The answer to this is totally obvious-yes.... but so is the answer to whether or not gay couples should be able to adopt- yes. As long as the couple/ or single parent is willing to love the child and give him or her a good home they should be able to adopt...given they don't have a criminal past. Sexual orientation should not even be a consideration when it comes to adopting a child as long as you aren't a sexual predetor.

The government takes possession of them and trains them up to be a small army of super soldiers that can be sent to fight any terrorist threat anywhere in the world.

and what do you think the likeliness of that happening is? and how effective would a bunch of little kids be fighting terrorists? Why don't you just say send them to a damn concentration camp eh?

Why not send the m to a damn concentration camp? Waste of recources...

And besides you can feed them steroids and test all sorts of drugs on them... No one wants them anyways.... Besides you'd obviously have to make the program long term... wait until they mature and then send them on missions.

Prison?

There are a couple of foster homes in the area I recently lived. I have seen those kids, worthless criminal scum. They have thrown rocks at the windows of buses in which I was riding, a couple of them tried to climb into the window of a house in which I once lived, my parents even photographed them trying it, they harrass the local people, drink and smoke pot in the street . . . it's ridiculous. Otherwise, it is one of the leafiest suburbs in the North-West of England. A large proportion of its crime must come from them. :x

I like the idea of training them as an army, hasn't anyone read the diamond age? Training is what matters, children could make perfectly good soldier if provided with the right weaponry and training

Yes, but imagine how much abuse the child would get from his/her peers if his/her "parents" are gay.

Anyone of good standing should be allowed to adopt. It would do a lot of good for lost kids.

NO it is not OBVIOUS.
And no a single person should not be allowed to adopt.

Children with gay parents may or may not be harrassed in school. However, this is a result of the teachers teaching the wrong things or not acting when they see stuff like this happening or the parents of the harrassing children, being as narrowminded and egocentric as some people posting here are. If homosexuality were as accepted as heterosexuality, nobody would have any problems and we could all live in relative peace. The abuse of religion and the planting of fear in the people to distract the masses from real issues and instead focussing their attention on a minority, always worked for the government to keep its power. As long as a minority - be it black people because they are black or gays because they are gay - can be used to discriminate against it in any way, things will not improve.

Actually, that is my point many different veiw points, for many different reasons means that "NO it is not OBVIOUS".
The issue at hand touches on many different parts of peoples moral compass.
That was my point, and yes my main reason that single and or homosexual people should not be allowed to adopt is it does not teach the natural family structure.
I dont believe that kids "learn to be gay" or any such dribble, but I am sure even homosexual would like to see a child afforded the chance to understand the way a natural family is supposed to work.
To that I dont believe many of sadistic scumbags who end up getting children should be allowed to have them either but that is a post for another topic.

I see.. thus why we have so many wonderfully functional and natural families nowadays. I hate it when the traditional family model is being used as the alpha & omega to ban all other forms of relationship.
