The other day my brother added a girl from Indiana as a friend. He added her because she has the same last name as us (rare).
Well, I look at her profile and see that she was born in Logansport, Indiana, the same place my dad was born. My brother and her start talking and we soon put together that she is our 4th cousin. Her grandfather and my dad were best friends growing up (don't ask me how that works, I don't know). Weird. Facebook is a family tree. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

He said to me "Hey, this girl with the same last name is pretty hot..." when he first added her. Today when I was talking to him my first words were "You're sick. You think our cousin is hot." He didn't find that funny. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

 Do they ignore parts of reality? Group: Moderators Posts: 2,935 Joined: 23-February 06 From: South Overton!!! Member No.: 46 |
I don't think there is anything wrong with screwing your 4th cousin, and the law happens to agree...
-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
