Gay couples should be allowed to adopt, period!

Blacks should not be profiled, I believe one of the reasons the percentage is the way it is, is because they are treated unfairly in the criminal justice system.

Arabs should not be treated differently. Just as, all people that look like Timothy McVee should not be profiled.

And Wire taping is wrong , period.

If I had a male relative that wanted to spend a lot of alone time with my young son, then yes I would not trust that relative.

What is the intent of the men that want some alone time with an unrelated child?

It makes NO SENSE!!!!!!! for them to want to do that.

But to compare that with a black person being arrested for driving around after dark and being stopped by police  is completely not the same. EVERYONE has a right to drive a car, board a plane or feel their private conversation should be just that, private.

Agreed

Agreed, except I think its more about economic disparity.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Legal wire taping with a warrant is fine.

Profiling is done to protect people.  It targets a specific group generally for the acts of a subset of that group.  Based on the above, where you establish that you do not believe ethnicity should be a basis for profiling, how do you justify and distinguish your position on gender-based profiling? Or is your position based on fear?  Here is a question posed to Greg in the thread linked above.  Based on your suspscion of men around kids, do you mistrust unmarried, childless male elementary school teachers?

You think its strange that men enjoy playing with kids or children's company?  I guess you think the big brother program is for the birds, huh?

No I do not, but if that teacher was taking my son on private trips I would be concerned and not allow it.

Big Brothers program, is very strict and do extensive screening of the men wanting to join, are they profilling? I know this because my cousin was in the program.

Are those on here saying that people that molest children, don't look for and become involved in programs where children are present? 

Geoff and Al do you have kids?

Do a childless man's motives come into question with you Jodi if he wants to
be a Big Brother, teacher, tutor, Scout leader, pediatrician, etc., or just when
he wants to be alone with a child?

If he does, he must be a horrible human being.

Off with his head.
