<p>If I was a product of incest?</p>
<p>No. But I’d judge your parents.</p>
<p>no, of course not.
why would I judge you if you were a product of incest?</p>
<p>Yes, of course everybody would. To say otherwise is to lie. Now let me explain myself:</p>
<p>You were raised by people with questionable psychology. Since the people who raise you influence your character, you are highly prone to have similar questionable psychology.</p>
<p>I’m sure though that I would stop judging you after a few minutes of conversation and I did not get the sense that you were not open to reason. Kind of like how I’d prefer not to marry somebody with bad genes, but would be fine if I knew our kids would not have the bad genes.</p>
<p>^ that’s not really true. This ‘questionable psychology’ is really just a value judgment made by our culture (and many other cultures). But in places like India, it’s perfectly ok to marry your cousin, or whatever. I have a friend whose parents are cousins. I didn’t think anything of it because I don’t consider my culture to be superior to her’s.</p>
<p>It kinda depends on the situation too. To be kind of blunt about it, a father and daughter is very different to two distant cousins.</p>
<p>You would have had so say in the matter so you bare no blame.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t there be a high chance of you have some extremely rare disease of some sort? Because of two recessive genes and such?</p>
<p>If you’re like the inbred child from the new Harold and Kumar movie, then yes, I would judge you!</p>
<p>You Freak!</p>
<p>No way.
The prohibition of incest is certainly an universal taboo accepted by all human societies, but the product of the incests are innocent human beings who do not necessarily carry the evils of their parents.
When children are born, they are free from any restrictions and limitation societies would impose on them later on. This is primarily due to the infants’ inability in breaking societal rules, and their lack of comprehension of artificial human concepts such as morality and love. To argue further that those children will carry the misdeeds of their parents with their birth is an act of racism and hatred which base their argument on the established social rule without acknowledge the fact that infants do not have the power nor the knowledge to regulate his/her behavior. By taking the infants out of their appropriate social context and by putting them into a world where incest, unknown to the infants themselves, are condemned, we are repeating the same irrational and erratic generalization based on birth, race, and economy.
Every time I see people judge others base on their birth, I see the legacy of caste system, and the blatant hypocrisy of modern society.</p>
<p>Since you are raised by your incestuous parents do not necessarily imply that you are going to commit incest. There is just ain’t enough data to convince me that you will commit incest like your parents. Nowadays, psychology has became some sort of religion which justifies the torture and exclusions of the mentally ill in the mad pursuit of consumerist happiness, or gayness. Questionable psychology does not imply that he/she is going to become an incest practitioner. Just because your father went to 'Nam and blow some charlie’s a ss does not imply that you are more likely to go to 'nam and blow some charlie’s a ss.</p>
<p>No. Why would I?</p>

<p>So you would not be suspicious at all of a child born to 2 people with questionable morals who no doubt raised the child with similar morals? So what I’m saying is that you would never dare to criticize someone like Pat Robertson or <em>insert crazy person here</em> who was raised by <em>insert crazy characteristic here</em> parents?</p>
<p>Only if you were a republican…then yeah.</p>
<p>I highly doubt you are though. A majority of the time the children come out with some sort of a mutation.</p>
<p>You’d probably have to tell me in order for me to know (I’ve never seen someone with some sort of incest and I’ve seen a lot of incest people!). I wouldn’t really judge you (you didn’t ask to be a product of incest), but I probably would judge your parents (it’s a different story if it is rape).</p>
<p>I’ve been wondering, I know a guy and one of his cousins from his dad’s side of the family and a cousin from his mom’s side of the family had a baby together. Would that be incest? I’ve heard that it is and that it isn’t because they aren’t related by blood. I kinda thought they would be because they have family members in common. (oh and to make matters better, the girls dad is having an affair with the boy’s sister).</p>

<p>NO. Tabula Rasa. I don’t really judge anybody… I can say that there is a tendency that the child will become incestuous, but that does not imply that I will judge the child as good or bad. We must put “incest” and the society’s discrimination towards incest into our equation. </p>
<p>To judge is to make a value judgment, and every time we make such a judgment, we must beware of the social biases inside our minds, such as Christian values. I highly doubt that such moral judgment has any concrete practical values. Therefore, I strongly advise people not to say he is bad or she is good based on superficial observation of that person’s character.</p>
<p>So you never judge anybody? After all, most craziness is manifested from childhood and parents are to blame.</p>
<p>As a member of this society filled by prejudices, I do have a tendency of judging others based on first impression, but I consciously confess this crime of mine and actively seeking to engage in dialogue with others to reduce my false or partial judgment. We make judgments everyday, but whether those judgments have any value or not is really the thing I’m focusing at.</p>

<p>Deedeedee.</p>
