Bill C you are not taking this very seriously and I am very disappointed at you behaviour.
Move on dear fellow.

Perhaps I am being serious.

Perhaps then you should concentrate on the Selfishness of some of the forumers rather than going back to 1570 or 1960.

Behaviour of TCs have always been dictated by survival, whereas the average GC its all mine, go back to where you came from.
The real question behind it is simple. Are we born with it or do we acquire it along the way?

A gene for selfishness? - no evidence for this as far as I know. Tribalism figures to a large degree I suspect.

This is why I asked YFred to state his sources at the start of the thread! ... because he is clearly confused and suffering from a little knowledge, via Googling ... that is doing him no good ... but allowing us a laugh!

Genes! ... Selfish! ... something must be in the TCs favour!

You can Google that a Tomato is a fruit, but it takes experience to avoid putting it in a fruit salad!

How many Idiot TCs do we have at the moment ... Insan, YFred, halil, Doesnmatter, Mr H, Lovernomore, runaway ...

We will not mention the Settlers like VP etc

The point is very simple. My two 13 year olds understoood this.
Richard Dawkins wrote a book in the 70's about the selfish gene and explained that he is not using the word selfish as we would use it for a type of character as in a selfish person like some of the forumers. Now surely anybody who has a slightest interest in geneology, would be aware if this man and his book.

Judging by how many selfish people are on earth, can this be explained by it being passed on via nurturing. If it cannot be explained by purely being nurtured, then there must be a selfish gene which we have not discovered.

I'll give you a live example. A cuckoo bird lays its egg in a warblers nest.
How does the cuckoo chic now to throw the warblers eggs out of the nest.
It must have a selfish gene.

The proof is there.

You don't have to be a biologist to see it.

Idiot ...

Dawkins will be relieved he is BANNED in Turkey if that is the level of your understanding

Well that’s all right. He is available over here. Sod the Turks. They are nothing but a bunch of invaders anyway. The real amazement is that the cuckoo has invasive tendencies.

You still don't understand. I am saying he has got it wrong.
Explain to me how I am wrong.

Tnct = cuckoo's nest ?

[YFred]

Tnct = cuckoo's nest ?

Trust you to spot that.
Yes the similarity has not escaped me. However in my defence I claim that I am reformed. I have never tried to kill GCs.

Neither have I.

Turkey = cuckoo ?

However, what about this selfish gene?
If it is found, I would name it Y-Fred. Assuming that it is male. Otherwise it will be call X-Fred

Imo, it would be better to name it Eracles if it is male and if it is female Oracles would be fine.
