The nanny state full speed ahead. Where does this lead?

Can this be moved to anything else?

Ludicrous. Next women will want the site filtered for jerks and then when they're removed they'll clamor for why there are no sexy men on the site, completely ignoring the correlation.

Because it has failed "to undertake a basic screening process [emphasis provided] that disqualifies from membership anyone who has a documented history of sexual assault," the lawsuit says, "Match and sexual predators benefit, while female members ... are endangered."

And I should sue match.com because they fail to filter out crazy chicks with prescriptions of Zoloft or other visits to mental health professionals putting male members in danger.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think I was going out with a criminal," said the woman, whose face and voice were disguised for the broadcast interview.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I think I was going out with a crazy b1tch!" said mrRuckus, whose face and voice were boldly displayed.

I also don't see the moral equivalence between physical assault and a woman who is crazy or on pills. But I see the point - there is no foolproof "screening" method for crazies.

Actually, studies show that mind****ing people has the same effects on them as physically attacking them.

Interesting how all the control always seems to be aimed in only one direction.

And the blame in another.

"As a matter of course, eHarmony does not conduct full criminal background checks. Registries can be incomplete or inaccurate, assaults and other crimes often go unreported, and perpetrators of crimes are not always convicted. Relying solely on screening can provide a false sense of security."

So basically. Personal responsibility is personal.
