I support the high court ruling. A man has a right to stick his appendage where ever he wants especially when the receiving party wants it as well. They need to remove these antiquated laws. The incest laws need to go as well. Two adults regardless of ties should have the right to do what they want between each other. The rich allows this for generations so why not the poor? Also allow a man to marry as many people as he wants once the other party consents. This is development. We are advancing as a nation where people are free to do whatever they want!
STFU. You want INCEST to be legal? To have more retarded Dominicans running around the place? Where is your morality? Development doesnt mean do what other countries are doing without introspection of the outcomes. Just because they may do it doesnt mean we have to follow suit. I mean, why not allow us to have sex with animals and marry them as well since “development” is what you want. Developments have repercussions, and not all “advancements” are appropriate for everyone.
Well Bilbo from All Saints, I hope your sentiment is the same when someone bitch slaps you unprovoked on the street and keeps walking, or steals from you just because or hurts anyone you care about for no reason. For, as you said: “This is development. We are advancing as a nation where people are free to do whatever they want!” So you better cry this is development when people do whatever they want to you and not cry foul or go to the authorities. Have a good day and keep that same attitude no matter what happens.

“Please note that these polls are not scientific and are not meant to be used as a substitute for such research.” – well then, what are they meant to be? The poll was not representative, so it does not tell anything at all and is completely useless.
