Okay.

The article suggesting that natural blondes are being outcompeted by bottle blondes and thus are going to be disappearing from the breeding population (because, you see, men really prefer bottle blondes and women have no volition in theories like this) was bad enough on the irritating pseudoscientific drivel front.

The reply comment saying that "recessive" is not a random designator, but in fact means "disappearing from the population" makes me want to bang-head-on-wall-a-lot. Alleles, people, alleles!

Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

Why is it my lot in life to exasperatedly explain basic genetics to people on usenet?

I'm confused as to what aristocratic superiority is being displayed by anyone but you, O Enlightened Defender of the Underprivileged Masses. I have nothing against those who lack exposure to information. I have expressed no disdain for those who lack exposure to information. I merely have no patience with those who were exposed to the information and ignored it, or who resent it when people politely offer it (no, not condescendingly). I'm not involved in the thread in question, so I'm talking in general.

You were the one who started the whole "you're looking down on people!" business. You were the one who started throwing preconceived notions around about me, when you know nothing except a few comments which I have made right here. And, judging from the tone of your comments, you're neither uneducated nor "stupid" and so I don't know why you're acting like someone pissed in your Cheerios anyway.
