You learn something every day, I guess. How many people here believe this?

A Republican Christian senator is a bigot. In other news, water is wet.

Can you imagine if they're a Girl Scout and the play softball? That's practically a 100% chance they're a lesbian.

Next you're going to fill us in on field hockey, volleyball and NCAA women's bassetball, huh? Man, you need to get out more.

Now this has been several (25) years ago, but back when I knew a bunch of GS types, their hierarchy was completely lesbian. Not.that.there's.anything.wrong.with.that...

It took about 5 years or so, and the whole hierarchy of the state/region council was batting for the other team. We're talking 15-20 professional staff. In the summer, add 20+ camp workers, not all of whom were on the team. They had a HELLACIOUS softball squad, let me tell you. It was fun to watch some of the Mary Jane types figure it out during their first summer as a counselor-in-training at camp. Surprise!

As for the atheism thing, he's way off base. Girl Scouts was always a pretty religious group in my experience. Who knows what goes on these days, though. From the outside, it looks more like a big business. Good for them.

I'm sure the Senator was confused, and will amend his statement anon.

Despite your moniker, your not that slick. Perhaps you should change it to "Flatpoint", as you have no point.

What do you think about the topic, BadKosh? Is this Eagle Scout birdbrained? Even if he's right, so what? I wish the boy scouts were more inclusive, but they're fighting off their abuse scandal and are overcompensating.

When I was a girl scout, religion didn't have much to do with our troop, and we didn't even know what lesbians were.

My sister was in Girl Scouts and my mom was a Girl Scout Leader for several years. Neither one of them are gay, nor do I believe that it's a place for turning girls into lesbians.

Girl Scouts is about empowering girls, to build self confidence. The reason this senator is spreading FUD is because he hates the idea of a woman with an opinion. I'm willing to bet his ideal woman is silent, in the kitchen, and her only job is to please him.

You're attacking my sarcasm. I was poking fun at the senator because there was a different Republican senator (forgot which) that was claiming that women who play softball are gay.

No he's not, and no he won't.

They missed out on some interesting experiences I guess, you know, learning about different cultures, etc.
Girl Scouts is about empowering girls, to build self confidence. The reason this senator is spreading FUD is because he hates the idea of a woman with an opinion.
Or maybe the senator knew someone in the Hornet's Nest Girl Scout Council heirarchy (NC/SC) between 1980 and 1989.

Your statement is completely baffling to me.

Perhaps, but he's generalizing an entire organization based off unfounded, anecdotal evidence.

I agree, he's generalizing. He should, instead, name names if it 's that important to him. THEN we'll see if anyone cares.

By the first statement, I didn't mean any more than what I said. I accepted your data point (in your knowledge, your Mom and sister didn't see any of that) for what it's worth.

Girl Scouts, another liberal agenda to turn every girl into lesbians and atheists.

Damn those liberals! They have taken over our schools, our media, our government, and now the girl scouts. They are sly m*therf*ckers.

You know the conservative solution is to give them sheets with holes in them and camcorders.

Pff, them Democrats are just sour that they couldn't recruit such talent in their own ranks.

We all know the Democrats could use that idiot to explain in Nov. why they should be re-elected.
