And with the exception of Maine and Alaska, they're all in states that ban first cousin marriage.

when I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child - but now I am a man.
It's much weirder to like hang out and have thanksgiving dinner with your aunties and cousins than to want to gently caress them.

First cousin marriages and uncle-niece marriages are common in Islam. Shouldn't they be in the legal category?

Who is they? Blue is the legal category and every majority islamic country is blue.

Compare/contrast actual prevalence of cousin marriage:



(the scale is % of all marriages that are between second-cousins or closer)

Europe: "Yeah, sure, you can gently caress your cousin- but why would you want to?"

According to Wikipedia's sources, it is in fact legal in much of Europe.

Edit: Por ejemplo, these laws are purely about incest (which is generally siblings, parents, or children), not specifically about cousins:
* "Countries which allow incest between consenting adults include France, Spain, the Benelux and Portugal."
* "Incest is illegal in Italy only if it provokes public scandal"
* "Incest is not specifically prohibited under Portuguese law."
* "In Russia, consensual sex between adults, including incest, is not a crime."
* "Consensual incest between adults is legal in Spain."

I dunno man I think that incest poo poo is indeed legal in Europe

If incest wasn't legal in Europe the royal families would have been filled with tainted medium nobility blood a long time ago.

Also we wouldn't have a chin named after a single family.

Yes it is. This map is not about incest in general, it's about first cousin marriage and that is legal almost everywhere.

oh hey since we're talking about incest i should share something i find interesting but would be really creepy to bring up out of essentially any context other than the current one
http://humweb.ucsc.edu/jklynn/Women2013/ScheidelBrotherSisterMarriages.pdf
official roman census records from a greek colony in egypt record almost a quarter of all marriages as between a man and a woman with the same father and the same mother, over a period of many generations. presumably this dates back to the ptolemaic period when arsinoe ii and ptolemy ii brought the pharaonic tradition of brother-sister marriage into the hellenistic world. hard to say how widespread this was, or what to make of it

Are you sure they were fire ants? They're pretty terrestrial, I wouldn't expect to find them in significant numbers in a bamboo shaft. Your description sounds like the Florida carpenter ant Camponotus sp. which prefers to nest in hollow wooden structures like bamboo or old termite galleries. You can often find them foraging for sweets in your kitchen after dark :3:






nice post, i'm sure you're right. musta been that C. floridanus

hm let's find a map. hmmmmmmmmmm
