I’ve done that many times.
www.humanbranch.com - it’s about two pages long.
Bleh
A human branch is defined by post #184
But that’s not the way an argument works. To argue, you have to:
- clearly state your premise
- provide evidence.
Until you do both of these things, I’ll just assume that your arguments are the usual racist bullshit. I don’t care if this consitutes multi-racialist anti-human-branching zim-zam-alicious hatespeak, I just have no interest in arguing with someone who won’t argue fairly.
wow, a reasonably intelligent post, amazing.
Item #3 would be closest regarding how we should or should not encourage people to reproduce.
A parent can encourage whatever they choose to encourage upon their children, obviously.
Educational systems should simply teach people about human genetic branching, we should openly discuss it and not fear it.
Today the extreme multi-racialists spit on it.
We should embrace it, enjoy it. People who don’t wish to do this should be respected by those who do and visa versa… mutual respect.
The discrimination link sums of reproductive decision pretty well. I’ll just paste it here and it’s on the definitions page of the website:
Discrimination: This is a fascinating word because it can mean something very positive or very negative. Usually such words are called opposites but the word discrimination is kind of an opposite of itself.
The positive meaning is: 1. The ability to notice and value quality; the ability to appreciate good quality or taste.
The negative meaning is: 2. Treating people differently through prejudice; unfair treatment of one person or group, usually because of prejudice about race, ethnic group, age group, religion, or gender.
How does this apply to human branching? Obviously we should all discriminate when selecting partners to create children with (definition #1). Obviously we should not discriminate against people because they are of a different branch (definition #2). If a person chooses to mate within or very near their branch, they will discriminate within the branch to find the best partner. If they choose to mate with a distant branch, they will discriminate to find the best partner in that distant branch. Some people will not give genetics one thought and rather, they’ll simply discriminate among whomever happens to be in their proximity zone. If the demographics contain many distant branches living together in the same proximity zone, this type of discrimination will often lead to loving “multi-racial” (multi-branched) relationships. If the demographics contain only closely related branches, this type of discrimination will lead to loving relationships within these close branches.
Technically, if an Irish mates with a Swede, both relatively “pure” verities with heritage going back many thousands of years, this is a multi-branched relationship. But it’s all relative to genetic distance. It’s however we wish to think about it, but it’s also precisely defined. Every time a human mates, they mate with somebody that has an exact, calculable aggregate genetic distance from themselves.

Calling someone a racist because they choose to mate “norhern european” would be an example.
There are plenty more and this is a very, long and complicated discussion that I’m going to avoid during this sitting. Plenty of time for that in the future.
Depeding on how you meant that, that could be a prime example of hate speech.
Well, finally. I thought I had lost you completely.
I’m sure by now you’ve seen post #184, and I won’t bother making it big and bold. Hopefully that clears it all up.
You were going on “anti-racist” diatribes and it was disburbing me… why would I want to talk to somebody like that?
At this point you seem to finally understand that I’m interested in science, and human branching - that’s it.
Have a wonderful night everybody, I’m going to go sleeping now!
Hellothere
[Moderator Hat ON]
Oh hell, I’ve had enough. Hellothere is banned for repeatedly violating rules in GD in a very short time, plus I do not think s/he is every going to contribute anything here. MelC, however, as long as a poster is in GD, you will NOT insult them.
[Moderator Hat OFF]
And so the world is safe from the threat of genetic branching.
But… for how long…?
Human branching, neo-eugenics, genetic freedom, by whatever name, we the members of the Straight Dope shall be there to combat it, in whatever vague, semi-formed, incoherent and rambling shapes it may (or may not) take.
'til next time, keep up the frequent mating with members of other races, thereby guaranteeing a world of… um, high condom sales.
(Sheesh, a guy goes to a movie and all people can do is talk about fornicating with children behind his back? How weak an argument is THAT?)
((Thanks for letting me reply before closing the thread, mods :-p))
Wow, my first telling off.
Point noted.
Wonder what Hellothere is doing now?
