    Perhaps they're not as attractive because the brain knows it cannot tell if the eyes are dilated or not. Whereas, with lighter eyes, it is much more obvious--because you can see the pupils much more clearly.


    That's interesting stuff. I can't believe I've never heard of this before. The most I've heard about pupils is that you can tell if a person is lying or not.

    Wow, that's awesome. I'm definitely going to use this. Even though I have blue eyes, it will probably be hard for people to use this against me. My eyes are very dark blue. There are other signs that indicate sexual interest that are more obvious, like body language. Usually if a woman is interested, she'll unconsciously play with her hair. She'll give a lot of lingering eye contact. It's not just the eye contact either. It's the way they look at you that makes you feel indescribably amazing, especially if it's a hot chick. I think all guys know that look. There are lots of other things too.

    I'm the biggest goon at picking up subtle body language. At my older job in retail, I would often make small talk with the customers. My friends at the job would always tell me things like, "that chick wanted you! She was playing with her hair [and so on]." And I'm like, "Shit!" Ahh well. I guess I'm more aware of those things now. It certainly does not come naturally. My problem is that I listen to what people say. That's erroneous.

    Well dude. If you're making a query that asks for a list of prisoners with blue eyes, doesn't follow that they're all going to have blue eyes?

    M*W: I don't know where you got your statistics, but as a blue-eyed person I will regret it when we're all gone.

    In Texas, however, 95% of the inmates are Black with brown eyes.

    He did not come to his conclusion through any statistics, studies or through any logical, reasonable means.

    Oh. Well you'll have to forgive me, because that's not what you said. You said:
    While you're correct that most of them have blue eyes, there are several others with green and brown eyes.

    This is the conclusion you came to:
    Here's why you're an idiot for coming to that conclusion. It's an extremely small sample of prisoners in Northern Ireland. This is the North Ireland Prison System! The vast majority of the people in Ireland have blue eyes! And now you're making a conclusion that blue eyed people are "more susceptible to commit more violence than that of brown eyed people," as if it's official information and as if you came to the conclusion in a reasonable way. It couldn't be further from the truth.

    Dude, I don't know what to say. You're stupid. Did your mother not breastfeed you?

    Ok. now stop being rude. I never cursed at anyone around here and never will and it is against the rules of SF community to act in violent way on another specific member of the community and call him names and such. Did you also notice that besides showing the ireland community jail prisoners' names I also supplied the American jail prisoners' names? Please take that into account.

    It's still not nearly enough information to warrant your conclusion. That's why people conduct studies. So data can be analyzed and so meaningful deductions can be made from them. If you want to be convincing you should cite studies that support your thesis.

    You are forgetting about Yemen and India (not blue eyes).

    One should not worry about the blue-eyed trait dying out, for what will eventually happen in the US is what occurred in Brazil and many other Latin American countries. We will have a continuum of race traits from black hair and black eyes to blond hair and blue eyes. Nordic traits won't die out for if people mix together lets say pretty much at random then every possible combination of traits will be expressed in a large enough population, with the recessive traits expressed at same rate they are now (worldwide). The only difference is that people with rare traits will be spread out.

    If we review how recessive genes work:

    Recessive Genes

    We see that in order for a person to express the recessive trait, they must inherit the genes from both parents. People might think this is the end of blue eyes, not really, the gene for blue eyes is not destroyed it is always passed on it is just not expressed physically. If enough people in a random sample inherit the blue eye gene then eventually two people with the gene will produce children with blue eyes.

    Hispanics

    Hispanics are underrepresented to a greater extent in the Reserve components compared to the active duty components with just 9 percent among NPS accessions in the Selected Reserve compared to 12 percent for active duty NPS accessions. Hispanics represent 17 percent of the comparable civilian population of 18-24 year olds.

    Hispanics make up just over 4 percent of officer accessions into the Selected Reserve, compared to nearly 7 percent ratio among 21-35 year old college graduates in the non-institutional civilian population.

    just women, african americans, and hispanic

    (which is odd because hispanics aren't mexican)

    Local Hispanics React To Military Recruits In Their Communities
    Medill Chicago News Service — Northwestern University
    May 24, 2005

    "Hispanics currently make up about 13 percent of the active Army, up from 10 percent in 2000. That year, 16.4 percent of the total U.S. population between the ages of 17 and 21 was Hispanic, according to the U.S. Census Bureau".

    So doesn't take away from the original point, i actually found out there are more black people then hispanic, which both easily over take the amount of white people. Which is kinda funny, because white people make up the majority of this country. While black people are on the the smallest minorities.

    Whites Replacing Blacks in U.S. Army
    by James Dunnigan
    March 13, 2006

    While the U.S. Army has managed to continue recruiting sufficient new troops since September 11, 2001, there has been a shift in who is joining. More whites, Hispanics and other minorities are joining, but fewer blacks. The war on terror, and especially the war in Iraq, has been unpopular in the Afro-American community, and this unpopularity has been promoted by many black political and religious leaders. Traditionally, a disproportionate number of blacks have joined the army, mostly in non-combat units (about 85 percent of the jobs in the army are non-combat). Although blacks of military age comprise 14 percent of the population, 22.7 percent of army recruits were black in 2001. This went down to 19.9 percent in 2002, 16.4 percent in 2003 and has recently been 13.9 percent.
