Konfucius Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Most of my relatives suck I'm with Jebbediah (sp?) Springfield on this one. Let the ones in Shelbyville marry their cousins, we won't.
weeyellowbloke Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 I accidently went out with and slept with someone who turned out to be my third cousin earlier this year - whoops! This thread and post reminds me of this classic song by Madness Down in Trinidad there was a family With much confusion as you will see A mama and a papa and a boy who was grown He wanted to marry and have a wife of his own He found a girl she suited him nice He went to his father to ask his advice His father said: "Son, I have to say no, The girl is your sister, but your mama don't know" Oh, misery Shame and scandal in the family I say oh, misery Shame and scandal in the family Then a week went by and the summer came down Soon the best girl on the island he found He went to his papa to make it a date His papa shook his head and to this he did say "You Can't marry that girl I have to say no Cause the girl is your sister, but your mama don't know" Oh, misery Shame and scandal in the family I say Oh, misery It’s shame and scandal in the family He went to his mama, he covered his head He told his mum what his father had said His mother she laughed, she said: "Go man, go Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know" Oh, misery It’s shame and scandal in the family Oh, misery Shame and scandal in the family I say oh, misery Shame and scandal in the family I say oh, misery
MunKy Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 You bick sastard. on that topic who has actually done it? And did you find out after and think "oh fuck!" or did you know and think "fuck it"?
ZeldaFreak Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I know that I have alot of second cousins that were born in both USA and Austrailia, there are some that have come onto me but I simply pulled back. Thats the way life works, I guess. Cousins totally illegal in this country. Only Half cousins downwards are fine
The Bard Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Cousins totally illegal in this country. Only Half cousins downwards are fine Thats not true.
somme Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Thats not true. Thats what I said earlier, some people just can't read. Well at least you agree with me. :P
Pestneb Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Marriage of Cousins Despite the long list of degrees of forbidden relationship, you can marry a cousin (courtesy of Henry VIII who changed the law to marry his cousin!). However, it would be sensible for you both to consult your GP to ensure that there are no factors in your family's health records that would make your decision to have children inadvisable on medical grounds. basically anyone with "mother" "father" "aunt" "uncle" "brother" or "sister" in their title (in relation to you) is by law out of the question in the uk (but for most thats the case anyway) exceptions are (according to the site I read) great grand parents, who are only illegal in Scotland, and stepbrother/sister under certain circumstances.
Charlie Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Although speaking of, kinda have a crush on my friend's cousin. That feels kinda awkward, probably just me though... So do I, but I haven't seen her for a year now. It doesn't feel awkward at all, my friend even said it was cool. My friend's mum thinks its cool too, somehow she knows and whenever she talks about her she looks over at me to see my expression. On Euro Trip the hot girl (the twin) gets off with her brother....
The Bard Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Thats what I said earlier, some people just can't read. Thats...just great.

What about Godfather/ mother??
dabookerman Posted August 11, 2006 Author Posted August 11, 2006 What about Godfather/ mother?? Yes, no we're getting somewhere
Pestneb Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Thats...just great. What about Godfather/ mother?? goood question. I imagine they are fine, as its mainly a Catholic thing. but then step relatives are illegal so who knows.
Charlie Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Well Godfather/mother are generally not related to you at all so that is fine. Although my god mother is ugly, so I wouldn't.
Eenuh Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 My godmother and godfather are an aunt and an uncle... I thought they usually were relatives?
Charlie Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 My godmother and godfather are an aunt and an uncle... I thought they usually were relatives? I doubt mine have met since I was Christened... Although it does make more sense if they are relatives.... Different families must do it differently....
