Incest is best...movie director Cassavetes

Top Hollywood Director Believes Incest Is Acceptable « CBS Las Vegas

Quote:
LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas) – A top Hollywood director finds it acceptable for people to commit incest.
In an interview with The Wrap, director Nick Cassavetes believes no one should judge a brother and sister being with each other if they are in love.

“I’m not saying this is an absolute but in a way, if you’re not having kids – who gives a damn? Love who you want. Isn’t that what we say? Gay marriage – love who you want?” Cassavetes told The Wrap. “If it’s your brother or sister it’s super-weird, but if you look at it, you’re not hurting anybody except every single person who freaks out because you’re in love with one another.”
Cassavetes added that he does not have experience with incest.
The comments come after he unveiled his latest movie “Yellow” – in which a woman had an incestuous affair with her brother that is in prison – at the Toronto Film Festival. The movie does not yet have a distributor in the states.
Cassavetes also directed “Alpha Dog” and “The Notebook.”

I was wondering about that; how do people stumble on such a non news issue item from a CBS Las Vegas website? I know and admire his father but I never heard of this guy before and now I do thanks to the powers of the interwebs...

There was an interesting case in the Midwest a number of years ago in which a brother and sister separated early in life, grew up in separate homes, met each other later in life (past child bearing age) not knowing they were related and fell in love and lived together. One or both of them had been prosecuted and jailed for incest. The columnist Jacobi had a piece on it, questioning whether or not they had committed a crime worthy of incarceration. I tend to think they hadn't.

One less set of in laws to deal with could make it worth the while.

I find it odd that you claim it came from a chain email. Perhaps you get these types of email, because I sure don't. If you have proof of it, please post the email.

I actually found it as a side story to another that I was reading that I linked to from Drudge.

Nice try, though.

Besides deformed kids, why do we even care who screws whom? I mean, if I want to boink my sister and we are both fixed, where is the issue?

No, I am not seeking approval. No sister

In this case, the state has an interest since there are kids involved and we have decided to turn our lives over to be managed by the state bit by bit. So, if we go on that logic, it does raise the question about parents with high risk of say Downs Syndrome. Should they be allowed to breed?

Highly expressive but lacking in content.

Some things just don't require or deserve expounding upon. This is one that can easily be described in one or two words. I can come up with other one or two word phrases equally accurate if you like.
