bonus hax chat q: she turned down a friend's Boy Scout troop's sale because of the Scouts' stance on gays. and made sure the friend's 11-yo son knew - chuckles Jul 23, 10:58 39
- kids that age are the ones that toss off homophobic insults, its the age that group think prejudices develope, so its the perfect age to instill some - zeitgeist Jul 23, 11:08 4
  - I love when other people teach my kids some consequences about their clubs and hobbies. It's the shit. -- nm - TFox Jul 23, 11:10 2
    - [deleted]
    - To be fair, the kid's the one who hit her up for money -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 11:12
  - offs -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 11:09
- While I have zero respect or tolerance for any anti-gay organization, it's obviously something you shouldn't bring up to a kid. nm - Dignan Jul 23, 11:05 9
  - I dunno, the kid asked for an explanation. It kinda depends how it went down, but it's not obvious to me that this person was *way* out of line. - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 11:07 8
    - "We have different beliefs." nm - Dignan Jul 23, 11:09 3
      - heh. That is what I say to the Salvation Army bell ringers at Christmas. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 11:17
      - Agreed, that's the way it should have gone. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 11:15

        not every discussion is appropriate or necessary for every person at every age -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 11:12
      - Like I said, a little out of line, yeah. But she's apologized. - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 11:09
- I'd have saved the explanation for the mom, but if she's already apologised, mom probably needs to chillax too. - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 11:05
- Waiting for Jim to show up -- nm - amoxy Jul 23, 11:04
- If the events happened as she says (she was polite, he asked for an explanation) then tough titties to the Mom. The BSA discriminates and I - TWuG Jul 23, 11:03
- the professional side of the BSA is so effin stupid it's ridiculous. However, every troop and pack are individuals and run by volunteers within - CQ Jul 23, 11:03
- If uptight mom doesn't want her son to know about gays, he shouldn't be in a organization that singles them out. -- nm - mara Jul 23, 11:02 3
  - This is correct -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 11:05
  - maybe. but i would not go out of my way to inject that into something like a bake sale -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 11:04 1
    - I'm not sure she went out of her way, but I agree that it would have been better to just say "no, thanks." -- nm - mara Jul 23, 11:11

    - [deleted]
  - I'm sure she wishes she did that now. Hindsight = 20/20. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 11:04
  - the zubaz is correct -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 11:02
  - exactly -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 11:02
  - *ding* -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 11:02
- Stand up for your opinions and screw her. She doesn't want to know, then don't ask. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 11:00 4
  - I think it was the boy scout who asked though - not the mom - and perhaps 'religious differences' would have been sufficient? -- nm - JenBro Jul 23, 11:03 1
    - Oh, I guess I read that incorrectly. I thought the mom asked. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 11:04
  - really? i would never tell a kid that -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 11:00 1

  - I only like good things. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 23, 11:04
- I like it, though I'd say it really doesn't add much (anything?) over the teasers. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 23, 11:01
- [deleted] 1
  - Yeah, the just released one. In this case showing more of the story is a negative. -- nm - Dano Jul 23, 10:59
- You and pixie should just go start building your own little compound now. Spawn can join you. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 10:59 7
  - Dude, I am the biggest Tron fan here (since The Teacher no longer posts). -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 23, 11:00
