Memo

To: Boot Hill
From: MedicalMess

Subject: Presumption of Guilt

I noticed you had some definite opinions about me as an individual for which you have no basis. May I suggest that before you call someone a liar that you should find out more about the particulars of their described situations. The reason why I say this is because you have presumed me guilty of perpetrating a fraud without sufficient evidence.

It is dishonest for you to say that I have obtained a God and Country award under any other circumstances than that prescribed for it's obtainment.

You state, "MedMess chose the dishonorable and deceitful path and he has to live with that.", because I have taken an oath to God and Country. Just because my view of God is not the same as yours does not make me dishonorable and deceitful person.

Further, the Scouts are not suppose to be a pseudo-nazi organization which passes judgement on peoples personal relationship with God. It never has been a big deal in the past. Maybe some people in the organization feel they need to take the organization away from American values toward a more fascist direction.

But your personal attacks on me are unwarranted, without merit and illustrate a certain level of immaturity.

You aren't by chance a Democrat are you? Because you certainly are a first class JACKASS.

MedicalMess complains: "It is dishonest for you to say that I have obtained a God and Country award under any other circumstances than that prescribed for it's obtainment"

But MedicalMess also says: "I was, and still am, not convinced of a higher being or order in the universe."

Let's see, first you obtain the God and Country award while you were a Boy Scout and while pledging a weekly oath of honor to God and Country. And you also maintain that while you did this, you were "not convinced" that there was a God. Sure sounds to me you like you were lying, deceitful, dishonorable and got your God and Country award under false pretenses. But then maybe it depends on how you define lying.

MedicalMess protests: "Just because my view of God is not the same as yours does not make me dishonorable and deceitful person."

I was not condemning you for your views, I was condemning you for spending so much of your life lying to those that trusted you about those views by pledging on your honor that you'd do your duty to God and Country. It was the lack of integrity character and honor, not your views.

MedicalMess charges: "the Scouts are not suppose to be a pseudo-nazi organization which passes judgement on peoples personal relationship with God."

So now demanding that scouts not bear false witness or that they must adhere to the organizations rules is tantamount to being a Nazi? Pretty sick reasoning.

MedicalMess asks: "You aren't by chance a Democrat are you? Because you certainly are a first class JACKASS."

Sorry MedicalMess, but your autobiography has to be posted under "vanities".
