Yes, that was a mistake; I wasn't just talking about males.

Lineage is very unPC nowadays.

Thank you for your kind words..I try to search out articles that I think people would enjoy and spark good debates....I really don't know what I have done to some freepers that want to attack me personally....I will try and not let it affect me negatively...

If you've ever been on the African/Zimbabwean thread, you'll know the kind of vitriol directed at Africans of which I speak (or write).

True -- and that's so ignorant considering that Africa is not one mono-entity but consists of the North Africans who have mostly been associated with Europe for Millenia, and the east Africans like Ethiopia etc. who have had culture way before Europeans did. OF course, west and Southern Africa did lag behind a bit in civilisation, but just because someone's ancestors were great or not doesn't reflect on the descendents -- as Mussolini found out!

...and who appointed you the thread-nazi?

[USMMA_83]

tough...deal with it...life's rough...and some of us, namely me!, really could care less what offends you.

[USMMA_83]

not spots, but rather dots. Or, Indian not Injun.

[Havoc]

Not to worry, just commenting on the issue in general. Nothing was aimed at you ;)

bttt

It is considered profanity.

If you don't want to abide by the rules of FR, then don't post. I thought to allow you to respond in a way that reflected some class and character on your part. I see that you'd rather respond like a juvenile instead: "neener neener, you can't make me."

Fine. You can deal with the Admin Mods.

Since when is christsake considered profanity? Ok, let me also state that the world I'm from (retired US Navy, and former Navy Seal)...christsake is not profanity. In your world...God only knows what made up rules govern your life.

Nope, not bunk. The descendants of kohanim who have been tested (from all over the world, including the Lemba tribe in Africa) have a marker ("Y A P haplotype" is what it's called, if memory serves) on their Y chromosome showing they're descended from the same man. Traditionally, they are all descended from Aaron, brother of Moses. This relationship rubbishes the "British Israelite" and other racist movements (for those who didn't previously regard them as rubbish) and also "The 13th Tribe", another book of rubbish which claims that European Jews are descended from converts, not from the Biblical tribes.
