Background Check?!

[sistarisin]

While driving to work (this is where I do my deepest thinking ), and listenin to Russ Parr and Olivia Fox....

People Poll Question of the Day was

"Do you agree with performing a Background Check on your potential partner?"

I apologize if this has been covered in another thread; however, I did perform a search...

I don't agree with it; however, I strongly feel that for those that do agree with it should be prepared to let the person know that they're intending to perform a background check. How do you pretend to have a basis for trust with someone if (1) you have to dig through their personal history and (2) you do so without their knowledge. If you have the temerity to do one, I think you should be woman/man enough to come correct with that person about what you intend to do. We do have to submit to these types of background checks for employment with our permission ; therefore, I think the same courtesy should be exercised. Is that naive?

What yall think about delving or having someone delve into your background?
