Any ideas?
“get Thee behind me Satan. Your parents are horrible people for allowing you to join an organization that murders born alive babies. Your organization also supports the idiotic transgender mental illness movement, and they support LGBTGRPTILMZ or whatever they call it now, and they support the abomination of gay marriage. What’s the matter with You? You should be smarter than to join an organization without checking out their horrible sinful policies first.. I hate your group, and...
Nah just kidding, here’s $20.”
Seriously though- There’s i guess two approaches- help the individual girl build her self esteem who is doing something that is likely not very comfortable for her- going door to door talking to strangers- or politely decline and tell them you only eat things made with spotted owl eggs. Protesting the girlscouts should be done directly- not through unsuspecting girls who joined simply to be a part of a group of neighborhood girls
“No thanks”
Move on. You won’t do anything but PO the adults around.
Sorry I don’t carry cash or you just bought the same cookies for 75 percent less at Aldis
The consensus here is to be polite and not attack the parents or their daughters, to which I wholeheartedly agree. I wish our educators felt the same way when indoctrinating young girls into radical, perhaps damaging, lifestyles. Should the parents object, they are labeled as racists, homophobes (fill in the blank). There is nothing subtle about the lefts attacks on our kids.
If it looks like sincere little girls I’ll buy a little.
Especially if well mannered
It’s not their fault their organization is run by lesbos
I don’t try to explain my political views on other people’s kids unless they are in my home and want to talk
Back in 1968, I won a free trip to six flags over Texas, for selling the most boxes of cookies in my troop that year. Could be some young girl today has an innocent incentive to sell the cookies, best to not rob her of it.
They’re little girls. Leave them alone. Plus a grown man lecturing little girls could definitely be seen as really creepy.
Yeah, let’s just give credence to the idea that conservatives are jerks.
I sometimes say, “No, thanks...I don’t support the HQs policies.”...with a pained, but kind expression.
I figure they’ll likely ignore my comment, at most...or, ask their moms what that means, at least.
Most times, I simply say, “No, thanks.”
So you want to create a nationwide campaign to confuse and make little girls cry because they sell cookies ?
I just smile at them and say “No thanks.” Most of the girls are way too young to understand anything about the issues, so there’s no point ruining their day. The problem is with the GS leadership, not the girls.
Feeling a compulsion to lecture little girls is creepy.
How about practicing self control and not lecturing anyone?
That's something you should be telling to the adults who run an organization like the Girl Scouts, not the kids selling cookies at your door or in the shopping mall.
If you want a way to gracefully decline making a purchase to a young kid, tell her that you have already bought dozens of boxes from your own daughter/niece/granddaughter and be on your way.
Yes. Just don’t buy the cookies.
I just tell them that I am opposed to Planned Parenthood and cannot support their effort and wish them the best of luck. For the same reason,I stopped supporting Race for the Cure (against breast cancer - which is also much more common among maternal abortion victims). I don’t tell the GS that though.
biggest dick move I’ve heard in months. some little girl’s daddy is going to come visit you, and good luck when he gets there.
How about, “I give to my church.”?
I make a donation to the troop and tell the moms why I cannot buy the cookies for the associations you cited. Donations to the troop do not go to the national organization. Since the troop only gets $.50 per box sold, a small donation ($5-$20) is like selling a lot of cookie boxes. I have heard from the mothers that the donation method is happening more and more often. There is no point or need to intimidate the young girls.
How about, “No thanks. Not interested.”
Just remember the late great Patrick Swayze’s words in “Roadhouse”...
“I want you to be nice, until it’s time not to be nice.”
This is a time to ‘be nice.’
