So your issue is not for the sake of the children? Then what? Because society looks down upon them? The arbitrary rules of society. I'm sorry but that has never flown with me. Not only that, his family having a beef with that is more their problem then it is his. Yes if the shit hits the fan and he's destitute, it sucks he can't go back to them. But that's what Welfare is for. The social safety net that millions of tax dollars go to.Ultratwinkie said:1. a cousin nonetheless.BlackWidower said:Okay, one: It's his fifth cousin through adoption.Ultratwinkie said:oh so i am a troll because i am the only one who DOESN'T fuck his cousin? that i know better then to do that and realize this will only end badly? possibly with excommunication from the family? living in exile without ever having to ability to return home? nice logic.Oh That Dude said:Kindly step outside this thread, troll.Ultratwinkie said:"you know you're a redneck when you go to family reunions to pick up women" - jeff foxworthy
if you're SERIOUS about it... well i am sorry to say you're mentally ill and there is nothing anyone can do.
Two: Even with first cousins, there's very little chance of birth defects. It's around 2%...a concern, but still unlikely.
Three: To automatically state someone is mentally ill without backing your shit up (NB: Ad hominem remarks don't count) is trolling...and offensive to those who are actually mentally ill because you are generalizing.
Four: Excommunication? I have never heard that phrase uttered outside the context of religion. Even so, if his family is that judgmental, he's better off without them, because, as I've said, it's his fifth cousin through adoption. Besides, who really wants the ability to return home and not get on with their life?
2. where did i state health reasons?
3. and you think i am utter perfect? that i have no mental issues? do you have my medical record and have 4 years of medical school?
4. where did i say live there? i said they wont talk to him ever. you may say "oh he doesn't need family" but what happens when he is in need? who is he going to call upon if his friends cannot? it would be a sink or swim situation.
Finally your crack about him being mentally ill offends me because I have a mental illness. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and I find it offensive that you are trivializing mental illness.
