Has anyone done any studies on hair color in adults who abuse children? Perhaps every article about child abuse should list the hair color of the perpetrator, so we could say that people with red hair, or whatever, shouldn't be allowed to be caregivers for children. How about geography? Are people in warm climates more inclined to hit thier kids? I really don't think we should let folks in warm climates be foster parents! What about race? Are there more child abusers among mixed-race couples? Perhaps the news article should say "Confirmed child abuse by mixed-race couple who were allowed to be foster parents"

Akenaton, if you can't see the illogic of your statements, you need to buy a ticket on the clue bus. Well, maybe it's more ignorance than illogic, I'm not sure. To automatically equate homosexuality with pedophilia bespeaks a vast lack of normal information as well as an astonishing ability to believe something for which there is no evidence, and which has been disproved many, many times.

I am not particularly politically correct, unless political correctness means treating people with respect, and treating them as individuals instead of as a member of some group. To say that gay folks being allowed to foster children is political correctness run amok is a smokescreen. You want to have your bigotry accepted as something other than your bigotry, so you try to ally it with some popular catch phrase so you can deflect our attention from your sad perversity.

Yes, you are a bigot and you are a sexual pervert. The bigotry should be obvious -- look it up, and then substitute "black" everywhere you use "gay". See how it sounds. Your sexual perversion is demonstrated by your public interest in what other people are doing in bed. Kind of sick, isn't it? Try subsituting the phrase "people who do things in bed that I don't" everywhere you use the word "gay" and it becomes pretty obvious that any discussion about what gays should be allowed to do is really about what they do in bed. Yeah, kinda sick.

Get your mind out of the gutter, take a logic class, read a book, and go meet some people. Please.
