Boy Scouts vote to lift ban on gay youth
May 23 2013

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- The Boy Scouts of America voted
Thursday to end its controversial policy banning gay
kids and teens from joining one of the nation's most
popular youth organizations, ditching membership
guidelines that had roiled the group in recent years.
Over 61 percent of Scouting's National Council of 1,400
delegates from across the country voted to lift the ban,
BSA officials said. The final tally was 757 yes votes,
to 475 no.

It's about ****ing time!

Next step is to allow atheists. Until that day, the Boy
Scouts are still a bigoted organization.

Jeanne, why do you say they are still bigoted? Is it
because you weren't allowed to join because of what you
have between your legs? Or was it because of what you don't
have between your ears?

I had the Girl Scouts available to me. A FAR better
organization than the Boy Scouts.

Nonsense. If that's true, why are so many girls trying to get
into Boy Scouts?


Who says they are?

I wouldn't expect you to know anything that's going on around
you.

Your expectations are not a problem for atheists, so long as
you're not trying to impose your values on others.

Boy Scouts AND Girl Scouts are shrinking even
as the population of young teens is growing. They
are shrinking into irrelevancy.

...and you rejoice.

Actually, the elimination of organizations that are founded on
discriminatory ideals is of tremendous benefit to the
psychological health of modern societies.

Idiot.

Your fallacious ad hominem attack doesn't help your position,
and it provides and indication of anger and frustration on your
part which I hope you won't express as violence against any
people or animals.

I recommend you go outside and walk around your neighbourhood
for 10 minutes to cool down before you continue. The reason is
that people who get angry in the manner you've exhibited are at
risk of "snapping," which can have long-lasting or permanent
effects on one's character.

how nice of you to try to impose your values on others

I wasn't trying to be nice.

What the **** makes you thing I want to be nice to you, dumb****?

This wasn't about you wanting to be nice, nor have I presented any such
suggestion of expecting you trying to be nice (because I'm not aware of
any evidence that you would be able to satisfy that expectation).

In what manner do you believe I was
"imposing," and which "values" are you referring to?

What a dummy.

Could you be more specific? It's not immediately clear how being a
dummy is either an imposition or a value.

By the way, you won't snap as easily because you're
passive-aggressive.

You *do* have a mirror.

No, not at this moment. (There is one in the other room though, but
that's entirely incidental.)
