Do you think the Boy Scouts of America should let gays in?

The Mormon Church is not a Church...it's a Cult. Research their practices.

All churches are cults. Did you ever watch a Catholic "Mass" with all the gold idols and dresses, the burning incense and the chanting that no one understands? Or, did you ever witness a "baptism", like dunking people in the lake or river? Wow, they all do such silly things and then tell stories about raising people from the dead (Zombies?) and living in the belly of whales, etc... all a form of madness, just different ways of expressing it.

EXCELLENT POINT, Eternal Nate ... i feel the same way about using taxpayer funds to support discrimination against American citizens

Thanks, it's the same way with Planned Parenthood. Is it fair to have taxpayer funds support abortion? Hell no, so why is it okay for our very same tax dollars to go toward discrimination against American Citizens? Amirite?

How many unwanted babies can you afford? Want to order some? They cost taxpayers upwards of $600,000 each over their lifetimes, in today's dollars, even before they multiply and produce three or four more each. Let me know how many
you would like.

:(

As you should.

Honey, they not only would last, they'd be making flower arrangents for the tents from wild berry's and baking sage rabbit in a cast iron pot on the fire.

What a jack a$$

Than let them cook their sasafra..ass but do it in their own groups and leave the Boy Scouts to their business. Why is it so important to get gays in a healthy group?

A healthy group? Do you realized there has already been rapes in that group from "healthy" married men (we call the Pedophiles) on young boys?

Are you making this up or do you have names of those rapists? Besides if there have been rapes it wasn't the boy scouts who did it while introducing known homosexuals already proves immorality.
Just because you are gay doesn't mean that it is a normal behaviour nor does it mean that you have the right or privilege to spread your dysfunctional behaviour on others.
I find it disgusting that you people would use a young child's venue to spread your filth.

You'll find on many sites stories of rape in the Scouts. The victims were the boys. Perpetrators were "straight men".... Pedophiles.

The Gay men I have known do NOT have an agenda to "spread their behavior" especially to children. I do not understand why you people won't educate yourselves on this issue.

Um, it was a Conservative who wrote this post and started the discussion. Do you find them discusting, or just the ones trying to teach you the truth?

Again you sited instances involving straight men but with no proof. This is always the case with liberals. Creating a fantasy doesn't make it a reality. I'm not saying that there are no such cases but as far as relating them to an epidemic or justifying the invasion of gays into the organization, I will not fall for that liberal
'the sky is falling" crap. Like I have told others, why don't gays leave the straight people alone and form their own groups? Because gays want to normalize what happens to be an abnormal and immoral behaviour.

I did give you proof.
Sorry you are such a closed minded bigot!

Happy fouth of July, enjoy it under liberal rule while it lasts.

4 more years.

Here are some of your names since you have a computer but cannot look it up on your own.

IF FIT WHY NOT.

It would be nice if they did, but I'm a girl, I'm not a parent, I've never been any type of scout in my life.... so, it's whatever. A lot of gays are getting hyped over this whole thing, but why? Pick your battles, people. Doesn't exactly effect my life or yours.

Oh, and if they HAVE tax exempt status, they should lose it. Same with the churches. If you're invested in politics, you gotta pay taxes. Deal with it.

You are suggesting that those who refuse to suck a body part or allow it need to be denied "tax exempt status"? That is a quantum leap. Can you imagine what the
question of the tax return might be, or what the "Auditor" might demand for proof?

If an organization is actively involved in politics, YES they should be taxed.

In 1964, would they have allowed BLACK boys in the Boy Scouts?

Things change sometimes.

Gay does not equal Pedopholia!! How stupid are you?

A man who wants to "get at" little boys is a Pedophile. It's a nasty sickness. Gay men are gay. Straight men are Straight. Pedophiles are adults who prey on minors, straight OR Gay, but mostly they have a HETERO profile.

Did you research it?

Here's just ONE University study. Please read instead of chickening out.

http://psychology.ucdavis.edu...

"G and Birnbaum (1978) studied 175 adult males who were convicted in Massachusetts of sexual assault against a child. NONE of the men had an exclusively homosexual adult sexual orientation. 83 (47%) were classified as "fixated;" 70 others (40%) were classified as regressed adult heterosexuals; the remaining 22 (13%) were classified as regressed adult bisexuals. Of the last group, Groth and Birnbaum observed that "in their adult relationships they engaged in sex on occasion with men as well as with women. However, in no case did this attraction to men exceed their preference for women....There were NO MEN who were primarily SEXUALLY attracted to other adult MALES..."

Other researchers have taken different approaches, but have similarly failed to find a connection between homosexuality and child molestation. Dr. Carole Jenny and her colleagues reviewed 352 medical charts, representing all of the sexually abused children seen in the emergency room or child abuse clinic of a Denver children's hospital during a one-year period (from July 1, 1991 to June 30, 1992). The molester was a gay or lesbian adult in fewer than 1% in which an adult molester could be identified – only 2 of the 269 cases

Describe for me what assault a pedophile might make on a young boy that is not a homosexual act. Don't hesitate to tell the details if they are important.

Pedophilia is a CRIME! It's a sickness. Pedophilia is not about being Gay. Pedophilia is about wanting and needing to have control and sex with a helpless child. You can research this, ask ANY Psychiatrist, they will concor. They are preditors.

As a whole, Gay men have no desire to hurt children. If you Google it, you'll notice that most Pedophiles are straight men, but they go after little boys AND girls.

So, suppose these same motive are extended to a boy or girl who just had their 18th birthday. Did the motives of the assailant somehow change because the victim had a birthday? Absolutely NOT, the homosexual acts
committed upon the victim is exactly the same as those inflicted upon the 15 year old victim. Pedophiles are, of course, no better or worse than homosexuals, just deviate from normal behavior in a slightly different way.

You can't even comprehend what I'm saying. I'm not going back and forth with you. I have explained it, you keep changing the crime.

Homosexuls do NOT fit in the catagory of a Pedophile.

They did, just the day before the 18th birthday of their victim.

No

Uh.....this guy is a major creep. I debated with him on a similar topic and he described the seduction of little boys by "gay pedophiles" in really disturbing detail.

Like I said, MAJOR CREEP.
