My wife is Asian, and we have tons of respect (and love) for each other. In many ways, as you say, Asian women exemplify the values of American women of yore.
OK, then. So why not say "to hell with the council", have cupcake sales (or whatever), keeping 100% of the money for the troop, and buy equiptment? I don't see the problem -- an insurrection of the scouts and their moms would leave the councils high and dry
'Female Liberalism' Pervades Girl Scouts, Says Ex-Scout
Lesbian Girl Scout Leader Assaults 12 Year Old Girl
GLSEN - Girl Scouts Try a Version of Don't Ask, Don't Tell:
"... The local council has since welcomed open lesbians into its ranks..."
Barf Alert:
Lesbians are to Scouting as Sunshine is to Summer...
"Suffice it to say, "without lesbians" there would probably still be a Girl Scouts of America, but without lesbians, "GSA probably would not be the vibrant organization it is today, nor would it be inspiring so many girls and women to high ideals of character and community," says author Nancy Manahan. Manahan, whose first book Lesbian Nuns: Breaking Silence (co-authored with Rosemary Keefe Curb), sent shockwaves through the lesbian and the religious communities, is again broaching a subject universally understood to be taboo: lesbians in scouting—young lesbian scouts, lesbian volunteers, and lesbians in administrative positions within local councils and the national organization...
For some, no doubt, contributing to On My Honor was a healing experience. Manahan hopes that the book can be a catalyst for healing, a catalyst for change within the world of scouting. But for Manahan, On My Honor began an opportunity for "lesbian girl scouts to tell their stories in print for the first time." But as she got into the project and heard "stories of homophobia, and became informed about the Girl Scout policy and practice on sexual orientation, another motive emerged: to help this wonderful, progressive, idealistic, dedicated and influential organization—the largest organization of girls and women in the world!—take it’s role in the most important civil rights struggle of our time: gay, lesbian, bisexual equality..."
May I suggest to you that you also obtain a similar job, and you will have the chance to do what you advise others?
Anyway, what is not changed is the attitudes displayed by so many American women that renders them harmful to the American male.
At least, those values still exist. My wife was born in 1954. She has those values. The younger women mostly seem to lack them.
And here's the surprising thing, at least by my observation - Most of those younger women live LESS happy lives than they would if they still had those values. Just watch a couple of episodes of 'Friends' on TV. If you have traditional Christian values, you can't help feel sorry for (and be repulsed by) the lives of the girls (and boys) on that show.
Hey Mr. Salvation - Support Boy Scouts with time or money. They really make a (good) difference in the lives of many young men. My own two sons have benefited enormously from this program.
Good true story!
if you could have seen the look on her face when she was waving the NY Post on the Senate floor last week...........
Has she recanted since Daschle and Gephardt have?
Bump for Camp Fire Boys and Girls.
....in the few words you posted on FR your attitude clearly came threw. These young adults are not stupid and most can read people like a book!
And, their attitudes and harm have been done by their parents and society
....and isn't it quite possible you may be adding to the damage all ready done.
May I suggest to you that you also obtain a similar job, and you will have the chance to do what you advise others?
I do, I teach Sunday school and a great deal of my lessons are on daily life, and future expectations !
Anyway, what is not changed is the attitudes displayed by so many American women that renders them harmful to the American male.
Could you just explain what these attitudes are and do all or most males share your views?
There is no Campfire "girls" anymore. It is "Campfire USA" now. This organization went pc a long time ago, I am sad to say. I was a Campfire girl way back when and had a great time.
Their website tells alot.
excerpt:
Camp Fire USA's programs are designed and implemented to reduce sex-role, racial and cultural stereotypes and to foster positive intercultural relationships.
Then they go on to tell you about the percentages of age, gender and ethnicity there are within the organization. (go figure...) The logo on the home page has the three words "integrity, responsiblity and tolerance" underneath. Guess which word is set in the largest font.
