Blood Type Personality Pseudoscience

A little rant on the ridiculous Japanese notion of blood type dictating personality. Sorry if the sound got a little quiet from my thumb for a bit.

Don't ever use the words "what not" it's a hiphop slang term and white persons need to avoid all associations with hiphop.

unless of course you wish to be labled a wigger.

@azkeyz 1. Don't tell me what to do. 2. you sound like a racist 3. I don't know what "what not" has to do with hip hop, nor do I care what you or anyone else wants to label me as.

I think you are very stupid, very arrogant and quite rash in your judgements. Current science cannot prove everything. dont think current science can prove everything. BTW, FYI most whites are either A or O and therefore it is not useful to them but in Japan and Korea, all the blood types are evenly distributed(A, AB,B,O) you are an igornat asshole.

[RisuMiso]

@willy517 Don't blame me for your inability to filter out bad ideas. You are correct, science cannot prove everything, that's not the purpose. For example, if you said "hey science, go prove santa exists", it wouldn't happen.

As for your second bit of non-sense, most people are A+ or O+, not just white people. and all blood types are not evenly distributed. Asians (listed data is +Rh) O 39%, A 27%, B 25%, AB 7%. Caucasians O 37%, A 33%, B 9%, AB 3% - Data from the red cross web page.

@RisuMiso you are so stupid...do some research( blood types and distribution among different natioanlities). btw I am a Harvard graduate..what about you?

[RisuMiso]

@willy517 I guess Asian wasn't specific enough for you. here from another site (bloodbook) Japanese O 30%, A 38%, B22%, AB 10%. This would show that Japanese people are also mostly O and A blood types. I'm not sure what you are trying to prove to me by saying "it's not useful to them", what isn't useful to them?

Learn to form an argument of some sort, and do as you say "some research" and back yourself up with a fact or two. They probably teach that at Harvard.

I think the whole determining ones personality-type is stupid. Whether it's Astrology, Blood Type, Numerology, what your shit smells like, etc.

James Randi debunked the whole idea a while ago. The descriptions are all so general and vague for the supposed personality-types. Everyone shares some part of all the characteristics listed for each blood type. Perception is reality. Blood type ain't gonna make a difference.

I definitely agree, these believers are totally ignorant

[figureskatingbug]

i think the blood type just describes your personality briefly, but each person differs from the brief definition.

I don't know if anyone here actually applied it to themselves, but I did. I'm O, and in the middle of reading that, I was like: WOW! THAT IS SO ME. Except some factors like "O types r always late" and "O types r messy".

i'm an idiot... well then you're a big fat meanie face!

Sorry but the whole blood type personality start with the Germans during the Nazi era and as usual the Japanese Ape everything Europeans do or think. Well I'll give a Type A+ for those Japs admiration of Hitler.

Man ppl are pretty harsh to you on this video. I think that with the limited amount of time that we've as human have been able to view ourselves we don't really know what we are. The negative positive aspects of bloodtype seem to have a matching property. We are still finding out about ourselves. The best question is why do ppl have different blood types? There is a reason for everything.

[HenryRMiller]

Maybe there is a gene on the same chromosome as the blood type gene that has a slight influence on the way your brain works. Even if there is such a gene, its effect on your personality would be negligible due to all the other factors, but it is far more plausible than astrology.

By the way, 1970s is only when the theory was revived and introduced into popular culture. It started in the 20s as a serious theory among researchers, but interest faded in the 30s when proven to be unscientific.

@willy517 Not everything but it can prove that blood type has nothing to do with any objective trait of a person, as a matter of fact. Many things it can't, this it can.
