The Ban Stands

I love having Rucker on my ignore list. Hides the stupidity!

The Boy Scouts of America is a PRIVATE organization and they have the RIGHT to do this! The LGBT "community" is always asking for tolerance but yet they won't tolerate others beliefs.

What?

I'm pretty sure they have nothing against you being heterosexual...

so rucker is going to deprive his kids of Scouting, because they dont formally admit gays? what a moron.

Good thing they can still join the Marines.

But they have something against someone not wanting homosexuals in your club.

The scouts aren't saying you can't be a homo, just can't do it in the scouts.

Nobody is stopping them from creating their own group and not allowing straight people in...

Why is separation the answer? Why can't every kid be a scout? I've seen plenty of complaints about the exclusionary policy of minority organizations in this very forum, so why is it the answer now?

So create a group that lets everyone in, I don't care. These groups seeking 'tolerance' need to get the fuck on and stop harassing a private organization.

What do you think the Black Panthers would say if I took my pale ass up there and tried to join? Their group, their belief, their right.

I'm biased in this conversation. I have a family member who is gay. I also had a brother-in-arms whom was gay. He has recieved 2 purple hearts and a bronze star for actions in Ramadi, Iraq...but hey let's piss on him because he's gay. Kinda funny how he puts his life on the line to protect our freedom, and ignorant civilians run their piehole. You know what they say, the empty can rattles the most. If the boy scouts wish for gays not to be involved, that's their perogative. It's kinda funny how the BSA says no to gays, but how many sexual predators are taking your children into the woods? The only ones who have convictions are the ones who have been caught.

Here's some food for thought...

There were 2,000 US cases of abuse within the Boy Scouts of America prior to 1994, and one abuse incident was as recent as 2006. -via a report on the internet.

So the BSA isn't the holy roller they think they are.

Sorry if my post offends anyone, it's just my 2 cents on the subject.

Parents should be much more involved in their childrens lives. They should KNOW who is watching, interacting, influencing their kids. I know most people dont now. Thats why they have public school, daycare, big boys, big sisters, Scouting, television, cable, internet. Whatever people can do, to NOT raise their own kids.

People need to take responsibility.
