Chuck needs to work on Numbers 4, 5, 7, & 8 it seems.

Name calling and bashing may not be “friendly” “courteous” or “kind, but it IS, in fact, a First Amendment right.

Whether one should invoke it is an entirely different matter.

Cadet Kelly, I’m not sure what you’re getting at there, but most of those things people don’t have a choice about how they feel. For paedophilia, and Bestiality, the only two which hurt others, the people definitely need to seek mental help. LGBT is not harmful to others, and it’s really up to the individual as to how they want to deal with it, bottle it up inside, deny it, or come out with it and embrace it. They’re not hurting anyone by being Gay, Lesbian, or Transgendered, so it’s not up to anyone to stop them.

Go to a World Jamboree next time and see the diversity of religious representation. I respect your views, and you have every right to advocate for your views to be adopted by the BSA. But you miss the mark when you insist on a “Christian” policy in the BSA. The BSA is not Democrat or Republican, and not Catholic, or Mormon, or Hindu, or any one party or religion.

How does the adage go?
If two people think so much alike, you can bet that one person isn’t thinking.

Participation always won, because I did not want to deprive the boys of a leader because of some stupid and outdated policy made at Headquarters. But it was always a close call. I hope that one day it will not be a struggle to try to reconcile two opposing beliefs.

I understand not wanting your child to be gay or feeling that it’s anti-Biblical, but you’re living in a fantasy land if you think gay people shouldn’t exist or shouldn’t have the same rights. It all smacks of hypocrisy. Give me my rights, but screw yours. Way to go.

Lastly, update the profile pick already. That was 30 years ago, ya old geezer.

And you, you idiot bit it, hook, line and sinker.

If the Boy Scouts don’t want to allow gay members into their ranks, that is their business; however, if that policy is based upon the notion that a gay man is going to be excited by being around young boys, then it is ludicrous. Naturally, women are attracted to men, but no one gets too worried if a heterosexual women sees a boys penis. Yet if a homosexual man is around, it is immediately assumed that he is going to become aroused? Lunacy.
In parting, I would like to say that it has always been my opinion that those who are the most vocal about their anti gay beliefs are the ones who are working hardest to suppress their homosexuality.
I hope you enjoyed this message; paid for by a guy who thinks you are a jackass………….

PS: I hope that all of your children move to California and marry homosexuals and adopt tons of children from around the world.
Have a nice day bigot!
