What's wrong with allowing both (like a few states there)?

I was totally unaware of the fact that there are [url=http://daggle.com/red-states-blue-states-innout-burger-dunkin-donuts-div... US states[/url] that have both In-Out Burgers and Dunkin Donuts franchises. Purple is for "have" US states. The In-Out Boigas they should keep for sure. Theyre rilly good burgers and fries.

I've never had a donut from that chain with the fancy-smancy name, whatever it is.

Nor I. The best donuts I ever had were made from potato flour back home years ago. Nice and light not like these cake donuts today that sit in your stomach like sinkers. They were big donuts and my faves were honey and chocolate dipped. MMmm. They didn't do coffee or sandwiches just donuts, and were they ever good. My brother and I always preferred Country Style coffee over anything else. Same with the guys he drove with back and forth. Not their dognuts though. Too greasey for years. Blech! Maybe they've improved since.

What's the big deal about first cousins marrying? My in-laws are first cousins.. a number of my friends are also the children of first-cousin marriages. First cousins marriage=backwards, is that the message of this juxtaposition?
I'm not really mad, I just don't think it's as big of a deal as is presented here..

Didn't the later adherents to the British Empire suffer a lot of inbred abnormalities due to the entail laws? I think the world is a much healthier place without onus on personal information.

I much preferred Country Style coffee to Tim Horton's - actually, any coffee is better than Timmie's.
The only thing I like at Timmie's are their soup and samiches.

Haha! this point was enough for me:
"Leviticus 18 lists all forbidden sexual relationships. Cousin relationships are not included."
Say no more!

facts about cousin marriage also states:
"It is likely that Joseph and Mary -- Christ's earthly parents were first cousins."
so i wouldn't take anything that site says too seriously.

Marriage between first cousins is legal in Canada. It is, however, either illegal, or subject to restrictions, in 31 American states.

Maybe they just didn't investigate the claim to any great degree, or maybe relied too much on outdated texts. After all, according to Wiki, "...The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia refers to a theory by the Anglican bishop of Bath and Wells speculating that Mary and Joseph, the mother of Jesus and her husband, were first cousins.[167] Jack Goody describes this theory as a "legend."[168]
