We need to start a religion where we are offended by all the things the Muslims want.

I’m offended when pork is NOT served. Who’s going to cater to my quirks?

And the scouts have been banned from having campfires and instead have to sit round a potplant - because of safety fears.

Is this satire?

Be prepared! that's the boy scout's marching song,

Be prepared! as through life you march along.

Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well,

Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell.

Be prepared! to hide that pack of cigarettes,

Don't make book if you cannot cover bets.

Keep those reefers hidden where you're sure

That they will not be found

And be careful not to smoke them

When the scoutmaster's around

For he only will insist that it be shared.

Be prepared!

Be prepared! that's the boy scouts' solemn creed,

Be prepared! and be clean in word and deed.

Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice,

Unless you get a good percentage of her price.

Be prepared! and be careful not to do

Your good deeds when there's no one watching you.

If you're looking for adventure of a

New and different kind,

And you come across a girl scout who is

Similarly inclined,

Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared.

Be prepared!

It seems crazy, but what can you do?

Indeed. No solution occurs to me. Obvisouly, a hopeless situation that cannot possibly be remedied. Sure.

I’m a Meatatarian — and I’m offended. I believe that each and every meal should include at least some meat. Now, what are you going to do about it.

Thank G-d this is in the UK. I would like to think no parent of a Scout in this country would put up with this kind of shiite.

I’m not sure what to even make of this story yet. Pinging more more awake digestion.

This was not satire, it’s a serious article. I think bangers are hot dogs? The British have gone mad.

The word "resistance" comes to mind.

Oops, we just offended the worlds tea drinkers.

“We have been very careful though to make sure food is provided to everybody’s tastes and beliefs”

Except it seems to those that wanted burgers. Clearly there was no interest in their beliefs.

“And wood and flint were dropped for safer gas stoves because of the fire risk to plant and wildlife.”

might as well camp indoors and order takeout chinese.

I live a a very small community and the local scout troop had a pig roast the other weekend. It was very well attended. They raised the critter from a baby and roasted her in an open pit, mighty tasty. I did think it was funny that they named her Gerty.
But what a feast.

Absolutely ridiculous! I prefer to eat animal protein and take offense when vegans refuse to serve meat, but you don’t see them bending over backwards to avoid offending me, do you?
