Jerry Lee was more than just first cousin (once removed - it was his cousin’s kid) marriage.
Aww. Facts are stubborn things. Don’t let them get in the way of fun.
I read an article on why the Western world have wildly succeeded and the rest of the world largely hasn’t. One of the many things that happened was a Pope forbade marriage in the family. Specifically, cousins, but other relationships as well. The effect was to move Western society away from the clan structure and into a broader societal structure that stimulated business, travel and expansion. Another impact was that interbreeding for generations inside the same genetic group tends to lower intelligence, especially over hundreds of generations.
Relatives are one thing but did Jerry Lee ever say, “Women are for babies, boys are for pleasure”?
Post 9/11 I did some reading on Middle Eastern consanguinity. LOTS of issues there for sure.
As the UK continues its transition to Islam, the country will be bringing-in much of ‘cultural aspects’ of their new religion, on a step-by-step basis.
Exactly. This law is going nowhere. Even if it passes it won’t be enforced. Muslims are a law to themselves and they will ignore it or find a workaround like they do with multiple wives.
“Cultural Enrichers” = Islamic Sharia Law...coming soon to a Mosque near you. Maybe the UK’s red line with Islam will be on the Pub front. When the PALESOstinians and other “immigrants” begin banning alcohol then and only then will the new Crusades begin.
The UN spends astronomical sums globally in aid to congenitcally ‘challenged’ children.
Annually, more than one fourth of the money goes to Muslim countries where children of parents SO closely related that, anywhere else on earth, marriage would be prohibited.
...I do not see how the cited references can justify the authors’ assertion that: "The raised risk of infant and perinatal mortality among Pakistanis could be linked to consanguineous marriages, but this remains controversial". There is, in fact, no controversy about the risk of increased infant mortality. There is, however, a controversy about the medical profession’s response and their efforts to mitigate the risk because of the offence caused in communities by incorrect, unwarranted and irrelevant advice sometimes offered on traditional marriage customs (A H Bittles, A Community Genetics Perspective on Consanguineous Marriage, Community Genetics, 433, 2008)....
From 15 years ago.
“When the PALESOstinians and other “immigrants” begin banning alcohol then and only then will the new Crusades begin.”
Actually, many, if not most of the pubs in the UK have already shut down. While the state cause seems to be ‘energy prices’, one cannot help but notice that the timing of these shutdowns does line up with the UK’s transition process to an Islamic state.
In Pakistan, up to 50% of marriages in some places are first-cousin marriages
50% of UKs special education and disability expenses are spent on Pakistanis, who are about 3% of the population
Keep them out of Texas and away from chainsaws.
Who was that, Christopher Marlowe?
MP is criticised for saying that marriage of first cousins is a health problem
...Ms Cryer's comments came after Bradford paediatricians noted an unusually high rate of autosomal recessive disorders among children. Peter Corry, a paediatrician at the Bradford Royal Infirmary, said an “informal data collection” among colleagues showed that approximately 140 different autosomal recessive disorders had been seen locally in the past few years....
Let's hear it for cultural relativism!
BTW, using the UK's own stats, over 40% of London, for just one example, is now foreign born...
