Women can have it all in Iceland

I recently caught the peace that CNN did on unwed mothers in Iceland. It showcases a completely different side of Iceland than what I had previously known. They have a very progressive culture and seem to be very well adjusted despite having almost 80% of their children born out of wedlock. One thing they have in common with us is their men spend long periods away from home on fishing boats. I wonder if all our oilfield and offshore workers had their children DNA tested what we would find out?

I think marriage is much harder in Iceland because they're literally all related. In fact there is a hugely popular dating app that focuses on matching you with as distant a relative as possible.

They actually have an app they can use to make sure they're not hooking up with their half-sibling. WTF?!

Can they have a tigerdroppings without rebeloke? If so, I would consider the move.

There is a colony of Hutterites in Montana whose gene pool is so small that they targeted anyone with blue eyes and blond hair. They would pay these men to have sex with their young women whose upper body was behind a curtain. This one guy got arrested by the Air Force after he bought way too crap that there was no way he could afford. He had made 25k in his efforts.

Just look at the trends here in the US to see this will end badly for future generations.

That question would be better asked for our military servicemen/women. Jody is a worldwide problem.
