    More evidence that you spout off about things you don't understand.

    My grandfather was a scoutmaster for decades, earning one of these:

    Silver Beaver Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    My father was a boy scout.

    I was a cub scout, but decided not to pursue boy scouting for a number of reasons, none of them very good (but very age appropriate).

    "I'm right, get over it!"

    Nice.

    I've got nothing to get over, as far as I can tell.

    Exactly. In fact, he probably should be, oh, commanding a military or something instead of attending daytime talk shows or jamborees. He chose to do something other than work and he made the wrong choice.

    Got news for you: whether he's on 'the View', or attending some candy-ass, retard Scoutarama, he's still commanding a military.

    Super glad I could help you with that.

    I bet he would have went if they had called it a Scoutarama. That sounds like a lot of fun.

    That's what they called it when I was a kid. It was likely just as lame and irrelevant then as it is today.

    All I know is my nephew won that little car derby thing. And then he quit the next year.

    Pinewood derby. I could not have been more average at that.

    I don't even come in here with that bro.
    A) Christ compels us to be accepting of EVERYONE. Turn the other cheek, minister to thine enemy. Etc. Not to exclude, but to include. To mend wounds and bridges. Any group that claims to be "christian" should take about ten minutes and read the red lettered parts of the bible. Then go act on those Commandments From Their God. Just sayin. Otherwise drop the holy roller act and admit "we just don't want to hang out with gays or people that don't believe like we do".

    B) There were always plenty of gays in the scouts man. Plenty of the kids I went camping with ended up gay. (course i was in a larger troop so there was a statistically higher chance. i also live in a day and age where people for the most part aren't ashamed of that sort of thing). And if you think that every kid whose throat you cram your interp of Christs teachings down is a christian you are sadly mistaken. You can't force someone to come to God. You can't coerce them. You can't bribe them. They have to do it on their own. Excluding them from a club where they SHOULD be able to be exposed to Christians working in brotherhood with non-christians and LEADING BY EXAMPLE, etc is a poor move if you want them to convert.

    The "gays are not pedophiles" argument only stands up for Cub Scouts, you know, the 8 to 10 year olds.
    I don't know, are you attracted to 14, 15 or 16 year old girls?


    If you are:

    why don't you take a seat?

    *can I get a Chris Hanson?!*
