    There is hope! If your daughter has green eyes she can still have children with green eyes.

    You forgot to post and example of where I said anything about not accepting.

    Yes I did. I beg your forgiveness if it was out of place. I said you may want to consider... But only have I notice the incongruence of lumping gay
    marriage with interracial marriage.

    Aw fuck it! Go screw yourself.

    Green eyes are green eyes....black people, Hispanics and Arabs are known to have them....green eyes don't dominate the gene pool at all from what I've seen but they happen and they are beautiful. Mixing the gene pool in my opinion creates some really beautiful people. I know my share ofNorthern European folks who don't have green eyes. Before the Vikings showed up, the Irish were dark haired, dark eyed folks. Just like the Vikings, soldiers and sailors for thousands of years have been mixing up the gene pool. Turns out my relatives in Cork Ireland were only Irish for 500 years...before that they were Dutch. Irish only really cared if they were Catholic or Protestant

    Nope! Age is the dominate factor.

    Blue eyes result of ancient genetic 'mutation'

    Frank Sinatra, Stephen Hawking, Marie Curie and Stephen Fry all owe their blue eyes to a genetic mutation that likely occurred between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago, researchers say.

    Scientists believe they have tracked down the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans on the planet today.

    “Originally, we all had brown eyes”, said Prof Hans Eiberg from the University of Copenhagen, who led the team.

    Blue eye colour most likely originated from the near east area or northwest part of the Black Sea region, where the great agriculture migration to the northern part of Europe took place in the Neolithic periods about six–10,000 years ago.

    “That is my best guess,” he said. “It could be the northern part of Afghanistan.”

    Yes, in so far as he doesn't have saggy genes.

    I think this is a great question. I have two, and they're far too young to date. I rue the day they reach dating age. I'm not looking forward to it by any means. But I do know it's inevitable, and they will someday date boys. So, from knowing that, I've got to accept it, as I'd rather they find someone they love and share a life with that person and enjoy the things this life has to offer.

    I'm only one person, so my effect on the potential statistical answer is but a tiny blip. But I hope they find that person, regardless of race/ethnicity because I have and I'm a better person for it and enjoy my life. As a father, it's on me to set an example to my daughters of what a man should be and provide as a potential partner, so that they should know what they are looking for in a potential partner. Race has nothing to do with what they should be seeking, and I hope I've been an example of that for them.

    In a few generations everyone will look like us dirty brown haired, brown eyed half-breeds.

    They never asked me if I was okay with it. I wonder how accurate this really is. How are 13% against it?

    wow...that's the definition of a stereotype if I've ever read one.....you forgot to measure their skull cavaties though. I don't believe for a minute that green eyed people are specially gifted in anyway shape or form. Sorry MarAzul....I've met a lot of talented, open minded, creative, intelligent and artistic folks who don't have green eyes. I'm sure there are plenty of green eyed folks with these attributes but I'm calling bullshit on them being gifted to think differently than others....the non green eyed folks we live, work and play around. Saying they don't allow distractions and focus without mental unrest is just ridiculous. My coworker of 15 years was a ginger with green eyes and a wicked temper...prone to mood swings. I see them as just common humans like the rest of us. Not special.

    Ok, you disagree with website.

    err, I didn't do this you know. If I did want to sort out peoples traits, I probably would use character type test, IQ test, and aptitude test. Not an eye color test. The Navy use to do a good job of this
    but they have to walk a tight rope these days.

    Bringing up race around racists tends to cause that to occur.
