ORIGINAL: vincentML Are you sure it is six times and not five times? Where is your data? What are your sources? Have you factored out economic and class differences? Have you even identified the areas of reference? No, you have not. No, you have no studies. You invent numbers to suit your imagined super genius. I quote these data from a newspaper article I read some years ago, referring to a scientific article. Jews and Muslims six times more lethal inherited defects than Dutch people and Dutch Antilleans five times as much. There are plenty of other sources indicating a very high incidence of such diseases in various populations named by me in this thread. You are boring me with your myopic nitpicking. If you are that interested in the matter, then hunt the sources yourself. I am not here to write a scientific article. (I may do so eventually elsewhere, but not here.) So the area of reference is the Dutch Antillies. A tiny population from which to extrapolate larger generalizations, I think. There are plenty of other sources named by you in this thread. They should be easily accessible to you then. But all you come up with is a newspaper article you read some years ago. Rhiiiiight!!! And their inherited defects are lethal. To which lethal alleles exactly are you referring? If they are lethal how are they observed? What is the life time of the phenotypes before they die off? Oh, are you able to provide assurance that Jews and Muslims are of the same socioeconomic class as the Christians in the population you site? That they have the same nutrition, education and medical care, and that these are not factors in the congenital appearance of "defects." The word "defects" rings a troubling bell. Wasn't that the term used by Hitler? I do apologize for boring you. It must be difficult being a supergenius as you are to have to tolerate us slow learners. It must also be annoying to have someone challenge the major premise of your thesis and for you not to be able to provide data or population studies to defend yourself. I doubt your Doctoral Thesis mentors would tolerate that sort of response from you. You have the option to block me if you wish. I wonder if a supergenius as yourself would stoop to such cowardly recourse. I plan to be around to remind readers from time to time that by your own admission you have no population studies as a basis for your theories and you fail to discount the impact upon congenital deformaties by environmental factors such as poverty, hunger, disease and lack of education. I can see no other conclusion but to regard your rant as just another racist pseudoscience unless of course you defend your thesis with a concise statement of its major points, the supporting data, and the discounted factors. Just pretend you are back in Grad School. Looking forward to reading that. Vincent
