My argument is more based on my belief that a group cannot be held responsible for the sins of a few and as such, it doesn't really matter if the few have sinned a little, or a lot. Just like I don't think all white men should bear the sins of the Klu Klux Klan, I don't believe that all homosexuals should bear the sins of a tiny group of pedophiles who just happen to be gay. It doesn't matter to me if that tiny group of pedophiles has 1 victim or 100, it does not mean that we can hold the larger group any more responsible. Put another way, if 99.9% of gays never molest children, would their innocence be affected by how many children are victimized by the 0.1%?Kathianne said:While I may not be sure why, it seems that both Horhay and Missile Man have become quiet on the point that 'a few' commit crimes disproportionate to their numbers. Their victims unfortunately are children, which make it sort of difficult to argue that the tendency towards frequency should not get mixed up with the raw numbers of perps.
Until someone can come up with a statistic that shows that a homosexual is more likely to be a pedophile than heterosexual is, I do not think we need to consider gay strangers as more dangerous around children than straight strangers. The truth is, you should have a healthy amount of distrust for ANY adult when they are going to be alone with your child, whether they are gay or straight.
