Trying not to Date a Cousin? There's an App for that...in Iceland.

This is actually a good idea for an isolated genetic group. Several engineers created an app tied to the ‘Íslendingabók‘ database to solve the problem.

On Nuala during Sheel and Darame's time, they actually have something similar. The Atares do not forbid marriage between two fertiles related within a certain number of degrees, but they DO limit how many children that couple can have between themselves.

Regular Nualans can have group marriages and give that child as many half-siblings as they can.

Three engineers made an app for the ‘Íslendingabók‘ database. People can now easily, and on the go, look up how they are related to other Icelanders. And a precious feature, using the bump technology, allows people that meet to just bump their phones together, to instantly see if they are too related to take things any further. The engineers’ slogan for this feature was: “Bump the app before you bump in bed”.

So true! And when you think about, the U.S. With its lower than standard level of education on top of it all, we as a country aren't doing that poorly when you start the race so badly handicapped.

France at least historically from what i was taught, always seemed to be an angry place. They beheaded leaders they didn't approve of. I haven't read that about the U.S. yet.

I have a feeling the next ten years here will be tense, unless younger citizens start voting against the GOP. Last gasp of old white men and women. We'll see how it goes.
