So tell us, Seal, if both parents carry a gene for a certain disease, you don't think their offspring have a better chance of getting that disease than someone whose parents were not cousins and might not carry that gene? As for a psychologist, have you ever thought that he might have studied up on what happens when first cousins marry? You are not as smart as you think you are, Seal, because there has been other research about it if you had bothered looking for it instead of just pulling up articles which you feel proves your point. As for bigoted, don't tell me you are not bigoted against another group of people. You certainly didn't hide it on other message boards. That is why you were so buddy buddy with B.J. David. I will give you the same advice I gave your alter ego Patrick. Find a group of Pakistanis and ask them if there are any problems in their families with so many first cousins marrying.Do you have a problem with his articles, Patrick? Maybe if you were a psychologist yourself you could have helped him with his studies on Muslim inbreeding, unless of course you feel it is quite OK to marry your first cousin. And evidently Patrick has no problem with what is going on in Europe with regard to Muslims, no matter how much trouble they cause in the countries they immigrated to. And, Patrick, you might know a few Muslims, but others have met them too and when they are honest, they will admit that they think many of their physical disorders in their family are as a result of cousins marrying cousins. I believe it is against the law in America to marry your first cousin. There was a study about an American family which was brought up in biology classes. There were so much intermarriage in this family that as a result generation after generation were a bunch of idiots. Do you think Americans would deny that this happened here the way you want to give the Muslims a pass? Tell you what, Patrick, find a group of Pakistanis and ask them if they don't marry their first cousins.
still waiting on nicolai sennels credenrials...
meanwhile, back to business. are you about the most stupid, bigoted, wee shite on the face of the planet or what? first of all, what makes you think a psychologist is capable of doing a generic study. it is so far removed from his area of expertise it is incredible.
as for reasearch, an attribute you accuse me of lacking, i sort of thought it was common knowledge that cousin marriages were not particularly deleterious. they occur in about 10% of the world population anyway...worldwide!!!
anyway...here are some easy to understand articles...oh, and please excuse me for using reputable sources. i realise you are not familiar with them...
