[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is no one focusing on the fact that they were kissing cousins?  So gross. And he was a married cousin falling for his underage cousin. Barf. Ryan killed his second cousin. [/quote]

They weren't kissing cousins, makes light of it being sexual abuse[/quote]

He was in a position of power. It was abuse. Incest. [/quote]

Strictly speaking, no, it was not incest. It was her dad's cousin. Legally she could marry her own first cousin and it not be incest. Her dad's cousin is a few relations further away from that. You're focused on the wrong thing.

He was an adult peer of her dad's who was married with kids.[/quote]

It was raping your cousin’s kid. Wrong on many levels.

Yes, if she was under the age of consent - was she? I thought she was 17...
But anyway, it was wrong on many levels but it was not incest.[/quote]

I'm from that area and was super close to my cousins growing up - we were basically siblings. They were also a very close family. I[b]'d call it incest[/b] regardless of any technical definition.

It started two years ago. He raped his cousin's kid.

Then you'd be an idiot. Incest has an actual definition, not your definition or anyone else's. Like Sky or Ocean, you can't redefine them due to your preferences.  :roll: [/quote]

Whoa.. wow... I think thou dost protest too much.  Is there something you would like to confess to this anonymous board. I mean sometimes people just need to get things off of their chests. NO judgment here.[/quote]

Yes I'd like to confess I cannot tolerate fools. Fools who misuse and misunderstand language, mostly, but all fools generally, if pushed.[/quote]

They were "closely related persons" and it's taboo in our culture for them to marry. Hint: if the person

The only one misunderstanding language here is you.

The big question is why are you so irrationally defensive about the word "incest". Did you marry your cousin's teen?
