Am I A CAC? I RECEIVED My AncestryDNA Results TODAY (UPDATE: Results ARE ON PAGE 1)

I was skeptical, but now y'all got me thinking....

Still don't like the idea that a man was convicted because HIS FATHER took one of these tests though... not that I'm out here trying to commit crazy crimes but that just leads to a slew of questions.

I don't like it either, but if you do a crime you have to pay for the crime you have done.

A crime is simply a man made law. It was once a crime for women and black people to vote... You vote, you should pay?
Not to mention, what makes these people so holy to say "WE shall be the ones to take your freedom in the name of 'justice'....."

I digress for the sake of the original topic.

The way I look at it is, if they wanted to get you, they will. I rather be concerned with learning about myself and potential health risks, than worry about something with a low probability of happening. You can have it deleted from their database as well afterwards.

Y'all right. If they want you, they want you... I'm being over the top.

Eat a well balanced diet (avoiding processed foods as much as possible), avoid stress, exercise and you'll be alright. Don't buy into the whole genetic health TOO much. If your family ate nothing but trash and developed heart issues it doesn't mean you have no hope, it just means you began life at a deficit because of their choices. Healthy choices should be priority even if you don't have these worries.

I don't buy the deleted thing because it may help with their future research, just like I don't buy that Google/Facebook get rid of all your information. But again, you guys have made me view it differently and I may end up doing the test, who knows.

I got one too a while back but I haven't submitted a sample yet cuz i've been too busy

as far as people having my DNA and whatnot, I've been in the military so they BEEN had my shyt

either way, I still think it's dope to know something about my heritage

Let cac corporations determine your ancestry, brehs.

And this is literally what they are doing with these "offers" while collecting the DNA of the gullible in the meantime.

Genetic Ancestry Testing · Sense about Science

David Balding, Professor of Statistical Genetics, UCL Genetics Institute: "Be wary of news items about genetic history - that someone famous is related to the Queen of Sheba or a Roman soldier. Often these come from PR material provided by genetic testing companies and can be trivial, exaggerated or just plain wrong. Genetic relatedness isn't very meaningful beyond a handful of generations away, because the amount of DNA you share with a very distant relative is negligible compared with the huge amount of DNA we all share from our common ancestors."

UPDATE1: I sent off my DNA Sample yesterday. I spit my saliva in the tube and put the solution in. Can't wait to see who all my relatives are. Because I might reach out to them
