults. Therefore legalising one is not legalising the other.
