I'm sick of all these "groups" fighting for quality - we're not all equal, accept it. Pretending otherwise doesnt make it true. You're a minority so act like it.

True equality is techincally impossible, but that doesn't warrant harsh mistreatment to those labeled as minorities just for being different. I do think a line should be drawn somewhere, but the question is when and where.

Incest and Atheism, or something like that. But if those movements started at the same time, Atheism would make more progress at a faster rate.

I don't have problems with couples that have family ties and fall in love with each other. I can't imagine myself getting into such a relationship but I guess people can find themselves in certain circumstances that make that possible.

However, I would find it interesting to see if inbreeding can be a strong argument against incest if it is ever brought into consideration.

I know some people, that say that stuff like homosexuality is wrong, but tolerate with them doing whatever they want to do, because of their freedom of choice. Is that how you feel about incest, or do you think it is morally acceptable?

If two adults love each other then I don't see why we need to oppose.

Inbreeding though could affect people in the long run, but who knows if enough to matter, but one could argue that even a little number of children do matter, but I wonder if we should treat inbreeding as a dangerous act for a new human being as we would consider when a mother takes crack and drinks during pregnancy.

If there were no negative effects to inbreeding then I would have zero problems with incest of two consenting adults. I don't see myself going there but neither do I for homosexuality, but what I want shouldn't shape other people's lives.

I agree. Siblings, cousins, parents etc. should be allowed to get it on, as long as they are a certain age and can make their own decisions without feeling forced.

How about Asians? Seems rather silly that there's universities that require a higher score from Asian American test takers than other races just to achieve ethnic diversity.

Asian Americans really never got their moment in the sun.

I think that atheists should be next in the U.S.: in 7 states atheists still cannot legally hold office.

Unbelieveable.

OP, I find red-haired women extremely attractive. Little kids are stupid and they just want to feel better by putting down other people for the most stupid things.

It is tragic that kids would feel so cornered as to end their lives for what those little assholes do and say to them. There should be better channels for bullied kids to resort to in these situations of abuse.

I do find ginger men to be very ugly though, but so I find the rest of men so whatever.

Not sure what it is, but holy moly I'm with you.

It must be because they tend to be pink where it matters.

This is because of egalitarian movements actually. Because colleges have affirmative action policies, ethnic groups are competing with themselves rather than for slots with other races and that means higher test scores required for over represented groups vs. underrepresented groups. So in the eyes of governments and colleges this is equal. I view it as unequal treatment to compensate for inequalities from cultural predispositions, and that is unethical in my opinion and fuels future conflict amongst ethnic groups. Everyone should be treated as individuals first and foremost, with only a minor consideration of background.

I understand the mechanisms and reasoning that lead to this, I just think it's utter nonsense. You're supposed to compete against your fellow members of the human race, not some ill-defined "ethnicity" that you're assigned to.

They outwork the other "races" academically and score high when tested for their efforts... that's precisely how it should be, and you ought not be punished for over achieving.
