Here's a handy article:

"The child was visiting when the incident occurred, and told a neighbor that
the suspect had been drinking when the alleged abuse occurred"

Huh. A relative, perhaps?

Did the "Bullshit call out detector" go off, is that an excuse, it was a man that did it and as I said, I read these type of articles almost daily in my paper and if that makes me leery of men that wants to be alone with a child then, I will stand by that thought .

Tom excellent article!!!!!!!!!

Extra concern is one thing. Prejudice is something entirely different, Jodi.

I don't hate ALL men, in fact I thinks men are pretty damn cool. That is why I like coming here.

Did you read the thread?

I did, but I am going back and reread it. I just think to call someone out on another thread for something as wrong as barring Gay couples from adopting, when that was not what was said and wasn't even the topic of the thread is just wrong.  If that was the case in another thread someone could write about me that "Jodi is the president of the man haters club" ...........I quit last year, :0)

Geoff I agree with a lot of what you are saying, my problem is with the branding of Greg, as a person, that thinks gay couples should not be allowed to adopt children, because he is concerned over unrelated males wanting to spend alone time with a child, something that was said in a thread about molesting priests. I believe his words were twisted to mean something completely different. 

No his words were not twisted.  Like you he said he distrusted men that wanted to spend alone time with children.  He did not distinguish gay from straight.  Based on that I asked for a clarification on his post regarding gay adoption (at that point he had neither endorsed nor repudiated it).  I asked because I wondered if his view that men that want to spend time with children not related to them (such as adopted children) was unnatural (or strange) colored his views on gay adoption (since gay men would be adopting as well).  Based on his stated fear I questioned his position on gay adoption (and specifically gay men adopting).

Al you can call all the bullshit out you want, but regarding men and children, I think there is evidence to support extra concern when children are involved.

Then you are picking and choosing when "evidence" should justify discriminatory conduct such as profiling as suits your needs.  I live in a suburb of Newark, NJ.  I can go to my local newspaper and post a link to a black kid stealing a car -- those articles are published frequently too.  By your standard that justifies racial profiling.  

Donald stop trying to talk about what this thread is about............LOL LOL

How could a discussion of Civil Liberties NOT be a part of a presidential election thread?  Don't confuse what we are talking about.
