I would definitely make the argument that you cannot control who or what you are attracted to. It's like I said though - it's whether or not, or how, you act on that attraction that you can control.
I also want to point out that pedophilia != child molestation, not necessarily. Molestation and rape are about power, not sex or attraction.

Bah, I don't buy the "deteriorating morality" thing. People 500 or 1000 years ago were just as bad and messed as we are now, if not more so.
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they allow disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children now are tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."
This quote is widely attributed to Socrates 😛
So people have been making the "morality is going downhill" claim for thousands of years. Obviously it hasn't caused the downfall of society yet.

I see that Socrates was an avid practitioner of the "Back in my days..."

Ms. Marvel was saying that if two family members were to mess around with eachother, they would get one seriously deformed baby. I think you now know where I'm going with this.
...that is also not true. Over many generations of that sort of thing, it's more likely, but it doesn't just happen like that. Go take a biology class, please.
Can we just lay this subject to rest already?

Not necessarily, but there's a heightened chance. And seriously, enough with the incest already.

Here's my take on incest: no baby, no foul. I think someone said that already, but here it is.And the last 6 or so pages were just nasty, you guys.
