That is not entirely accurate. Sorry Ed, but I can find a source later. Flippin 18:15, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
This article should be deleted. It's not family friendly material, and does nothing but take offensive pot-shots at various religions. I tried to edit out the unnecessary portions, but another user quickly reverted. --Thammersmith 18:28, 15 April 2007 (EDT)
- It certainly appears the intention in creating this article was as a hit piece. RobS 17:25, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
- Sorry, I don't think I'm clear on the lingo yet. What is a hit piece? --Thammersmith 17:26, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
- It is intended to attack and denigrate a group of people here, and not really give us any better understanding of the problem of inbreeding. While this group may serve as an example, there is little or no discussion of what inbreeding is and what the potential problems are regarding it. The article singles out this group of families without providing any context whatsoever before hand. That's why I say intent. RobS 17:35, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

Yikes, where to begin?
Inbreeding is not "the act of sexual intercourse among members of an immediate family." Perhaps someone is confusing it with "incest?"
Is it asking too much for people to at least check a dictionary before writing definitions? AHD, for example has:
- 1. The breeding of related individuals within an isolated or a closed group of organisms or people. 2. The continued breeding of closely related individuals so as to preserve desirable traits in a stock.[1]
