Thanks for the English lesson.
Nevadan's first post strongly implied this crime could have been prevented if the BBBS rejected declared homosexuals.
Was the perp in this case a declared homo?
Yes, this is the principal of free association.
Since BBBS practices full disclosure to the kid's guardian, the kid's guardian is free to exclude gun owners, homos, atheists, whatever.
Look, if a kid's parent allows them to associate with homos they can certainly do so without BBBS help. The only difference would be the homo in question would not be subjected to Criminal Background Investigation.
actually immaterial if he was declared or not. The fact is he practices homosexual behavior.
If he knew that the organization rejected sexual deviants he'd be (ever so slightly maybe) less likely to apply.
The problem is that the 'homosexuals' always try to go where the children are. They don't reproduce, they recruit
from other posts on this thread apparently they do not practice full disclosure everywhere. And even if they did, how could you trust a pro-homosexual organization to keep the sexual deviants away from your kid anyway? That would be expecting the teachers unions to keep pro-homosexual propaganda out of the classroom. It's just not going to happen
I see, so the perp was bent on committing dozens of felonies and facing decades of imprisonment and losing his livelihood, but you figure the organization's diversity statement was the enabling factor.
I haven't seen any credible documentation of these assertions. In fact, the one I looked into was a case where BBBS was sued for disclosing a volunteer's sexuality although Chinese Internet Whispers were being used to assert the opposite.
I see, so do you think the remaining churches need to be placed under government control so as to limit their freedom of association?
You seem to think freedom of association for the BSA is ok as long as it is used to make decisions of which you approve.
BBBS is essentially respecting a guardian's right to control who associates with their children. In absence of of BBBS supervision this includes the freedom to associate with known criminals. BBBS essentially adds the filter of a Criminal Background Investigation along with references, interviews, and then allows the parent to make a informed decision with full disclosure.
This is not 100% safe but it is generally safer than most of these kids everyday lives which often includes abusive, incarcerated, alcohol and drug addicted parents, etc. who are free at anytime to *legally* bring ex-convicts, felons, and yes, even homos into the kid's life without any supervision.
Because The Boy Scouts of America didn't want him as a Scoutmaster.
If he knew that the organization rejected sexual deviants he'd be (ever so slightly maybe) less likely to apply.
Maybe you're right, perhaps they could match the Catholic Church's record in protecting kids.
Big Brothers/Big sisters is like take-out for NAMBLA
so they were sued for practising full disclosure?
My response:
BSA, most churches etc do not have pro-homosexual diversity statements. In fact they exclude sexual perverts explicitly (as is their right and duty)
Your reply:
I see, so do you think the remaining churches need to be placed under government control so as to limit their freedom of association?
Now tell me what your reply has to do with the original point? It makes no sense as we are not talking about freedom of association at this point of the discussion
He may be a heterosexual but he is pushing her to homosexuality. Sexual abuse is the leading cause of the disease. (he should also be executed as should all child molestors)
me->If he knew that the organization rejected sexual deviants he'd be (ever so slightly maybe) less likely to apply.
you->Maybe you're right, perhaps they could match the Catholic Church's record in protecting kids.
Excellent point to bring up. The Catholic Church, in the areas that had the greatest trouble with homosexual priests molesting boys, had become openly welcoming to homosexuals. The seminaries in those areas were overrun by sexual deviants (homosexuals), the bishops in many cases were homosexuals covering for their fellow homosexuals instead of protecting the flock, and the local church had largely become non-Catholic in it's regard towards homosexuality. Further proof that we cannot let the mentally damaged (homosexuals) into positions where they can come in contact with children
Thats what I found when I went digging on the Minneapolis case that started this controversy.
1. Now tell me what your reply has to do with the original point? It makes no sense as we are not talking about freedom of association at this point of the discussion
I think free association is at the heart of this argument. I see nothing wrong with the BSA practicing exclusion and nothing wrong with BBBS giving a parent the ultimate informed choice regarding who associates with their child.
2. Further proof that we cannot let the mentally damaged (homosexuals) into positions where they can come in contact with children
Who is "we". Who do you propose controls a child's interactions with others? The State or the legal guardian?
The Catholic Church, in the areas that had the greatest trouble with homosexual priests molesting boys, had become openly welcoming to homosexuals.
I wasn't aware the Catholic Church ordained priests who were openly declared homosexuals.
So let me get this straight. Its your position that both heterosexual and homosexual child rape are the primary drivers of homosexuality? So heterosexual rapists are in fact also "recruiting"?
Predators go where the prey is. Why people don't understand that mystifies me.
Wonder if Big Brothers/Big Sisters in San Fransisco and the San Fransisco area has been ugh.. VETTED.. Seems like the BB/BS in Sodom itself would be a prime target for ugh.. VETTING.. Ah! but finding someone to VET it could be a problem.. The BB/BS program there has GOT to be a virtual magnet for, lets say, recruitment by normalphobes..
