Genetic Breakthrough that Reveals the Differences Between Humans

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1743171/posts

What they think passes for science, is a rehash, badly presented at that, of a chapter in introductory genetics. Could we pass some law that mandates sterilization for sub-humans? I know the problems with ethics and the fact that, genetically it just doesn't work. But imagine all the fun we could have when the guys with no balls got too fat to climb into their trucks they lose most of their body hair and they all start to sound like Jerry Lewis on steroids!

1. Looks like

they got all the stupid genes.

4. and most of the fear, distrust, intolerance and....

violence loving genes as well.

2. Good grief,

now they are talking about "races" of animals.

"Are coyotes and domestic dogs two different races of canines?"


Really, did these people EVER go to school at all, just a little bit?

Good grief.

3. What I took away from that mish-mosh...

Was a sense of hope that a number of them had that this was a hook that they could hang their hat on.

Kind of desperate, what?

6. Catch the part of the comments where a guy wondered if Inuits and Australian Aboriginals

could "interbreed"?

And if there were "breeds" of humans like dogs and cats? Actually, there are: smaller geographical breeding zone means smaller gene pool. But "breed" conotes a "special" temperment or "suitablility" for specialized use, rather than mere appearance.

Pretty rank...

Is this even news? Varied gene pool. Wow! Shocker! Hey, I'm still more interested in the origins of the Basque language, myself, than the genetics of the Basque people...

I thank God daily that I am a Welsh/Cornish/Irish/English mongrel, myself. Imagine if I were only Cornish! Why the results of my gene pool would surely make me predisposed to cob houses, piracy and tin mining with a lingering racial memory of pasties!
