Question on new rules

[star478]

Honestly, I'm really not going to continue arguing over what's right and what's to allow/ban. In the end, it's all the mods and Lyric's decision as they make the rules (Lyric mainly with input from the mods).

However, I do hope they still allow bestiality. Yes, you can get arrested in real life for having (or trying to have) sex with an animal BUT a lot of the cases (that I've heard of on the news) have either been out in the open (ie, a field) or stem from a different accusation discovered by a search through the house (hopefully I'm right about that. I don't remember exactly). Getting pregnant (or getting another animal pregnant) simply by having sex (if you're a human) is scientifically impossible (thus making this sight even more of a syfy pregnancy sight than what it already is). Unless the animal you are having sex with (and getting pregnant/getting pregnant by) an ape (chimpanzee mainly) because our DNA is closer to the DNA of a chimp than it is any other animal...except for having two fewer chromosomes than chimps but I learned (through my intro to anthropology class this past semester...or was it my cell/molecular biology class? I don't remember) that scientists belive that two chromosomes (don't ask which ones. I don't remember) fused together somewhere along the evolutionary line (if you believe in evolution). So allowing bestiality would not be a problem (I think. Like Mark, I'm not a lawyer nor am I studying to be one). Granted, some people may view it as a sexual fetish, but, in my opinion, what is determined as a sexual fetish varies from person to person making it slightly more difficult to "officially" declare "this activity is a sexual fetish and is illegal" or "that is a sexual fetish and is illegal" (generalized of course since there are WAY too many actual sexual fetishes--including the strange ones--to say out right).

As for incest/under 18 stuff...I can see why it would be banned. In a majority of countries (and the definition of incest varies from country to country, but it is the only thing that is universal nonetheless) incest is illegal (including here in the US). I don't want to see anyone on here go to jail for something like that. As far as I know (and don't trust what I'm about to say--only in this sentence--because I haven't done any research into it), the US is the only country that throws you in jail for having sex with someone under 18 (if you're exactly 18 or older). I'm not sure about other countries. Will have to look it up at a later date (or if someone else could it would be greatly appreciated). Back in the Middle Ages/Medieval Times era, there were no laws preventing an older man/woman from having sex with a "man"/"woman" under 18 (not sure when that changed. Something else to research into). However, as seen in the majority of high schools (more than likely ALL high schools), two people that are both under 18 can have sex together. Whether having that situation is illegal in this site's case, I don't know (again, I'm not a lawyer).

Sorry this is so long. Just wanted to give my opinion and voice what I think I know (since the only portion that I know for certain is the bestiality portion since I learned it in my classes as well as the "incest is universally illegal but is defined differently in each country" part). I am not a lawyer (like Mark) so a lot of the legality parts may be incorrect.
