    Well that sounds like something racists and white supremacists will latch onto and run with.

    Why is it? To be honest I didn't read much about this in humans, but it should work in birds and a read a few article summaries that suggest in humans the principles are similar. If you know more about it, I am all ears :)

    ...or course in case this is the answer to what I wrote.

    Gay friend of Dorothy.

    You are not Cain Velasquez. You are not the Grandfather. You are no-one who will get nowhere.

    You are unworhy of speech, let alone creativity with your hands, or different stances. You're a [] joke.

    You can go more homophobic and too explicit for MAP stuff deleted here I'll keep your secret safe.

    You will not pretend you're talking to me while you look at the girl in this way.

    You will die at the thought.

    Is that like a double negative? So a gay-friend of Dorothy is actually heterosexual?

    I wonder what "race" would have the "genetic personality traits" to produce this doofus?

    Because this is an incoherent rant devoid of any scientific grounding. Plus this:

    "you're as horizontal and vertical as the book."

    Baboon maybe? It's been a while since we've had a thread this fun.

    Also would a "gay friend of Dorothy" not be straight?

    I don't need to be a psychologist to see that you are fascinated and gripped by thoughts of interracial gay sex.

    It's okay man, just let go and stop torturing yourself about your feelings. Don't be afraid of your own desires.

    He does seem sorta preoccupied with that.

    Well, ok, end of discussion I guess :D
    I am not going to agree on it as this was basically the topic of a thesis I spent some time with and read quite a few papers all basically finding the same. I won't write here the principles underlying this, because I largely forgot and don't have time to read into it now. I think what I wrote is the general consensus. In birds. Since I saw a few articles summarizing this about humans, I have no reason to think it is all made up. Just my view
    :) I don't mean to say this in support of racism or whatever.

    I feel like something is going over my head.

    What's a puff?

    Please don't make me ask a teenager :confused:

    On the one hand I want him banned for being an utter pillock on this thread....On the other hand I am dying to hear him spout nonsense about Camel Spider fighting....

    You can see my dilemma

    It's derogatory UK slang for "homosexual", similar to "fag" in the US

    Depends on the species of bird. Humans are considerably more inbred than most other species due to a genetic bottleneck that reduced our population to around 23,000 people sometime in prehistory. Although there are genetic trends within populations of humanity, these don't match up with our social concepts of race, such that Australian Aborigines, Samoans, and African peoples all might be called 'black' despite the fact that there is considerable more genetic variation and differentiation within that group than between others.
