He has no idea about that. - DC Jayhawk KU - 1/23 11:25:55

Well said. - Badird MU - 1/23 11:29:36

If WHAT is my intent? nm - hokie VT - 1/23 12:07:34

To remain willfully ignorant.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 1/23 12:14:19

The concept of race was created before DNA was studied. - TigerMatt STL - 1/23 11:09:00

Sure, but if hokie wants to live in his very clear, binary - MrBlueSky MU - 1/23 11:20:05

You just went deep in stupid. Sex is genetic based on - TigerMatt STL - 1/23 11:15:44
