I'm going to size up the gay guy(s) living next door and get a feeling for what they are like. Do they give vibes that they could be pedophiles or do they seem rather safe in their behaviors and interests? As a parent, I'm going to treat all adults in the area as potential pedophiles until I know them better.
What I won't do is make the mistaken assumption that a neighbor is regarded dangerous or safe solely on their sexual preference. I'll take the percentages under advisement but I will be cognizant of the fact that some heteros are unsafe for children just as some homos are unsafe for children.
...compared to children raised by their married mother and father.
Is this a plug for legalizing gay marriage?
Considering it comes out of UTex, there might be that suspicion. However, going with the "mother and father", I'd read it at face value and assume natural nuclear family.
It certainly is true one must be vigilant, OHoof, but who would you rather the TSA profile at airports: caucasion Jewish grandmothers in wheelchairs or Islamic males with beards and prayer rugs?
I think profiling the homosexual next door makes you safer since he’s many times more likely to injure your child despite what you think you know about him.
Are you telling us that you actually expect to be *given* your diploma after having openly challenged that indoctrination? Or,if you're planning to openly challenge it only *after* graduation,do you really expect to be able to keep whatever license you might need to practice your craft?
If the latter is the case you might want to refer to the legislation recently enacted in California which forbids counselors/therapists from attempting to tell kids that they must see themselves as either male or female according to their X/Y chromosome makeup.
We’re just talking past each other.
I’m for profiling but not to the point where you become unconcerned about someone because they appear heterosexual or appear caucasian. The difference should be *extra* vigilence towards demographic groups known to be more inclined to certain unfavorable behaviors.
How safe would you have felt if Jerry Sandusky was one of your neighbors if all you knew was his public reputation?
How unsurprising in two respects: a) the ideological bias used to conduct all previous studies and b) the common-sense results.
Cue the homosexual agenda mafia in 3, 2, 1 ...

No, it doesn't. The study compared children of intact biological families to children of homosexuals.
Only 2% of children from married, heterosexual parents were sexually abused, where 98% were not. If you want to flip numbers, do it correctly.
98% of children from married, heterosexual parents were not sexually abused, but only 77% of children from lesbian mothers were not sexually abused. It's still just as shocking.
Children of lesbian mothers:
Are more likely to be currently cohabiting
Are almost 4 times more likely to be currently on public assistance
Are less likely to be currently employed full-time
Are more than 3 times more likely to be unemployed
Are nearly 4 times more likely to identify as something other than entirely heterosexual
Are 3 times as likely to have had an affair while married or cohabiting
Are an astonishing 10 times more likely to have been “touched sexually by a parent or other adult caregiver.”
Are nearly 4 times as likely to have been “physically forced” to have sex against their will
Are more likely to have “attachment” problems related to the ability to depend on others
Use marijuana more frequently
Smoke more frequently
Watch TV for long periods more frequently
Have more often pled guilty to a non-minor offense
Knowing several “G-Hey” people I can attest to that this seems to be quite accurate.
[ Is this study saying that a girl raised by either lesbians or gays has a 50-50 chance of being forced to have sex against her will as compared to 14% of those raised by an intact M/Female family?
That is stunning. ]
A very large percentage of Lesbians were abused Sexually by their Mothers or Fathers when they were little, this is just the cycle of abuse being embraced by society rather than being dealt with appropriately. I would wager that to find a Lesbian that had NOT been abused sexually in their youth would be as hard as finding a Lesbian who embraces conservative values. This sexual abuse causes mental breakdown in their emotional development and causes emotional development to stall and settle into a childlike state. This is one reason why the party of emotion (democrats) caters exclusively to the Gay agenda.
Sexual abuse is like a damned mind virus that propagates through the generations and continues onwards as if it has a life of it’s own. It is a lot like spousal abuse.
Imagine if wife/husband beating were normalized to this absurd point.... I am sure the democrats would cater to the spouse beating crowd... Oh wait... Bill Clintoon.....
Oy vey...I know. And curiously enough, I am considering moving to Calif next year - though I have serious reservations. It’s a fine line you have to walk in counseling - while you are “allowed” to have your own opinions and convictions, you are not to impose them on the client. You are supposed to honor the client’s autonomy at all times and never be judgmental...how this works in practice I’m not sure. Sometimes you may not be able to work with a certain client but you have to be careful about refusing to counsel certain types of clients. A common cautionary example used in my courses was the story of a Christian counselor who refused to counsel a lesbian couple on the basis that it violated her religious beliefs, but lost in court because she was not upholding the ethical principles of the counseling profession. Their rights to counseling trumped her right to her religious beliefs. The general consensus among my peers was that if she felt so strongly she should work for a Christian counseling center. Anyway - yes, it is a tough business in which to be a Christian and a conservative.
In Chicago there’s a place on the southeast side called the SSCC. It used to be the South Shore Country Club and was mainly Jewish, but as the neighborhood changed the area went into decline. It’s now the South Shore Cultural Center, a kind of party/event place with a golf course and beach. The one other thing there is the mounted police stables of the CPD.
For decades the stables were open and relatively unguarded. You could go there with your kids and see the horses and it was a great visit, off the beaten track and totally unknown to most people. A couple years back somebody came in, tore the place up, damaged bridles, saddles and released the horses. Some of the horses were abused, really abused and weird stuff.
For a long time the crime went unsolved. It was outrageous, but there wasn’t enough evidence to find the culprit(s). Since then security has been beefed up and you can’t get in without a badge or prior authorization. Then suddenly there was a break in the case. Cops were called on a domestic between two lesbians. It was pretty hot and hostile, but the one says, “Do you know what her son did to those horses?”
They cracked the case from there.
I wouldn’t feel safe at all if Jerry Sandusky was a neighborhood, he’s one of the 1 in a hundred in your illustration, but he’s already identified.
If an unknown person from a known group that is 10% child molestive lives next door, then I’m more concerned than when it’s a person from a different group that’s 1 in 100.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
He has one. He’s just been deprived of him by two lesbians.
“If I remember correctly, the liberals totally dismissed it, and chastised the author for being “unscientific”.”
One must remember the first law of dealing with liberals: all liberals lie all the time, even if they don’t realize it.
“Sucked in by liberal culture”: best phrasing to describe the Americaqn people I have seen lately.
