Controversial Topics Several months ago, I added a private sub-forum to allow members to discuss these topics without fear of infractions or banning. It's opt-in, opt-out. Corey Click Here
Which is exactly my point that this isn't about Little Billy after all. It is about the intolerance of any opinion other than the so called collective opinion. If one single entity stands with principles that differ from yours there will be a power grab to go after it. Once you crumble the...
I don't think you understand what he means by pushing society forward. Do a little history research on the phrase and that should clear up your questions.
We are looking at society through two very different lenses. I don't think we could be any more opposite. I've found more meaning to everything by studying those who have lived before me. Nothing is new under the sun and history is just as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago. The ideas...
What about the kid who couldn't measure up to the football requirements? Should we force the NFL to let little Johnny play even though it's against their rules? Johnny should focus on what he CAN join.
I wouldn't be so quick to criticize someone's grammar if mine were far from perfect. I'm struggling to understand your comparison to slavery and the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts is an extracurricular club. It is optional. There are lots of clubs I don't qualify to join. I don't feel the...
The Boy Scouts do not need to be "fixed". They have been around for over a century aspiring boys to become men grounded in their oath of keeping themselves morally straight. To throw around discrimination is absurd. I think special privilege would better describe the situation. There is no...
I'm still waiting for an answer of why you would want to put your child in an organization you consider to be full of bigots. Unless there's something more than meets the eye.
If you really believe they are bigots then why in the world would you want to have your child part of an organization you're so quick to name call. Who is being segregated? Boy Scouts mistreating people? The term Boy Scout stands for the complete opposite of mistreatment.
I don't know any homophobes. I also wouldn't correlate the Boys Scouts with bigotry. I find your statement intolerant of a certain viewpoint because you're expecting me to conform to your beliefs.
That's not your typical I'm going to kill you because I lost my temper threat. When someone gives you exact details of how they'll do it, I'm pretty sure I'd take it seriously.
I personally hope the Boys Scouts take this time to deeply reflect all that has made their organization an American symbol of honor for over 100 years. It would be a grave and sad mistake to watch this tradition go by the wayside if they cave. You can simply look at the Girl Scouts for an idea...
Should we apply this same standard to every situation. Would you say the same to all the victims in Chicago recently. They're all dead because what they were doing was wrong.
I don't care what his demeanor was when he was risking his life to protect his country from an extremist terrorist group not another human being. Some things are black and white. It shows a lack of respect when you disregard all of the good this man did for his country, wife, and children. I...
The Farmer commercial with Paul Harvey was great. It brought back memories of listening to him and images of a nostalgic America that I love. He was such a talented man. As far as the vehicles they are not my brand for reasons I can't post. I'll give them two thumbs up for their commercial!!!
This statement and others on this board speak volumes. To compare a Seal to the Taliban is disgraceful. As the daughter of a retired veteran I am so thankful for the sacrifice of his service. I'll say it again he was an American Patriot and our prayers go out to his family.
We love staying at Marriott's Harbour Lake. The pirate pool and slides were like having your own waterpark to yourself. The kids want to stay here the entire time next vacation instead of on Disney property. The Marriott Vacation Club across the street from this one is nice as well.
