Brewmeister Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Did you ever hear of COFFEE, Merlyn? Your incorrect assumptions about the origin of my user name are not my problem. Idiot.(This message has been edited by brewmeister) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholic church refuses to recharter Boy Scout troop led by the The Village People? Readers can be reasonable. It's the same reasonableness that allows people to comprehend that it's okay to not require churches to marry homosexual couples. If you don't like the policies of the charter org, join a unit chartered by city hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kari_cardi Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It's a start. I hope National comes through with this and more. I've wondered about BSA employees and how they might be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RememberSchiff Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Join a unit chartered by city hall. "Won't happen if atheists can't join." Merlyn Yes this has to be addressed as we REALLY need public schools as CO's, so we can be where the kids are and readily run after school scout programs on school/govt property.

Merlyn_LeRoy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ah, yes, saying the BSA still has standards by excluding atheists gets a free pass (even though it's analogous to an organization finally allowing blacks but still excluding Jews "because we have standards"), and nobody except me calls him on it, yet I'M the hatemonger. Fred, you're just a bigot. You aren't even an entertaining bigot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packsaddle Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Enough already! It's clear you guys don't like each other. No need to encumber the rest of us with all that stuff! Brewmeister, this move toward local option doesn't alter in the least the standards your CO might want to apply for membership. It means that BSA is giving you and your CO the freedom to choose, just like everyone else. I can't see the down side to that. Clue me in. Edit: Merlyn, I guess we were typing at the same time. I'm not so sure this still excludes atheists if the CO gets to determine membership standards. If this is real (and I'll still believe it when I see it) it looks like a serious reversal by BSA.(This message has been edited by packsaddle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDPT00 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I've already seen, "What about athiests?" and "What about girls?" Once there's a crack in the dam ... Sounds to me like BSA is approaching this with caution, and here we go making all sorts of assumptions. We're ripe for rumors. I'll wait here.

Brewmeister Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Oh give it up Merlyn. You're assumption was wrong, yet again, so just sit their in your wrongness and be wrong. Oh, and being called a "bigot" by you is pretty much a compliment, you godless agitator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
