And another American institution destroyed

[Fmedges]

When I was in the scouts as a kid, the last thing that every came up was anything that was ever sexual. Everything was focused on being a good person and learning about wilderness and crafting.

ya know i dont care about gays, they can be whatever they want, it does not bother me, they want to be gay great, get married i dont care

what i dont understand is why every group feels that they have to be out in the open and accepted by everyone and if they are not then they sue to be accepted and think that now it is going to be alright,

if they are discriminated against then they not only get to sue to be included, but then they get their own group and cause they were discriminated against they get get to make up for it by having their group that discriminate and they get to participate in the other group they forced their way into.


for example, if the gay kid just kept his mouth shut then the BSA would not know anything about it and he would have been a scout, the BSA has a lot of religious overtones and gays are not generally accepted by christians, so now we sue so that we can be in your face openly gay and screw your values, they dont meet my values and mine take precedent

the black college students were not getting grants and scholarships back in the day so they sued, and now they are participating equally in all the grants and scholarships and they have their own that discriminate against anyone who is not black, whites should sue to get into the United Negro College fund, When i was in college i was turned down for grants because the money was being held for colored students, no lie that is a quote.

the country did not want a muslim center near the towers and so the muslims sued. now they will be in your face and forcing you to accept them

illegal aliens are not getting instate tuition rates so now they are suing, they come here get all kinds of free shit a free high school education and now they want to benefits of voting tax paying citizens and a lower cost college education.

all of this crap is enough to make you a hater,

wtf, is wrong with dont ask dont tell, your policies make my gay kid feel left out and unaccepted, well life is a bitch, your gay kid is making my straight kids feel uncomfortable, i dont parade around in your night clubs and your houses making you accept me

we are here illegally we are not getting the same chances that citizens are, well tough shit, get in line and come here legally then when we determine that you are not a scumbag you can come here and be a productive member of society

get over yourself, live your life and leave people alone, stop trying to make everyone like you, accept you, there are plenty of people who dont like me so what, get up go to work make living stop looking for a handout, and you will be alright. stop trying to make people accept your sexuality, color, race, religion etc.

i am a christian, white male, i dont have to accept you for any reason, if you are not a complete dick then we will get along fine regardless of your color, race, religion, sexuality

you could be a muslim queer with a black father and a chinese mother for all i care, if you are here legally, paying taxes, voting and holding a job that you are good at, upholding the constitution, and raising kids that dont want to kill me because i am not then we will get along just fine,

for the rest of you, bite me

Wasn't your point that tolerance is the downfall of society?

Not even close.

So you're saying that you believe the myth that all gays are pedophiles??

Your assuming something I didn't say

Exactly, that's the way it was when I was in the scouts as well.

I'd have to agree with Fmedges on this pretty much to a T.

IMO, the attitude that gays are somehow less than human is on the same level as anti-gun people trying to persecute us for exercising our 2A rights. No matter the mix if everyone involved is a consenting adult and it happens behind closed doors, I don't care if they what they do sexually.

Also the fact that any organization should be allowed to pick and choose who they want as members and who they don't know matter the reasons.

Life, LIBERTY, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

This about kids. That's why it isn't called the Man Scouts of America.

As to your second point, you may want to point that out to the stool pusher mafia.

OK, then please explain in further detail what you mean.

It's already been mentioned that scout leaders aren't allowed to bunk with the kids unless it's their kid and only their kid. Are you talking about a gay kid somehow trying to get it on with a straight kid?

That's because you don't bring a cat to a dog show.

And you hit the nail on the head.

get over yourself, live your life and leave people alone, stop trying to make everyone like you, accept you, there are plenty of people who dont like me so what, get up go to work make living stop looking for a handout, and you will be alright. stop trying to make people accept your sexuality, color, race, religion etc.

Agree!

All I'm addressing is a 100 year old organization dropping one of their traditional rules.
