So you're saying that religious faith has nothing to do with some peoples objection to gay individuals being in scouting?

Faith may have something to do with people leaving the scouts.

But I left faith out of the opening post for a reason.


I guess you didn't like it when they catered to the black minority groups to get into the BSA either? They even tried black only scout packs. Would Gay Only packs be ok with you?

If gays wanted to form their own scout groups, get after it.

My traditional values don't include bigotry for sexual preference. How many generations will have to fade away before we get rid of bigotry?

So you would keep your daughter in an all girls school after they allowed boys to enter?

You put your daughter in an all girls organization so she does not have to deal with sexual pressure. Then that organization allows boys. Now what?

Just change the Boy Scout uniform. May I suggest the Burqa? That way no one will be checking out anyone.

Separate but equal, huh?

False equivalence. An appropriate analogy is an all girl's school that accepts openly gay girls.


No, because those are not supposed to be selective private organizations.

Kinda hard to claim to be a private organization when they receive so much assistance from the federal government, and by extension, the taxpayers.

If I took my son out of scouts because I do not want another boy looking at my sons ass, or making the moves on him, I am an asshole?

HOLY FUCK, YES, YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE!

And the fact you pro-created and passed on your fucked up, bigoted ideology to an innocent child is nearly criminal.

We actually had at least one gay kid in our troop. He didn't actually come out until years later, but it wasn't a huge surprise.

Those were good memories. I should see if I still have my old 50-Miler patches.

Wow aren't you the super parent. Hide him from real people in the world and being embarrassed by "dweebs" and fat children. I don't know why I thought you were a reasonable poster.

If I was your kid I would make sure all my friends where fat and dweebs just to piss you off.


Being fat is unacceptable. It just is. There is something disgusting about a person who lacks the self-control to quit putting food into their mouth. If a person cannot respect themself enough to take care of their own fucking body, why the hell should anybody else? Why should my children be exposed to people with such a glaring character flaw?

This is the same guy who wants to start lopping the heads off the wealthy and take their money. I guess he doesn't realize he's just a dweeb to them, and not meant to share in the wealth.

So those fat people should pull themselves up by their bootstraps?

Why should the wealthy be forced to provide your with money? Get your own damn money you lazy fuck.

LOL, bshole is just another idiot who is exactly what he hates.

Are you trying to compete with Texashiker for the 'shittiest poster in the thread' award?

EDIT: I should add Pray to Jesus into the running too.

Taking a child out of an organization that allows gays is no different than a parent taking their daughter out of an organization that allows boys.

you have some serious insecurity issues, you really should see a therapist and uncrazy yourself.

Are you willing to answer my question?

Isn't one of the points of same sex organizations to keep sexual pressure to a minimum?

If same sex was one of the reasons why you had your child in an organization, or even a school, and that organization (or private school) allowed people who could raise the level of sexual tension, would you withdraw your child?

Do you stand by your values?

Or do you become a bigot and withdraw your child?

The gay kids were already there, they were just forced to lie about it.

I've already answered this question. If whether or not someone might be attracted to your kid at some point is the determining factor as to whether or not you let them participate in an activity you're an idiot and a shitty parent.

<snip>

Because you didn't want to admit that it's part of the reason for membership and dues decreasing?

Just as a reminder, here's your original post:

This is what happens when you cater to a minority group rather than the majority who pay the bills.

http://www.worldmag.com/2014/03/boy_scouts_fall_millions_behind_budget



In short:

Boy scouts allow gays.
People leave for a group who supports traditional values

Even though the Executive Board of BSA says in their statement that there are many factors that are causing the decrease, you ignore that by saying this is what happens when the minority group is catered to and boy scouts allow gays and some people go to a group that supports traditional (religious) values.

I'll ask again, what's the point of this thread, gay bashing?

Girl scouts, boy scouts,,,, separate but equal?

You probably failed the section on the SAT covering verbal analogies, huh?

That is one of the rights of being a private organization. I fully support private organizations making their own rules.

Want to be a private organization? Stop spending so much taxpayer money.

Is it too much to ask that our kids don't get raped at boy scouts? Apparently it is.

I have said several times in this forum I do not care if someone is gay. It does not affect me one way or the other. But because it does not affect me does not mean I have to like it.

One of my previous post:

The key issue is not to infringe on each other rights. Get married to your boyfriend, live happily ever after, I do not care.

Joining a private organization is not a right.

The point of this thread - The boy scouts was founded on a certain moral code. When that code is changed expect people to leave.


If whether or not someone might be attracted to your kid at some point is the determining factor as to whether or not you let them participate in an activity you're an idiot and a shitty parent.

Coming from someone who does not even have kids.
