That type of strawman argument "comeback" is exactly why I am saying these discussions are nothing like each other. It takes one smartass comment to derail everything down to a mess of bullshit.

It's a valid statement, you just don't care for it.

[SMEGMA STENCH]

Yeah I'm sure that's what a bunch of average joe hetero dads really want. A bunch of sillynannies teaching their boys.

So, from what I can tell what you've posted, the only versions that use the word homosexual were copywritten after 1980.....

With the exception of the American Standard Version, which was written in the 20's and 30's.

Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

Allowing gay people to be leaders of children is a human right?

[46Tbird]

You can say that Human Rights is the same argument. Don't make something its not - there are parallels and even shared ideas - but its not the same thing.

Allowing gay people to be leaders of children is a human right?

[Binky]

It's how much freedom you're willing to allow "someone else" to have around your loved ones, and how you perceive that "someone else."

Is he a sane, reasonable person that just happens to have a unique hobby, or is he a wild eyed maniac waiting to pull a weapon out and fire it into a crowd?

See, it's exactly the same argument.

[ELVIS]

Elvis, I'm not sure you or Jr get to choose if he decides to be gay or not. Like a guy I grew up with once told me, "Why would I choose to live a life where people look down on me, say awful things to me, & treat me like less of a person if I had an actual choice?" Makes sense to me that it's not a conscious choice that one makes.

i certainly understand that. i also said i imagine life is much easier for a straight person that a homosexual. that said i wouldnt let jr hang out with murderers, theifs, ne'er-do-wells, gangsters, rapists. those people are not what i want Jr to learn from. someone once said show me your friends and i'll show you your future. i find lots of truth in that. I am just saying that with my admittedly little knowledge on the subject that i as a father HAVE to do what I deem in the best interest of raising a well adjusted young man. in its simplest yet most homophobic form its the same reason i dont dress him in pink and buy him barbie dolls (insert Elvis doll joke here) i want to give my son the most and best i can. i believe most parents try to raise their kids with their values. could i be 100% wrong in my feelings on the issue??? certainly!!!!!!!!!!! am i the one who has to go to sleep at night for the rest of my life if im not???

god bless.

[Lason]

Good for you. You don't have an issue with it. Some other people might. Yes I'm aware there are gay teachers. And? Are we talking about schools now?

Well you said

"Scouts is an organization where you leave your kids completely in the care of other adults, often for the first time in their life. So ask yourself, how comfortable are you sending your 5yr old boy into the woods with a gay man for a week? "

Unless I have been doing it wrong all these years, my kids sit in classrooms without me all day as well. Wouldnt that be the same thing?

[downshift_me]

Can you just put the kid in Girl Scouts so I can get a hook up on cookies?

[46Tbird]

Or the abortion debate with different babies?

(no its' not)

It's how much freedom you're willing to allow "someone else" to have around your loved ones, and how you perceive that "someone else."

Does that include lipstick lesbians?

[mustang_revival]

That passage mentions nothing about homosexuality.

I forgot that most boy scouts are gay too! fuck, this might be a bad idea after all. Consensual?

I'm not aware of the particulars of your case.

Has anyone else realized this is just the gun control debate with different guns?

Mama! Just killed a man. Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead.
