  2. This place is begining to suck! Where are all the funny posts?
  3. Here in Texas we are not aloud to shoot down UFOs. I guess we have had some ET encounters before.
  4. Maybe you have a point. I think they can also read the disclaimer. If the Scouts are going through their Citizenship in the World, Nation Merit programs; Well, I think they would expect to see fevorish debate in a topic such as issues and politics. Personaly I think your not able to hold your own.
  5. Why would it matter? Never thought if it went against any of the Scout Law or Oath. Let me get back with you on that.
  6. Quotes From A Passed President. Do You Know Who He Was? "The Founding Fathers believed that faith in God was the key to our being a good people and America's becoming a great nation. George Washington kissed the Bible at his inauguration. And to those who would have government separate from religion, he had these words: 'Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.' And Ben Franklin, at the time when they were struggling with what was to be the American Constitution, finally one day said to those who were working with him that, "Without God's help, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel." "If Benjamin Franklin rose to invoke the Almighty as the Constitution itself was being drafted, if the Congress of the United States opens each day with prayer, then isn't it time we let God back into the classroom?" "The Constitution was never meant to prevent people from praying; its declared purpose was to protect their freedom to pray." "We Americans are blessed in so many ways. We're a nation under God, a living and loving God. But Thomas Jefferson warned us, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just." We cannot expect Him to protect us in crisis if we turn away from Him in our everyday living. But you know, He told us what to do in II Chronicles. Let us reach out to Him. He said, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." "The image of George Washington kneeling in prayer in the snow is one of the most famous in American history. He personified a people who knew it was not enough to depend on their own courage and goodness; they must also seek help from God, their Father and Preserver." "While never willing to bow to a tyrant, our forefathers were always willing to get to their knees before God. When catastrophe threatened, they turned to God for deliverance. When the harvest was bountiful, the first thought was thanksgiving to God. Prayer is today as powerful a force in our nation as it has ever been. We as a nation should never forget this source of strength."
  7. NJCubScouter, You had quite a bit to say about Jason OK's statement but what about the UNC story?
