Iceland Creates Anti-Incest App

Oh...GOT...another popular show I don't watch. :hehe:
 
Maybe we need some world wide version. Eventually we'd all be able to trace our family back to a few dozen people.
 
I don't really watch TV shows.

Mainly just Movies and Sports for me.
 
Arranged marriages to first cousins is common in parts of Pakistan and amongst some Jewish communities.

Personally I find the idea of sleeping with anyone even remotely related to me disgusting but oddly in some parts of the world its seen as preferable to date someone as closely linked to your intimidate family

I'm Pakistani and I can confirm this.
 
Marrying a cousin was a commonly accepted thing in Western countries all the way up to the late 1800's. While I have some attractive cousins, I don't think I'd ever consider sleeping with them but that's personal preference. It's not as genetically unsound as you might think but I still think most people would prefer to spread out from their own family tree.
 
I don't want to marry any of my cousins either.
 
Hey, if anybody in my family looked like Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, I'd at least think about it. :woot:

If anyone in my family looked like Emilia Clarke I wouldn't have to think about it :o
 
Barney and Robin needed this app in HIMYM. :hehe:

And Ultimate Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch definitely need this.
 
I don't know what I'd do if I found out I was related to someone I was dating/engaged/married to.

I mean, besides doing it one more time, because it's not like you haven't done it before. :o
 
I figured you'd look for a woman with mutual interests in incest.

Put that on a dating site with no context and see how many responses you get. :p

Well if you go back far enough everyone is related.

Please... pretty please... expound on this statement.

What? It's pretty simple. If you go back far enough along the family tree you'll find almost everyone is descended from just a few thousand people. Take Mitochondria Eve for example.

Mitochondrial Eve is named after mitochondria and the biblical Eve.[2] Unlike her biblical namesake, she was not the only living human female of her time. However, her female contemporaries, except her mother, failed to produce a direct unbroken female line to any living woman in the present day.
It's not a perfect theory and there's some discussion about how valid it is but it's good enough for now.
 
Clearly, the only sure way to avoid incest is to date outside your race. Swirl it up, people. Swirl it up.
