Bill to make marrying your first cousin illegal in Tennessee passes but not without a fight - Lemmy.World

Wtf dude lmao.

These guys REALLY want to fuck close family lmao.

They sure do! Just like all those hillbilly cousin-fuckers in California, Connecticut, Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. Buncha backwoods hicks, wouldn’t you agree?

If those states allow first cousin marrying then yeah, that’s cousin fucker states.

Most of the world doesn’t live in the states man, did you think naming other states was going to offend people? You guys and all your weird hillbilly sex stuff need to get your shit together man. It’s embarrassing to see.

It’s legal in most of the world, including most of Europe. I don’t think legality is necessarily the greatest guide for how often it actual happens or social attitudes towards it.

There’s a map in there too of prevalence though and United States isn’t anywhere close to the most prevelant, it’s extremely rare. What’s going on down in Italy, Spain, and Belgium though?

Ya know, there’s definitely some towns where I’m from that have shallow gene pools, not gonna lie. But I live in Alberta, we’re sometimes the Texas of Canada, and sometimes the Alabama.

Yeah. Pretty much everything south of Calgary and north of Edmonton is Alabama. I’ve lived in every city in the province, and worked in a lot of the towns. It’s pretty crazy in some of the towns here man.
