So what is your point? Autism and sociopathy are totally different things...

Which is why I think they should just change "sociopath" to "psychopath" and call real anti-social disorders like Autism sociopaths.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So in the one thread that a Loonbeam self-hate rant would be appropriate, he is nowhere to be found?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That strikes me as a rather odd comment. Even with Moonbeam, a poster has not chosen to post in this thread yet.

That strikes me as a rather odd comment. Even with Moonbeam, a poster has not chosen to post in this thread yet. But trying to infer a reason is something only a fool would assert. Maybe Moonbeam is off saving the world somewhere else today or what ever. I have no idea and the to post or not post question is Moonbeam's and Moonbeam's alone.
But trying to stuff various anandtech posters back into their crackerjack box every time they say something stupid is more than a 24/7/365.25 full time job, and throwing pearls at swine thankless as well.
Moonbeam has more than does his bit in MHO. Its why he has elite after his name.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Poor Moonie has posted twice in this thread. Don't worry Moon, I still see ya 😉

You are right Earl and my bad, I checked all posts after the OCGuy one and no Moonbeam. So I missed his two on page one. Well, time to slink off and eat some worms.
Errr, Ashkenazi Jews are Mediterranean. It literally means German Jews.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews
Again, people with "Ashkenazi" genetic markers are all over Europe. The people were originally nomadic as they had to flee their original lands in the Middle east. The markers that set apart Ashkenazi Jews in Europe though are common markers in the middle east. Bleh, it's genetic traits brought out by a region.
I think the classification name they are using for that particular set of genetic markers is pretty dumb though.
The fact is all humans share the same 95% of genetics unlike any other species on this planet. We all share a very narrow common heritage that most scientists speculate was due caused by a super volcano that killed off other human types around the globe and the current homo-sapiens are what survived. Anyhow, I'm digressing a bit.
Does it really matter that Hitler had some shared genetic markers from humans commonly from the ME and Africa? Considering how many people in this world do as well without even knowing it? So many people have so many recessive genes that get passed to them from so many generations back that they wouldn't even know they had those traits. Does that make Hitler hypocritical? No. However, it still doesn't mean he was any less insane.
Which is why I think they should just change "sociopath" to "psychopath" and call real anti-social disorders like Autism sociopaths.
If i am not wrong , Ashkenazi Jews are more from central to east Europe.
Sephardi Jews are from south Europe and farther down, the Mediterranean.

Please JOS, don't take my post wrong, but I note you said, "Actually, Ashkenazi Jews are mostly semitic in origin and their (or our) heritage is from pretty much exactly where Israel is today.
Sephardic Jews have a basis of the same origin, the difference is where our two groups of the same semitic origin started to procreate with others...
Does that clear anything up? Yeah, i do get my own heritage but then again you can trace my relatives in a straight line from both my fathers and mothers side."
Well JOS we all know you are British, and of all the gin joint countries Jews wound up in after the second diaspora, why should not GB have their share of Jews? And truth be told, and despite the fact that my country, the USA won our independence from you Brits 200+ years ago, much of that democratic intellectual underpinning of the American Revolution originated in England and France.
But still, JOS, as a possibly British Jew, I would really be incredibly impressed if you could trace your ancestry all the way back to the second diaspora.
But that begs another question JOS, are you the person you now are because you are a Jew, or because of the fact you are just another member of politically divided GB?
Jews are Africans. Isreal is in Africa. More or less. Well Isreal is not really in Africa, but there are a lot of African Jews. Joseph lived in Africa and his decendents, the tribe of Ephraim lived in Isreal and Joseph had Egyptian wives. So if you are of the tribe of Ephraim you might be at least part Egyptian.
Maybe William Gaatges maybe misses some of the point by saying, "If i am not wrong , Ashkenazi Jews are more from central to east Europe.Sephardi Jews are from south Europe and farther down, the Mediterranean.
Well the whole damn point is, some 1800+ years ago, the all Powerful Roman empire said upon the Jews, then almost one hundred per cent concentrated in Israel, don't go away mad, just go away or else. Some went Northeast and hooked all over, some went east and hooked back Southwest, none went directly west because that would landed then in the water, but point being the Jews dispersed widely in an event called the second diaspora.
Why should there be two or more types of genetic Jews now when they were genetically homogeneous 1800 years ago?
Or is it behavioral distinction now? Because Jews who wound up in Northwestern Europe tended to believe in democratic principles and Jews descended from Yemeni parents had no such democratic principles in their upbringing?
And modern day Israel is no different, and for what its worth, there are not enough
Ashkenadi Jews in Israel to counterbalance the Israeli crazies. The Russian Jews and other Shepardi Jews who support the settler parties and somehow manage to have a bare majority in Israel politics.
IMHO, there would be reason for hope for a just mideast peace if Jews with democratic traditions managed to get control, but sadly the Israeli trend line is just the opposite now.
Heh... no.
You can't derive truth from fictionary tales, son.
Egypt was a very large place. Joseph united the upper and lower nile. Call it a fairy tale if you want. Troy use to be considered a fairy tale as well. Kind of like the fairy tale of the crusades and the fairy tale of hitler.
