It has been claimed at least a couple times now that the greatest genetic variation lies within the Caucasian race. This is untrue. The greatest genetic diversity exists in Africa. From the Wikipedia page on Human genetic variation:
quote:
...Africa contains the most human genetic diversity anywhere on Earth...
...
For example, in addition to having higher levels of genetic diversity, populations in Africa...
...
The recent African origin theory for humans would predict that in Africa there exists a great deal more diversity than elsewhere, and that diversity should decrease the further from Africa a population is sampled.
...
Sub-Saharan Africa has the most human genetic diversity...
Here's a link to a list of scholarly articles about Africa and human genetic diversity.

Moderator Request
Less bickering, more discussion.
I much prefer that my moderation requests be understood before I take any action, and so I have in the last year or so given lengthy moderator interaction and feedback in some threads. But they proved to be ineffective (they seemed to be taken as opportunities to work around my moderation efforts), and I don't think they were much appreciated by most people.
So I won't be engaging in lengthy and detailed explanations and feedback anymore. I think everyone knows I like civility, rationality, constructive approaches, and focus on the topic, and knows how I define those terms. The Forum Guidelines have only ten short items that attempt to express the spirit of the how discussion should be conducted here, so please reference those if you have questions.
Please, no replies to this message.

That's enough grenade tossing. See Message 78 in case the urge strikes to continue in this vein or argue with me.

Moderator Request to Concentrate on the Topic
I think recent discussion has drifted off the topic. The topic is not whether Islam is a religion of violence. It's about the importance we should assign to keeping the US and the countries of Europe as majority Caucasian countries. From the opening post:
Our politicians are trying to maintain our populations through immigration and as we can see in Europe, this is not doing the white race any good at all.
...
Why are white governments not promoting more white births instead of more immigration?
Why are white people not fighting the trends that are making us a quickly disappearing race?
Are whites so self-centered that we will eventually all loose our countries to those of other colors?
In the last sentence, I think Greatest I Am meant "selfless," not "self-centered."
A more appropriate thread for discussing whether Islam is a religion of violence might be Should Canada and the U.S. tolerate an intolerant Islam?. Please, in this thread, let's return to discussion of the topic.

Re: Moderator Provided Information
Hi Greatest I am,
Two points:
  1. You're replying to my Message 35 where I pointed out that the greatest human genetic diversity resides in the continent of Africa. If you'd like to rebut this then please do not rely upon bare links and bald declarations. Please follow the Forum Guidelines:
    1. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.
  2. You posted a sequence of extremely brief replies that quoted nothing from the messages you were replying to (making your responses difficult to understand), and that contained only bare links and/or bald declarations. Please follow the Forum Guidelines:
    1. Points should be supported with evidence and reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.
This is a debate/discussion thread, not a "declare my position" thread. Continuing in this way will bring suspensions.

Greatest I am Suspended 24 Hours
Hi Greatest I am,
In my last post I asked you to quote something from the messages you're replying to so the context can be understood, and to follow these rules from the Forum Guidelines:
  1. Points should be supported with evidence and reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.
  2. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.
You've just posted a sequence of replies that don't follow my request about quoting or these rules from the Forum Guidelines, so I'm suspending you for 24 hours. See you tomorrow.
About your Message 199, the logical flaw in your argument is too obvious to bother describing. I'm ruling that you should not again repeat your claim of greater genetic diversity for "whites" than any other race until you can offer valid supporting evidence.

Two Moderation Requests
  • Please get on topic. The recent discussion about the nature of God based upon selected Biblical accounts should cease. Arguments about how much or little various forms of Christianity contributed to western European countries' success as world powers and economic engines should also cease
  • Don't be personal. Your fellow members are not the topic of this thread. I know this can be difficult sometimes. For example, someone might relate their conversion story, and so subsequent posts become about them, and if some of those posts become personally insulting then it violates the Forum Guidelines. Treat your fellow members with respect. Attack the arguments, the rationale, the data, the evidence - not the person.
I've also seen a great many posts that consist only of "declarations of what I think is true" with little or no supporting evidence or argument, not just here but in several threads. If you're about to post a message that has around three or less sentences, consider for a moment whether it contains enough substance to justify adding it to a rational and sober discussion.

You're again doing the same thing I've cautioned you about twice now (see Message 218 and Message 226). See you next week.
