The land was stolen out from underneath your ancestor's feet, their villages razed and their society pressed to the most useless stretches of this country, and you claim that the order that did this are the rightful owners and citizens of this country, and that any of their descendants have the same right to the land? This is utter nonsense and I would expect you to recognize the dissonance in your life when you rail against immigrants. With the exploitation of workers in mexico and south america by sattelizing US companies , and the huge toll that has been exacted from them by military and economic pressure, I think their citizens have some cause to attempt to wrest some reciprocation from this land.

and, by the way, your rant about unemployment was truly racist.

was not that this flag doesn't play a part, but that it's being treated by many as a tell all, which I think is hardly supported. Although I do admit that there is strong evidence to support it's involvement in mate selection, the further claims I think are overboard. And, when people assume these further claims, I object to the technology for screening for the flag being used as a sort of relationship crystal ball.

I have to admit that some of the findings are compelling. Complexity abounds in human behavior and genetics, though, and the idea that this marker tells all seems bizarre and quasi religious.

I didn't know feminism was a chemical compound

The science on this is still fairly recent, and as such, the claim that there is strong data linking these gene pairings with the longevity of a relationship, and even more doubtful, the lower probability of mates cheating on eachother, seems spurious to say the least. There are so many other factors at play here, a single corner of the genetic code can't justifiably be held responsible for the success of a relationship. At least not without comprehensive several decade studies, and even then, it's still one abstraction among many abstractions (which, for the most part, we are still in the dark about the true function and nature of).

More troubling, though, is the abandonment of instinct in the dating world. When did we become so divorced and mistrusting of our senses and reason that we have come to rely on machines to screen possible mates, especially for a genetic trait that we can discover ourselves with our olfactory sense that we're equipped with from birth. And the argument that you're dating blind online doesn't work, because these traits aren't only going to be used online to determine the fitness of a prospective partner. Many companies want to build handheld scanners that test for these immune system flags. A negative match might mean that someone's faith in you as a partner is heavily diminished, despite your being compatible with them in a host of other ways.

junk science; throw it out. trust your instincts and rapport with someone. a good immune system gene pairing does not a good relationship make
