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!"
It's fun to mock dummies.

If heterosexual sex were made legal, then a man would legally be able to marry a woman. If you don't see the connection here between rape, then you are the one not following.

Incest can be legalised whilst maintaining the illegality of sexual improprieties such as molestation, rape and underage sex.

This would mean:

18+ (the age of consent for none-incest may, should, be lower but incest requires even further maturity before considering) year olds who happen to be related choosing to have a sexual relationship.

See, there is no molesting involved. If someone molested their child, they would still be guilty of peadophilia, molestation, assault and battery most likely, rape if sex occurs. Theres probably more too. Perhaps we can add riders to previous bills involving sexual abuse cases, where parent/child molestation rather than none-parent/child carries a heavier sentance, in light of the abuse of trust and responsibility.
