Boy Scouts of America

Are you sure that's why the were created?

I don't think that's accurate as the Boy Scouts were founded about 12 years before the Hitler Youth...

I looked it up and you are right, I was taught that in school, guess the teacher was confused. Because if you look it up the create of the scouts was friendly with nazis, but the scouts were created in 1907.
 
I received my Eagle Scout, and while a lot of it is just BS with some pomp and circumstance, I truly did learn some valuable life skills through the Boy Scouts. Really comes down to what troop you join and who the adults are.... I was fortunate enough to be in one where we went on high adventure camp outs and were fairly liberal. We even had openly gay scouts who weren't ridiculed or isolated.

I love sotherners accents. i could listen to them talk all day. and ive met quite a few really cool, smart people from the american south.

but there are some really fucked up hicks down there too. lol in my current area, theres a few too. why people shoot mice instead to laying traps is beyond me. rats, well i hate those bitches, so if ya got some ratshot and a steady hand, i guess... but traps are so much better.lucky for me this province has zero rats

why certain people dont accept common facts (like growing poorly dosent increase thc) and the earth is round, i dont really get.

Don't listen to teachers... "We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control." Half of them teach politically correct yet scientifically INcorrect information.

One professor I had taught that the interstate system was designed to land military air craft on, etc. etc. but it's not.. I tried to explain to her that that was a myth and she told me I didn't know and that I wasn't an expert... but I AM an expert... in THAT if nothing else. I built and engineered runways AND roads for the military. You can't land a plane on the interstate, lol.

Aww come on... don't hate on us southerners. He corrected the mistake so lay off.

I AM surprised there are no Order of the Arrow conspiracies, lol. Maybe we should start some.

Also, I think redneck or white trash is a genetic thing. It's found all over the country and in Europe. People like to say it is environment.. but it's not. I have one aunt that is about as worthless white trash as you can get. All of her siblings turned out to be great citizens. Two were businessmen, one was an engineer, and another was a school teacher. They were all raised exactly the same. All of their offspring grew up to be decent people as well... but not her kids... they are all white trash too. I'm convinced it is genetic.
 
Is it just a coincidence that a "young" gay dude is called a cub and the young boys of boy scouts are called cubs?
