Ooops. I meant to say:

Three Whoops for the Throop Troops.

(ps let's see the politically correct Hong Kong managers shout slogan out when they decide to apologize)

Isn't it suspicious that the goal of the left is to demoralize the population by any means possible and this bank is from Hong Kong?

Even in ancient tomes, forced homosexualization was a means of coercion and control of humanity by the Gods and Demi Gods.

Those who seek to conquer and own a man's soul have used the moral slavery of homosexality time and again to their advantage.

Bump. I hope Throop citizens won't stop there...that bank should close and LEAVE TOWN.

HSBC, being an off-shore bank which is out of Hong Kong and Singapore, we felt it was out of place that a bank, a commercial establishment, is drawing lines in the sand and taking sides."

wonder how much HSBC contributed to NY JR senator's campaign?

Throop showed true spirit in taking their business elsewhere. Support the Boy Scouts with your pocketbook. When United Way cuts off the funds, cut off your funds. Don't contribute!

Bill Jacobs, the lone Republican on the five-person city council, proposed the resolution at Thursday's council session. Jacobs called HSBC's action "a blatant case of discrimination."

Interesting that many revolutions begin with one person standing up.

I am going to feel a lot better when somebody stands up and states THE BOT SCOUTS SHOULD NOT ALLOW HOMOSEXUALS AS LEADERS ANYMORE THAN THE GIRL SCOUTS SHOULD ALLOW TEENAGE BOYS TO ACT AS LEADERS

Furthermore all these businesses etc that are ousting the Boyscouts let them use their managerial expertise to start a scouting organizastion that WELCOMES HOMOSEXUALS as leaders and see how many parents send their kids.

WAY TO GO!

By taking actions such as this, these fine people can point the way out of mush-headed quagmire of bonzo Berkeleydom. This PC garbage would get a similar, spirited reception in my small town of Smithville, Texas, too!

Just say NO...to the rainbow!

It is becoming very alarming how many businesses "roll over" for these homos.
