    If we had 2 teachers in every classroom that would also help restrict teachers from raping kids too.

    Yep. Shame that we have to think about such things with regards to our children....but I guess you cannot trust people these days.

    You nailed it. Might as well get them used to it early, as it doesnt seem to change when you get older either. Men have to shower with the Michael Sams, while Women get to hide their bits from the Men. Double standards abound in the world of "equality".

    I do not understand why the homosexuals get so outraged at the correct use of words.

    For example, deviant behavior is the correct term to use when discussing homosexual sex. It's also abnormal to be homosexual.

    When you consider what is "the norm" then to deviate from the norm (deviant) or not do what is the norm (abnormal) then the correct use of words are such

    The one word which does get used incorrectly during these discussions is "phobia"

    I have not met 1 person with a deathly fear of homosexuals

    It's time for the Boy Scouts to splinter into different groups.

    First group, Boy Scouts: True to the orginal group. Christian based. No homos or pedophiles. Privately funded.

    Second groups: call it "Scouting", the "Young Red Brigade", "Rainbow Scouts", etc.: Leftist group. Secular and Progressive. No traditional morals. Gay leaders and children, that can be trans-gender and/or trans-sexual would be encouraged. Funded by the DNC, George Soros or anyone who voted for Obama.

    Either the scouts will conform or eventually go under.

    Wont work because there simply arent enough of them to keep it afloat. Thats why they need forced inclusion in the BSA. A minority not large enough to stand on it's own....but noisy enough to ruin everyone elses organizations.

    I just added a link in the above post that describes some actual off-shoot programs. I've only seen the Royal Rangers. I'm an Eagle Scout BTW.

    Bottom line here is that it is after all is said and done Disney's money. If the Disney corporation decides to take THEIR profits and start a bonfire with Their cash or donate Their cash to the Sisters of Charity they can. If YOU don't like what Disney is doing with THEIR money I suggest that you stop buying Disney products.

    As far as opening Gay Troop Leaders go, well the BSA has set moral standards based upon religious convictions if You don't like it then don't join or feel free to start an alternative group. It still is, mostly, a free country so have at it.

    Nothing is being ruined. The BSA makes their own decisions, and people decide whether or not they like those decisions. In this case, Disney does not care for their decisions. If The BSA chooses to stay in the 19th century, they'll go away, just like lots of other businesses and organizations. That's kind of how things work. No one in this situation is being forced to do anything. You cannot possibly make the case that they are.

    Remember when I mentioned private clubs as a way to discriminate? Well, the BSA is one of them. The can do whatever they want, no one can force them to do anything.

    Statistically speaking- that is true by anyway you want to measure it- child molestation, gun violence, bullying, physical assault, theft

    All men are more of a risk to any child- boy or girl- than any woman is.


    All men are a higher danger to children than any woman[/I].

    - - - Updated - - -

    That was the whole point of his post. We were after all talking about child molestation.

    Of course we parents must.

    That is why I argue against trying to point fingers at homosexuals and crying 'child molester'.

    Because as a parent I want to mitigate the risk to my daughter. Everyone blaming the homosexual man just because he is a homosexual will be fewer people noticing the kindly father of two who runs the Church Youth Group and molests the girls there.

    Statistically there is no question that any child is more at risk from any man, than that child is at risk from any woman.

    If you really want to mitigate the risk to your children- your time would be better spent advocating against having men in any position where they are alone with any children.

    Which is why I do not believe for a moment this is about 'mitigating risk to children'.

    Due to lawsuits by "tolerant" leftists. Otherwise, if you think there is high demand for kids who want to hang out gay dudes in the forest start your own club. No one is stopping you. We just think you shouldn't impose your beliefs on others and change them just because you want to.

    Do straight men rape little boys or just gay men?
    Are there many girls in Boy Scouts?

    Deviant behavior then is how I assume you consider when someone uses their left hand?

    And you call that abnormal- when someone uses their left hand?

    And-

    Definition of HOMOPHOBIA

    : irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals

    I would say that you advocate for homophobia.

    No lawsuit would ever stick to the BSA. They are a private club and can discriminate all they want.

    Does no one here understand anything about how the law works? I am constantly astonished by the utter lack of knowledge or even curiosity.

    Yes, straight men do rape little boys. Jerry Sandusky for one. Seriously, you don't understand what a pedophile is, do you? And no matter how it is explained to you, you seem unable to grasp it.
