I believe this to be true as I am a natural redhead and have a borderline unsafe tolerance for pain.

There's also a study where redheads typically have less of a clotting ability so any sort of injury where you bleed, you tend to bleed out in unsafe amounts as well.

When I had my kid, I didn't have any sort of pain medication or was really offered any because of the redhead thing but they were trying to get all sorts of clotting (I think) medication into me as they said that redheads are known bleeders and were worried about that.

No pain sensation = No feeling, ergo, no soul.
Known bleeders = God wants them extinct.

Sounds like incriminating evidence to me.

Why wait a hundred years for them to be bread out.

I figure we can get done with the extermination within a few years and make a bit of profit on it by selling hunting licenses.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_hair

Today, red hair is most commonly found at the northern and western fringes of Europe; it is associated particularly with the people located in the United Kingdom and in Ireland (although Victorian eraethnographers claimed that the Udmurt people of the Volga were "the most red-headed men in the world").[9] Redheads are common among Germanic and Celtic peoples.

Redheads constitute approximately 4 percent of the European population.[10] Scotland has the highest proportion of redheads; 13 per cent of the population has red hair and approximately 40 per cent carries the recessive redhead gene.[11] Ireland has the second highest percentage; as many as 10 per cent of the Irish population has red, auburn, or strawberry blond hair.[12]

Extinction hoax

See also: Disappearing blonde gene

A 2007 report in The Courier-Mail, which cited the National Geographic magazine and unnamed "genetic scientists", said that red hair is likely to die out in the near future.[31] Other blogs and news sources ran similar stories that attributed the research to the magazine or the "Oxford Hair Foundation". However, a HowStuffWorks article says that the foundation was funded by hair-dye maker Procter & Gamble, and that other experts had dismissed the research as either lacking in evidence or simply bogus. The National Geographic article in fact states "while redheads may decline, the potential for red isn't going away".[32]

Red hair is caused by a relatively rare recessive gene, the expression of which can skip generations. It is not likely to disappear at any time in the foreseeable future.[32]

Who cares if they're extinct. They're going to complete DNA switching anyways in the next 100 years, so if you REALLY wanted a ginger, you could just ask for one and get it lol . . .
