Scouting

Here's my opinion about the Boy Scouts of America.

I think it is wrong for them to exclude homosexuals. Even so, it is still the best organization for kids that exists.

I think they need to stop the pedophilia scandals before excluding homosexuals.

Some might disagree and say that Girl Scouts is the best organization!

I wanted to be a cub scout instead of a brownie...

I think I am so into nature and being independent thanks to the scouting programs. My parents didn't have the time or interest in the stuff the scouts did.

I think the Boy Scout's is a rich white people thing personally. i'd rrather have my kid learn that stuff from me, or with me. Organizations like it support a lot of things I don't value-like gawd, and stuff.

While troops can vary, and I can empathize slightly with the fear that homosexual males are also pedophiles (Not necassarily true obviously, but I can understand where the uptight whiteys get it from. Damn bibles.) I have never met a single Scout Leader I'd trust with my kids-and not just in a sexual way. (Which would honestly be the last of my concerns until I had reason to think otherwise) I just don't trust a lot of people to begin with, let alone christians. (Yes, I absolutely discriminate based on anyone of the thirteen protected discrimatory harassment catergories. Fuck politically correct.)
