And yet I don't think any of it had to do with history.....:confused: But I find that 00.01% of us, has made us completely different from one another..... Very fascinating..... Very amazing, interesting, sad.....
9mm Avenger Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Amazing...That point 01% effects us...How we act, who we are...Creepy....What would it be like if we were all 100% different?

[/B][/QUOTE] Well then that would probably mean stuff like: I'd like stuff that you wouldn't, and stuff like that. But I don't think it's possible to be 100% different..... Maybe 99.9%. I dunno, all this is confusing me now..... :confused: :confused: :confused:

This is all thanks to the Human Genome Project. They found that the difference between say, a black man and a white woman, is the same percentage difference as between two black men. Meaning that, of course...race and sex has nothing to do with anything. :)[/size]
Delian Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Wow...Very interesting...that kinda throws the whole "I'm an individual" thing out of balance, considering that we're 99.9% identical. Hang on a sec...I might sound like a bimbo for asking, but does that mean that identical twins are like 100% exactly the same?

I mean walking down the street and saying to someone, "Hey did you know that 98.7% of your DNA structure is the same as an ape?" I mean very funny.[/size][/color]
DeathKnight Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 [color=crimson]That must be one hell of a .01%... I mean look at me... I'm more different than anyone I know... o_O;;;...[/color]

Charles Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Sad fact? I say it's a terrific fact! Look at it this way: If humans can't get along based on a few differences such as color and culture, do you really think we'd get along if there were MAJOR differences? It seems kind of like a science fiction book if you think about it. If there were people with horns or wings, or even scales we'd have big problems. Many people are too ingnorant to respect the differences in others or just too immature. If we have a hate group in existence today that's based on bashing people with darker skin than themselves, I shudder to think what we would have if everyone was truly different. The only sad thing is when you realize that in a world where we're raised to believe that we're unique, people actually hate one another based on differences.

sexyjessie4 Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 :confused: That is pretty crazy to think about...I mean, if we are all that similar, then why should anyone think that they are better than another person when really, they are just like that person??? Okay maybe that didn't make sense to y'all...but it sounded good in my head.

[/B][/QUOTE] ok del,u seem confused,let me clear this up genetically,99.9% of us is the exact same,meaning the other .1% is what makes us look and act different,and about ur twin question,nobody is 100% the same,they would still have their differences
Darkness Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 The fact in general just goes to show how petty and ignorant people can be. Being black and growing up in a pretty nice neighborhood has caused me to learn about racism firsthand. I used to get mad and fly off the handle, but now I pity them. I like to judge people off of how they act, not what they are or how they look.
